Photography by Mochatini

A belated Happy New Years to everyone! (I know its January 3rd already and I’m off to a bad new year’s start!)

However, I thought I’d redeem myself by sharing with you some of the photography by one of my favourite bloggers, Manvi of Mochatini.

‘Hello Monday’ is a series of posts in which Manvi shares inspiring images with her readers featuring a short note and a beautiful image of her either her own or one found on the web.
(Though, I’ll be honest, it’s pretty good most days.)

So come Monday, make sure you check into mochatini.org

You won’t be disappointed.

Amazing Perforated Exterior

KUD perforated House

An amazing spin on the classic Victorian inner Melbourne Terrace by KUD architects

This would have to be one of my favourite exteriors of 2009 –

“To us, this project is a platform to establish a critical dialogue within our built environment; to raise questions as much as to find solutions. The project is a critique on our cultural attitudes and how we determine them, on what we consider to be of heritage significance and how to narrate such ideas in a critical and contemporary manner.”

Love it..

You can follow an interesting conversation regarding the perforated house via contemporist along with some more amazing images.

Creatively recycled cardboard store hits Melbourne CBD

Melbourne based boutique Lulamae has teamed with Breath Architecture to bring to the streets of cultural Melbourne this entirely recycled “pop-up shop” in Melbourne Central.

The installation/store can be assembled in just one day and can be flat packed once its reached its 2 month expiry, bringing to the commercial Melbourne central a glimpse of street vendor chic.

The store is now 1 day old and you can check it out at Melbourne Central for the next two months.
