Yellow Treehouse Restaurant / Pacific Environments



It’s not often that a commission to design a treehouse is offered, so when Colenso BBDO - on behalf of Yellow Pages briefed Pacific Environments Architects for a ‘reality’ TV advert for an off-the-wall functioning restaurant, Pacific Environments jumped at the opportunity. Working alongside Tracey Collins and her team , the idea was to source all products and services through Yellow Pages listings (the book, online and mobile). It has paid us to be in Yellow - that’s how we were chosen and we are getting a great profile as a result.

LIP Clockworks



The retro-futuro watches from Lip look like they were designed in the 1950's for the flying car age of the 2000's. The brand was recently relaunched, and the Mythic (left) and Fridge (right) are two watches in the new line. They are available at Watchisimo.

Hole 19 – Golfclub St. Oswald / x Architekten



The golf course as an integrated design landscape and topography nestles up to the soft downs of the Mühlviertel. The club house merges with the landscape and integrates consistently into the natural surroundings, almost being completely absorbed by it. Its outer and inner rooms are designed as a seamless transition into the golf course and become one with the surrounding sports grounds. The inner court offers possibilities for multi-functional activities in a sheltered atmosphere - as a garden for visitors as well as a location for events and award ceremonies. Towards the south west the court opens up into a covered terrace as far as the driving range. On the northern side, it serves as a reception area for players returning from the 18th Hole. The inner court presents itself as the “19th Hole” and the club house as the “19thGreen” of the golf course and they resemble the Start as well as the Finish in the movement of club members and visitors.

Im gonna get these! Nike Killshot Vintage



Originally conceived almost thirty years ago, the original Nike Killshot was marketed as a racquetball and squash type court shoe. A shoe with a low-profile stance, the Killshot seen here features a combination suede and mesh-upper as its revival in 2009 also includes a vintage distressed treatment. Two colorways in clean, simple colors are seen here which will release sometime in the second half of April.
