I'm not generally into curves... but I find this project very intriguing. That first image doesn't look like it should be possible? A steel mullion supporting the concrete house? Crazy!

Hey, I know this guy!
06 September 2011
It is always fun when you see people you know in the news... I don't know the architects on this project (Ruhl Walker Architects out of Boston), but I know the local architect - Rhoady Lee, the builder - Phil Tinguely, and the mechanical engineer - Mark Morrison.

When I was living in working in Hawaii, I felt like there was a real lack of modern design, so it is nice to it start to happen more and more.
Congrats to all for the Hawaii Wildlife Center!

Recycle Office - HAKA Building
30 June 2011
This new office by Doepel Strijkers Architects includes an auditorium, exhibition, meeting space, kitchen and flexible office space. The use of recycled materials adds a lot of dimension and texture... but my favorite space is the meeting room, enclosed by a series of salvaged doors, which could easily all be opened for shared meetings, or closed for private ones.

who says storage facilities can't be good looking?
A minimalist office for a minimalist architecture firm.Modern Barn Conversion
06 June 2011
A very nice barn conversion by RRA architects. Barns are particularly conducive to modern conversions, as they are generally the epitome of form follows function. And that form is generally classic and minimal. The additive portions of the project complement (rather than compete with) the existing structure very nicely.

Square Gutters Again
25 May 2011
Another great looking house by another great Scandinavian firm. When I first saw the images, I was immediately reminded of this house (check out the gutters!). In fact, I thought they might be the same firm, but turns out this project it bySwedish firm Sandell Sandberg.
IDEApaint
15 May 2011
This paint could be ridiculous and cheesy if implemented poorly, but could be a lot of fun if done right! I love the idea of an entire conference wall (or coffee shop) painted with whiteboard. Instead of having a cheesy office depot plastic whiteboard, the whole room is your canvas. And when someone inevitably uses the wrong type of marker, you can just repaint instead of chucking the board.

Delft Blue Soda Cans?
I can't remember where I found this... but I love the juxtaposition of traditional Delft blue china and a modern soda can.

If anyone has more information, I'd love to learn more.

Mutewatch
05 May 2011
I have only started wearing a watch in the last year or so, but I am dying to replace it with this watch. Designed by Swedish firm Mutewatch, this thing is just gorgeous. I may actually get on the waiting list for when it comes out in July!Johannes Norlander Arkitektur
