The Sleepbox at Moscow Airport: Comfy Pod for Travelers

We all know how frustrating it is to find yourself stranded in a foreign land, lugging your luggage around while scouting for a nearby hotel. The Sleepbox, billed as the future of urban infrastructure, is a cool conceptual pod that has been installed in the Moscow Airport to fix just such a problem. Developed by Arch Group, it provides a quiet sanctuary for weary travelers who need a space to rest while waiting for their flights.

The Sleepbox at the Sheremetyevo airport in Moscow houses two beds. Here's how it works: users may rent it for as little as 30 minutes to several hours at a time. Offering all the creature comforts you need for a short rest and catnap, the Sleepbox's beds come with warm LED reading lamps. Even as you recharge your body, the unit's electrical sockets will also come in handy for juicing up your cellphones, tablets and laptops.

The folks at Arch Group plan to set up the Sleepbox anywhere it's needed: train stations, bus depots, even at shopping malls. In warmer climates like Singapore, for instance, Arch Group says the Sleepbox can even be rigged outdoors, potentially making it a restful haven for shoppers along Orchard Road.

Punch Bowl Deconstruction


FINALLY!!! The space is being deconstructed and the demolition work has started. I tend to like seeing the space transformed from whatever the occupant was before, to a raw shell space ready for the new life. There is plenty of history with this location and I will detail in depth in the near future as the dust settles. Most of the historic images found for the location are of the east side of the street showing the current Hornet and Mayan Theater, but we found one image of the old Millers Grocery Store that is pretty cool. We will be attempting to bring the building back to the original brick facade that a Big Lots tenant had covered with a metal skin.

Worthington Square


Creative Brief

Provide a hospitality inspired destination grounded in the nostalgic qualities and characteristics of
Worthington Square’s past that have evolved into the modern place. A simplified combination of inviting outdoor street walk spaces for shopping and dinning, and indoor fashionable five star environment
for comfortably escaping into a “retail daycation.” A second home concept, beginning with the
front door carriage house portal transitioning to a great room filled with natural day lighting, inviting seats,
engaging walkways, and unexpected experiences and conversations by the grand fireplace hearth.
Create moments that are distinctive and memorable. Create moments of explorations
and the photo opportunity of a special time. The first steps onto the property are welcoming and reminiscent
of a grand home with a garden court anchored by a fire fountain, ample seating and romantic
lighting. The entries are glowing glass jewels creating transparency into the interior spaces. The entries
are inspired by greenhouse garden architecture that relax the mood and welcomes the patron. The water fountain court is alfresco simplicity, with a splash of ambient sound and reflectance with natural materials and
simple elegance. The Grand Hallways set a natural stage for retail shops that inspires window shopping
and casual circulation. Comfortable seating areas provide perfect people watching and transitional areas.
A Great Room anchors the community spaces with a grand fireplace and hearth for gathering around and watching the big game, or warming the soul with a good friend or catching up on email in a comfortable space.
The Children’s Garden is a parent’s paradise with ample opportunity for the kids to playfully explore an abstracted topiary garden full of adventure, while its comfortable seating area offers a spot for the stroller moms to congregate.
Fun Project that is just getting started:

Plan Study
From fast food to fine dining, business is up at restaurants
By Kevin P. Casey, for USA TODAY
The National Restaurant Association reports same-store sales rose in September for the first time in six months.
America's appetite for eating out is starting to rumble again.

Three years after the $580 billion restaurant industry saw its harshest downturn in decades, there are signals that the worst may be over for an industry that suffered as people saved by eating out less.

"The glow is off the idea that cooking is fun," says Ron Paul, president of Technomic, a research specialist. "Consumers are returning to their old habits." Restaurant business is up in all sectors — from fast-food to casual to tablecloth. The dust began to clear in the third quarter, Paul says, when overall industry same-store sales went positive, following three consecutive years of negative numbers.

Families with kids started visiting restaurants in greater numbers this summer — up 1% following a three-year decline, reports researcher NPD Group.

The National Restaurant Association reports same-store sales rose in September for the first time in six months. "It's a substantially better environment than it's been for years," says Hudson Riehle, the trade group's research chief.

It's been a slog. The industry tried everything from $5 sandwiches to $10 pizzas. The driver hasn't been deals, but the economy. With about 1 million jobs added in the private sector in the past 10 months, more folks are eating out, Riehle says. More business travel and tourism are also helping.

Some are still adjusting. Tim Hortons and Ted's Montana Grill are closing units. The parent of Charlie Brown's Steakhouse filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. But things are improving:

•Upscale. After double-digit declines in 2009, steak house Morton's posted positive same-store sales for the first three quarters of 2010. "The worst is behind us," says CEO Christopher Artinian.

•Midscale. Applebee's same-store sales rose 3.3% in the third quarter. "I'm encouraged by what I'm seeing," says Michael Archer, president. "This has been the most difficult environment I've seen in 30 years." In early 2009,Ruby Tuesday stock was down to $1 a share and same-store sales had fallen double-digits. Now, its stock is above $12 and same-store sales were up 1.3% in the most recent quarter. "There's been a change in momentum throughout the industry," says CEO Sandy Beall.

•Down-scale.Hardee's, hit hard by the recession, is seeing a lift, with same-store sales up 6.8%. "From what we're seeing," says marketing chief Brad Haley, "it looks like we're in a recovery."

Queen of Love

studioLEMONADE is quite adept at meeting the needs of many a princess (see proof below). Consequently, it's no surprise that the "Queen of Love" chair was a big hit here. Imported from Italy, the "Queen of Love" arm chair is the modern and ironic revisiting of the Louis XV style. Made of polyethylene (eco-friendly) and weather resistant, this chair is perfect for indoor or outdoor use. Shown in the red passion color.
