Like many traditional farmhouses and cottages we see across the New England landscape, this house has a foundation visibly anchored in the earth, a wood-skinned volume supported by that foundation, an economy of form, and a central hearth. It is made of practical, local materials, put together by builders who live in the community. The house is sited, shaped, and organized with a respect for the sun, the climate, the topography, the road, and the community. And it is unapologetically of its own time [John McLeod Architect] — via ArchDaily

The Nascafe Racer is based on a Harley-Davidson FXSTB Softail Nightrain, although you’d never guess. The motorcycle was stripped down to the last nut and bolt, and given an aggressively lowered front end and a 240mm rear tire, with huge braking rotors on both the front and rear. — via Bike EXIF
