Sustainable and Healthy Homes: Things are Moving in Australia

Sonja Markovic and Armin Towfigh Nia only wanted to visit good friends in Australia in the early 2000s. But because they liked it so much, they swapped their home in Frankfurt for Australia in 2011 after a few years of preparation. Sonja and Armin are the founders of Evitat, a Melbourne-based start-up that is committed to helping builders and people who want to renovate their homes make sustainable and healthy choices. In this interview, they explain why the topic is close to their hearts and how the mood towards sustainable building and renovation has changed in Australia in recent years.
