Beach Residence, Sullivan Island by Huff + Gooden Architects LLC
Located on a well-populated barrier island, the design breaks away from prevailing beach house typology and finds its clues for development in other ways.
Conceptually, the house created by Sullivan Island by Huff + Gooden Architects LLC consists of three parts: a latticed screen, a cube comprising the living area, and a linear bedroom/core element completing the composition.
The site is located in front of three WW2 bunkers. These sentinels have presided over this former military reservation for decades. The house continues this posture and resides near the edge of the beach providing both a reprieve from and connection to the beach beyond. The house is on axis with the bunkers and completes the formation as viewed from the beach.

Hidden Radio by John Van Den Nieuwenhuizen
Australian designer <a href=” />John Van Den Nieuwenhuizen sums up the intuitive nature of his Hidden Radio. The Hidden Radio is completely button-less, requiring you to twist, lift or push it instead to manipulate the volume.
The product attempts to be silent both visually and functionally by having the cap in the downward position.
By lifting up the cap the user proportionally increases the volume. The further the cap goes up the louder the sound gets. To tune the radio you simply rotate the cap and receive feedback of tuning quality via the LED on the front.

Radiohead’s ‘Nude’
James Houston’s haunting remix of Radiohead’s Nude is made of a ZX Spectrum, a Scanjet 3c, an ancient scanner and a rackful of ruined hard drives.
This song came about as a call for remixes by Radiohead for “Nude.” Houston notes that most of the entries were lame, and he wanted to do something a little different that fit in the theme/alternate song title offered (Bad Ideas: Don’t Get Any). And he also came up with this video, which has an awesome retro, Daft Punk-ish Human After All vibe.

Constant Garden Speakers by Annika Ushio and Vanessa Satele
Thats the kind of object I’d love to have on my desk. The idea from designers Annika Ushio and Vanessa Satele from Umea Design School is to provide a device not only capable of playing music but also to be programmed as a desktop personal organiser. It’s designed in rubber, and each of those Shrek-ear-like fronds holds a mini speaker that also lights up with LED magic.

Vinyl Sleeve Heads
A FaceBook group has started a new amazing trend called “Sleeveface”. The concept is pretty simple: take a picture of yourself holding a vinyl album cover in front of your face and post it on the web for everyone to see. The result is always funny and very artistic. That made me want to dust off my old vinyls and give them a new life. So if your turntable is broken, you know what’s left to do.
