Sneakerology web-based publicity round up

0 Comment
Here is the round up of publicity received by Sneakerology in the cyber world, on top of the previous entries I have already made...


Again, I have only taken the few influential online trendspotting/ design magazines/ blogs, which were then fed to numerous other online magazines/ blogs.... which means there are most likely articles in the cyberspace that I am unaware of...

Streetology web-based publicity round up

Instead of doing one-by-one blog entries I thought it is better to do a round up of publicity received by Streetology in the cyber world, on top of the previous entries I have already made... I will do another entry to round up for Sneakerology too.

These are a few influential online trendspotting/ design magazines/ blogs, which were then fed to numerous other online magazines/ blogs.

We felt very privileged and will continue the good work!

Dreamy light

Lin House is a straight forward project - house renovation for a friend's family of 5 to relocate to Sydney from overseas.

It is straight forward until we took the wall boards out, only to reveal the poor state of the original building fabric...I tend to believe that buildings are made to last, and it makes me start wondering about the reasoning behind building solutions which are in for temporary fixes.
Anyhow, as the result we had to pull out all the wetareas in the house, on top of the other bits and pieces we had to patch up... and I am glad we did what we had to do.

Here are some photos of before and after (whilst still completing..) the main bathroom renovation... one more week and the clients are moving in to the house!

Current state (ignore the newspaper wrapping on the bathtub...)

Qingdao 15th Street

Is this a cake?

 
...If it is, after flying across half of the world I think it may not taste that good...

We are recently engaged to work on Qingdao 15th Street, in the town famous for Tsingtao Beer in China (Qingdao is an alternative spelling for Tsingtao).
A *very rough* idea about the project, is to create a "Japan Town" in Qingdao, which boasts a Japanese population of some 30,000.  
It is funny in a way; the other day we have just made an observation that in Sydney, there are "hubs" for people with different cultural backgrounds (eg, Chinese, Thai, Korean, Greek, Lebanese.. the list goes on) owing to the multicultural character of Sydney, but Japanese tend to be a lot more dispersed.  I wonder why.

Anyhow, this is what is in the box...

This is JJ who recently joined the Facet Studio team, these beautiful models were crafted by him

carefully packed for transport, to take to initial concept presentation at Qingdao... cotton balls all over the place....

 
Viola! Wish us luck!!
