Either the best architecture in the world is happening in Australia or the best architectural journalists are in Australia. I don't know which, but whatever it is, Australia is simply knocking it out of the park (sorry, I don't know any equivalent rugby idioms) with their architecture and reporting. Bravo!
If you look into the Country of birth you will find Most top Australian architects are born in New Zealand and later crossed the ditch to help out our deer Aussie neighbours The same goes with our top horses Sweet cakes And coaches kiwi kiwi kiwi
Australia and New Zealand has amazing architecture in recent time, be it in high or low density areas. Wish more people in my country could be as creative and thoughtful. We have some of the most horrible architecture in the world I think, I'm in Zambia.
The most important thing here is to clarify that Rugby is not our national sport. That would be AFL, Australian Rules Football. And for every amazing house that is built here, developers continue to build awful unliveable apartments and villages of giant soulless and unsustainable houses. It’s a mixed bag. If only more houses, architects and builders were like this one!
@@lachlanjwoods Noted. Honestly, I kinda cringed at the idea of using a sports comment, but it was really the only thing I could come up with in the moment. After a couple decades of listening to TripleJ and several months of streaming Bluey with my toddler, I should’ve been able to come up with something Aussie related! 🤦🏻♂️😁
I can’t believe that this house around the corner from my place in a crappy suburb like mine has been featured on this channel and Never Too Small. Crazy world!
Stunning! The material selection is beautiful and the tree is a magnificent centre piece. Australia's (awful) housing stock is in good hands with architects and builders like this creating a better vision for the future.
I LOVE how the house looks from the outside! It's just something out of Tolkien novel. I cannot say I love the interiors - it's too busy in terms of textures for my taste combining recycled bricks with plywood. But, it's a lovely concept! I really like how solar panels were made into canopy - it looks cool!
This looks okay, from the one single space that we kept seeing. I like the different type bricks because it makes so much sense and brings so much character when you use any brick you can find basically and they still work.
A very clean sleek job. Nice subdued entry via stairs. Love the struts holding the solar cells above the windows☝️ Great bricks and use of them as back splash and flooring. Not a fan of "living roofs". Just dirt, grass and bugs to me....
Brilliant… great, go you all, alas…, I would like everyone who thought wrapping the tree in solar lights to spend one week wrapped in wires of in solar lights, just to experience the sensation before inflicting the process on another living breathing creature.
