Vaucluse Renovation
Bruce Stafford Architects have designed the renovation of an existing house which was originally an 80's style multi-tenancy building in Sydney, Australia. Only the external walls were retained to comply with the approved council envelope. A completely new look for the house was designed, both inside and out.

TEXAS TOWER HOUSE
When I think of Texas nowhere in that thought is green grass, water or large trees. Talk about a skewed perception of the state. Fortunately that has been renewed by this house in Austin built by Andersson Wise Architects. Ultimately it seems more like a lookout tower which only makes it cooler.

Cul-de-sac graphic prints
The creative team at Cul-de-sac is releasing its first range of limited edition prints. Blending the hallmarks of Danish design, Italian style and Pop Art punch, these three geometric prints are timeless artworks that will add visual impact to any interior. These are the first in what will be an on-going series of prints playing with the team’s theme of the cul-de-sac… a street that is open at one end only, a journey that brings you home. The first series, seen displayed in the studio of iconic designer Khai Liew, features a punchy orange design; another with geometric curves of tonal blue and a third print of a smaller repeating pattern in yellow. Each print is released in a limited edition of 20 prints.

In Chelsea -- Sadly
I don't think I've ever come upon a scene like this while checking out galleries in Chelsea. Nor do I feel comfortable documenting it without asking permission. But I didn't know how to approach this man. Anyway, what a sad commentary on NYC -- and its inadequate treatment of those who most need help.

In Chelsea
While in Chelsea today, I came upon a bunch of stickers with images of photos of stickers -- all KA's and MTK's. Too cool!

On Tumblr
Just about all the teens I've been speaking to this past year tell me that they spend hours a day on tumblr. My City-as-School intern, Ariel Estrella, offered to set this up for me and keep it running! Thanks so much, Ariel!
The Transformation of a Post-War House Into a Fantastic Residence
The Roberts Residence is one of those homes that received a total makeover, making it hard to recognise after the architects finished working on it. The post-war house that used to occupy the lot has been transformed into a freshly designed residence for a young family of four. All the spaces in the house – the master bedroom and bath, 2 additional bedrooms with a bathroom and playroom for the children, the kitchen, living room, an office, gym, laundry room and storage – were recreated by tearing down the interior walls, second floor and roof. The 3,500 square feet house became a dream home situated on a slightly sloped terrain. A double-height volume featuring a glazed wall opens up to the outside space, offering beautiful views of the nearby park.
The kitchen was prolonged outside on the terrace, creating a natural gathering space for the family and guests. Division1 Architects worked on this project that surprises the most elemental human desires: a dream home surrounded by nature. Thanks to Debi Fox Photography, we can all enjoy the beautiful Roberts Residence. Look below to see the before and after pictures.
