Saw a man painting this boarding bright lime/yellow green next to a ladder on route to our favourite coffee shop. Loved the reflection and angles. Had to take a picture to share.

A housing project with a difference







Just stumbled upon this stroke of ethical wonder by Dan Phillips and his company Phoenix Commotion.

This is a low-income housing project, created using salvage and scrap using items like cans, bones, picture frame corners, broken tiles, license plates and wine corks! Would love to see the place in real life the detail looks amazing. Another victory for sustainable design!
