Cole Valley Hillside Residence
May 9th, 2011Designed by John Maniscalco Architecture and resting on the hillside of San Francisco’s Cole Valley, this residence is a revitalization of a 1930′s home into a more relaxing, modern masterpiece. It sits at the end of a cul-de-sac where the first thing you see while approaching is an exceptional use of planked wood siding and black steel.

Inspiring Dot-Com Offices
Feb 17th, 2011Wikileaks
I bet if you closed your eyes and pictured what the Wikileaks offices would look like, it would come pretty close to the real thing. That’s because it is housed inside no other than a defunct war bunker located 100 feet underground! This is also where they keep some of those precious servers that contain their damning data leaks. Eat your heart out, Batman.

This office space is a beautiful hodgepodge of furniture and décor — the perfect illustration of their own website. It all blends very nicely with the raw loft space. The large windows make the rooms feel lively while the open floor plans seem to be a common theme we continue to see in new offices which encourage collaboration and dialogue between workers.
Yelp
Situated in sunny San Francisco, this vibrant space is really the antithesis of a traditional work environment. We love the stickers/posters that adorn the walls as well as the awesome “bike lobby”. This is another space that feels much more like a home than a stingy office.

Sisyphus Office
Jun 2nd, 2009[Click the image to view the article]
Sisyphus Office is an exhibition organized by San Francisco based artist, curator, and co-founder of The Thing Quarterly, Jonn Herschend and based out of Skydive, a Houston, Texas gallery. The artists involved in the project are collaborating with businesses and offices in and around Houston in order to highlight art as an integral and necessary distraction in our day to day life. The artists and offices involved in Sisyphus Office are working physically and conceptually with the notions of existentialism, capitalism, artistic romanticism and deadpan slapstickism as a means to examine the artifice that keeps us clinging to reality and distracted from the void. Sisyphus Office is about punching the clock, and then punching it again…but harder the second time. It’s about transcending the mundane through the beauty and absurdity of distraction. It’s about recognizing the comedy in the tragedy of the day to day… and then waking up again to do the same thing all over again the next morning. David Fullarton’s contribution is an installation in the offices of Houston radio station 90.1 KPFT entitled “What I do at work when I’m supposed to be working.” It consists of a number of small works made entirely from office supplies, which are pinned up randomly around the office, in amongst the notices, flyers and memos that were already existing in the environment.
