Yes it’s true. I was stalking today and came across what I think is the blogosphere’s first sighting of the Easter Bunny. Standing guard over the stunning home of architect Sharon Fraser.  Modern and minimalist the house achieves a balancing act between pure white box form and everyday family needs. Look carefully at the aerial view and you will see a minimalist cubby house perfect for the littlest family member and all watched over by the giant red rabbit sculpture by Peter McLisky. I’m seriously in love with this house. The minimalism married with the whimsy all wrapped up in the fact that it sits high on a ridge behind the Northern New South Wales coastline in Federal, sigh, perfect… and it has a conversation pit! The house is called “Amileka” which if I had $6.75 million I’d be changing the name to “home”. Link here while it lasts.

Welcome beyond your wildest dreams of holiday luxury. Drink in the modernist beauty that is Villa Amanzi, a stunning six bedroom residence with a 15m infinity pool and breathtaking views over the Andaman Sea at Phuket, Thailand. Millionaires row but a girl can dream.

I have a thing for modular housing. Pavilions, kits, pods. Love ’em. Small spaces that alone or in combination allow you to configure your dream layout in confined spaces or the big wide yonder. Small footprints. Small impact. Small spaces just right for big ideas. This cutie is from kitHAUS and if you click over to their site you can enter their competition to hatch your next big idea staying in this kitHAUS at Arroyo Grande, CA. Look at that view!

Australian firm Tzannes Associates has delved into architectural, urban design and interior design services since 1983. They are award-winning and renowned for elegant and understated architecture. Their process focuses on the relationship between a building, its context and function. It would be an honour to set foot in one of the homes they have designed….and you would have to drag me out kicking and screaming.

Clever, clever, clever. Australian architects just have the knack when it comes to blurring that line between inside and out. Sydney architectural practice Chenchow Little have designed ingenious spatial plays on interiors and exteriors. These contemporary houses employ savvy passive heating and cooling principles that are also standout design features. Award winning Australian architecture at its best.
