Situated against the snowy backdrop of Mount Hotham, Australia, sits an angular house by architect Giovanni D'Ambrosio. The angles of the house draw reference from typological archetypes that were once used by countrymen and cowboys that lived in the area. The interior and exterior are comprised predominantly of stone, metal and wood - which all enable the house to fit seamlessly within its environment. With double-glazed windows, the architect wanted to give the owners the ability to enjoy the outside surrounds, from the warmth of the indoors. The main living within the home is enjoyed from the ground floor, whilst the bedrooms and spa find a home comfortably on the level above.






























Contemporary Italian furniture company, B&B Italia have just had their new Tel Aviv showroom completed by Israeli architects Pitsou Kedem. Set inside an industrial harbourside warehouse the 11 metre high space is incredibly impressive with a facade of pillars that create a well defined construction grid. 


Set lakeside in Austin is the 'Shore Vista' project - a two level boat dock by Bercy Chen Studio. The dock is located on a bend of Lake Austin, and the structure reflects this through its elliptical forms, which also maximise the views of the lush surroundings. The rounded edges are able to be peeled away, allowing more of the landscape to be captured in the visual frame. The first floor deck is lined with glass balustrades, which momentarily part for the waterfall to gush down into the lake below. On the lower level, there is a 'beached' area allowing for one to ease into the water, and also provides the owner's children with endless hours of fun playing behind the waterfall.
