Quirky Westgarth Hall

This is Westgarth Hall in Australia photographed by the fantastic photographer <a href="http://www.seanfennessy.com.au/" target="_blank">Sean Fennessy</a> (I've just been looking through his varied <a href="http://www.seanfennessy.com.au/design" target="_blank">portfolio</a>, and was excited to see many of images are for sale as limited edition prints.  I see a possible present idea for my birthday boy....). This very cool home owned by <a href="http://www.alpha60.com.au/" target="_blank">Alpha 60</a> founders Alex and Georgie Cleary has a few quirky surprises up it's sleeve....spot the piano anyone?!<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

A sustainable Finnish cabin

Yesterday it was so stormy here in Southern Sweden. I nipped around the corner for a coffee and the sea was full of white horses. It was all very exciting! A winter storm calls for a home at one with nature. And this Finnish retreat certainly fits the bill. I have seen the first picture so many times on <a href="http://pinterest.com/nikiatmsh/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a>, but never the rest of the home. So here it is, the sustainable Four Cornered House in Virrat, Finland designed by Anu Puustinen and Ville Hara, Avanto Archtiects. <br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhynhQDekrW_apDHZqV_Zd_Nmy_EMCLJwSRsHkrKK6hrcG1f-39Tm7xjmTbabua_w2npaQY3f1CHKVuMNDc1lBJ_swKABgwzrGtaJAV7Efa-oZYj9id05bCbcwe3BoLq481AYKXbX4N8x0/s1600/corner.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;
