The Richmond Fire Station Horse Stables in Melbourne, Australia have been transformed into a striking modern dwelling dubbed The Stable in a remarkable example of adaptive reuse. The red brick single-story building has been preserved as the core of an entirely new architectural experience - within its walls a three-story angular home rises up to capture daylight and views while providing a contemporary 3 bedroom retreat near downtown.
I’d love to know who the architects are… any ideas dear readers?

Recently I wrote a blog entry offering a leftist critique of the ideology of “Green” environmentalism, eco-friendliness, and lifestyle politics in general (veganism, “dumpster diving,” “buying organic,” etc.). I’d be interested to hear your thoughts on the matter and any responses you might have to its criticisms. I’d be especially interested, considering that the majority of my blog is about architecture, particularly modernist architecture, which sought to radically transform nature rather than have as little impact as possible on it.
