a small space: cabin in a loft
Rather than dividing up the space in this brooklyn loft with walls, architect Terri Chiao decided to create small houses within houses. The cabin in a loft is a two bedroom space in Bushwick, Brooklyn that features a small cabin and a treehouse, integrated into the interior. The two enclosed spaces serve as the loft’s sleeping quarters each with their own semi-private garden space tucked away form the main living space. The cabin is the master bedroom, located on the same floor as the rest of the loft, while the treehouse is the second bedroom, elevated off the ground allowing room for a dining room underneath.

A bit of the ole’ Technicolor ATM for your morning. I love seeing the personification of peoples’ need to express themselves. Sometimes it happens to be on an object that was an eyesore in the first place. I love the layers.
Taken: near Bushwick Ave. and Moore St.

Blogger Miss Heather put out a call to have some Photoshop fun with the big sign hanging outside Bushwick’s supermarket-to-condos conversion The Knick, and one reader irked by the Are You Bushwick? campaign (yes, that part’s real) came up with the above.

“Power of the internet, man!” On Friday the 13th, a police raid ensued at an ‘arts & activism collective’ located in Brooklyn, NY including pepper spray & tear gas, followed by the filming of this video. I’m interested to see how viral this vid gets? It seems too ridiculous for this undercover cop to respond so cooly, but I guess anything can happen at a venue, namely one designated the Surreal Estate.
Developing story here.
