Stumbled across this beautiful work of art which only lead me to even more beautiful works of art over here at Anastasia Architects, like the Novosite, ?if that is its real name.
A little bit. It looks like its the way housing should have gone in the seventies, had bauhaus rule all empires in the western world. Aside from that it looks extremely liveable. I know I post a great deal of houses that look beautiful but I reality even the minimal ones would be great to live in but great doesn’t always equal comfortable.
The indoor balcony is always a smash hit, and especially given the retreat is upstairs and away. almost like a modernistic treehouse of sorts.
The house look really elegant but at the same tim eeasy and comfortable to live in which I think a lot of architects are missing the point on these days.
Perhaps it has something to do with the furnishings as well, I have now doubt but the contours, angles and living space layout contribute greatly to how you go on to furnish your home, and how those furnishings accomodate your weary legs.
Make sure you head to their site, and view Villa Castela, in all is cantilever beauty. and view the site in Brazillian, it adds to the experience.

Shut your eyes.
Now imagine you have just told yourself to go to bed. You walk across your perfect polished concrete floors, up your small ladder or stairs, through your little bedroom entry hole, yes entry hole, not door, lay down, and close your eyes, or keep them open because the view is far too perfect to shut them.
I guess this is what the Architects at this house a little bit had in mind. The sleeping retreats, each one of the four has its own unique out look.
The Four eyes house is not only beuatiful to look at, but as an inanimate object stimulates your brain by placing a context on other wise nothing spaces. Yes you can creat a bedroom that is spacious or a bedroom that is warm but these bedrooms, create a different environment all together that engages you visually.
It is just a really great idea.
I am a bit caught up looking at houses this week I am sorry.
More can be read about the Four Eyes House either via, Design Milk, or via the Amazing architect Edward Ogosta’s Site here
The idea is basically that all four bedrooms each have their own outlook, one being the sky and stars at night, one being the skyline of the near city, the 3rd being the mountain scape, and the final and fourth incorporating the horizon intune with the sunset.
Even the surrounding landscape is blended without theatrics or bizarre gardens, or succulents, it is just nice looking dirt, and a nice looking lap pool.

This place is just amazing. Have I said that before on this site? surely not.
it seems as though through the restriction in space and the high density population the amazing current Japanese architects, are become a form of ‘zen master’ of minimal form and clean non clinical warmth.
Shinichi Ogawa and Associates, are responsible for this master piece, and as can be read in this beautiful article at Design-Milk .
Having a tree encompassed by the house (which includes smoked glass no less) is one of those dream boat things that you hope and prey that by some fortune you can install into your house, even if it is only on a window in a door between the garage and the street.
The rest of Shinichi & friends work is equally amazing, but lets not forget the fact that some terribly talented builders and his team with amazing attention to detail have work from the plan to create this building and give us a glimpse of what minimal heaven may look like if we are sent there after reading or watching too much grand designs.
Going to be planting a tree in our living room as soon as Mrs Panda agrees

I can’t help it. I cannot stop reading Design Milks Webpage ever. I do blame them however for constantly breaking what ever christian commandment lust is.
Or seven deadly sin or anti goat coveting law ….you get the picture.
Just want to share where I would like to be with my family this christmas, and easter, and monday thruogh sunday for the rest of my life.
This abode is just exquisite.
There you go. I said it. Exquisite.
I have not posted about apartment or house for a while but wow.
Back the fuck up people this is just the ensuite. Wait for the main bath. Take a breath have a cupcake and then scroll down.
Switchable opaque glass for privacy. Ahhh yepper.
As per Design-Milks article. The actual fitting for the water spout is inserted into the ceiling so the basin’s water alights from the roof and drizzles onto your dainty hands below. cleansing the world with it and possible contributing to world peace – can every one see where I am going with this, this apartment is amazing.

I know, I know, we have been over this before but, this time it is true love…..oh wait, that was for the latest edition of mills and boon I am writing.
I love cubby houses.
I really just do.
I treat our grown up house like a cubby house. Well I found some new ones, perhaps in a more reasonable price range (when I say reasonable, I mean if I was a single millionaire, and the kids I were entertaining were the ones I bought from an orphanage).
These simple modular cubbys give the kids that certain modern minimalist chillout sopt they deserve.
I would order a birch double.
check them out over at Play-Modern
I think I really like the little planter boxes as well, gives that appeal that you kids pad is in SoHo NYC or Camperdown SYD

YSMR Architecture are helping out with this awesome temp housing project for earthquake/tsunami effected areas of Japan, built from ex shipping containers these beautifully liveable housing options, would have to be a lovely and welcome change from tents and demountable housing.
One of the main things voice by the extremely humble people of the Sendai area, was that privacy is something they missed – with the loss of their OWN home and their OWN belongings. These beautifully designed and affordable temp housing solutions go a long way to helping parts of the community to get back on their feet.
you can donate here

Nice conversion. Thinking of doing one of the same in the back yard above the clothesline. Who’s in?
This is truly a beautiful idea. Maybe they should consider it for the narrow waste of metal that has bloomed from the sydney monorailfail. Perhaps we could plant petunias all the way along it or some herb planters, and grow some basil. I really thin it would be a little too narrow to pass off as a jogging track. - But I thought of the jogging track idea first if Clover is asking.

Makes you want to be able to fit in a cubby house huh?
Our girls have a really cool cubby house thanks to their Aunty’s close friend ‘Santa’. here is some other cool alternatives. IT make me really happy to know that people aren’t totally forgetting children. But sometimes you have to wonder. The dirty looks from the 67.5ers when your children hide in the clothes racks or speak above a level of 10 decibels in Myers. Or they might not for a split second be looking where there are going while walking past a toy shop and the 40 year old with no strings and too much money to spend on no one but him or herself can’t help but give the 3 year old a disapproving look. Due to the fact that the child didn’t hop out of the road and organise for a ‘king henry style’ trumpet announcement that the king of IKEA and Woolworths Rhodes is approaching, and that all his subjects, (everyone else in sydney in his or her brain) should be aware that he is on his way pushing a trolley (job of his or her lowly servent) to a right ol’ session of pretending to like sushi, especially the one with friend chicken, and that he is definitely wearing a ralph lauren shirt.
clap. clap. clap. [insert spinifex hilarious whistle type country western roll by]
mate. (referring to male or female) I am going to share the craziest notion with you.
My children are not going to smear donuts/chips/biscuits/cheese sandwich into the leather interior of you VW Polo, and guess what.
yes.
You wear once a child.
Sorry total rant. Sort of like I had too many (insert popular drink at the moment here, usually something with Jagermeister) and too many ‘Styvo’s’ are they still around. Oh they would have to be, Newtown and North Sydney still exist right?
on with the show.
Here are some cool pictures of Cubby house from Design Milk. if you are not subscribe to the team at Design Milk, or don’t refresh their site on you PC every hour you have not lived. I might have stolen that quote from some 40.00y/o that told me that If i had not eaten at a certain cafe in surry hills then I have not lived.
