Featuring floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors on both ends, the interior establishes a sequential organization of space with a simple circulation route. The kitchen, living and dining area is conceived as one zone on the south to take advantage of the available natural daylight. To break up the monotonous geometry of the layout, the bedrooms are defined by subtly tapering walls that direct the circulation in a zig-zag motion. Partial height walls terminating at different elevations create a visual topography to the space while maintaining sight lines down the length of the house.
Xeros Residence by Blank Studio Architecture
To access the residence, the visitor ascends an exterior steel staircase to an upper level balcony before entering the common room (sitting, dining, and kitchen). The visitor continues through a central gallery towards the cantilevered master suite/media room. This space is completely glazed on the north façade to enjoy the mountain preserve views. To complete the cycle of movement, a cantilevered yellow-glass framed ‘Romeo and Juliet’ balcony allows views back to the city and across the long axis of the building.
The realisation is better than the anticipation.
Sayo fucking nara.
Optimism as Cultural Rebellion by Matthew Stone
The exhibition will focus on the intersections between the ideas, photography and sculptures that define Matthew’s work. Alongside his sculptural installations of photography, he will also be presenting a performance at the gallery titled “Anatomy of Immaterial Worlds” as part of the visual art performance biennial PERFORMA 11.
Steering into more of a contemporary aesthetic rather than the outdoors inspired designs we’ve seen in recent seasons, Japanese fashion designer Junya Watanabe presented his latest and greatest for Fall 2011. Building off basic Americana styles, the collection shined with a presentation that featured items such as duffel coats, sport coats, knit sweaters and puff coats, along with other dressier garments.
I still think I need a pair of Jil Sander creepers in my life.
