Embracing color
The painter-architect Le Corbusier did something artistic with the houses at Pessac. He embraced color and achieved a sense of weightlessness by painting the surfaces in different light colors.
A Pool House
I was so excited to see an article on the uber-talented and inspirational Martin Lejarraga in the November issue of Interior Design. The article featured the home of a young family in Spain who maximized a tight budget by focusing on a few wow-worthy design components, such as the above ground pool. The entire building shell is of a concrete construction except for a few steel panels serving an additional structural component. The three-bedroom, 2,350-square-foot home is truly a minimalist oasis – showing off Lejarraga’s eye for simplicity and form.
Hole Sweet Hole

Amazing Perforated Exterior
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..
