Letter Box House, Melbourne

At first, this house might looks like a wood boat coming out from a making of a war movie. From the street the house’s irregular form reveals nothing of what unfolds once within the property. At a closer look, the façade consists solely of a mailbox. According to the design team at McBride Charles Ryan the openness of a holiday house in a beach community renders the front door arbitrary. The house is certainly not an obstruction built within the community. Instead, it’s modest irregularity opens up into an impressive four-bedroom beach verandah. Bold blacks and whites sit on top of the stained hardwood floors, which run the length of the house. A dramatic red support structure, the most striking interior feature, draws the divide between inside and out.

ECO WOOD

Inspired by the free flowing form of water, and constructed from eco friendly woods from Ecuador, the new 'sande' series from designer David Brunicardi is both earthy and slick in its appearance. The range includes the wave coffee table, the mag bench and the sande side table. Fluid form is consistent throughout the range and the wood used is positively beautiful. This is as fine as furniture gets in terms of simplicity and materials used.
