Great to see that #impactinvestment is taking centre stage at #emergence2020
Impact investment is growing exponentially and we're proud to be a part of the ecosystem by working in triple bottom line real estate development. To the investors in our community who believe in impact, and in our purpose, thank you! We couldn't do it without you.

Day three of #emergence2020 is here! Sydney is an amazing global city, and it's great to be inspired by the sustainability initiatives that are in place in Barangaroo as we push that into the residential space.

What's happening here?!
Today is geotech investigation day, and this amazing little rig is going to tell us a lot about what's under the ground. Fascinatingly, much of Newcastle has very old mines deep underground, and so when you're building on top, you need to make sure that you're doing it right.

This great article about repair cafes was on this

This great article about repair cafes was on this month's RACV magazine. It's a volunteer based program where people bring in their broken items to be fixed, and sit with the repairer to learn how it's done.
This is brilliant, and a great example of how space (a community hall in this instance) can enable programs like these to happen. The community in which we live plays a big role in our overall wellness.
Do you have any examples like this in your neighbourhood?

Paving choices! These are three examples of some really aesthetically pleasing garden paths that we saw today. The entrance to your house makes a big impact, and it's something that you can easily have a bit of fun with... #livingjoy #artintheeveryday #wellnessarchitecture #buildingabetterwayoflife #gardenpath

Amazing green wall brightening up the city! We love seeing these around the place. They look beautiful, clean the air, keep temperature regulated and provide natural habitat.
What do you love about green walls?

Here's our co-founder Tibor, looking at a project that he consulted on in his pre-founder days. The brief was to design an energy-efficient building, and Tibor modelled the fins on the outside of the building for optimal shading. Very cool to see it working!

Last night, our Co-Founder Alice Joy had the honou

Last night, our Co-Founder Alice Joy had the honour of presenting to the new group of budding social entrepreneurs at Macquarie University's Social Entrepreneur Incubator about Living Joy, and how we came to exist. The topic covered the why, the values and the mission. For us, our mission is to help people and the planet to thrive together. We do that by building a better way of life. Our central values are sustainability, wellness, and ethical wealth creation. We believe in impact investment for a better world. Alice finished up by quoting Margaret Mead: 'Never doubt that a small group of committed individuals can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.'
To all of the great people in the program, and we wish you all well on your social entrepreneurship journey!

Repointing 100 year old bricks, and upcycling bricks taken from one wall into the space that we need them.
Taking this 1920s house into 2019 means a new layout, updates, and a sustainable retrofit. Our new wall here creates a new bathroom and a storage nook. We're really pleased with how it's coming along!

Project completed and occupied! This house was moved in two pieces from a development site, put back together, retrofitted for sustainability and comfort and re-clad in @weathertexaus for a sustainable update to a beautiful, character hardwood home. We've got more of these to come, and we're loving doing our bit help to help reduce building waste.

As a company that's often pushing the envelope to

As a company that's often pushing the envelope to support both sustainable and socially responsible development, we're no stranger to the issues that 'original' ideas have!
One quote in particular stood out in the office today; 'practice makes perfect, but not new'. You can get really good at doing things the old way, but often, they don't fix the new problems. For that, new, innovative solutions are required. Food for thought.
