Jenni Ogden skillfully juxtaposes:  University based health care research scientists and Wildlife researchers in the Great Barrier Reef.

Perhaps one could say Jenni developed a matrix juxtapositions of scientists and researchers in settings of…

Last weekend, conversation drifted to dreams of log cabin mountain resorts.  Rustic ski lodges are especially dreamy.  However, the notions of log cabins seemed too conventional.  Coincidence?

Which design is your favorite?
