About 3 years ago I posted on ‘Why Separate Toilets? ‘ but I know a lot of you don’t agree me. . . . . . So what do you think of this Bathroom?
Would you be happy sitting in the arm chair while someone is on the toilet!

For all you water collecting enthusiasts can you beat this home?
Two sides of the house are lined with plastic rainwater tanks!
Not surprisingly its called the ‘Tank House’ and is located in Port Melbourne.
Although there are a considerable number of tanks that are plumbed for water storage there are some ‘dummy tanks!
The Photo on the left shows the kitchen window and the one on the right shows the ‘Gate’ complete with letter box.
You should also be able to see some tanks with the tops cut off used as planters around the roof top area.
Here is an interesting ‘Castle’ in Perth.
It seems a bit of a mixed architecture with a Gothic Castle Tower added to what looks to be a Roman Style Villa.
Although its not to my taste, one of the things I like about Australian Planning is it does allow people to put up different houses like this.
Thanks to SaveH2o for spotting this one!
I recently spotted this interesting fence on my travels.
No it’s not the Tooth Fairy, but it is a dentist in Aspendale Gardens, a suburb of Melbourne.
Definitely a Win for an eye catching way of advertising his practice!
If you have seen an interesting, or strange, house let me know and we can feature it.
Yes you saw it right! 
This price of the home theatre is $6,000,000! The rest of the house is extra!
The sound system includes 72 speakers each powered by its own $8,000 analogue amplifier paired with a $18,000 digital amplifier.
To deliver the 150,000watts of amplification means the room requires its own power supply from the mains including a separate transformer.

I have previously talked about Good Orientation and Window Size in this Blog.
It’s not as though this sort of information is secret knowledge. . . . . I would have thought all architects would be aware of the importance of these sort of issues.
So I wonder why this custom designed, suburban house in Melbourne has this huge South facing window.
Here is why I think it’s a fail:
Just in case you thought the purpose of the window was to take in a magnificent aspect . . . . . here is the view!
Nothing exceptional?
If you don’t believe me check out 368 W 2nd St, Dixon, Illinois (it’s actually a ‘House of God’)
Here is one of the most photographed houses in Victoria, ‘The Pole House’ at Fairhaven, near Lorne.
Lots of people love it.
A lovely stretch of natural coastline and someone puts up this concrete pimple to spoil everyone else’s view so they can marginally improve their own view.
Its not as though they made any great effort at architectural merit, a very plain, minimal cost ‘pole’ and an unexceptional looking house on the top.

What do you think about this Alien / Predator themed Theatre Room?
and this Attic Music Room that looks like the deck of a Starship?
All hidden in the ordinary looking Swedish House.
Could be yours for under $400,000..

Thanks to ‘SaveH2O’ for the tip about this house.
If you see an unusual house why not let me know, and we can let others marvel at what some people build.
I think this is the Creepiest looking new house I have seen.
The combination of Victorian Gothic Features, and a block well above the road level, don’t go very well together.
When I saw it my first thought was ‘The Adams Family House’!
