Brooks + Scarpa breaks with local convention at Alma Switch House in California
Architecture studio Brooks + Scarpa has created a three-storey Manhattan Beach house that capitalises on views and indoor-outdoor living while avoiding standard tactics used in the area's housing stock.
The residence, called Alma Switch House, sits on a slender, gently sloping lot just a few blocks from the Pacific Ocean in southern California. It was designed by Los Angeles-based Brooks + Scarpa for a couple with three young children.
The house is meant to depart from the norm in Manhattan Beach, where strict ordinances and codes have led to "typical, repeated housing typologies" dominated by solid, blocky forms and tacked-on balconies.

Meticulously Sculpted Books by Brian Dettmer Explore the Inner Workings of Information
What is the value of knowledge? A coffee shop latte easily costs six dollars or more these days, but peruse any used book sale and you’ll find classics of literature and science for mere cents—published works that have had an indelible impact on culture.
In many cases, mass production has rendered the value of books—as objects—at pennies. Used bookstores with buy-back policies often play a vital role in simply being able to properly recycle or dispose of volumes that are no longer salable. Hundreds of millions of books are tossed each year, whether due to overstock, age, or damage, which is...
