Champion. I’ll post it through sometime tomorrow.

Yay, strange presents for me

Not sure where the best place for this was

Your thoughts please oh stylish people. Are these Gubi's a classic?

Too Interior Designery for me. Very few shots available with the light switched on so difficult to tell what the lit effect is like.

If you want classic then Louis Poulsen PH5 wins every time IMO.

Anyone got any good Instagram follows for decent architecture and interior design, preferably not architecture practices or design companies, looking for some inspiration and Instagram is a fucker for searching for stuff when it won’t tell you which accounts are private but or not

For mid century stuff I quite enjoy https://instagram.com/midcenturyhome?igshid=1cdx07acd0uss

Scroll back to older posts to get a sense of what she is about.

Themodernhouse (obvs), thelocalproject is good but all Aussie. Still some nice Victorian/modern in there among the coastal palaces.

I remember talking about that competition for huts along the stops on the Eurovelo 6 route here.
Results have been out for a while.

Does anyone have other examples of cycling specific shelters, or any nice shelters in general?

An interesting article not only about this horrific building, but also about the history and economics behind it:

Some nice examples in this years Don't Move, Improve shortlist - the White Rabbit house by Gundry + Ducker is all kinds of awesome

Yeah, Gundry & Ducker have some lovely projects

I wonder what the budget was for that White Rabbit house?

That staircase wasn't cheap

That White Rabbit House makes me think of these guys.
Who are based in Minsk of all places.

Corr I dunno - custom terrazzo stairs like that must be several £0,000’s ?!

I’ve seen quite a few nice projects in Minsk and one particular firm I can’t think of now who’ve done a number of projects.

Just finished a house near York Road, it's gone all rusty tho. FFS.

I’m constantly staggered people go in for this neo pomo aesthetic for their own houses - I wonder how it will date. Back extension rennovations have become a luxury pursuit of one upmanship I blame instagram.

That looks awesome. Corten steel I take it? What kind of roofing is above?

Yeah it's corten. Roof is a single-ply membrane flat roof.

Love it.

How have you approached the dew point of the steel to prevent condensation?

There's a better phrase for it but it eludes me currently.
