Nestled in the rolling Alloa Hills near the Sabarmati River in Gandhinagar, India, Studio Sangath has conceived of a bold, contemporary home using terracotta and recycled brick. Headed up by principal architects Khushnu Panthaki Hoof and Sönke Hoof, the project serves as a peaceful retreat where its owners can reconnect with nature and host visiting writers, artists, and filmmakers in an environment conducive to creativity.

The building’s angular archways, stairs, veranda, and interior surfaces are constructed using compressed bricks made from the powdered waste produced in brick kilns. “The design prioritises harmony with nature, featuring an open interior courtyard that draws the landscape inside, framing views from every angle,” the studio says.

Government consulting on sustainable investment labelling

Government consulting on sustainable investment labelling

The Australian Government is starting consultation on sustainable investment product labelling, which is designed to give investors more confidence to put more capital to work in sustainable products.

The federal government said the release of this paper is a key step in implementing its Sustainable Finance Roadmap — designed to help mobilise the capital required for Australia to become a renewable energy superpower, modernising the financial markets and maximising the economic opportunities from net zero.

This consultation paper seeks views from investors, companies and the broader community on a framework for sustainable investment product labels.

These labels are designed to help investors and consumers identify, compare and make informed decisions about sustainable investment products to understand what ‘sustainable’, ‘green’ or similar words mean when they’re applied to financial products.

The government said a more robust and clear product-labelling framework will help investors and consumers invest in sustainable products with confidence and help tackle greenwashing.

This phase of consultation will run from 18 July to 29 August and help the government refine its design principles for the framework.

The consultation paper is available on the Treasury consultation hub.
