Unusual Modern Australian Architecture

The Perforated House is an unusual modern house with its own agenda. Designed by Australian architecture firm Kavellaris Urban Design in an infill neighborhood in Brunswick, Victoria. The house “is a platform to establish a critical dialogue within our built environment; to raise questions as much as to find solutions,” according to the architects.

It's like a life-size doll house.

“The project is a critique on our cultural attitudes and how we determine them, on what we consider to be of heritage significance and how to narrate such ideas in a critical and contemporary manner.” This modern terrace house features a unique facade that can go from opaque, to translucent, to fully open to the outdoors.

What a creative design.

Smart Faucet

This is insane! Although is very cool, i think it's a little tiring to be available all the time, especially when you're bathing. But, some may choose to invest in this type of life style. Can u imagine having one of these in your home? I like how it makes the water look pink... thats pretty cool. ^_^.

"Multi-taskers: welcome to the revolutionary SmartFaucet faucet from iHouse! This incredible product seems to be straight off the Starship Enterprise - facial recognition technology recognizes every user. Once it knows you, the SmartFaucet tap will automatically turn on the water to your preferred temperature and flow. If that’s not enough for you, you can also use the touch screen to access e-mails, check the outside temperature, check your calendar, etc. So there’s no need to miss that important message when you are bathing. It seems almost churlish to mention the wonderful waterfall-style spout of the faucet – but this luxurious feature is not to be forgotten. Likewise, the chromotherapy lighting of the faucet will enhance your bathing experience everyday. Straight from high tech loft that iHouse built for the FEICON construction show in Sao Paulo, Brazil into your home – what could be better? Contact iHouse for more." -Trendir

Just gimme a few years...

...and maybe this will be my house. lol. ^_^. I love these contemporary houses. They look so cool!
This one has an "endless view of the Los Angeles city skyline which, incidentally, can be enjoyed just as much (if not, more) from the outdoor terraces encircling the building." But not surprisingly, the house is listed for sale at $15,960,000. Wow.

I think i got into house design when i started playing The Sims, which i LOVE, btw. When creating a lavish house for my socialites, i would go online to find inspiration. My favorite part of The Sims is building the houses and commercial buildings. So it's no shocker that i slightly fell in love with architectural design. I cant wait for SIMS 3!!! OMG, it's gonna be amazing! Next month, it's coming out and I'm uber excited! YAY Sims!!! ^_^.

Imagine this on ur living room floor

...I have no word except for "whoa..."

"Inspired by the male spirit, designer Rafa Garcia has come up with a stylish, innovative coffee table that is also functional in usage. The ‘Sancal Elipse’ features an upper surface that looks as if it’s levitating in the air, giving off a mystic look to the furniture. The table is created with a metal structure in F1 steel tube polished in epoxy coating, while the upper and bottom surfaces are carved out of lacquered high frequency pressed MDF (medium-density fibreboard). The ‘Sancal Elipse’ is available in two different dimensions... Available at online modern design superstore Nest."
