Amazing Perforated Exterior

KUD perforated House

An amazing spin on the classic Victorian inner Melbourne Terrace by KUD architects

This would have to be one of my favourite exteriors of 2009 –

“To us, this project is a platform to establish a critical dialogue within our built environment; to raise questions as much as to find solutions. The project is a critique on our cultural attitudes and how we determine them, on what we consider to be of heritage significance and how to narrate such ideas in a critical and contemporary manner.”

Love it..

You can follow an interesting conversation regarding the perforated house via contemporist along with some more amazing images.

Creatively recycled cardboard store hits Melbourne CBD

Recycled Cardboard Store

Melbourne based boutique Lulamae has teamed with Breath Architecture to bring to the streets of cultural Melbourne this entirely recycled “pop-up shop” in Melbourne Central.

The installation/store can be assembled in just one day and can be flat packed once its reached its 2 month expiry, bringing to the commercial Melbourne central a glimpse of street vendor chic.

The store is now 1 day old and you can check it out at Melbourne Central for the next two months.


New Moon Home to go under the hammer.

40_50238.estates.luxury

It’s that time again, New Moon has been out for a couple of weeks now and there is a now familiar twilight frenzy.

After the popularity of the original post on the Hoke House by Jeff Kovel from Skylab architecture (see my original interview with him here!) I thought now would be a good time for an update on the architecture of New Moon.

Although the Hoke House made an appearance in New Moon interiors shots were in fact from another home restored by the very accomplished contemporary residential architect, Brian Hemmingway and located in West Vancouver, Canada

The home was originally designed by Arthur Erickson, a Canadian and largely celebrated architect whom sadly passed away just this year, and was built in the 1950s.
