We have all seen (and fallen in love with) shots of photographer Paul Massey‘s Mousehole, Cornwall home but did you know you can rent it for a holiday stay? And look at the view! Oh my! My trouble would be that I wouldn’t want to give the keys back. The Oyster Catcher via Unique Home Stays.

Planted firmly in the hillside and blurring the boundaries between inside and out the house sits on a country road on the way to the Snells Beach in the North Island of New Zealand.  Referencing farm shed and beach the building steps down over the site with walls that open to spectacular vistas of field and sea. Stylish and casual but with a simple elegance. Brick Bay House by Glamuzina Paterson Architects.

A compact and stylish addition to a bijou cottage in Kensington, Melbourne. By sinking the extension into the ground Architects EAT have created a large, open living area that spills into an internal courtyard. Further down a corridor that skirts the courtyard (hi there cute reinforcing rod vertical garden!) is a 2 storey addition containing an enviable studio workroom and master bedroom and ensuite above. 165m² of clever solutions to living large in a small footprint.

Modern family needs and aged Mediterranean patina and all of this is Scottsdale, Arizona. Based on a rural farmhouse the home surrounds a central courtyard with pool providing ample opportunity to tie the inside to the the out. A series of intimate rooms not large open plan areas ensures the home, though large, is on a more human scale. New yet old, relaxed yet sophisticated. By Oz Architects with interiors by David Michael Miller Associates.
