Cliff House concept by Modscape

Living on the edge has never been so close until we found this Cliff House concept designed by Australian architects at Modscape

From the website: "A five storey modular home clings to the side of a cliff in this conceptual design by Modscape. The Cliff House is a design response for Emma and David, a couple who approached Modscape to explore design options for a holiday home on an extreme parcel of land they own on the south-west coast of Victoria. Inspired by the way barnacles cling to the hull of a ship, a concept was developed for a modular home to hang off the side of a cliff as opposed to sitting on top of it. The home is visualised as a natural extension of the cliff face rather than an addition to the landscape, creating an absolute connection with the ocean. As the design itself would make conventional construction prohibitive, the concept utilises Modscape’s modular design and prefabrication technologies to deliver a series of stacked modules that are anchored into the cliff face using engineered steel pins. Entry to the home is through a carport on the top floor, where a lift vertically connects you through each of the descending living spaces. Internally, the living spaces feature minimalistic furnishings to ensure that the transcendent views of the ocean and the unique spatial experience of the location remain the integral focal point of the design."

Laura Eddy

These extraordinary drawings are by Australian artist Laura Eddy, who renders celebrities and models like Dita Von Teese and Cara Delevingne in painstaking pencil work. Her imagery is full of skeletons, ice cream cones and confetti which adds a playful, feminine side to her art. One marvels at the time spent creating these wonders. via

The Town Mouse branding by A Friend Of Mine

"The Town Mouse is a new Melbourne-based bar and restaurant owned by Christian McCabe and located in the space formerly occupied by the Embrasse Restaurant. Developed by A Friend Of Mine, the bar’s visual identity delivers impact through the ‘big city’ and slightly retrospective dimensionality of tall, slim, skyscraper-like, uppercase characters of the logo-type set within and alongside the grids of the collateral."

Photography by Lisa Tomasetti

Australian photographer Lisa Tomasetti has worked as a visual artist and film stills photographer for the past 23 years. Her eye for cinematic drama comes through in her dance photography, a collection of images in which she is able to capture the beautiful elegance of ballet dancers set against the more rough, gritty urban city streets of Paris, Tokyo, and New York. via

Facebook for designers

If you ask good user interface designer to come up with perfect layout for social network he will bury you under the tons of paper research and can eventually kill the idea. But if you ask bright UI designer to do the task he will get back to you with the Facebook he dreamed about for years. That what happened to Fred Nerby from Brisbane. He presents a conceptional and systematic design approach encouraging user behaviour and a greater control of data within a responsive grid.If this guy won't work for Facebook in a month than Zuckerberg does not exist.
