Home Builder Developer - Interior Renovation and Design

What do interior designers do and why do you need one? We put the question to established names and newbies to the business.

We spend most of our life inside spaces. Having a well-designed room, from its structural flow to the quality of furniture you sit on, its ergonomics, how light passes through it and what sort of storage solutions you have in place all help to improves ones quality of life.

An experienced designer will have the spatial knowledge to work with your home as it is, and also be colour and materials literate to advice on any extension work as well as capable of drafting lighting and electrical plans that your builder will be able to understand, says Angela Connolly, president of The Interiors Association, which has some 200 members. She also runs her own practice, Conbu Interior Design.

She suggests an initial meeting with a client to go through expectations and brief and suggests the client brings along a mood board of visual ideas he or she likes as well as a list of likes and dislikes.

This helps get a better idea of a clients style, she explains, counselling clients to factor in textures, surfaces, colours and acoustics to the list.

We reinvent space, says Philippa Buckley of Studio 44. In a recent project in Sandymount she upgraded a 102sq m (1,100sq foot) three-bedroom home by taking out the chimneybreast and every interior wall of its pokey layout to add valuable space.

By doing so she accommodated a guestWC and cloakroom downstairs, hidden behind a curved wall, created an open plan living area and installed an RSJ (rolled steel joist) along the back wall that enabled opening up the whole back of the house to bring in the light and transform an unloved garden into a bone fide outside room, complete with awning.

The loss of the chimneybreast meant that upstairs she could accommodate a second en suite and a laundry room, complete with bespoke, vented doors, removing ambient noise from the open plan ground floor. The three-bedroom, one bathroom property became a two-bed, but both doubles now have an en suite. Its removal added an additional 1.5 cubic metres of storage to the kitchen downstairs.

This kind of spatial addition and subtraction helps us reinvent how we live,Buckley says.

Its about bringing a fresh perspective, seeing your space through fresh eyes, highlighting potential and adding functionality to your home, says Risn Lafferty of Kingston Lafferty Design. You should call in an interior designer when you fall out of love with your home. They should offer new ideas and open your eyes to its possibility, to make a space specific to your needs. The most value is in the ideas they offer.

A recent KLD example involved a mother in Malahide whose kids had flown the nest.

The house was no longer a family home. Empty nesters dont need as many rooms so we joined rooms together. A dining-cum-reading nook replaced the childrens den, a place where she could now stretch out and read the newspaper. A box room, for example, can become a luxurious walk-in wardrobe.

Hlne Broderick excels at channelling the classic contemporary look, which works especially well in period properties. She recently reimagined an apartment in a Georgian house in Dublin 4, reopening the interconnecting rooms so that the living and main accommodation linked together like a de luxe hotel suite with dual aspect light from the rooms tall sash windows.

Taking inspiration from New York townhouse designs, she concealed the kitchen, closing it off from the living room by shuttering its breakfront custom cabinetry. This allowed its owners to enjoy the period beauty of the living room without being distracted by visible cooking clutter.

You need to fully understand a clients lifestyle to tailor a scheme to their needs, she says explaining that this includes asking a lot of questions, some of a rather personal nature, like asking the parents of one child if they plan to have more, for example, for this will impact on the number of bedrooms the family needs.

Its also important to meet both halves of a couple to ensure both parties preferences are factored in. If they are outdoors people they may have a lot of sporting kit that needs to be accommodated.

Fully understanding the budget available is also crucial. A client may have a wish list that doesnt match his or her budget, for example. Broderick works on a fixed fee basis on bigger projects and on an hourly rate on smaller projects.

A great introduction to how interior designers work is to have one come and do your paint colours for you. Its a smart move for a new colour palette can transform a home.

People have a fear of paint but its not permanent, says Elaine Verdon, who, having done up her own home, moved from a career in marketing to training at the Dublin Institute of Design to better understand planning and flow.

Having set up her decor business, Leo + Cici, two years ago, she offers a two-hour in-home consultation to go though colour palettes for 290, ex travel. This lets her see the space for herself, determine how much natural light there is, and what colour the floors and internal doors already are.

The colours in art and soft furnishings already in situ are a good indication of the colours the potential client already likes, she explains.

