Striking Exteriors to Inspire Your Next Remodel Photos | Corten Steel Railing

A viewing platform is set 10 metres above the ground at the summit of the staircase, where small peepholes in the tall balustrades frame views over the pastoral landscape.

Engaging their daughters in the importance of art, he explains, was a priority for him and Celine. The kids chose their own pieces for their area, and at least one of his daughters inherited his entrepreneurial genes. “At the age of eight, she developed her own app, Art Before 12, a platform for kids to sell their own art,” he says. Dad may have provided business guidance, but the creative was all her own, and she attended every business meeting.

I find a corner with an outlet for my two chargers, refill my water bottles, and use the bathroom, confident that neither the librarian, the retiree in the armchair, nor the fourth grader and her tutor will steal my board. I return to my station and sit on the floor; the exposed gray brick grabs my sweaty shirt as I lean against the wall. I consider the rest of the route. I double-­check the location of Jim’s Steaks in Philadelphia, my ultimate goal. I email, I stare out the window in contemplation—the idle time that people spend recharging electric cars starts to make sense. There are plenty of constructive ways to fill 90 minutes.

Other projects include a dusty-pink concrete extension to north London house, lining walls of Japanese-styled apartment in London with rustic clay, using textured surfaces for a "wine cave" beneath a south London kitchen showroom, and a leather-lined dressing room in a refurbished residence.

Bronze figurines from Persia contrast with 20th century sketches by Lebanese artist Douaihy, disrupting the idea that Greek-Roman statue work is the sole reference when it comes to life drawing.

But Parenteau wasn’t crazy about the tiny, narrow galley kitchen that was cut off from the rest of the rooms. Or that the front door opened directly into the dining room. The house had only a few small windows, and the garage blocked southern light, making the interiors even darker. Although the residence was on a big corner lot, it had no indoor-outdoor connection to its setting.

In addition, the extra heavy, marine-grade acrylic fabric — with a 50+ UPF rating — was specially engineered to provide optimal shade for US soldiers during WWII. It should suit you just fine.

Just getting the Sunfish and its support gear into position inside the enormous concrete building that housed one of the crippled reactors took two days. Four separate teams took turns setting up the control panel, cable drum, and other equipment the robot would need to function. Even in full protective bodysuits, each group of workers could spend only a few minutes inside the structure, working by the light of portable electric lamps amid a thicket of machinery, pipes, and catwalks. When one team absorbed its maximum permitted daily dose of radiation, it was replaced by another group. Matsuzaki himself made two forays inside to put the final touches on the Sunfish, sweating inside his face mask and bodysuit in the summer heat, his nerves jumping each time his portable monitor dinged to indicate he’d received another increment of his allowable radiation dose.

Scrubba Wash Bag: If you’re miles away from the nearest laundromat and need to clean some clothes in a hurry, check out the Scrubba Wash Bag ($49.95). The pocket-sized bag weighs less than 5 ounces, produces a machine-quality wash in three minutes, and is twice as effective as hand washing.

Now that engineers say they have found the fuel, officials of the government and the utility that runs the plant hope to sway public opinion. Six and a half years after the accident spewed radiation over northern Japan, and at one point seemed to endanger Tokyo, the officials hope to persuade a skeptical world that the plant has moved out of post-disaster crisis mode and into something much less threatening: cleanup.
