Re:Vision Salon: Link to blog
Here is a link to a posting on Michelle Kaufmann’s blog with images from David Baker + Partners, Architects that I really like. http://blog.michellekaufmann.com/?p=2408 http://www.dbarchitect.com/
Kicking it, old school
I came across these images as we were cleaning up the servers, and was feeling nostalgic. Imagine that – hand sketches and photoshop. This makes me wish I had time to sketch today, but I don’t, so instead I’ll just post these as my offering to the sketch gods.
SF Precedent – At home in PHX?
Not only is this an interesting solution, but it makes good financial sense to develop (even temporarily) underutilized sites in downtown PHX. Something like this would be right at home along Roosevelt, and help reinforce the City’s commitment to the developing art scene. This from the Architect’s Paper Blog, posting […]
Rev it up
Here are some progress images of the design for Gila County Chopper. The second floor deck is going to allow for incredible views, and will double as extended display areas for bikes on special occasions. The new masonry wall that has been added is reusing existing masonry that is on […]

We invite engineers, architects, […]
Thou shalt not covet
I’ll stop posting new cool bike designs on Fridays on two conditions; 1-When they stop coming into my RSS reader. 2-When the weather here isn’t 110 degrees anymore, and I can ride my own into work and stop wanting other bikes. This is a great design with a different spin, […]
Keiser Residence – Progress Photos
Hard to believe, I know, but there are actually people in town that are building things. Yesterday I received a set of progress photos from Debby Keiser, and I was so excited to see them. I’m glad she agreed to let me post them here. This project included adding a […]
