Door Bells – Fail

In my experience door bell buttons are unreliable, so I can understand that they need to be replaced.

 

The thing is if one isn’t working then wouldn’t it be best to remove it . . . . . something that doesn’t seem to have occurred to the people at this house.

 

I had to press all three before I got the right one (the left of the two white units)

Inside or Outside Bedrooms

A colleague of mine once spent a year camping around Africa. Afterwards she said it was hard to get used to sleeping inside a house.

Perhaps she needed a house like this. . . . those box like things on the patio are movable bedrooms which can be pushed outside on pleasant nights.

If you wanted to do something like this in Australia you would need to add flyscreens!

This house was designed by the French design studio Raum (If you follow the link you will find more photographs)

Vertical Garden – Fail


I was walking along a Melbourne street the other day and saw this sad ‘Green Wall’ on the front of a building.

Someone has gone to a lot of trouble to set up this vertical garden. . . . . . its a pity they didn’t do a proper job and install a watering system!

Lot’s of little pots, and people wanting lots of foliage, that’s a recipe for very high water use

Unless each pot gets water every day any plant is going to die, so going round once or twice a week with a watering can isn’t going to do the job


That’s the problem with a lot of ‘trendy’ ideas’, look good initially . . . . but not thought through!

Stealth House ?


It’s actually known as the  ‘Black Desert House’, built in the desert near the Joshua Tree National Park in California.
The house is built around a central courtyard, which is set to a backdrop of black walls, midnight quartz, high-gloss anthracite and darkened steel.

Home Sweet Dome

Every so often some enthusiast decides to build a dome.


This one is in Kewdale West Australia.

Its an interesting idea but you would get some odd shaped rooms, and how to you install wall cupboards?

If you really fancy this type of house contact Welsh Real Estate it may still be for sale!
