"design"

So my blog is going to be taking a bit of a different route over the next…ohh I dunno….2 years. Because I am going to be consumed with a current project I’m working on: my house. About a year ago I bought a building - a small warehouse of sorts - and decided to turn it into a live/work studio. And here I am, a year later, still in the construction process. The video shown here is the original vision I modeled for the space, and the photos show where I am in the process right now as far as the exterior and interior walls / HVAC / electrical / plumbing. As for finishing the space, furniture, etc….I’ll be doing most of the work myself. I have no idea how long it will take me, but the goal for me is to not purchase anything new. I’ll be finding used items or building all of the interior components myself. Posts coming in the following months will cover everything from custom wooden bathtubs to WWII helicopter propeller ceiling fans to exterior pulley systems.

Sagmeister & Walsh are the lat­est in the line of excel­lent design­ers to col­lab­o­rate with Moo on a line of cards for their Luxe col­lec­tion. In typ­i­cal Sagmeister & Walsh fash­ion, they took an edgy approach to their design, cre­at­ing a series of busi­ness card-sized mes­sages that are intended “to be handed to any­one you meet who delights or annoys you.”

The man-made mechanical forest, five years in the making, consists of 18 supertrees that act as vertical gardens, generating solar power, acting as air venting ducts for nearby conservatories, and collecting rainwater. To generate electricity, 11 of the trees are fitted with solar photovoltaic systems that provide lighting and assist with water flow in the conservatories below.
