There’s a definite retro tinge to many Motor Rock builds though, reflecting the Japanese appreciation of all things vintage. This lovely Kawasaki W650, a recent creation, is a prime example: it takes an already classic-looking motorcycle even further back in time. And without compromising function in the quest for style — via Bike EXIF

In the 18th century, the Royal Gunpowder Mills housed the largest gunpowder works in Britain, and it remained a centre for the production of and research into explosives until 1991.

Two early 20th century buildings, the Power House and the Water Tower, have been converted [Pollard Thomas Edwards Architects] to form a new headquarters office for the client, while remaining faithful to the industrial history of the site. A new three-storey glazed structure completes the office complex and incorporates a top-floor terrace which links all three buildings and gives magnificent views out over the adjacent water meadows — via ArchDaily

Two years ago Buzz Kanter, Editor-in-Chief of American Iron Magazine, rode his 1915 Harley-Davidson across most of the United States in the first Motorcycle Cannonball endurance ride. And now he’s about to do it again on this very rare 1929 Harley JDH. That’s 6,366 km on an 83-year-old bike.

This JDH will be a little quicker than the machine Buzz rode two years go: It’s essentially a detuned factory race engine in a standard JD street chassis. Harley offered the JDH Two Cam in very limited quantities, and only during 1928 and 1929. Many believe there are less than 1,500 real JDHs left in the world, and most of them are in museums or private collections — via Bike EXIF

The house [elton léniz arquitectos asociados] is located in a privileged area of ground in terms of views, orientation, etc so the shape of the house adapts to the existing, respecting the existence of a large rock cliff and a number of native trees. Both the shape of the house as its program does not serve the purpose of intervening the natural landscape. that is why the house is composed of two volumes connected by a bridge way around the rock and adapt to the position of the trees — via ArchDaily

This house [Bourne Blue Architecture] is for leisure. Seal Rocks is all about surfing, the bush and the ocean.
