ON the RADAR Exclusive
Rock-star contributor Josiah is taking the lead for today’s post, so mentally prepare yourself for an avalanche of modern architecture, design, film and tunes.
ARCHITECTing
Parsonson Architects from New Zealand comes with an official hotness warning: do not visit this site unless you’ve got ample time to spend there.
We’ve got mad respect for any architect that can pull off this sort of design with site poured concrete.
It’s about time to give a shout-out to Coop 15, a local firm that continues to do very nice work in the northwest.
Architects EAT is doing some very handsome work in Australia
Drop dead gorgeous house after house at Fearonhay.
Wernerfield architecture + design out of Dallas is also doing some clean work
The work of Splyce out of Vancouver B.C. has that warm modern feel we like so well
We have a great deal of respect for the work of Acton Ostry Architects. There work is conventional, solid and they get things built.
Cottamhargrave out of Austin Texas is producing some sharp design worth getting your eyeballs on.
BUILDing
Wanna see a tight website package for a design + build + development team? Check out the Margarido House – these guys are way ahead of most architects.
FURNISHing
Check out Bonluxat for some modern digs.
We’re digging the interior interventions this family has implemented and documented on their website – we especially like the outdoor shower/bathroom.
FILMing
Find yourself some really pleasing moving image-eye candy at Factorylabs. Some good tunes to boot.
While the work is quite nice, what caught our attention is that Susi Leeton Architects displays their work as a slide show rather than as a static website. The experience becomes more about the sequence of images than navigation through a website.
SOUNDing
There’s a couple of new sites for music, check out Mad Decent and ZZK Records.

The videos from factorylabs are extremely well done. Especially like the one about the headphones. Thanks for getting that on MY radar.

check out the link on the top of the Mad Decent site to palladium boots.
The mini documentaries on the explorations page are amazing – not to mention brilliant marketing for a boot company. Instant brand identity.

@Brad – cool video, and some very clever marketing. We’ll be keeping a pulse on that one.

oh, who really has a mezzaluna in their kitchen…

Great collection.
I’m starting to get the feeling that the build blog has some heavy cultural hitters in their shadows. That would explain some things…

Yup, that Parsonson site pretty much blew my day.
