86 Raglan St

86 Raglan St is for sale. There is something about the simplicity of the original brick house that appeals to me as well as the way it catches the evening light. It is one of three, though one of the houses has been painted so it is not so obvious.

Armada, 115 Nott St, 3

The newly completed Armada apartments in Nott St featured in the Age today. Architect Craig Yelland of Plus Architecture described the look of the building as 'industrial seaside aesthetic rather than the cruise ship model.' Read more of the article here. The cedar entry foyer would make returning home a pleasure - as is walking past the building. For more photographs and to find out more about the design approach, click here.

95 - 117 Dow St, Waterside

Dow St was closed to all but local traffic today as a second crane was brought in to take away the crane from Waterside - behind Bianca. Always a relief to see the crane go. Dugga Beezley's boats hang on - to the right of the truck.
