Stalking a modern take on old

Another day another stalking. You'd never guess from its rather unassuming 19th century facade that this inner Sydney terrace house is actually an ultra modern home. There seems to be little of the original house left but sometimes living inner city means keeping true to the streetscape and doing your own thing behind closed doors. The rear elevation is quite striking and the garage with loft over is just too cute. Link here while it lasts.

Open yet private

Clever use of large sliding battened screens to provide seclusion and light control while expansive glass doors push wide open to reach out to the views where privacy is not an issue. Stylish subtropical living in Bardon, Brisbane by architectural firm bureau^proberts.

Hill Plains Cottage

Living off the grid has never been so fabulous ... except this isn't the main house. It's the guest/pool house to Wolveridge Architects award-winning Hill Plains House in country Victoria. (You can see our previous feature here.) Stylish sustainability in the middle of a wide brown land with a natural, chemical free pool by Natural Swimming Pools. If I was a guest I'd never leave.

What? More stalking?

Louvers

The garden is a stylish inner city oasis of grasses, climbers and exposed brick. And then you notice that the back gate/wall is made of adjustable louvers. Clever! Parkville garden by Eckersley Garden Architecture.