For Verdon it means she gets to spend time with the client without them having to invest significantly and usually leads to further work. Its also a very affordable way of fashioning up a space if youre planning on putting it up for sale. General design consultations cost from 500.

Hiring an interior designer should save you time and/or money, Angela Connolly says. He or she will be able to supply products and materials that work with your space and be able to have the works executed by trusted tradespeople whose work they can stand over.

Some designers have a signature style, so if youre hiring them then thats the style you can expect to get, she explains.

But first its important to establish a budget, she says. You can employ one on a per hour basis, on a percentage or on a project basis. Expect to pay upwards of 100 per hour, ex VAT.

A contract is also vital. It should signal involvement, whats been agreed.

Why do we need them?

They will reduce the stress levels, save you time, make sure the project comes in on budget and to deadline, Connolly says.

If this pandemic has taught us anything, its that we live for experiences.

Its why we travel to far-flung locations, go to restaurants and bars, visit museums, and attend events.

Design plays a definitive role in creating experiences. But as Covid-19 continues to hammer the world, designers across industries are rethinking the way we live, work, and play in the era of new expectations. Ahead, we speak to Piya Thamchariyawat, the creative head honcho of EDG Design, the firm responsible for drinking hotspot Barbary Coasts beautiful, transportive aesthetic, on how she responds to the changing world, and how uncertainties are opportunities for creativity.

Can you tell us more about your personal design journey?I was 6 or 7 when my mother put me in a theatre play. I wasnt excited about performing, but the design of the stage blew my mind. I started designing stage sets made out of cardboard boxes for my paper dolls, then put on a small play for my little brother and cousins.

As a child, I dreamt of becoming an artist, so I headed to Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok to pursue fine arts and print-making to the dismay of my parents and family members who were in the public service.

Post-graduation, I had a chance to visit friends in San Francisco, where I fell in love with the city and decided to reinvent myself in the States. Driven by a keen interest in film, cinematography, and set design, I went back to school to have a full training in interior design.

Youve been with EDG for over 15 years. This kind of loyalty is rare in todays world. What kept you going?There are many reasons why I think EDG Design is the best place for me and my career. I joined EDG as a junior designer in 1999 and I loved my job from day one. Its so exciting to see how big weve grown from a 14-person studio in San Francisco to an international team of 40, with offices across California, Singapore and Texas. I have deep respect for our CEO, Jennifer Johanson; she is an ingenious designer, and also an amazing business strategist. She has always had a solid plan for the firm, and always makes me feel integral to that plan.

The opportunity Ive been given to build and run our firm in Asia is very exciting and I love all the challenges it brings. Since our launch in Asia, weve completed 25 projects across Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, Hong Kong and Australia.

Surely thereve been a lot of changes despite being in the same company for over a decade. Can you share with us some of the changes youve had to adapt to professionally?I started working at EDG in California, so being in Asia was quite a challenge for me as communication methods are quite different in these two places. In the US, people are more individually motivated, whereas in Asia we work with more of a group attitude.

There is also the issue of language barriers. However, over the years, I realised the lost in translation is mostly due to different cultural backgrounds, and it is not personal.

What does adaptability mean to you?Change is a way to move forward. It conveys vitality, curiosity, freedom. We should not be afraid of it at all, though I know its easy to say yet hard to do. I believe that we can adapt to anything if we dream big.

What did you wish someone told you when you were just starting out in the design industry?I would quote Italian product designer Achille Castiglioni: If you are not curious, forget it.

What are some of the good things that came out of changes in your life?I spent five years living in Rio de Janeiro. Many people were against leaving my job and security in the US, but I discovered a beautiful place that shaped who I am today. In Brazil, I also turned down a job offer in the design industry because I was too busy with EDG projects. It was a missed opportunity, but on the other hand, all those years of hard work and loyalty have brought me to where I am today at EDG.

What does creativity mean to you?In design, I believe creativity is a sub-product of curiosity, which fuels creative thinking.

How has Covid-19 changed the way you approach design?In the short term, our team will be slightly more generous when sizing public areas; there will be fewer tables in the spaces and an emphasis on hygiene. Nevertheless, a pandemic like this happens once every one hundred years. We will overcome this and dream big again soon.

