COURTESY OF JONES

YELLOWTRACE

I

’ve lived in apartments my entire life. Call me crazy (don’t worry, you won’t be the first), but I absolutely love living in a densely populated urban area, and the social nature of apartment living suits me to a tee.

Having said that, I’ve been developing an unhealthy obsession with extraordinary homes that sit at the exact opposite end of the spectrum – houses that are more often than not found in remote locations. And not only that, I’m talking about the kinds of homes that are built to completely appreciate nature, and also to occupy it. Houses built into rocks, around trees and generally entirely embedded in the landscape.

These seriously incredible examples of residential architecture not only address their context, and interact with their surroundings, the sites they occupy form the critical ingredient that architects have used in the overall design.

These homes are the architectural equivalent of Michelangelo-like creations, with rocks, trees, hills, water and caves becoming the material from which the buildings take shape.

Not only do these stunning homes have a special relationship with nature, they are also built into the very landscape they occupy.

These houses integrate seamlessly into their surroundings, whether they’re built into rocks, buried under hills, nestled in caves, or perched on sea cliffs.

Try as we might, we humans can never compete with the beauty of the natural world.

Mother nature is the ultimate designer, and many visionary and brave architects have embraced her work in their own creations – by embedding her into their projects.

Perhaps no one has done this better than America’s most famous architect, Frank Lloyd Wright. His masterpiece Fallingwater in rural south-western Pennsylvania, outside Pittsburgh, is well known for its connection to the landscape, built on top of a waterfall that flows beneath the house. “Organic architecture” is the term Frank Lloyd Wright used to describe his environmentally integrated approach to architectural design. His philosophy grew from

of Spain’s Sierra Morena mountain range.

DWIGHT ESCHLIMAN

MARC GOODWIN

the ideas of his mentor, Louis Sullivan, who believed that “form follows function”. Wright took this theory a step further, arguing that “form and function are one”.

Organic architecture strives to unify space, to blend interiors and exteriors, and create a harmonious built environment, not separate from nature but a unified whole. The idea refers not only to a building’s relationship with its natural surroundings but how the building’s design is carefully thought about as if it were a unified organism.

I’m sure you will agree that perhaps there’s nothing more organic than a home that blends flawlessly with its environment – or better still, is actually built into nature. So, if you are like me, and feel you ought to be consuming more organic in your life, perhaps organic architecture is the perfect place to start. I just have to break it to my husband we’ll be swapping our city pad for somewhere more remote. And probably a lot more expensive.

Wish me luck.

ime-saving devices – like a fridge so amazing you don’t need to cover food before you put it on a shelf – are promoted on the basis that we’re all so busy these days that we need to save all the time we can. But really what’s great about a Sub Zero – “the Rolls-Royce of fridges” – is that it allows us to be just a little bit lazy.

According to Bruce Cranston, a product expert at Winning Appliances in Sydney, you will also actually save money by buying a super-expensive fridge like the Sub Zero (prices start at $18,000 for a basic model and rise to $45,000 for a barn door-sized whopper).

“It’s all about food preservation,’’ he says. ‘‘The air is so stable you’re not having to throw food out so much. You know when the ice-cream goes icy on top? That won’t happen in this fridge, because there’s no moisture in the air.

It’s also great for a holiday house, he adds, because food won’t spoil from weekend to weekend. “You can put food straight in and not cover it, unless it’s going to be over two weeks.”

Can you imagine the bliss of never having to unpick a roll of sticky cling film again?

Sub Zero fridges use a filter developed by NASA that cleans the inside air every 20 minutes, absorbing odours, bacteria and the ethylene given off by fruit and vegetables.

And, while most fridges have one compressor diverting air between your fridge and freezer cabinets, Sub Zero has “two of everything”. Just as importantly, they come with hefty doors that would feel at home on a Bentley. “[Architect] Frank Lloyd Wright wanted better-looking fridges for his kitchens, so he commissioned Sub Zero equipment for his homes,” Cranston says. “They really do have a classic look that goes back decades.”

Customers who buy a Sub Zero ‘‘want the best’’, Cranston says, or perhaps do a lot of entertaining. “Of course, we do get some people who come in and say, ‘I’ve just been to my neighbour’s house and they’ve bought this amazing fridge. How much is it for one that’s slightly bigger and better than theirs?’ ”

For sale Agent: Tom Offermann Real Estate, Nic Hunter 0421 785 512 This Sunshine Beach property is an entertainer’s dream, with an open-plan chef’s kitchen, white Corian bench tops and lots of storage. The stark white ambience of the house would also nicely complement your super-cool Sub Zero fridge.
