Since Fredrik Pål Persson was going all in, he knew that the CB500 would have to be one of the Malmö-based PAAL Motorcycles shop’s best builds to date. A bike that truly represents what we stand for as a brand here at PAAL,
he says. Design, craftsmanship, quality and performance

Flavio Castro sees your windows and does you one better. The Brazilian architect and founder of FCstudio designed himself a one-bedroom house in São Paulo where nearly all of the walls open to the outside. The aptly named Box House is a house that’s shaped like a box. But what the simply shaped home lacks in geometric grandeur it makes up for in indoor-outdoor magic — via Curbed

Julian von Oheimb — who operates as One Way Machine — has a knack for turning Harleys into subtle, tasteful customs, and his anniversary build is a stunning example. Called Quartermile, it’s a dark and minimal bobber imbued with drag bike style — via Bike EXIF
Measuring a practical 184 square metres, the home features classic post and beam construction designed by Richard Pleger, a colleague of Richard Netura in Southern California. The home was constructed by OL Raney in 1966. It’s since been restored, with attention to preserving the original cast concrete tiles on the fireplace, the working thermador in-wall bathroom heaters, and the unique closets and hardware. If a cheerful mid century modern in a warm climate sounds just right to you, 218 East Country Club Drive is on the market now for $437,000 — via Curbed
Boasting the expansive interior spaces and indoor-outdoor integration for which A Quincy Jones is known, this 1951 this two-bedroom, two-bath home tucked in the hills above Brentwood features restored post-and-beam construction and beautifully sloping roof lines. At 100 square metres, the home may not be as large as Jones’ more famous designs, but this modest abode still brings that mid century charm with a liveable, airy vibe. If this early mid century gem looks just right for you, 860 Hanley Avenue is on the market now for $2,395,000 — via Curbed

This amazing Kawasaki, however, first surfaced two years ago at The Quail Gathering. And it’s only just been shot properly. But that’s okay, because the bike took master builder Mike LaFountain of Raccia Motorcycles seven years to complete—and nearly broke him in the process. Mike has created a stunning replica of the ultra-rare W1R, which was Kawasaki’s late 1960s equivalent of the legendary Matchless G45 production racer — via Bike EXIF

Looking a bit like an architectural Transformer in the middle of taking on a new form, this Highland Park home by the firm Urban Operations takes a highly structured, geometric approach to occupying a hillside. There are no organic forms or curves following the contours of the land; rather, the house seems to exist in tension with the topography that surrounds it, as if it’s ready to fold into a different shape altogether in the event of a landslide or earthquake. The three-bedroom, 3-bath house is now up for sale by Urban Operations architect John Southern for $1.3 million — via Urbanist

Architect Gerardo Broissin designed a transparent treehouse that floats among the trees and vegetation in a Mexico City backyard.
Built from thick panes of glazing, the 7 square metre structure is a literal glass house—gabled roof and all. Broissin designed it to be completely transparent, save for the support structure underneath — via Curbed

As you might have guessed, this Buff & Hensman time capsule in Eagle Rock, California has never been on the market since it was constructed back in 1968. Someone commissioned it, had it built and loved it for a long, long time. That someone
was Omar Paxson, a playwright, director and professor in the Occidental College theatre arts department. In fact, that college is just a short distance away. Not cheap at $1,025,000 — via WowHaus

This towering five-bedroom, five-bath home in North Carolina was custom built in 1975 by Winston-Salem resident Dr John Hayes. The binuclear layout features two separate wings with an entry hall at the nucleus, a way to organise the home’s sprawling 530 square metre. Renovations in 2013 updated and repaired problem areas, but left the house’s original California redwood panelling, imperial plaster walls, and oak parquet floors. 2831 Galsworthy Drive is on the market now for $765,000 — via Curbed

This box loom is designed for use with a rigid heddle or for card weaving. It can be used on a table or on your lap, and the work can be dropped at a moment’s notice when something else (kids, pets, etc.) requires attention right now.
The cloth and warp beams are held in slots rather than holes. This makes construction easier, and, as a bonus, you can remove and set aside an unfinished project if something more interesting comes along. Simply release the tension, carefully take out the beams, roll up your project, and secure it with rubber bands.
If you build more than one loom, the recesses on the lower edge allow for easy stacking.
Once you have the laser-cut parts, the rest of the loom can be made with the most basic of woodworking tools. All measurements are in millimetres, but none are so critical that they can’t just be eyeballed — via Make:
Mexican architecture firm Casas de Mexico designed the house around a circular interior courtyard that’s filled with palm trees. The house sits on a former palm grove that was cleared to build the sprawling residence. What remains is a smaller but impeccably groomed yard landscaped with spindly palm trees, green grass, and a placid pool — via Curbed
Scientists from Melbourne’s Bionics Institute and the University of Melbourne believe they can use nanotechnology to deliver restorative drugs to deep within the ear to sufferers of neural hearing loss.

Fondation Le Corbusier (FLC/ADAGP) has celebrated its 50th anniversary with the unveiling of a completed renovation of Le Corbusier’s Nungesser-et-Coli apartment in Paris.

Located at the top of the vibrant Molitor building, the 240-square-meter apartment offers views across Boulogne and Paris — via ArchDaily
The Gianni Botsford Pavilion modernist house in London is reminiscent of Mies Van Der Rohe, but it isn’t just a rerun of that concept. This is an individual piece of architecture in its own right.