Sunrooms, sun porchesand sun lounges, they all mean the same thing. It doesnt really matter how you call it, we are talking about a room with large windows, and sometimes even a glass roof called conservatory designed to allow plenty of natural light in.

Sunrooms are normally additions built and adjoined to the side of a house that faces south, the more south-facing exposure you can get the more light and warmth will getinside the room.

If this concept sounds good, we might have just given you an idea for your next home improvement or a fun DIY project! Let us be your source of inspiration and share the following 15 sunroom designs to get you started.

Sunroom with blinds

Image via Homedit

At a first sight, blinds may seem to be against the very concept of sunrooms but if you take a moment to think, you will realize its actually a brilliant idea. Maybe there are moments when you want some privacy.

Its obviously hard to get that when most of the walls are made of glass. Blinds solve this problem elegantly and also improve the looks of the room.

You cant say that they dont go perfectly with the furniture in this photo. The cost of a 1515 ft. sunroom starts at $15,000.

Before we introduce the next design, lets quickly mention some boring, yet absolutely necessary element to consider for your project.

Its important to note that when building a sunroom, in many cases it may be necessary to provide a site plan to obtain various home building permits from your city hall or township. You can turn to 24h Plans to get a custom site plan drawing prepared for your dream home in less than 24 hours by our team of experienced architects and drafters.

This offer is not being advertised anywhere else.

Above ground sunroom with single slope roof

Image via Great Day Improvements

This design is a bit different from all the other sunrooms becauseits high above the ground.

The main advantage is that you get extra space underneath to turn into a deck or patio. Add some outdoor furniture and you will have a place to spend your afternoons shaded by the burning sun.

The frame is made of white aluminum that supports the glass. The room has only 2 outer walls, which can be a bit of an inconvenience if you were looking for even more light.

However, the fact that they are made entirely of windows compensates to a certain extent.

This project is relatively expensive because extra materials and labor hours are needed to build the pillars and the roof. For example, a simple high elevation deck costs at least $4,000.

Make sure to addthe costs of the roof (at least$5 per sq. ft.) and the costs of the windows ($120 for a 37 x 72 inch energy efficient window).

Mansard sunroom

Image viaArchitecture Art Designs

Who said sunrooms must be on the ground floor? Heres a perfect example that the affirmation is false. You keep costs to a minimum if your loft isalready habitable.

Otherwise, you haveto consider a loft conversion and then add windows like the ones you see in the image above. A loft conversion costs at least $25,000 depending on its size, level of insulation, season (labor is cheaper after the summer ends because the demand decreases) etc.

Aluminum sunroom frame with gable roof

Image viaGreat Day Improvements

Heres a big design built on the ground. The frame is made of bronze aluminum and the rest is glass. The windows on the roof are awesome if you live in areas where the sky is usually clear. The floor is made of some kind of natural stone, which costs $10-$30 per sq. ft.

This design allows you to supervise your kids while theyre having fun in the pool. Take a seat in your sunroom and ask your partner to bring a cold beverage because its time to relax.

Besides, you will be able to stay away from the smoke that fills the area at grill parties. Let the men take care of the meat and gather your female friends to have a chat in a smoke free (and children free) zone.

If you are looking for a top of the line aluminum sunroom, expect to pay around $20,000.

Small square sunroom

Image via Architecture Art Designs

Heres a simple squre shaped sunroom design. It looks like its prefabricated, which is good news for your pocket. Its properly lit so that you can use it at night, too.

Privacy might be an issue but you can hire a landscape designer to take care of that (plants, privacy screens, walls etc.) Its a cost effective option for those who madly desire a sunroom but areon a tight budget.

Vinyl sunroom with gable roof

Image viaGreat Day Improvements

This simple gable roof sunroom is perfect for small yards. It doesnt cover a lot of your green space so that your children and pets have enough room to play. The floor is made of stone thus making it basically unusable in cold seasons.

The frame is made of vinyl, meaning that you can buy it as a prefab model.The price of a 108 ft. prefab sunroom with glass walls starts at $15,000 and it goes up with the size and quality of materials.

If you want to turn it in a 4-season sunroom, expect a huge bump in price in the tens of thousands ballpark.

Heres an idea on how to tweak this design to adjust it to all year round sunny weather. Instead of a costly roof, you could opt for a flat one that acts as a deck.

