With our city now so laughably unaffordable, thousands of Vancouverites are stuck imagining wonderful homes instead of living in them. “Spaced” is a record of our minds wandering the world of architecture and design, up and away from the unrewarding realities of shoebox condos, dark basement suites, and sweet fuck all on Craigslist.

(via) We’re aware that the Australian rainforest is plenty different from our own here in BC, but that doesn’t mean we can’t appreciate the benefits of a indoor/outdoor situation like this one going down on Queensland’s Cape Tribulation inland from the Great Barrier Reef. The solar-powered Tribulation House, as it’s called, was designed by Brisbane’s M3 Architecture to blend into its ecologically sensitive surrounds (a natural clearing) on short stilts (dig how the white rope handrail on the elevated trail that leads to the house turns into a multi-functional element both inside and out). We’d take ours close to Chesterman Beach in Tofino. Photos by Peter Bennetts.
