When Japanese people create innovations in dark kitchen designs, Aussies go in different direction. Their HIA Australian Award 2008 showed not only big bathroom design trends but also trend in kitchen designing. The trend is white kitchen cabinets and furniture. Mostly glossy white. Although it isn’t as new it mostly was used in modern house designs and mostly combined with black color. But Australian designers began to use it with neutral colored walls and wooden floors. Because of floors such kitchens loose in contemporaneity but win in naturalistic. Suck kitchens won both kitchen project of the year and kitchen designer of the year awards.
As I more like contemporary design style I prefer more cold combination with white color. Although for people who want make their kitchen as naturalistic as contemporary such kitchen design trend could be useful.

Klein Bottle Holiday House by Rob McBride
The winner of the 2008 Australian Institute of Architects Robin Boyd Award for Residential Architecture, the Klein Bottle House is a holiday house located on the Mornington Peninsula. The place is approximately an hour’s drive from Melbourne. The unusual home design is generated from a mathematical model. The “Klein Bottle” in mathematics is a non-orientable surface (a surface with no distinction between the “inside” and “outside”). The house revolves around a central courtyard, a grand regal stair connecting all the levels. The carefully sculpted, angled space of the living area is both a revelation and a delight. Being experimental gives house a bit futuristic look. Red colored interior spaces and contemporary furniture just makes that look stronger.
As noted by the National Architecture Awards jury “the overall perception of the house is one of a distinctive new language for domestic architecture, a language that draws from mathematics to develop an architecture of excitement, intrigue and new possibilities.”

Many of us could think that if you have a place and money for a big bathroom than you have nothing to worry about. Although if everything is big that you expectation are so too.
Just recently HIA Australian Award 2008 took place. Bubbles Bathrooms won both Bathroom Project of the Year and Bathroom Designer of the Year. Both their projects are very big bathrooms with a lot of things inside. Lets take a look at them.
Both bathrooms made in similar light beige and brown colors although materials are completely different. Comfortable morning for two people is possible with two bowls in each of them. Big bathroom is a possibility to relax in the very big tube in the middle of it while watching the tv or checking out fire in the fireplace. Although when there aren’t time for relaxing showers could be the fast way to refresh.
As you can see, big bathrooms have a lot in common nowadays. Although as people differs such bathrooms could be different to suite them. Somebody need more contemporary look others more Victorian but luxury and style are what everybody wants to see in a big bathroom.

House entry could tell a lot about the house itself. Beautiful house exterior and entrance could make coming home one of the best things during the day. Townsend + Associates Architects managed to design great and conceptual house entrance in the Australia. It helps to capture garden views and light and made of modest materials and built elements. The sculptural “z form” roof of the entrance acknowledges existing adjacent built forms. It is articulated over steel beams running parallel with the house and the plywood soffit provides a warm honey glow. Because owners of the house are landscape decorators, such entrance combined with garden make overall house exterior looks very warm and beautiful. [Townsend + Associates Architects]
