Stalking a suburban&tardis
Hi Stacey, My Honey and I have a little house like this in Melbourne, Australia. It's small but on a long yet very narrow lot (think shot-gun house).

I don't think I would go quite as modern, but it's nice to see what I can do with the house. Martini

Design Seeds®: For All Who Love Color #ededed #e8dcca #b08a61 #66503c #6b636a #aba2a4 The case for re-naming the human race It is time the human race had a new name. The old one, Homo sapiens – wise or thinking man – has been around since 1758 and is no longer a fitting description for the creature we have become. When the Swedish father of taxonomy Carl Linnaeus first bestowed iti , humanity no doubt seemed wise when compared with what scientists of the day knew about both humans and other animals. We have since learned our behaviour is not as wise as we like to imagine – while some animals are quite intelligent. In short it is a name which is both inaccurate and which promotes a dangerous self-delusion.

It does take a bit more effort on the front end, but it's definitely not rocket science. This architecture by Guz Architects is a wonderfully developed minimalistic design with a curvilinear flare that really brings out the organic coverings. I'm most impressed with how design facilitates the needs of the plants and shrubs located throughout the house. See more at Guz Architects
