Apple Bay House.

Architects: Parsonson Architects Ltd
Location: Apple Bay, , New Zealand

We intended to create a delicate platform amongst trees for life to unfold. The house is in two parts, each with a fine roof that follows the slope of the land. The upstairs living areas are configured as a large elongated space with decks at each end to enjoy both the morning and afternoon sun and with retreat and service spaces serving these. Downstairs bedrooms float amongst the trees with windows opening across the tree tops. The gap and junction between the two building parts is a continuation of the path up from the boat house. via

JURYRAPPORT - The Invisible Bridge.

Surprisingly, if you submerge the vast majority of the structure under water, allowing pedestrians to effectively travel between the waves, it makes the whole experience of using a bridge much more exciting.

Black water as it's called contains Fulvic Acid, a naturally occurring substance found in prehistoric plant matter. Blk.'s organic proprietary formula of Humic and Fulvic Acid is naturally black. When combined with pure Canadian Spring Water, the blend binds to the water molecules giving Blk. its signature black color, and a slight metallic taste. With a PH of 9+ Blk. helps to balance your natural PH levels making your body less acidic. Blk is also pure with no dyes, artificial flavours, sugars and it has zero calories.
