Made In The Hunter (MITH) is a network that celebrates regional architecture and design innovation in Newcastle, Hunter Valley, and Lake Macquarie. We organise engaging events that connect homeowners and professional designers directly. Through these events, we aim to support emerging designers, enhance the architectural community, and promote sustainable living practices. We invite you to join us at our next event and contribute to creating a sustainable and innovative future for the Hunter region.
OUR MISSION
We aim to engage and educate homeowners about the process of designing, renovating, or building their homes. Our goal is to educate our audience about sustainable design practices and the importance of sustainability and good architecture in our society. Additionally, we provide information on high-quality design and explain common pitfalls and mistakes that occur during the renovation process.
OUR EVENTS
We host regular events to bridge the gap between homeowners and building design experts, aiming to create direct connections and communication.
These events encompass workshops, Speed Dating sessions, Archi Chats work shops, and House tours.
Archi Chats Workshops: These workshops concentrate on educating homeowners about sustainable design principles and the architectural process.
"Speed Dating" Events: In these brief 5-minute design consultations, homeowners can interact with multiple architects, asking questions and receiving professional advice. These events facilitate direct communication between homeowners and various professionals, including building designers, architects, interior designers, and landscape designers. They offer a platform for homeowners to seek advice and deepen their understanding of the architectural process.
House Tours: Our house tours allow homeowners to explore architect-designed homes, a rarity often limited to the architecture community. This experience highlights the difference between good-quality, affordable design and the standard offerings of project homes.
What You Gain From Our Events
Our events are designed to bridge the gap between homeowners and experienced professionals, providing valuable insights into the architectural and construction process. We demystify the complexities involved, empowering homeowners to confidently embark on their construction journey. By attending our events, participants gain in-depth knowledge about architectural processes, cost considerations, and design principles. We advocate for informed decision-making, encouraging homeowners and developers to step into the construction journey equipped with the necessary knowledge. Our events foster a deeper understanding of sustainable design principles, promoting an eco-conscious approach over conventional builder or project home options. Join us to enhance your understanding, make informed choices, and embark on a construction journey that aligns with your vision and values.
