Designer digs

I first came across the work of building designer <a href="http://dgbuilding.com.au/">Dion Gadd</a> when it was featured in <a href="http://queenslandhomes.com.au/">Queensland Homes magazine</a> a few years ago. Since then, it seems his work has gone from strength to strength, and with a recent win for the 2010 HIA-CSR Queensland Home of the Year, it looks like the sky's the limit. This latest home in Settler's Cove, Noosa, is a fabulous example of how to work with a sloping block, not against it - and the results speak for themselves.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
