The launch event was attended by over 250 contributors, advertisers, supporters, people who are featured in the magazine, industry guests designers and design professionals – all celebrating the new magazine.

Editor of Habitus, Paul McGillick, explained that this magazine is not an architectural magazine and decidedly not a lifestyle magazine, it is about telling stories – stories about ’way of life’.
