The client, with the idea of innovating a new concept and proliferate around the world, brifou architecture: “We want to break all the rules, but without ceasing to respect them.” A challenge for the Dreamtime Australia Design , which living up to its name, dreamed away so I can get the result he arrived, the project that broke all the conventional paradoxes.
