Olé! A new Spanish-inspired bar is coming to Perth's north
Plus what's on this weekend and more.
Given the weather of late, the awesome home we’ve featured below designed by architect Matt Delroy-Carr feels particularly prescient. What I wouldn’t give for some passive solar design as I tap away on my hot little keyboard sitting in a sweatbox whose lounge room windows stare more longingly at the setting sun than your humble scribe will be at an ice cold beer later today…
Anyway hope you’re staying cool and drinking plenty of water!

HOMES
While maximising the surrounding garden, the home’s orientation and window placements are all optimised for ideal passive solar design: shaded during summer, but allowing winter sunlight to gently warm heavy masonry walls in cooler months.

WHAT’S ON
It’s another cool change this weekend (you know, 32 instead of 42), so if you’re feeling game there’s a bit on around the place. The Year of the Snake is officially off and slithering, there’s plenty of night markets to visit and loads more:
