Thanks guys!! Yes, treehouse would be awesome, and the outdoor terrace is wonderful. We will most likely screen it in so we can open up the kitchen in the fall and spring without bugs.

It will take some getting used to, but we agreed that we liked the idea of a smaller hone we could really make pop quickly  - as opposed to something towards the end of our budget that we would have to very slowly update.

@Finn666 here are a few more from Delft.

I used to really like this house when I lived in Delft. The glass box is an extension to one of the neighbouring houses, I think the red brick place. I've got a feeling it was pretty controversial when it went up. (There are more details on the Cepezed website.)

Another view of the restaurant extension in my previous post.

One of my favourite Melbourne architects is Foo-Ling Khoo of OOF! Architecture. The Acute House and Hello House blend older structures with contemporary additions.

The site for the Acute House was up for sale a year or two before I moved to Melbourne, and was pretty reasonable compared with prices now. I should have bought it!

Andrew Maynard Architects seem to win a lot of awards, and I love the Tower House. It's an extension that was conceived as a collection of small, interlinked structures, rather than a big box.

Kavellaris Urban Design (KUD) have done a few interesting projects too. I nearly rented an apartment in the 2 Girls Building.

And the Perforated House is really cool.

@Appfaff I like the new place. Good luck with the move!

[Appfaff]

Thanks @Graeme - we are very excited for the change

Sweet houses and house projects to every one of you. Congratulations!

I took a wander around some of the vintage furniture shops in Melbourne yesterday looking for a new bed. But I did see a few interesting pieces.

This is the Stem dining suite, designed by Grant Featherston, an important Australian designer. You can read more about it here and here. I'm tempted, though it needs some restoration work.

B&B Bambole suite. For sale here.

Cassina Soriana sofa. For sale here. There was also a matching pair of chairs.

I'm shopping for a new bed, and I've seen a few places selling what look to be over-engineered sleep systems, or Schlafsysteme since they all seem to originate from Austria, Germany, and Switzerland.

This one is by Hüsler Nest, but I've seen similar from Samina, LaModula, Dormiente, and ProNatura.

From top to bottom you have a mattress topper, latex mattress, wood and latex slats, and then a supporting frame.

Has anyone got any experience of these? Are they better than a standard mattress and base?

I have a foam mattress plus wooden slats.  I find them more durable and robust than the box spring beds that are popular in America.  I've had mine for 8 years and there is no degrading of the mattress or bed.

The only disadvantage is that you can't jump on the bed 

[Graeme]

I'm currently looking at latex mattresses, which are similar to the foam ones. I'm used to slats, less so with box springs.

Actually my current mattress is stuffed with wool. Unfortunately it's got mould into it, and I need to replace it.

Bad courses not taken out yet….

Continuing progress- the exterior is relatively close to completion at this point.

The interior is significantly less so.

Looks like it’s going to be super clean. I especially like the huge sliding glass doors. Very jealous, esp since we just cancelled our addition
