Seasons Greetings
As I am a big supporter of low energy housing I am not a big fan of setting up a huge Christmas lights display liike the house on the right
I much prefer the minimum effort display of the house on the left.
This photo is from the MinionsQuotes facebook page
I wish all visitors to ANEWHOUSE a Peaceful Christmas and a Happy House Building New Year

3D Printed House
Apparently there is a 3Dprinter that can build the walls of a house in a day for $4,000.
I saw this @ www.FastCompany.com
Before you get too excited about the cost. . . . that is for a very basic house in a developing country not a 200m2 typical Australian house.
Having seen what earthquakes do to unreinforced houses in Indonesia There are some countries where this might not be a good Idea

A Lithuania building company has been building some of the world’s most unusual apartments.
You’ll can choose between studio size, or one bedrooms, that come with laundry, and optional “rolling”.

For All Wall Fixing Enthusiasts
This is art!
Well I saw it in the Christchurch Art Gallery so it must be art!
It looks like 3 wall plugs with a screw in the one on the left. . . . . but lets hear what the Art Gallery says;
Things aren’t always quite what they seem. Susan Collis creates small, subversive rips in the institutional façade, offering unexpected payoffs for close attention.
Here, faced with a bare wall punctured by three rawlplugs and a single screw, her triumphant title is strangely incongruous.
Was a work left in storage by mistake? . . . Removed for repairs? . . . Stolen?
In fact, what looks accidental, even shoddy, is carefully calculated – those unsightly plugs contain delicate turquoise inlays, while the ‘forgotten’ screw is cast in 18-carat white gold, set with a sparkling white sapphire.
It’s an elegant ruse, honouring the messy, essential work that goes on behind the scenes to keep the illusion of the Gallery’s white cube intact and also reminding us that what we value often depends entirely on perspective.
Size isn’t everything, and treasure can be found in unexpected places.

Music In The Rain?
Not this apartment block in the German City of Dresden.
I’m not sure if you get a great note out of that trumpet, but the whole thing looks spectacular.
The building is called the ‘Court of Water” and was designed by Heike Bottcher in 1999 for Dresden’s Kunsthof Passage farm collective.
