The Blackline : Ultimate Urban Utility Bicycle by Team CHI
After designing and developing for months, MNML x Method Bicycle (Team CHI) has released The Blackline, an ultimate utility bicycle especially designed for Oregon Manifest Bike Design Challenge.
The design of this urban vehicle was inspired by the City of Broad Shoulders, it carries a spirit and ready for just about anything. The name itself was taken from Chicago’s iconic elevated train lines that run non-stop throughout the city because this bike will give you the freedom to get anywhere in between. It’s tough yet refined, the design has been carefully thought to make it just the ideal for cyclists or urban city dwellers.
Designers : MNML and Method Bicycle (Team CHI) for The Bike Design Project
This bike boasts custom Helios smart handlebar with integrated LED headlight and side blinkers that utilize GPS enabled turn-by-turn navigation, it keeps you safe while navigating urban grid. When you reach your destination, the location of your bike can be securely tracked using a connected smartphone app. The maintenance free drive train uses a sealed 3-speed SRAM hub which is originally designed to endure extreme conditions of rural Africa along with indestructible belt drive that is able to withstand from daily commute to harsh winters.
The Blackline also features multi-configure cargo system that stores a U-lock in discreet, it is also equipped with removable waterproof panniers that have stow-away shoulder straps where you can tote your gear from one place to another. Taking the lesson from Ferris Bueller, this bike has a ready-for-anything cargo system which can be configured to help get you to museum, a street festival, ballpark, etc.

Forest House by Garret Cord Werner
Garret Cord Werner have designed a contemporary home near Vancouver, Canada.
Project description
The architecture & interiors of this new home design by Garret Cord Werner represents a high quality of new construction on a modest budget.
Over 20 ft. high concrete walls frame the dramatic entry into the home that features a floating open riser staircase. The home was designed to maximize light & to make one feel as much a part of the forest surrounding the home as possible.
Oversized sliding glass doors & clear story windows are used to reinforce this inside-out relationship to the garden.
Upstairs, a signature feature of our work is what we call a sky garden. This is an exterior garden that is enclosed & open to the sky. It provides a private green space & a wonderful light filled experience that is not expected on an upper floor.

Waiatarua House by Hamish Monk Architecture
Hamish Monk Architecture designed the Waiatarua House in Auckland, New Zealand.
Project description
The brief was for a new house on a challenging, steep site in a bush clad creek gully. One of the design challenges was to insert a bold intervention into a sensitive bush reserve whilst still maintaining a sense of modesty and poetic.
The house was designed for a couple in their mid-sixties who had always wanted a house surrounded by nature though not far removed from city life – a place or respite from the speed of city life.
Conceived as a series of sculptural components, the design plays on purity and scale of the program articulated through three simple elemental forms that step down the site towards the creek – the roof of one floor creating a level platform for the next.
The exterior is black stained timber and appears as a dark silhouette behind the veil of green foliage provided by the trees. The design intentionally does not try to compete or mimic the wild beauty and intricacy expressed in surrounding natural environment, but rather assumes quiet, understated position in contrast – a reductivist idiom, stripped of excessive articulation and noise.
From the point of entry the house offers a range of spatial experiences across the width of the floorplate; transitioning from an almost subterranean position in the landscape to an elevated point perched amongst tree canopies.
The parti for the interior explores a sterotomic spatial diagram, where the overall volume of the house is carved to accommodate vertical circulation and a number of functional overlays. Rooms are served by, and branch out from a vertical circulation shaft that runs the full height of the house.
Bleached, buffed and then oiled to accentuate grain American oak panelling is applied to ceilings and walls to create a singular materiality and serve as a counterpoint to the exterior.
The top floor accommodates a small study nook at the top of the stair landing. An oblique geometric screen orientates views and allows natural light to permeate this area without unwanted views to the neighbouring property.
