looks strangely old and new at the same time. and a bit dutch again. have no idea though (as is usually the case in this thread. the core troup of players in here sure has an amazing knowledge span).

Is that a caravan in the background? Is this an ablution block at a caravan park? Got any more pictures?

I've tried, but I just can't seem to dig it up. The concrete, particularly at the corner shown, is articulated really nicely - the subtle vertical lines prevent it from being a monolith, and that big pivoting window is cool.

ok, so the twist here is that I don't actually know the answer to this one! Someone sent me the pictures, without naming the architect. The house is in Sydney.
