Australia (& New Zealand) taking a bizarre disdain for medium density housing to the limits by creating unliveable but socially valuable stand alone houses with poor infrastructure and transport networks for all eternity
None of the benefits of the suburbs (ie a garden) with all the disbenefits
For goodness sake can we just build some damn terraced housing in Australia please?

A favourite outtake from shooting House at Sailors Grave earlier this year - the light picking out steam, beans and brass like a Caravaggio painting. Sometimes all the best architecture does is form a background; a canvas for life.
