Some top drawer work from i29, interior architects from Amsterdam. This single-family apartment for four people is situated in a stately building in southern Amsterdam, NL. The original structure, with rooms for staff, a double hall and long hallways with lots of doors has been transformed into a spacious, transparent dwelling full of light and air.

Surely something as nice as the recently illuminated Infinity Bridge can’t be in Stockton-on-Tees? Designed by Expedition Engineering, the slender bowstring bridge cuts a distinctive silhouette across the River Tees. A 230m-long concrete walkway is supported by a pair of asymmetric steel arches that appear to skip across the river like a pebble skimming water.

Speirs and Major Associates designed the lighting in such a way that the iconic twin arches reflect in the water at night to form the mathematical symbol for infinity (∞) – hence the name. We’re told the unusual bit about the project is the way the lights respond to the movement of pedestrians, of which there is a video here.

You know, I have no idea which pieces of work to showcase from Claesson Koivisto Rune as there is so much good stuff to look at. There’s a pool of dribble on the desk, I have been salivating that much at their work. From full house design to interiors to product design, the Stockholm-based agency have one of the very best portfolios of work around. Thanks to Mårten, Eero & Ola for the email.

Narrated by Dustin Hoffman, Visual Acoustics celebrates the life and career of Julius Shulman, the world’s greatest architectural photographer, whose images brought modern architecture to the American mainstream. Shulman, who passed away this year, captured the work of nearly every modern and progressive architect since the 1930s including Frank Lloyd Wright, Richard Neutra, John Lautner and Frank Gehry.

His images epitomized the singular beauty of Southern California’s modernist movement and brought its iconic structures to the attention of the general public. This unique film is both a testament to the evolution of modern architecture and a joyful portrait of the magnetic, whip-smart gentleman who chronicled it with his unforgettable images.

“Is it a garage or an art gallery with a Ferrari parked in it? Brentwood resident Holger Schubert’s 1984 Ferrari 512 BBi “Boxer” makes its home in a 1,200-square-foot space that recently won Maserati and Architectural Digest’s Design Driven contest for best garage.”

Nice, but wheres the half drunken bottle of spirits that only come out at christmas, wheres the odd irregular bits of wood your dad kept “Just in Case” and wheres those weird (non labelled) bottle of liquids, that know one actually knows what’s in them?!?! That ain’t no garage! Found courtesy of @PedalAndey.

“Designed by loriane m. icibaci of forma-i, the ananda clinic is meant to accommodate young patients who need treatment from three different specializations: orthodontistry, physiotherapy and pshycology. The main idea behind the project was to provide space for work and amusement for the main users (the children) and to avoid the conventional concept of a clinic. for children’s use, the walls and flooring have been finished in washable surfaces.” Super cool.

I was disappointed when the High Line wasn’t open in January when I visited New York, it was due to be, but like most construction jobs, it over ran. Section one of this 1.45 mile long public park finally opened on Monday. Its such a great idea in a city of such little space. The way it cuts through the city underneath buildings and weaves over the top of busy traffic is inspiring. Can’t wait to go back and see it! View it’s starting point live from the Standard Hotel’s webcam. Visit the High Line Website to and see all the historical, architectural, construction and completion images. Wonderful.
