Designed by Multi Award winning architect Giovanni D'Ambrosio, 'Under the Moonlight' at Dinner Plain Village, Mt Hotham, is one of the most dramatic and cutting-edge alpine homes ever constructed in Australia.
The home was based on century old huts that appear in the region. A key feature in these and 'Under the Moonlight' is the use of natural materials like stone and wood. He has also used glass extensively throughout the home affording the occupants breathtaking views of the surrounding bush land and through the valley.
"This is the idea I wanted to base the project upon: to treat interior and external spaces as if they were the same [thing]" says Architect Giovanni D'Ambrosio
With a 5-star energy efficiency rating, the building comprises 3 bedrooms, including a master bedroom with an expansive ensuite and spa, designer kitchen, Baumatic stainless steel kitchen appliances, electric heating and hot water, electric built in log fire, double glazed windows, drying room and ski storage, 2 sheltered car spaces and garbage enclosure.

SANCTUARY COVE
SOLD TO HONG KONG BUYER FOR $7.2M
An unknown Hong Kong businessman, seemingly unaffected by the GFC, has splurged a record $7.2 million on a slice of rare Sanctuary Cove land.
Although a long way off the $20 million a Mermaid Beach property sold for 2 years ago, it is believed to be one of the most expensive blocks sold on the Gold Coast and a massive confidence boost for the market in general.
The spectacular 4014sqm waterfront 'super-block', which had been for sale for more than two years, has 120m of waterfront and is the largest of its kind within the tight-knit community.
