I do wish architects would incorporate fly screens into their house designs. There are a number of innovative fly screens that look really good and can disappear into the wall cavity when not in use. Living in this house without screens in this location would definitely be problematic. Mosquitoes in Northern NSW are a real concern, due to it being a subtropical climate. Ross River Fever and Dengue virus are a real problem in this area and is spread by mosquitoes.
Definitely one of the more inspiring designed homes at Casurina Beach. This house has a wonderful connecting with the outdoors. The native coastal Banksias trees and the house’s central courtyard really make this home, as does its connection with the street. l have walked pass this house a number of times and it looks fantastic.😊
How can architects keep saying the same things over and over without laughing… all architects in my area say the same thing: “this house is about connecting with nature” “the front interfaces with the street to create a communal feeling with neighbors” “the design tells a story related to (insert bespoke local feature)”… not saying I don’t like these things just saying that is must be hard to BS so much about the same thing over and over. I wish they would say the truth sometimes too “I made these ceilings way high and made this kitchen way too big to satisfy the owners ego wanting to have a big ass house that makes him feel more successful”
"Selamanya" is Bahasa Indonesia. Not Balinese. Bahasa Indonesia is rooted in Malay language. Bali, one of the provinces in Indonesia, has their own dialect.
I would personally despise living in this house. But I realise that for a lot of people this would be an amazing home, and the clients needs have been clearly assesed very efficeintly and beautifuly. So this is great architecture.
The idea of being able to transform the spaces by just sliding doors is my favourite feature. The materials, textures, colour scheme are so honest and simple but exquisite and elegant. Well done.
I personally love Watching this, it's always gives me motivation. I'm always thought my self too live that status of life. Btw I'm from Philippines dreaming 🙂
The great thing about your country is that the beach is really untouched, well preserved and devoid of buildings and housing.. Compared to our country where they build houses everywhere that affects the beauty of the beach.
