Description
When twins Alisa and Lysandra went onto The Block in 2013, they were certain they were going to win. This intuition and confidence has guided them through their entire lives, from their time in the police force to the launch of their renowned lifestyle brand al.ive body.
A Life Reimagined: Designed for More goes behind the scenes and uncovers exactly what it takes to completely change the trajectory of your life. The twins peel back the layers of their lives so far, sharing the childhood experiences that gave them their signature strength and character, the gut instincts and grit that led them to their auction-winning Block house, and the reality of starting a business from the ground up.
Interspersed with their personal stories are stunning visuals of their projects, along with the design tips that define their signature aesthetic.
With heavily curated interiors and unique dual covers, A Life Reimagined is crafted to be the centrepiece of your home.

About the Author
Driven by a shared intuition and an uncompromising eye for detail, Alisa and Lysandra are one of Australia’s most recognisable and influential interior designers. After capturing the nation’s attention as the winners of The Block in 2013, the twin sisters successfully pivoted from their careers as police officers to become leaders in the high-end interior design space.
As the founders of their own interior design business and creators of the online series The Design Duo, they have delivered a portfolio of bespoke residential and multi-million-dollar commercial projects that define modern luxury. Their entrepreneurial spirit led to the launch of al.ive body, a global lifestyle brand that seamlessly bridges the gap between high-end aesthetics and everyday functionality. Today, Alisa and Lysandra continue to push the boundaries of Australian design, balancing their thriving business with the joys and challenges of motherhood.
