Windows are the new walls.

Oliver's trip to Austria and Germany last month was all about architecture (more than snowboarding - or so he tells us)! Looking at the new portfolio it's obvious that reflections, seriously caught his eye.

It all began with Watergate in the new Dockland's precinct (Melbourne), where he captured the 'sun setting in the balconies'.

Now again in Europe, he photographed the landscape seamlessly blending into the building's exterior. It does seem that a number of new developments are using glass (and mirrored materials) more than before. Gone are the times of peering through small windows, and being surrounded by four walls. It seems now, windows are walls.

Do you think this new design concept would be equally popular for residential developments, or really is suitable only for the business world?
