Stalking in the snow
Mon, 4 Jul 2011
Winter here in Australia, a land more often associated with sun and surf not winter and snow. Today I'm stalking in the high country of Victoria and the resort village of Dinner Plain. Welcome to Under the Moonlight designed by Giovanni D’Ambrosio. It's a contemporary (and expensive) take on the traditional cattlemen's huts of the area.
"Perched on the edge of an alpine reserve in Dinner Plain Village, part of the highest approved freehold land in Australia, the home is located just 10 minutes from down hill skiing at Mount Hotham. Featuring extensive 8 x 9 sq metre glass panels, sweeping alpine views are drawn in to the interior of the home, which also features a 20 tonne cantilevered fire place made of local stone."
Forget the stone fireplace look at the bathroom! A divan perched beside the spa. Dark and decadent. This is definitely a bachelor's pad in the snow, no? A sexy private après-ski lair. Glühwein anyone? Link here while it lasts.

Beautiful inside and out!
Wow! Magnifique! J'adore! Merci
Uau! Muito linda mesmo!
A-ma-zing! Love the stone fireplace, but yes, the bathroom is to-die-for!
I can't take credit Anita. It was my secret stalker Andrea.
Seduction would be a walk in the park in a lair like this! Gorgeous, love Mt Hotham.
Love the planter/lamp....Has anyone seen it in stores?
I CAN'T PUT IT INTO WORDS, THIS HOUSE IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, THE ARCHITECT IS BRILLIANT, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS HOUSE..........................

væri alveg til í að eiga svona hús
Amazing place! Like the dark colours and the Light from the huge windows it looks warm but fresh and open thanks for this!
really lovely...except i get a little claustrophobic feeling with that large rock mass above the fireplace...
beyond amazing! wow!
Stunning. I adore modern warmth.
The house is too big to be practical, and there isn't an original design idea in the whole dump. It's as if the owner told the architect, "Make it, uh, modern, like we seen in them shiny magazines, and be sure you spend all the money we gave ya. Don't worry, if you need more we can get it! I love money!!"
This is AMAZING. I didn't know Victoria could look so beautiful
Gorgeous! Utterly beautiful!
that is a beautiful house. A bit out of my reach though :-(
I didn't even like looking at the pictures! The house was just that a house, not a home. Cold, impersonal, too many juted angles.