You can add an exterior staircase or you can make an entrance directly from inside the house, whichever works best for your lifestyle. This way, you get a place to get a tan and an area to chill out when its too hot or too rainy.

Sloped glass roof sunroom

Image viaArchitecture Art Designs

This is a sunroom built as a home addition. It offers extreme visibility and this might actually be a problem when the sun shines right on top of the room.

The best weather is when its warm enough to wear T-shirts and shorts without feeling you have to take your clothes off to cool yourself a bit. If temperatures are quite high, you should consider installing blinds or tinted windows.

Sunroom for parties

Image via Homedit

If you are the kind who throws parties every other week, this design is perfect. You need a big table to seat everyone and a lot of natural light if you arent a fan of late night parties.The next time all your relatives are in town, you will have no problems inviting them all over for lunch.

Notice how the design is similar to a dining room. It offers a lot of sunlight and enough privacy at the same time. The industrial chairs establish a contrast with the traditional parts of the design (the fans, the table, the wooden frame etc.)

The floor is made of natural stone thus making the sunroom unusable during the winter. You have to choose another material and at least insulate the floor ($1.10 per sq. ft. of standard insulation).

Greenhouse-style sunroom

Image via Homedit

This design is perfect for people who like growing all sorts of plants that require a lot of sunlight. Sometimes, putting the plants outside is not a viable option because of improper weather conditions.

Having a sunroom solves this problem especially if its the 4-season type. You can make the sunroom look like a very comfortable bit of nature with colorful flowers and cozy sofas.

Your afternoons will definitely become more enjoyable and so will the nights you spend under the clear sky. The sunroom you see in the image is quite large and consequently expensive (tens of thousands of dollars). It would be awesome if you installed some blinds to provide shade during hot days.

Sunroom with fireplace

Image via Homedit

Heres a small sunroom with tiny roof windows. The frame and the ceiling are entirely white giving a sense of calmness to whoever stays there. The fireplace contributes to the overall coziness.

If you live in an area where a real fireplace is totally useless, you can buy an electric one. The rustic aspect is lost but it still warms you up on the inside. Just make sure to build a path for the smoke to get out if you decide to go with the real thing. In this case, you would be forced to equip the room for the winter because if youre going to need a real fireplace, you will haveto find a way to keep the heat in.

Sunroom with small pool

Image via DigsDigs

The best feature of this design is its in-ground small pool. Its not big enough to swimbut youll have some pretty relaxing moments.

The flowers and the tiles suit a certain taste. If thats not really your style, you are free to opt for something modern (for example black and white tiles) or something classic like natural stone. Wood is out of the question for obvious reasons and you have to heat the room properly.

Cubic sunroom

Image via DigsDigs

This design is unique through its simplicity. In spite of being a simple glass cube attached to a house, this sunroom receives maximum amount of natural light.

The photo suggests the sunroom is totally usable in cold weather, probably because of installing a special type of energy efficient glass.

You can use it as a home office or as a quiet place to relax while admiring the nature that surrounds you.

You have to consider the costs related to foundation (building a deck is probably a good choice), insulation, labor and the actual price of the glass.

As for labor, this design is quite unusual and you have to take the time to find the right contractors to put it together becausenot everyone has the skills and vision to build this sunroom.

If you live in a warm area you no longer have to deal with insulation costs, but you might have to think about how to make the structure waterproof (unless you live somewhere in the remote desert and you see rain once a year).

Sunroom gym

Image viaDigsDigs

How awesome is it to have your own personal gym and enjoy a beautifu view while working out? Maybe more of us would exercise regularly if that were the case.

Even though you dont have a view, its still great to have sunlight and fresh air instead of artificial light and A/C. You might feel overwhelmed by the size of this sunroom but you can adapt it as you please. A sunroom this big costs +$50,000, not to mention the priceof the gym equipment. The floor is made of natural stone but you can opt for wood. The problem is that wood suffers damages considering the heavy equipment it supports. You will see scratches and even fissures quite fast. Stone is more durable and it goes well with the mats you see in the picture above.

Minimal sunroom design for yoga

Image viaDigsDigs

Heres a simple sunroom with wooden floor and very big windows. You barely feel separated from the outer world. It looks like the entire design was especially made for yoga practitioners.

