Il Makiage’s proprietary formulations are the foundation of an 800-piece makeup collection created with uncompromising attention to detail.
“The brand’s distinctive DNA celebrates intelligent, strong, confident women. We spent the last five years developing products that would live up to her high standards.” explains Oran Holtzman, the company’s co-founder and CEO.
Il Makiage has launched the collection with a pavilion by Zaha Hadid Architects that is informed by the label’s characteristically bold graphic identity.
The project is located on a residential street in a traditional sector of Los Angeles (Mar Vista) at a distance of 4 miles from Venice Beach. The neighborhood consists of single-family houses, mostly single-story, with the typology of southern California houses: porch, sloping ceilings, façade materials with wood and stucco coatings, demarcation of the main access, among others.
Galini Sleeping Pod Launches as the Perfect Sustainable Getaway at Walden Monterey on California’s Central Coast.
Designed by Laith Sayigh and developed by Signature Investments Group, the 300-square-foot self-sustaining structures are the preamble for a residential enclave set on 609 acres and overlooking California’s central coast.
Today Laith Sayigh of the design studio DFA and entrepreneur Nickolas Jekogian III of Signature Investments Group, both in New York City, released the design of the Galini Sleeping Pod, a 3D-printed temporary living apparatus envisioned to introduce what more permanent living quarters within Walden Monterey’s idyllic ‘life in the woods’ setting will be like. DFA has worked alongside the Tennessee-based company Branch Technologies to develop the 3D printed structure.
myGini Office, designed by Istanbul based Ofist, is located in a characteristic brick building that built in 1858 in San Francisco and it captures a design line which respects to space without competing with the area.
Set in the harsh high desert of California, Sawmill is a family retreat embedded into the tough, scrubby landscape. Sawmill harnesses the challenges and opportunities of its remote site, emphasizing sustainable strategies and reclaimed materials. Demonstrating that high design can also be high performance, Sawmill is a net-zero home that operates completely off the grid.
Beyond an acute awareness of elements such as context and the needs of its community, ODA New York’s brand DNA is earmarked, in particular, by a special dexterity with—or even mastery of—the city’s byzantine zoning code; a kind of sixth sense for navigating the various restrictions and regulations in a way that enables ODA to consistently challenge architectural convention. That zoning facility is on full display in the brand’s latest multifamily masterstroke. Indeed, located on NYC’s lower east side, 100 Norfolk quite literally turns convention on its head.
Union Avenue is dominated by retail developments with asphalt parking areas separating the building facades from the street. The design challenges this trend by bringing the building forward interrupting the ubiquitous line of parked automobiles. This urban design approach provides enhanced visibility for the retail center’s tenants, and provides pedestrian amenities along a typically car-centric corridor. Vehicular parking is provided at the north side of the building where primary entrances to each tenant are located.
Once a crowded property with an aging bungalow and a commercial storefront, this live/work complex accommodates the architect’s growing family and practice. The expansion to the recently remodeled bungalow includes a new family room, exterior courtyard and deck, an attic conversion and stair hall. The storefront building, with its several bootleg additions, previously took up half of the site, exceeding the allowable floor area for the property and leaving little open space. In order to make space for the new yard and the 620 square feet of additions to the house, over 600 square feet of the storefront was demolished. To keep costs down, the architect did all of the construction with the help of a two-man crew over the course of almost 5 years.
Set within the vineyards and close to the center of town, the site for the house is a large plot of land dotted with full grown trees and vineyards.
The project consists of two houses connected with glass. Each house is protected from a busy road with two ‘L’ Shaped walls – one is stone and one is cedar. A number of pieces behind these walls are arranged together around courtyards and terraces. In turn giving rise to a sequence of individual gardens, each with their own individual ambience – gardens set among other limitless gardens. A system of slender spaces act like paths connecting the gardens, courtyards, and interior spaces, each embracing and respecting the landscape.
Griffin School is a college preparatory high school located in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Austin, TX. The school’s diverse, liberal arts curriculum and creative student body define its reputation. For many years the school has occupied an assemblage of buildings in a residential neighborhood. The campus consists of a repurposed church, a house converted to classrooms, and a small workshop. To accommodate growing enrollment and to create an environment that embodies their core values, Griffin School added a new two-story classroom building to the existing ensemble.
