The triangular zone of intervention on the site releases itself naturally from the existing constraints. The result is a concrete piece of cake, a simple 22m high extrusion of that original triangular shape.

This single family home [Onion Flats] in the hills of Oakland, CA, overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge and all of San Francisco, is designed to merge comfortably into it’s difficult and steeply sloped site. It is also meant to provide a tranquil yet inspiring setting for a young couple, their two children and their aging in-laws. The physical site offered the project its greatest challenge and direction. It’s 17% slope coupled with height restrictions and adjacencies to neighboring homes required that the building be bunkered into the landscape. This became the source of the project’s programmatic, spatial and architectural strategy, which is centered around the entry or knuckle of the building — via ArchDaily

If Yamaha’s SR series is the mainstay of affordable customization in the Western world, then Honda’s GL series is the Indonesian equivalent. This unusual bobber comes from DariztDesign, described by principal Agus Darizt as just a little shed—a home garage in Jogja (Yogjakarta), a city on the island of Java. Agus and his brother Faiz design, fabricate and paint their bikes in-house, and the green GL100 was the second bike they built. Indonesia has only a limited bike selection, Agus says, so I try to create something else, something different. Indeed: check the custom tube frame and that radical suspension. Agus and Faiz have now built seven bikes in a wide range of styles—including a very tasty Kawasaki KZ200—so check them out on the DariztDesign web site — via Bike EXIF
