Inside a Japanese-Inspired Home in Nature (House Tour)
Yukari House is a Japanese-inspired home in nature that develops relationships between residents, their home and the surrounding environment. While reimagining an existing structure, Tanev Muir Architects emphasises the day-to-day rituals that determine the character of a space. Located at the end of a leafy street in Byron Bay, the Japanese-inspired home in nature adjoins the Arakwal National Park. “The park feels ancient when you look at it; it’s full of life and birds and wallabies pass through. It is a very special place and it requires a reflective space,” says Laura Muirhead, architect at Tanev Muir Architects. The design firm encourages reflection by crafting nuanced rooms that allow residents to linger in the moments between activities. “The philosophy of the project balances between shadow and light,” says Peter Tanevski, architect at Tanev Muir Architects. “It can’t easily be characterised as a space that is modernist, open plan and has nowhere to hide, and at the same time it can’t be characterised as being cavernous.” Expressing a measured approach to interiors, Yukari House is a Japanese-inspired home in nature that comprises a series of rooms both connected and partitioned using joinery. “Rather than open or closed, on or off, we wanted the joinery and the partitions in Yukari House to have a constantly active state,” says Tanevski. In the main living area, the television is concealed inside a timber cabinet with a sliding door, highlighting the movement between conditions as a valuable part of life. Elsewhere, an automated composite glazing system – in which a blind can drop to mitigate heat in summer – features internal timber reveals. “The kitchen was the most important aspect to our client,” says Muirhead. “We moved the kitchen to the centre of the home; this was integral to its new role housing a space for collaboration, coming together and cooking shared meals.” To enable the clients to face their guests while cooking, a fine, spotted gum table is slotted directly into a monolithic stone island. Positioned in the centre of the space at bar level, the table not only accommodates seated dinners but allows the greatest number of people to circulate the kitchen-dining area. Throughout the Japanese-inspired home in nature, considered materials and forms are used to enhance spatial function. In the reconfigured bathroom, a modest, rectangular bathtub contributes to a calming environment that speaks to the Japanese concept of bathing. In Japan, completing the bathing ritual can achieve both physical cleanliness and spiritual rejuvenation, and to this end, the Yukari House bathroom is serene. A semi-extruded, stainless-steel basin evoking the image of Kiyomasa’s Well reinforces the Japanese character of the space. Outside, a circular bathtub echoes the curves found in nature and, with a view of the treetops, offers a more open bathing experience. “I think Australian architecture is changing from a quantitative space – where we talk about the amount of things that are in a house – and we’re shifting to a dialogue which celebrates the qualities and emotional capacity of architecture and space,” says Tanevski of the Japanese-inspired home in nature. “I hope this house is part of that lasting legacy and is a contributor to that change.” 00:00 - Introduction to the Japanese-inspired Home 00:44 - The Philosophy of the Project 01:38 - A Walkthrough of the home 02:36 - Key Design Aspects and Details 04:42 - The Ritualistic Nature of Bathing 05:35 - Incorporating Japanese Culture 06:04 - Creating a lasting legacy For more from The Local Project: Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/thelocalproject/ Website – https://thelocalproject.com.au/ LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-local-project-publication/ Print Publication – https://thelocalproject.com.au/publication/ Hardcover Book – https://thelocalproject.com.au/book/ The Local Project Marketplace – https://thelocalproject.com.au/marketplace/ For more from The Local Production: Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/thelocalproduction_/ Website – https://thelocalproduction.com.au/ LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/company/thelocalproduction/ To subscribe to The Local Project's tri-annual print publication see here – https://thelocalproject.com.au/subscribe/ Photography by Aaron Chapman.

A Maori Family like no Other | SLICE
A film about a family. Mum, dad, six kids and 50 wild horses, a beach, a mountain and a burnt down house. Against the stunning beauty of New Zealand's rugged Ruahine Mountains, Peter Karena and his wife Colleen struggle to instill in their kids the values of independence, courage and happiness. The family has little in the way of material possession but they possess a physicality most of us can only dream of. The children ride bareback as they hunt and play in the wild. Unafraid and untamed, they are supremely confident, as if risk is an alien concept.

The 10 Greatest Dog Breeds For Your Lifestyle
🔥 Check out more videos: @ViralBe Nowadays, it is very difficult to find a good friend. A friend whom you can trust, feel safe with, and who will be loyal to you in any situation or phase of life you are going through. This might not be surprising, as life is a struggle for survival, and people have been shaped over thousands of years to survive in any event or situation. However, fortunately for us, we have a guaranteed friend, and that is the dog. Ever since humans and wolves somehow found peace in the struggle for food, they became our right hand. Since then, they have not only aided in our development but have remained our most loyal friends, surpassing even humans themselves. An old Albanian saying goes, "A good friend is worth more than a sack of gold." And I say that having a dog as a friend is worth more than two sacks of gold. The purpose of this video is not to push you to buy or adopt a dog. But if you are a dog lover and want to find your ideal friend, not just for their loyalty, as all breeds are loyal, but to match your lifestyle, whether you already have one or want to create one. So, for this episode, I have listed 10 breeds with different characteristics that have the greatest potential to fit well with various lifestyles.