Considering that proper oxygenation of the brain is essential during yoga sessions, the large sliding doors provide natural ventilation.

The shade of the wood used for the floor goes well with the color of the frame. This sunroom is either built per-se or a room of the house was modified to meet the criteria.

If the first option is true, you should expect an investment of several tens of thousands of dollars. Dont forget that you absolutely need a permit to build this sunroom and for a permit you have to submit a professionally made site plan.

In the other case, you have to focus your attention on replacing much of the walls surface with glass. It can be a tricky thing if you are dealing with load-bearing walls, which is why you need an architect to review your project.

There is a third option though: buying a prefab sunroom for at least $15,000. You have to prioritize your desires and take a look at your budget before committing to a certain project.

Tuscan sunroom

Image via Houzz

And last, heres an impressive sunroom design thats huge in size and features a pond in the back. For this, you need an architect, a landscape designer, carpenters, pool builders (the water basically falls in an in-ground pool with a system that recirculates it), electricians, plumbers etc.

You have already probably figured that the costs go through the roof. You will pay at least $70,000 but you will get a truly amazing sunroom.

Wall-Mounted Pergolas Market Upcoming Trends, Top Company Analysis and Forecast by 2026 | Cospicon SA, SPRECH, Gibus - The News Brok

Start with a $500 car. Cheaper is fine, but no higher. Then decorate it outrageously. Maybe with a giant rubber ducky, or a flying pig. Now put it on a racetrack with scores of other half-broken art-cars and drive it fast as hell for 14 and a half hours.

Thats the formula for 24 Hours of Lemons, a grass-roots race-carnival held since 2006. Whats the grand prize for completing the most laps? A rusted trophy. Sometimes, you get a big bag of nickels.

Jay Lamm, the ringleader of this circus, hatched the idea during a weekly lunch with car buddies at a Chinese restaurant in Berkeley, Calif. Nearly 15 years later, Lemons is a multimillion-dollar franchise held in dozens of cities across the United States, Australia and New Zealand.

Its a real race, but winning is mostly irrelevant. What is actually tested (and celebrated) is the ability of resourceful hobbyists armed with only basic tools and their wits to revive a worn-out vehicle for a weekend of low-rent, high-speed high jinks.

In arguably his most masterful act of provocation so far, a year ago Mr. Lamm changed the sacrosanct laws of Lemons. He put up $50,000 to create a prize for the first pure electric car to win any 24 Hours of Lemons race. To up the ante, electric cars are exempt from the $500 limit. (For all cars, that $500 mark does not include safety gear.)

Mr. Lamm said the electric vehicle prize would be paid exclusively in nickels, delivered to the winners driveway by a dump trunk.

Of the approximately 15,000 cars in Lemons races since 2006, only two have been electric. A converted half-century-old Datsun 1600, equipped with a 23-horsepower forklift powertrain, was quickly pulled from the race. It was too slow and a hazard for the rest of the field, which averages 55 to 60 miles an hour during a race.

A second team fielded a 1981 Plymouth Horizon TC3 wired to golf-cart batteries. Battery chargers previously used for Chinese crop-dusting drones were stationed in the teams pit area. Errant electrical fields attracted an army of fire ants, which swarmed the lining of the drivers race suit right before he put it on.

Ants are biting the drivers gonads, and he stays on the track anyway, Mr. Lamm said. Thats what I call dedication. Or a personality disorder. Or maybe both.

What led Mr. Lamm to stage a battle between E.V.s and gas cars in the worlds least prestigious racing series? Nothing other than the very survival of his tribe of wrench-turning weekend racers.

Mr. Lamm sees the writing on the wall for internal combustion and believes that hands-on enthusiasts need to embrace the potential of motors, batteries and inverters as a new form of automotive self-reliance. Were currently on the path to being marginalized wackos with a crazy hobby, he said.

Endurance car races are won not on pure speed but on stamina. You cant be off the track for more than 60 to 120 seconds, refueling or recharging as the case may be, Mr. Lamm said. You mathematically arent going to win.

