Beachside beauty

The ultimate Aussie dream - a beautiful beach front home. Stylish yet easy going with stunning water views. Yes please! We may not be able to own it but we can escape the everyday rat race and relax in this little piece of paradise on Pittwater in Sydney's Palm Beach.

Inside Out House

I don't know what I love more. The wonderful window seat opening the house out to garden or that kitchen. Love that black display wall. Inside Out House by Breathe Architecture.

Working on a Saturday

What is it that I'm always going on about? Something to do with dragging yourself into work on a weekend? Are yes! It helps if it is somewhere stylish. (Dark and moody with a jungle of indoor plants helps too.) Slack Melbourne Office by Breathe Architecture.

A modern city garden

The rain is bucketing down here. A month's rain will fall in one day as an ex tropical cyclone winds slowly down the coast. Schools are closed and even the government has sent non essential staff home. (I can't complain as many to the north of me have lost houses and livelihoods as the cyclone made landfall.) There is a silver lining to all this water falling from the skies. My garden will drink it in, the grass will turn green and my water tanks will overflow. With all this promised bounty to come I'm daydreaming of stylish urban gardens like this new design in inner-Sydney Leichardt by Adam Robinson Design in collaboration with Garden Society.

Hidden

I do like a hidden kitchen, everything behind a bank of doors. Clean lined and contemporary. Take a closer look at this garden pavillion extension to a post war bungalow. Can you see it? Yes there it is. Hiding. House Au Yeung by Tribe Studio Architects.
