Nestled in the hill of Apollo Bay in Australia is this gem by Rob Kennon Architects. Steel beams and timber gently dominate the exterior design, topped off with a metal roof.  The view of the bay stretches across the entire structure lined with floor to ceiling windows.  A distinctive stove props itself right in the center of the living space for those chilly nights.  The rear of the home backs up to rolling hills, still a gorgeous view.  All the bedrooms, furnished in peaceful white, have the wall of windows as well.  No matter where you are in the house it gives the feeling that you are surrounded by nature though in the comforts of home.

I find a way to fearlessly provoke your senses and take you by the heart to whatever it is I’m writing about. My sweet spot is creative writing, but for the last 20 years I have been providing freelance content for publications on sustainability and green practices, design, architecture, fashion, and non-profit charity. Recently all wrapped up in producing my first book. I have bounced from NYC to Indianapolis, but my true home is a lovely small town in Central Pennsylvania where there’s a legit drive-your-tractor-to-school-day.
