Love this place – there should really be more council flats featured in the mix. It’s the home of furniture designer Martino Gemper and artist Francis Upritchard.

Check out this fantastic photo collage work from Matt Wisniewski (he splits his time between Rochester and New York so he gets bonus points!)

Love these plywood shelters from Patkau Architects, designed for one of the coldest cities in the world. They’re like a big cluster of penguins.

Tweety & Sylvester

manmakehome — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 23:22:45 +0000

Apologies for my abrupt exodus from blogging. Looking after a 2-year old has really changed things – and made blogging a teeny bit difficult.

These days the only design I’m get to see is from old cartoons I find on youtube for my son. Check out the colour combinations from this classic Sylvester and Tweety bird clip from 1957!

Enjoy.

Hopefully more posts to follow in time…
