another stolen idea
its time to have another stab at the design community.....this idea has been wrongly interpreted and appropriated from a european concept.....and we wonder why australian designers, mainly architects get little or no respect beyond our shores.

Skills shortage threatens traditional brick veneer home
THE neo-Georgian facade is becoming an endangered species. But another more fundamental change in housing is afoot. After more than half a century of dominance, the brick veneer house is under threat.
Faced with rising costs, skill shortages and the demand for more house for less money, some of Victoria's biggest project home builders are to begin building in radically different ways.
The house of the future will increasingly feature external walls made of lightweight panels, usually aerated concrete instead of brick. The frame is less likely to be made of timber than steel that has been pre-cut and assembled on site.
Interiors, too, are changing shape, with the dining room increasingly being replaced by an "alfresco" eating area, and the living room replaced by a home gym or theatre.
