Paul Rand’s Ford presentation

In March of 1966, Paul Rand finished his Ford logo presentation book. It was a proposal to Ford Motor Company for a new house mark.

A Guide To Curtains, Sheers + Blinds For Every Space

A Guide To Curtains, Sheers + Blinds For Every Space

In heritage and traditional spaces, curtains are king! They add so much drama and character to a space,  and often also perform really useful functions including energy efficiency, great insulation and acoustic benefits.

A key distinguishing feature of curtains is the heading style – ie the way the curtains gather at the top. This feature alone can be either very traditional or more seamless and contemporary, depending on the style of the space and your preference.

A ‘pinch pleat’ style curtain is well suited to classic and heritage interiors. In this style of curtains, the bulk of the pleat is at the front of the heading, with two or three neatly pinched folds approximately 10cm down from the top of the curtain. This style of curtain can either be installed on a hidden track, or can hang on a curtain rods with rings.

How A New Zealand Architect Built His Home For $150,000 (With No Construction Experience!)

How A New Zealand Architect Built His Home For $150,000 (With No Construction Experience!)

When faced with buying in an unaffordable and overinflated housing market, architect William Samuels and his partner Hannah D’Arcy were forced to consider alternative paths to home ownership. ‘To address this, we looked at how to detach the house value from the land value,’ says William.

The answer: leased land. William and Hannah struck up a long-term agreement with a landowner in Nelson, located in New Zealand’s South Island, to rent the land required to host their future home. 

Built on a NZD$150,000 (about AUD$140,000) budget, William and Hannah’s resulting home, The Studio House, tackles the issues of housing affordability as well as sustainable design, the liveability of smaller spaces, and adaptable architecture.
