Couple of facelifts

William — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 20:19:40 +0000

Added some colour and new images taken from last year for Gulmarg Heliski. With the season kicking off in just over a month in Kashmir its time to start planning your trip to one of the finest Heliski destinations in the world. Gulmarg, Kashmir mixes some of the best powder on offer with all the colour and drama of being in India.

A little closer to home we recently gave our friends at Housemart, Queenstown and Wanaka a spruce up. A redesign to the homepage and the addition of a blog to the site now means they are offering even more of their expertise in the rental property market. Check out their blog and see what you think.

We have moved!

After 5 great years in the heart of town we have decided to relocate the office to a more rural setting. With the studio situated on the shores of Lake Hayes, we are enjoying the views of the surrounding mountains as we continue working on some of our most exciting projects yet.

Stay tuned as we go live with a great mix of both international and local projects, some new and some reworked.

All contact details remain the same so pick up the phone and give us a call on 03 409 2031

It’s fresh from the oven!

The device designed by Poke tells its Twitter followers that something hot and fresh has just popped out of the local bakery’s oven.

“In order to be the first to know when ‘temptingly toasty fresh baguettes’ are ready, they installed a device that allows the baker to simply turn a dial to indicate what’s ready. At the hit of a button and with the help of a simple web interface, followers get a Twitter alert. The baker can sign into his or her Bakertweet account, customise the items on offer, and keep their list of products up to date for customers.”

Neat huh!

If I had a private beach, I’d want a bed like that to be on it.

ComplexCity Mappings

“Picking up on the inherent similarity between transportation systems in cities and the morphology of leaves and trees, is Lee Jang Sub’s ComplexCity series of works. These elaborate mappings of roads and highways mimic the venation patterns in leaves and the rhizomatic configurations of tree branches, creating delicate organic filigree structures in a range of different mediums, including light.”
