If you happen to be passing by the west end of town between 9am and 5pm (I’m pretty sure they are the opening hours) drop by and check it out:
UniSA City West Campus, North Terrace, Adelaide

Freshwater House – Chenchow Little Architects

The Freshwater House was recently announced as the winner of the 2009 Robin Boyd Award – Australia’s highest award for residential architecture.
Designed by Chenchow Little Architects, the house is situated in the coastal Sydney suburb of Harbord, overlooking Queenscliffe Bay and an adjacent reserve.
From the street the house appears as a modernist black box floating above a wall of weathered timber slats. Made from recylcled spotted gum, the timber slats conceal the garage while also forming a podium for the garden terrace and main living area above.
The use of full height glazing and sliding doors creates a strong connection between the internal living areas and the lawned terrace. (How cool is the lone tree and the little lawn mound?)
The bedrooms on the the upper level are enclosed by a series of dark metal slatted screens. These operable screens allow the house to take advantage of the amazing view through extensive glazing while still allowing for sun control and privacy.

Camera Tattoo Filmed in Stop-Motion

Here’s an awesome video by Dabe Alan that he filmed in stop-motion while being tattooed by Tony Touch.
This is cool on so many levels so I couldn’t help but post it onto My Design Fix. I love the vintage cameras, the cool tattoo, the insight into the detail and seeing the process from start to finish. The effect of the stop-motion looks awesome in its own right too.
For more info on the tattoo check out Dabe Alan’s flickr page here (Be sure to check out some of his other photos – he’s a great photographer)
For more great work by Tony Touch check out his flickr page here and his website pitheory.com.

Pantone Mugs

If you are a designer of any discipline, I can safely say that you have probably come across the Pantone colour matching system at some point. I remember my first time just as if it were yesterday – using Letraset Pantone markers for a first year uni assignment. Haha sounds like I’m reminiscing time spent with an ex-girlfriend.
Well thanks to Whitbread Wilkinson, the designers of the Pantone Mugs, I can now enjoy a bit of Pantone colour goodness with every meal (and unlike an ex-girlfriend I’d be stoked to see them everyday!). The mugs, inspired by Pantone Colour charts, are glazed with a pattern resembling the iconic Pantone Colour Chip and colour reference number.
For more Pantone inspired products check out the Whitbread Wilkinson website here.
Above is a cool photo of a pantone colour chart I found at athenaemily.com and is available to download as a desktop background.
