This underground Swiss house from Christian Muller Architects.  

Freshome is worth checking out, though time-consuming — they post sometimes dozens of projects a day!  Ex:

“Urban Eco Masterplan” for an apartment complex in ALBANIA:

 Kajen Public Space Benches. I don’t generally get excited about street furniture, but aren’t these kind of perfect?

And I can’t find the Japanese dental clinic, but if YOU’VE got time, it’s worth a search. My coffee break is over.

Martin Creed’s neon installation on the old (now Rennie-renewed) Wing Sang building in Chinatown.

Let’s face it, developer-commissioned public art for the DTES begs to be greeted with skepticism.  But in this (and to a lesser extent, the giant Stan Douglas photo re-creation of the Woodward’s riots, for the lobby of the new Woodward’s building), at least the mood feels right — half-determined, half-despairing message, spoken through gritted teeth. I think it’s actually quite beautiful.
