Canadian winters sure are pretty.

EDIT: So apparently Family guy already made this joke…

The music GIFs him the energy.

Australian firm BKK Architects designed the Beached House on the coast of Victoria, Australia. The home is a study in leaving everything behind in the city to arrive in a nature-surrounded vacation home that appears to have evolved over time. Inside the home, the spaces unfold as you move through and then “release views.”

You kind of get the feeling that the house has washed ashore, which was intentional, because of the way it’s embedded into the site.

The residence consists of irregular spaces that, much like origami, fold over each other, forming a layout similar to that of a small village.

The external spaces were oriented with careful consideration to the wind and sun patterns that shift throughout the day.

From the architects:

This home offers various readings and differing options for occupation to the owners. It is intended that living in the house will be an unfolding series of moments, linked closely to climate and site that will continually delight and surprise.

I love the unusual geometry of the house, with it’s sloped exterior walls and raised roof lines in certain areas.

The same irregularity continues on the interior of the house creating beautiful site lines throughout.

The focus really is all about the picturesque views that the surrounding terrain provides.

Red pandas (or as they are known in the Monster Encyclopedia, "cuddly death-dealers") are oft-mistook for being cute and harmless but as these GIFs will show, nature can play cruel tricks. If you have encountered any of these beasts be glad that you are still alive, but please feel free to add more GIFs in the comments. They will GIF no mercy.
