Architecture

Do any of you here have some recs for vernacular architecture?

I'm a big fan of using google maps or google earth to "roam" ordinary streets in different countries to see what's going on, but I imagine that's very trial and error and maybe I'm missing out on some awesome stuff.

A commitment to principled repair and retention shaped the subtle but serious adaptive reuse of this historic Melbourne terrace.

Love the natural light and windows at this place. The light timber walls, the pool - so much to love about this one

Love the use of light wood in the kitchen, living area of this house

Love the huge, arched glass window on this
