Chalkidos Street Residence

Armon Choros Architects have designed the Chalkidos Residence in Larnaca, Cyprus. The architects were asked to produce an introverted residence, with an internal yard where the water would constitute the main element of the space. The architects were also tasked with making use of the south-east sun and the western air, as well as creating spaces that have height and light, but were also plain and hospitable to the art collection of the owner.

This song right here has been getting a lot of buzz on internet shows, music blogs and magazines. In honor of the release of the beautiful Sade's first album in over a decade, rapper T.Shirt wrote a song called 'Dear Sade'. In a recent post, he explains why he chose this song, "I use the song as a vehicle to explain how much Sade has influenced me to be a certain kind of artist. The woman had made classic, timeless music for the last 20 years and I thought I'd flirt little bit." And flirt he did. After massive internet downloads of the track, the song was picked up by Emilio Sparks New York Radio Show. Soon after, XXL Magazine posts the song on their XXL Bangers. From the looks of it, I feel this song will reach Sade pretty soon.

Williams Studio l Architect: gh3


This photographer's studio over a boathouse is located at Stoney Lake, Ontario, Canada. I really like the glass house/landscape theme. The qualities of simple, open space, interior and exterior unity is a shutterbug's dream. The photographer's live/work studio and film location is continuously bathed in diffuse and undiminished natural light.
