Don't ask what the
world needs.
Ask what makes you
come alive, and go do it.
Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.

- H. Thurman

Clean lines and warmth

I absolutely love clean lines in a home, but far too often that comes at the expense of warmth in the home. Here is a great example that you really can have it all. It just requires a little bit of creativity and voila! Even in a hallway and staircase, beauty can be found.

Drool worthy

What do you get when you mix modern Australian architecture + coastal living?

Heaven.

Stanwell Park Beach House

Images & design by Casey Brown Architecture - Published in Modern Architecture | Coastal Homes

"This modern holiday home, designed for both entertaining and family vacations, consists of three attached pavilions in local stone, timber and copper, overlooking Australia’s Stanwell Park beach and the Pacific Ocean. 
Situated on a steep site, the building features separate levels and a series of decks, allowing external, yet private, living spaces.
...carefully planned, the different levels also allow a number of families to comfortably enjoy their vacation together."
