Natural Wood Raised Garden - More DIY How To Projects

An instructable on how to make a raised garden using only natural products from your garden. This design was the product of clearing up a garden and not wanting to dump or burn the branches. We needed to build a raised garden and had no money - so we threw a little ingenuity at the problem

Revitalise Matiatia

The Matiatia competition was a focussed design attempt to revitalize and regenerate the entrance to Waiheke Island near Auckland, New Zealand. The small island harbour is surrounded by hills and native New Zealand bush. The local ecology and landmarks formed a concept around which to base a design. The urban design strategy followed the conceptual narrative of the life and death of the Pohutukawa tree, native to the area. The shallow roots of the Pohutukawa, anchored to the rocky shore sprung to form the new flowering curves of the carpark. This symbolic link between ancient and modern, dynamic and static continued into the conceptual underpinnings of a small township, informal market, and new ferry terminus in the area.

Gingerbread Castle Architecture?

The gingerbread castle was the product of wanting to create something that could be considered magical without the hassle of cooking or baking what-so-ever. The design was stitched together from children's dreams and modelled to the most stringent standards of deliciousness. The model features frosted mouldings, candy cane window surrounds with licorice mullions. Detailing and weatherproofing is made primarily with M&M's and Mike & Ikes.
