Pop-Up House

When I think of Aix-en-Provence I picture century old farmhouses and cobble stone laneways, so when I saw this new house it certainly stood out. More astounding still is the fact it was put together in only four days and the only tool used was a cordless drill. Multipod Studio, the firm behind the project, created the design from...

Lawson House … The Rocks Sydney

I recently stumbled across these unique apartments located in the former Lawson Menzies House at The Rocks Sydney Australia.

The multi-level cottage offers just enough space to be comfortable without casting a large footprint. The architects Bosworth Hoedemaker only revamp the interior of the former boat storage, refinishing the massive sliding double...

The Immersery … UP AMONG THE CLOUDS

The centerpiece of the 2014 Melbourne Food and Wine Festival, is a cloud-like structure suspended above a floating bar and open-kitchen restaurant on the banks of Melbourne Australia's Yarra River. The cloud-like canopy sitting above the disused Sandridge Rail Bridge creates a skyline community space offering a new city vantage point.

It is defined as a single volume of white concrete which is divided into three areas.

The Vault house California

It’s a safe bet that if I were walking along this beach in California I would stop in my tracks to look at this house.  Designed by Johnston Marklee, the house has been created around two main elements: the first is the need to capture the spectacular ocean view. The second is the restriction on building size in this location. Their solution to both elements...
