From the architect. The house is located in Son Puig, a residential area near the city center of Palma de Mallorca (Balearic Islands, Spain). It is on a trapezoidal corner plot, which determines from the outset the complex insertion of the program. A good orientation towards the south, and views to the Son Puig forest, finally determined what would be the “face” of the house. The proposal sets back the building as much as possible towards its northern boundary, to generate a bright and spacious void that houses the pool, terraces and garden. The valley of pine and almond trees which the house faces without any obstacles, and the decision to raise the ground level eight feet over the street level, give this home good views and a luminosity that bathes the interior of each of its rooms.
A house with clean and concise forms sits on a capri limestone platform. The main facade of the house is rendered unique by a cubic body that turns onto the forest views, as a privileged balcony. The architect has placed the master bedroom of the house in this space facing south. Behind it, facing east, is the bathroom, from which a large window allows one to contemplate sunrise and the lines of an antique Majorcan dependency, which contrast with the contemporary architecture of the house.

WOOL by Hugh Howey is the story of mankind clawing for survival, of mankind on the edge. The world outside has grown unkind, the view of it limited, talk of it forbidden.

"From the makers of All.I.Can comes the new feature film: INTO THE MIND. Blur the lines between dream state and reality, as you perceive the world through the minds of many. Into the Mind contemplates the experiences passed between mentors and peers to paint a philosophical portrait of human kind. What drives us to overcome challenge? How do we justify risk? What forces are at the core of a mountain addiction? Unique athlete segments over a multitude of mountain sport genres depict the connectivity of Earth, and window into never seen before moments. Explore how we begin our perception of self, construct the foundations of confidence, and are ultimately led up the path of self-actualization.
As Buddha once said, “The mind is everything. What you think you become.”
Into The Mind is about becoming."

We do not believe in ourselves until someone reveals that deep inside us something is valuable, worth listening to, worthy of our trust, sacred to our touch. Once we believe in ourselves we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight or any experience that reveals the human spirit.
MJ v1.0 The first jacket that allows the user to create music through motion and touch sensors with a mobile app. (Machina)
Imagine being able to create music by using your body as an interface. Imagine being able to extend that jacket to make it work not only with music, but with whichever devices you have: A Kinect, an iPod, Nike Plus. We believe that the way we interact with our clothing is changing; clothing should not only be a way of covering your body while helping you get laid, our relationship with clothing should be much more than that: clothing should be an extension of our body, and we’re using wearable technology to do that.
A self initiated book about the Universe by Amanda Mocci.
She is a freelance Graphic Designer and illustrator from Montreal Quebec.
"The Universe is something that constantly fascinates me and I thought that this would be the perfect topic to work with. My goal was to strike the viewer's interest graphically without boring them with an overload of information. The book is broken down into 5 parts: Introduction, Big Bang, Galaxies & Nebulae, The Stars, and Asteroids & Comets. Each section is separated by the accordion fold spine. The expanding spine symbolizes our Universe in constant expansion."
