Sprinkler-Lighting Systems for your Garden - 2011-11-29 18:09:04-05
Sprinklers are a given when it comes to the upkeep of your garden but Patricia Trait offers them with another twist. Her Sprinkler-Lighting systems come with lighting which should be neat while offering lighted pathways for home gardens especially during the night. The lamps used are solar powered so you don't have to worry about racking up more problems as far as your energy bill is concerned. The system can be used to provide either light or water and can also retract into the ground just in case you have kids frequently playing by your lawn. At least with Trait's design, sprinklers can be maximized. Not only are they used for watering, they now light up your pathways as well. Via Sprinkler-Lighting Systems for your Garden

Scientists Create A True Magic Mirror

Posted: 29 Nov 2011 07:52 AM PST

If you had any doubts regarding the direction in which technology is headed, you can lay that to rest. Whether you like it or not, it is going to creep into every corner of your home at one point of time. And yes, this would include your bathroom. Researchers at New York Times Lab have created something of a Snow White style magic mirror that would tell you anything from what the weather is like outside to how a particular tie would suit you. That’s not all. It is sound as well as gesture driven(thanks, Kinect) and allows you to surf the web, send emails, or even flip through your wardrobe.

See how this could work in the retail sector.

TIME magazine has chosen this as one of the 50 best inventions of 2011.

Sigh, what will they think of next? Urine controlled video games? Oh, wait, that’s been done…

It would be fascinating to see what these guys bring to the table in the near future.

Washington Square Plaza \ estudioOCA

This study for the treatment of the future subway extension to North Beach takes into consideration the historic value of the neighborhood and existing park, and attempts to create an improved pedestrian experience while minimizing the impact on the community. The proposed plaza replaces a small, inaccessible landscaped area and a short section of Powell Street, creating a unified pedestrian plaza containing the primary subway entrance, public seating, a public lawn, and outdoor dining areas for the existing restaurants. Views down Powell Street to the bay are maintained.

The removal of existing vegetation required for construction of the subway provides new opportunities for the creation of a vibrant pedestrian plaza at this important intersection. The design of the new plaza aims to open up views of the existing commercial buildings and act as a counterpart to the existing park, providing a more urbanized environment and focusing on the interaction of the public. Two seating areas provide spaces to relax, large enough to allow for lying down in the sun or for groups to congregate. These concrete seats loop around the site, their shapes conforming to studied circulation patterns, and form two grass islands with flowering trees. This provides seating to view the show of public life.

Closing the short section of Powell Street allows for the expansion of outdoor dining options at the existing restaurants. Between the dining and the loop seating at the subway entrance, a large flex space is formed to allow for the inevitable and the unexpected. Taking advantage of this busy intersection, this space can be given over to public markets, small concerts, or protests. The plaza is built entirely of white concrete, allowing this public space and the events to be the main focus. During the day, bright magenta chairs are put out, the color contrasting with the rest of the plaza, signifying their public use.

Retro Poster Prints

Posted: 28 Nov 2011 08:02 AM PST

Recent sojourns took us to this neat Etsy shop, ReStyle, which has a fantastic range of fresh poster art prints for us to adorn our walls with. Creator of the posters, Jan Skácelik, of Olomouc, Czech Republic, uses clean lines and layouts, showing a clear background in Graphic Design and Illustration. Along with an unexplained adoration of pugs, Jan Skácelik, or 'Handz' as Etsy customers might know him, has a love of Scandinavian design, mid century modern. A number of his posters celebrate vintage imagery, including a rich collection by Stig Lindberg, Cathrineholm, Marianne Westman, Gustavsberg porcelain, and many more for us to feast our eyes on.

Browsing through the gallery you will find humorous letterpress inspired prints, sweet messages hidden in eye charts, and slick retro iconography. Many of the prints have extra color options to allow you to match, or clash, the art print with your decor. With so many fun options of typography and punchy background colors to choose from, we think this collection is a sure hit no matter what you want your artwork to say about your home.

For more regular updates from Home Designing, join us on Facebook.

If you are reading this through e-mail, please consider forwarding this mail to a few of your friends who are into interior design. Come on, you know who they are!
