Mihaly Slocombe Architects had a ‘fun’ brief – this is for our grandkids, an interesting brief! The outside design is reminiscent of a treehouse and when no one is in the space the whole building can be closed up and could like a shed (a very decorated shed) to an onlooker, something that is not inhabitable. They describe Kids Pod as their most experimental project where external screens act as shutters over the windows.
Lindsay Douglas of DIG Design created a unique home with a simple box form with curved features. The veranda was a focal point to the design with curved walls which soften the edges. A cavity sliding door fits neatly into the space making it appear larger than it actually is.

Victoria Reeves of Kennedy Nolan Architects tried to achieve a scale that you wouldn’t normally see in a domestic building – to bring a simplicity and abstractness to the project.

Craig Eyles discusses how with large stacking sliding doors you need a large screen to pair with it, when you get up to 6 storeys, you have the high winds that can pull and bend a screen out of shape. AWS went away and redesigned a door to get the screens to slide internally and not compromise the performance of the door.
Wabi-sabi – a Japanese worldview centred on the acceptance of transience and imperfection – and the underlying philosophy behind this intimate and elegant Noosa home.