Todays E.V. batteries go for 200 miles or more, about five times the distance needed for a typical American commute. But when accelerated to racing speeds followed by hard braking, again and again, those battery packs last perhaps a single hour. Gas cars can tank up in seconds and return to the track for another couple of hours. But recharging an E.V. commonly takes minutes or hours.

The only solution to winning Lemons in an E.V. is to engineer a battery-swapping apparatus and show up to race with a truckload of spare batteries. The approximate cost for the required set of five or so battery packs could easily exceed $100,000, twice the purse.

Besides, battery-swapping for electric cars is an unproven technology. Nio, a Chinese car company, is trying to build a battery-swap network in China. Its doing so with a $1.4 billion investment from the municipal government of Hefei, the largest city in Anhui Province. Better Place, an Israeli start-up, raised roughly $800 million for battery-swapping infrastructure before going bankrupt in 2013. Tesla tried battery swaps but gave up. Could the low-budget Lemon racers succeed where giant companies failed?

Its doubtful. Mr. Lamm announced the $50,000 Lemons E.V. prize a year ago. Since then, no one has tried to win in a pure electric vehicle. Maybe his mountain of nickels is safe.

Then again, theres Michael Bream, a two-time Lemons winner with gas cars. In his first victory, in 2010, Mr. Breams 1989 BMW 3-Series beat 100 other cars at Buttonwillow Raceway in Bakersfield, where Southern Californias gutsiest speed-shop mechanics compete.

After a second Lemons victory, this time at Sonoma Raceway in 2011, he was ready for a higher challenge. I dont know where my brain got the idea, but it hit me, he said. Lets try to do an electric Pikes Peak car.

The annual Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, held since 1916, follows a steep, tortuous route with 156 turns often through blinding weather to a 14,115-foot summit. In 2012, Mr. Bream entered his 1995 BMW M5, with the original straight-six engine replaced by an electric motor granting 900 pound-feet of torque.

On his inaugural run, the electrified Bimmer stunned the high-octane Pikes Peak crowd when it completed the 12.4-mile ascent in less than 12 minutes. On that day, Mr. Bream beat Nobuhiro Tajima, the hill climb racer known as Monster.

As soon as we crossed the line, it was confirmed, Mr. Bream said. We tapped into the great equalizer with this electric stuff. All of a sudden, it was Lemons on a world platform.

Four years later, he gave up his day job, selling Gravity Skateboards, the company he founded and ran for 23 years. I needed all my attention on the E.V. business, he said.

That business, EV West, is a hideaway Wonka-like workshop on the edge of a nondescript industrial park in San Marcos, Calif., 35 miles up the coast from San Diego. Its where iconic muscle cars and European classics go to become all-electric beasts. On any given day, the companys sunbaked parking lot might hold a converted 1954 Volkswagen Beetle waiting for Ewan McGregor, Tony Hawks electrified 1964 Corvette, or a classic VW bus prepped for Zach Galifianakis.

When I spoke with Mr. Bream in July, his team was frantically moving between celebrity conversions, selling D.I.Y. electric components and building a ground-up, all-electric salt-flat racecar in the vintage 1940s belly-tank style. A month later, Mr. Bream took that vehicle, the Electraliner, to the Bonneville Speed Week 2020 and its famed salt-caked racing bed. It took eight runs, but his team left a grueling week in Utah with a land speed record of 229.363 m.p.h. for the class of electric vehicles weighing about 2,000 pounds.

Winning Lemons with an E.V. will be more difficult. It will require an ultra-durable endurance car and an apparatus capable of speedy battery swaps. Blueprints dont exist.

There are other potential electric Lemons contenders. Jason Appelbaum is the founder and chief executive of EverCharge, a Bay Area company that installs E.V. charging equipment for multifamily dwellings and fleets.

A pack swap is not easy. Its a very serious engineering problem, he said. His team is working on it. Were not close, he acknowledged. Mr. Appelbaum is also a Lemons laureate, taking honors in 2018 with his gas-powered 1987 BMW 325 with Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy livery. (The answer painted on the cars hood: 42, of course.)

And theres Richard Hilleman, who ran the megahit John Madden Football franchise for four years starting in 1991. He worked on more than 100 video games, including racing titles, for almost 35 years at Electronic Arts before joining Amazon Game Studio in 2016. He also leads the seven-time champion Rattlesnake Electric Sports team, which has spent 20 years racing F.I.A. Category V electric karts that can hit speeds of 135 miles an hour.

