In 1960, the young Spanish manufacturer Bultaco decided to make a name for itself and claim some long distance records. It built this stunningly beautiful 175cc machine, and took it to the Autodrome de Montlhéry just south of Paris. It was a successful trip, with five records in the bag. Best of all, the Bultaco Cazarécords is still in running order, and in the care of the remarkable Museu de la Moto de Bassella in Spain, a two-hour ride northwest of Barcelona — via Bike EXIF

Canadian architectural firm YH2 designed La Cornette, a country house in Quebec, Canada.

Built on the slope of a small hill, La Cornette is a country house open to the pastoral landscape that surrounds it. Under a soaring roof resembling a nun’s cornet wimple is a roomy dwelling modelled on traditional Quebec houses of old that lodged large families and their relatives. This house for celebrations and holidays, designed for two families, is set into the naturally uneven terrain in a way that brings each level into direct contact with the surrounding natural environment. It offers a resting place for all guests under its large gable in a series of bedrooms and unusual sleeping areas — via CONTEMPORIST

Sometimes codes and laws help save priceless historic properties. Still, try telling that to a homeowner who wishes to remodel or expand their residence, like the folks who live in this mid-1800s timber cottage.

This year the Swiss brand will issue a new take on the last year’s Montblanc Collection Villeret 1858 ExoTourbillon Chronographe timepiece. The new Montblanc Collection Villeret 1858 Tourbillon Bi-Cylindrique watch will feature almost the same case, but will be powered by a different movement.

The movement in question is the new hand-wound Manufacture Calibre MB M65.63.

Besides a beautifully executed tourbillon escapement that occupies the upper part of the dial (it is in fact the movement’s mainplate that serves as a dial), the M65.63’s main point of interest is the pair of cylindrical balance-springs — via World Watch Review

The house, designed by TheHeder Partnership, is situated on a typical suburban plot and is framed between two edge gables. The house is based on a contemporary study of the archetype the gable house which is widely spread in SA, Australia and other countries. This type is usually a single story house connected to the ground with two side gables and a central entrance with a thatched pitch roof. This house takes these “classic” elements and adapts them to our times — via ArchDaily

YN-13 House, designed by Morris Sato Studio, is organized on its site as three independent volumes enclosing a courtyard-like space with a swimming pool at its center. The biased cut of the main house’s pitched roof and its protruding corners underscore primary views of the landscape and ocean. Conceived as a buoyant mass and inspired by historic Japanese residential structures in Kyoto and Kanazawa, the house’s unique siding design of western red cedar vertical battens and clapboard merge with the standing seams of the stainless steel roofing to visually unify the wall and roof surfaces — via ArchDaily

The journey down a winding road and thru a pine tree forest ends at the Buisson Residence, designed by Robert Gurney Architect. Situated on a grass knoll and commanding views of Lake Anna in central Virginia, the house emerges as a long, white painted brick wall with a copper clad volume cantilevered above the wall — via ArchDaily
