We grow trees in a machine. In one day. Right here in Australia. From low-grade resources to premium hardwood timbers. Beautiful, safe, sustainable.

“The commitment to zero-waste thinking within the temporary installations industry offers a meaningful and optimistic alternative, positioning the project as a scalable prototype for future environments.”

Belated, but still celebrating NEWNEW’s Gold win at @gooddesignaus last weekend – from early sketchup to finished pavilion, with the team who made it happen – keep an eye on where we take it next!

Thanks again to everyone involved: @cultivated_au @craftedhardwoodscom @mark_tuckey @wildheather_australia @artbankau @oslekcoatings @gerardmurtagh.architect and 📸 @timothykaye

Patchwork Screen for FDW

Patchwork Screen is an ode to the art of slow making. It reimagines recycled jean insulation into a landscape being traversed by a denim-wearing cowboy on horseback.

Long serving as spatial centrepieces, room dividers are valued equally for their beauty and functionality. Patchwork Screen continues this story. The scene has been realised through manipulating and hand-stitching pieces of Planet Protector onto a Crafted Hardwoods frame.

Patchwork Screen represents the act of care and repair - a nod to a time when the clothing we wore was grown from the earth and made by the people who wore them.

♻️ Less waste. More reuse.

When we take an existing home back to its frame, we don’t simply throw everything into landfill. We take the time to separate materials and reuse or recycle wherever possible.

🧱 Bricks and roof tiles are sorted for reuse or recycling
🪨 Concrete is crushed and repurposed as road base
🪵 Salvaged timber can be given another life through businesses like Crafted Hardwood

It’s a big part of how we’re approaching our Frankston South EnerPHit retrofit.

Keep what we can. Reuse and recycle what we can’t. Then build better for the future.

Your Future. Built Better.

Next time you're detailing an internal glazed partition, spare the aluminium a second thought.

ReFramed gives you a timber option, built to slot into the same detail, the same install logic and the same budget conversation.

Massive thank you again to these legends, Darren @craftedhardwoodscom and Jem @likebutter.au for giving up their Sunday to present to our members.

Everyone was impressed by the technology behind this engineered hardwood and the possibilities it opens up for furniture making. It really makes you rethink what timber is and how much value can still be found in material that would otherwise be discarded.

And it’s exciting to see what designers and makers are already doing with it. Their collaborations with Jon Goulder, Tom Skeehan and Like Butter are a great example of where this material can go beyond its traditional use in building and architecture.

It was also fascinating to hear how Like Butter has evolved over the years. Starting out in Melbourne’s inner west in 2007, husband and wife Jem Selig Freeman and sculptor Laura Woodward began with a plasma cutter and a focus on stainless steel. Since then, they’ve continued to experiment, collaborate and push the boundaries of design and craftsmanship.

The development of their Kitta Part modular shelving, using Crafted Hardwood dowels, has been a big part of the business’s recent success. Last year, they were awarded Business of the Year, and after hearing the story behind Kitta Part and the work that went into developing it, it’s easy to see why.

Keep an eye out for our next members meeting with HNT Gordon coming up next month!

We won — twice! 🏆🏆

The KETO Project has taken out TWO awards at the 2026 True Zero Carbon Challenge — the ACT Award and the Best Materials Research Award!

We’re honestly so proud and pretty thrilled about this one. 🥹
KETO is a compact, double-storey family home designed for Canberra that reaches 8.7 NatHERS stars, runs net energy positive, and pays back its entire carbon debt by 2048 — two years ahead of the 2050 target.

And yes, the name is a little bit of a joke 😂 “KETO” is a play on the keto diet: a keto diet cuts the carbs — our home cuts the carbon.

The home uses our @netzero_plus prefabricated building system, with carbon-storing KVH structural timber, wood-fibre insulation, triple-glazed windows and a mix of recycled and low-carbon cladding materials.

The whole envelope is made in the factory, helping the home achieve airtightness, comfort and watertight lock-up in about a week on site.

We want to thank @be.evitat, whose AI-led materials intelligence platform helped us research and verify products across the build — contributing to the work that earned us the Best Materials Research Award.

And a BIG shoutout to the Habitat Group team, led by Juven from Efficient Habitat. There were definitely some sleepless nights behind this one! 😅 From researching and checking materials to reviewing documentation, certificates, and supporting files, the team worked incredibly hard to make sure everything was accurate and ready for submission. Some of that work needs to remain confidential, but it was a huge part of getting KETO over the line.

Huge thanks to Design Matters National and premium sponsor Weathertex for such an inspiring program, and to everyone involved — especially Simone Schenkel from reimagined habitat ❤️

Best of all, KETO will soon be available to build as one of our Net Zero Habitat homes.

Watch this space! 🌱🏡