Mr. Hilleman won a Lemons event in 2017 in a 10-year-old Prius hybrid. There is no enjoyment in life greater than passing a Mustang on the outside of the carousel at Sears Point in a Prius, he said.

Mr. Hilleman, who converted a Porsche 550 Spyder in the mid-1990s, warns teams against building homegrown, high-voltage battery packs. Rules for the Lemons E.V. prize, which he helped set, are safety measures that can be quickly understood and reliably implemented when lives are literally at stake. To repeat: A mishandled Lemons electric challenger could kill somebody.

Mr. Bream, the front-runner, hints at a run in fall 2021. We are on a mission, he said, launching into a passionate monologue about zero-emission motor sports.

But first hell have to go up against a field of fiercely competitive and highly skilled amateur racers. Their $500 cars might look ready for the junkyard, but that belies the meaning their mechanic drivers place in those vehicles and in internal combustion as a way of life.

I think its underestimated how gnarly that Lemons scene is, Mr. Bream said. If somebody wins that race in an electric car, it will change a lot of people.

Endurance Racing With Cars That Belong in a Demolition Derby - The New York Times

JUNEAU A group that wants to save a neglected site where the Alaska territorial flag was designed, sewn and first flown sued Wednesday, seeking to block the city of Seward from demolishing the Jesse Lee Home.

The group, Friends of Jesse Lee Home, contends the property is theirs and say the city has misrepresented the homes condition and estimated renovation costs and interfered with work efforts.

Will Earnhart, an attorney in private practice who previously represented the city, by email said that to his knowledge, ownership had reverted to the city because conditions in the deed were not met. City manager Scott Meszaros declined comment Wednesday.

The Seward City Council in July voted to raze remaining buildings at the property, a one-time Methodist-run facility where orphans and other displaced children from Alaska Native villages were sent, many after the flu epidemic of a century ago.

Benny Benson, the homes most famous resident, is believed to be the only Indigenous person to design a state flag. He won a territory-wide contest in 1927 with his flag design. The design became the Alaska state flag after statehood in 1959.

Group seeks to stop demolition of Seward's Jesse Lee Home, where the first Alaska flag flew - Anchorage Daily News

Allu Finland-based attachments manufacturer Allu premiered its new range of crusher buckets for the demolition and recycling and industries.

The Allu Crusher line comprises three models for 10 to 33 t excavators, one of which was on display at ConExpo in Las Vegas, USA.

The heavy duty attachment opens like a clam for easy maintenance and features reversible crushing to reduce jamming and blockages and a pin adjustment that allows operators to change the size of the output material.

The company, which also produces the Transformer line of screener crushers and the Processor range of mixers said the range was designed or hard rock and troublesome demolition materials.

Aquajet The Sweden-based hydrodemolition machine manufacturer introduced the Ecosilence 3.0 (pictured below) to reduce noise and allow for a more compact job site, while enhancing environmental stewardship and lowering overall operating costs.

The product features integrated auto start/stop technology that improves fuel consumption, which saves as much as 25 litres of fuel a day for a smaller carbon footprint. According to Aquajet, the re-engineered Ecosilence is more compact, as well, with the entire self-contained system now fitting in a standard, 6.1 m (20 ft) shipping container.

It also produces less noise while in operation, making it suitable for use in urban areas with limited space and strict noise restrictions.

Avant (UK) Avant (UK), the English subsidiary of Finnish compact loader manufacturer Avant Tecno, added the most powerful machine to its 8 series range the Avant 860i Stage V (above). The largest of the Avant loaders, although still compact, it benefits from a greater lifting capacity of 1,900 kg (4,188 lb), a greater reach of 3.5 m (11 ft 6 in), and a turbocharged Kohler KDI 1903 TCR 42 kW (57 hp) diesel engine.

The machine also complies with the latest emissions regulations and boasts many additional features to previous models, including an improved GT cabin with better visibility and usability.

Bobcat Compact equipment specialist Bobcat showed its E10e mini excavator for the first time at this years Executive Hire Show in the United Kingdom. The machine (pictured above) is suitable for indoor demolition and basement projects as well as other low noise sites such as city centres.

