Building Churn (+ Burrrpppp)

It doesn't get more obvious than this! Thankfully there are plenty of advocates and a lot of real data teaching 'us' that Building Churn is a bad (not Michael Jackson style 'bad' - unsustainable!) concept!

There is (on the less serious side of the issue) something still quite humurous about this image though - I would have loved to see the demolition drawing, maybe noted like this?.... "remove window, cut wall to floor and push the whole interior fitout through the window"

ANOTHER WHITE GEM!

Happy Haus
WHITE SERIES

Owen+Vokes

You could glance at this first image and briefly mistake it for a house in a 'suburban setting' - oh how nice it would be to have no fences? - anyway on closer review you'll notice it's a/the White Series Happy Haus by architects Owen and Vokes, located in southbank, corner grey and tribune streets.

So what's a Happy Haus?? Here is some recent press that best describes what it's all about... GREEN MAGAZINE article

Gardens and water storage have also been considered (pineapples in the garden look tasty, give them a few weeks and they be ready for picking)

it's great to see an example of (prefab) sustainable architecture pop up in the flesh - a positive step towards educating the general public!
