Courtyard House by Rowan Opat

On my recent trip to Melbourne, Australia, I did manage to get out of the city for one day. I zipped down to the Mornington Peninsula to visit a couple wineries, and also to see the Courtyard House, a three-year-old design by Melbournian architect Rowan Opat.

Pulled far back from the house you can see how the vault of the living room really opens up to the landscape. I'd bet this photo was taken from an oval of grass in the garden (Australian Rules Football demands to be played in an oval), and gives a pretty clear view of how expansive it feels inside.
