Over in Mexico




(I apologize for the absence of posts and updates. I have been away from electronics for a while. By the way if you want to see new products concepts and designs over architecture, please let me know. I enjoy both, but I'd rather have it consistent then not.)

This place is pretty nice, contemporary inside and out. Sadly it is located near an area, south of Mexico City, which isn't the most pleasant of places to be by. Considering its high crime rate at the moment. But then again, it is located outside of Mexico City. If you want more valuable information I recommend checking out the architecto's website.

Japan, oh how i love thee




Japan has some of the most interesting homes, mostly because there is no room for anything. You get a lot of these square homes, a lot of prefab, and definitely when you're walking around with a map to the address you need to be at, you'll run into these beautiful (I use this word sparingly) homes. It's just awesome how out of the ordinary this place is. In the states homes are to be huge and intricate...Japan though, things have to be pretty small and minimal...AND work!
Half the time in Europe though, the building are all attached. One huge block of building over separated homes. So the Japanese manner of building homes actually attracts me quite a bit. Maybe I'll find some more :)

A little water from Italy




This Casa Masso by Marco Castelletti is a very elegant match to the lakeside water body it sits by. The rooms are spacious enough it seems, and the openings + windows have such a gorgeous view of the land. If I could have a summer home, I would definitely pick this.

A little something from My Teacher



So having studied Graphical Design and Industrial Design, and always following up on as much as I can from my professors. I found out one of my very loved (Scott Wilson) mentors helped in creative design of the X-Box Kinect.

Single Family Home in Varna




The Architecture Group Dizarh a single family home, and to my knowledge, without a name, to blend in with the wooded area is was built in. It's quite refreshing to see this type of building as opposed to my ever-so-loving box homes.

Boh Tea Centre





This Tea Center is great. It's long and overhanging (I like this quality in architecture :), with a tremendously gorgeous view. The ZLG design group really worked well on this one.

Let's Take it Back to 1975



Here is a small series of stamps created by Israeli designer Eliezer Weishoff in about 1975. It's a great piece of graphical design, with in which if I were buying stamps would love to have these. I wish more graphic designers would do this (come to think of it, maybe I'll try my hand in making them. :)
BTW these stamps also talk about the environmental problems and hazards almost everyone endures everyday. And with a little bit of home, shows a bit of a better solution or care to the problem.
