Weekend House Japan

2009-04-03T08:31:00.002-04:00

Weekend House Alley is a small beach development designed as a shared beach house for surfers. Instead of making one new outsized structure, architect Manabu Chiba has cut the building into separate triangular volumes by means of seven alleyways. As a result, he has kept the charm of the small-scale residential neighbourhood with a mix of 6 shops, a restaurant and 13 apartments, all bringing life to the seafront of Kamakura Beach after surfing hours. Residents and passers-by have 24 hour access to the new public alleys, and there are views to the stunning beach, ocean and mountains in all directions.

Pepsi WHY?

2009-01-09T10:28:00.004-05:00

Any one else confused on the direction Pepsi is taking with there brand?

To me this feels temporary. I expect we'll be seeing a change again in the next 6 months. So all design firms out there start coming up with concepts now, because we all know that when designing for Pepsi it's like a design competition and very rarely does the best design win.
