Contemporary Mountain Home by Ulisses Morato

mountainhomefront


Despite its thoroughly modern looks, this mountainside home in Brazil, designed by Ulisses Morato, was constructed using primarily local materials and traditional, manual construction. According to Morato, the contemporary aesthetic stems from his desire that “the ‘natural order’ and ‘cultural order’ are mutually distinguished.” The home uses strict geometric forms and bright splashes of primary color to contrast its natural surroundings. Living space is spread over three levels. A glass encased lower level opens onto a patio and pool, while an upper level cantilevers dramatically over the pool toward the valley below, supported on skewed columns. The home was awarded honors in the Single House category of the 10th Architecture Awards, an event promoted by Instituto dos Arquitetos do Brasil.

Mackdaddy "Mack Sk8"

mackdaddy-mack-sk8


Mackdaddy has released some images of the latest style they have produced as part of their footwear collection. Known as the Mackdaddy "Mack Sk8" the sneakers appear to have a silhouette which looks to be a mix between the Vans Sk8-Hi and the Vans Chukka. The uppers feature a combo of suede and patent leather with suede on the toe, tongue and lace panels with patent leather on the rest of the upper. The uppers sit on top of tonal sole units and on the sole itself it says Mackdaddy.

Watch for the Mack Sk8 to hit select Mackdaddy retailers next month August.


Nice stuff...love the colours..

The Akita Sk8-Hi LX features a beautiful crocodile embossed patent leather in both black/white and peach. As part Vans’ exclusive Vault collection, this Sk8 Hi offers a drop in footbed for a more comfortable feel than your standard Sk8 Hi. A little flashier than what we’re usually into, but if that’s what you’re looking for, these are a decent pick.

mastermind JAPAN 2009 Fall/Winter Collection

mastermind-japan-2009-fall-winter-catalog-1


First I didn't feel the collection so much cause it0s very similar to Visvim, but after another look I think they did an awesome collection.

Never straying far from its trademark use of the skull and crossbones, a comprehensive run-down of mastermind JAPAN’s 2009 fall/winter collection is seen here. Everything from footwear to accessories and your usual apparel are previewed with some select collaborations with Visvim as well.

Villa Storingavika


Designed by Todd Saunders.


Architect Todd Saunders, a Canadian who has lived and worked in Norway since 1997, is a busy man these days, but has taken the time to share with us one of his office’s most recent projects, the Villa Storingavika in Bergen, Norway.

From the architect:

The house looks out over the southern fjords and the West coast archipelago. The house is twofold. The top floor is for the parents and the bottom for their two children that are university students. In addition there is a small 35m2 guest studio on the bottom floor. The house is a long thin structure with a balcony extruding 6m out of the house that rests on 3 steel poles. The house is clad in black stained wood with natural wood between the window partitions.












Minimalismus in perfection...
