Architect Peter Besley wrapped an Australian home in perforated screens of reclaimed terracotta brick and metal mesh designed to support climbing plants.

Commenters discussed the residence, with one calling it “beautifully detailed” and another who disagreed said it “feels like several ideas competing for dominance”.
