The proposal for the new building, owned by Toronto developer Starfish Properties, has been designed by Halifax architecture firm Lydon Lynch. ... Read more »

The poster for Nicolas Winding Refn’s Drive, starring Ryan Gosling, is one of the best I've seen in recent years: It's so good, in fact, that it got me to thinking about my other favourite recent movie posters. There was, of course, the amazing poster for David Fincher's The Curious Case of ... Read more »

I love parts of the Triangulo House, designed by Roberto Rivera and Ana Ulloa at Ecostudio Architects in Costa Rica, but man oh man is it clear that the homeowners weren't designing with either senior citizens or children in mind. I mean, I love the idea of floating stairs as ... Read more »

I'm a regular reader of Signal vs. Noise, a "weblog by 37signals about design, business, experience, simplicity, the web, culture, and more." It's a great blog, and although I don't fully understand why 37signals, the software company behind it, is as profitable as it is, I really respect and appreciate ... Read more »

Completely enamoured as I was with Oxxford suits after watching their promo video, I headed over to the Oxxford Clothes website and was delighted to find a detailed guide to the anatomy of their suits. The craziest part for me is the pattern-matching by hand. Seriously, how can you learn all this ... Read more »

I want an Oxxford suit
What a beautiful suit.

You've gotta love good craftmanship. Chicago's Oxxford Clothes is apparently the last factory in the United States that makes custom tailored suits by hand. I don't know much about suits or suitmaking, but after Oxxford describes the care and attention to detail they put into every suit they make, it doesn't ... Read more »

This is the Iseami House - a completely energy self-sufficient residence in Playa Carate, Costa Rica, designed by Juan Robles and his team at Robles Arquitectos - courtesy of ArchiDaily. I'm not super crazy about the house itself, but the way it's positioned in the mountainside and takes advantage of both ... Read more »

First of all, if you speak Farsi, then yes, their name is hilarious. Be that as it may, however, their designs are incredible. Based out of Singapore, their residential homes fuse clean lines and open concepts with the tropical environments that surround them, and always make creative use of the integrated ... Read more »

I'm not sure why. It's the "Protect This House. I Will." / "Combine Training" one with Brandon Jennings, Michael Phelps, Dez Bryant, and Georges St. Pierre. I think it's a combination of the score, the editing, and the fact that Phelps is using a climbing peg board in it. I've ... Read more »
