Torngasok Cultural Centre

While one might certainly expect to find beautiful modern buildings in Toronto, Nain seems less expected. Saunders Architecture has drafted the following stunning plans for the Torngasok Cultural Centre in the Inuit community, which is the northenmost town in my province and the administrative capital of the autonomous Nunatsiavut Government. The Centre is expected to be completed in 2013 and will include exhibition space, an artist studio, auditorium, gift shop and cafe. Images via Saunders Architecture.

Cabin

Spring is in the air so it's time to start bugging Katie again for a cabin. I think this one will get past the screening stage. Image from themoderncabin.

Theatres

There's something about the theatres and concert halls of the past. So glam. Via Bippity.

Love?

As the pendulum swings back to considering a renovation to love our current home, I'm curious, could a renovation like this one be completed on our salt box? Three stories would certainly solve our space issues. Image via Robert Mellin.

Alley

Like a ladder, Duckworth and Water Streets in St. John's town are linked by alleyways. The hills of our home make alleys more staircases than places to unload wares for funky shops. If I worked downtown, in a big city, I imagine I'd cut through an alley just like this one with a danish in hand to get from one office to another for a conference call, or to escape midday to a park to eat a chicken, mushroom and havarti panini.