Developed at the Bobcat EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) Innovation Centre in the Czech Republic, the E10e is based on the diesel powered E10, which has sold more than 10,000 in the past 10 years.

Brokk The Sweden-based leading remote-controlled demolition robot manufacturer Brokk unveiled its new Atomised Water Mist for dust suppression applications.

The company says the new system produces atomised fog that effectively binds airborne dust particles while providing suppression at ground level.

In addition, the mist dissipates, rather than forming puddles, which Brokk said makes for a safer, cleaner job site.

Available for all Brokk remote-controlled demolition robots, the dust suppression offers a solution for combatting harmful silica dust in demolition applications.

EpirocGermany-based attachment specialist Epiroc added the CB 4500 to its popular CB Concrete Buster range.

The new model is designed for carriers in the 40 to 55 t weight class.

Epiroc says that due to their comparatively light weight CB Concrete Busters are effective choices for use with high reach or long front carriers for applications with highly abrasive material and low level of visibility of the product in operation. They are also suitable where noise is an issue and they can be used in residential areas where hydraulic breakers are not permitted.

EvoQuip Leading compact crushing and screening equipment manufacturer EvoQuip introduced the Bison 160 hybrid hook-lift jaw crusher.

Described by the Terex brand as ideal for construction and demolition recycling applications and urban areas, this is the fourth model in the Bison series and the first to use hybrid diesel-electric drive technology to reduce running costs in addition to cutting noise and fuel emissions.

The dual-powered Bison 160 is equipped with a proven 700 x 500 mm (28 x 20 in) single toggle hydraulically adjustable jaw crusher.

Hitachi Hitachi introduced a range of new high-performance hydraulic breakers that match its range of excavators in the range from ZX10 up to ZX890.

The company describes the breakers as ensuring maximum productivity, high performance and low total cost of ownership while the slim design of the breaker is said to ensure easy accessibility in demolition applications.

The mono-block cylinder with a replaceable cylinder liner has been developed to reduce the number of parts in the attachment.

LaBounty USA-based industrial tools and attachment business Stanley Infrastructures LaBounty brand has added a new attachment to its demolition portfolio.

The Multi-Jaw Demolition Tool (MRX) is suited to both primary and secondary demolition applications as well as off site concrete processing.

Designed for efficient downsizing and equipped with 360 rotation, the MRX is described as having a short centre of gravity for optimal control and manoeuvrability.

It features an interchangeable jaw with options for a concrete pulveriser, concrete cracker or shear.

LaBounty has also introduced the Mobile Rotation Pulveriser (MRP) to its line up. Similar in design to the the MRX, it has a dedicated concrete pulveriser jaw.

McCloskey International Crushing and screening specialist McCloskey International has expanded its mobile solutions with a new product range shredders. The VTS95 is the first product to makes its debut for the companys new Recycling Division.

Designed for maximum performance and high productivity, McCloskey says the VTS95 tracked primary shredder is capable of effectively shredding virtually any type of material including solid, industrial, commercial waste and bulk waste.

It is designed to meet the requirements for plants in which the incoming materials vary greatly in terms of size, composition, and difficulty to shred.

Sandvik Sandvik launched Peak Screening, a solution to help ensure every square metre of a customers screening to be as productive as possible.

The company said its screening equipment, media and services are designed to work optimally with each other.

It added that customers will also benefit from having ongoing access to experienced specialists in configuration, optimisation and troubleshooting.

As a result, it has now introduced three ranges of screens, with solutions including the WX6500 tensioned rubber screening media with up to 15 times longer wear life than standard wire mesh, but with the same screening accuracy for superior productivity and uptime.

Trevi Benne Italian company Trevi Benne has launched the FR 120 rotating pulveriser.

The new product has an opening of 1,655 mm (65 in), a weight of 13 t and a force on blades of 820 t.

It is part of the FR Series which the company says has higher performance and resistance to stress, stronger rotation, superior breakage efficiency and a longer lifetime.

By Travis Vassallo

Dear Santa Barbara,

I have spent most of this weekend attempting to convey the entirety of my thoughts and feelings regarding the proposed development that is threatening to destroy a beloved local mainstay, The Press Room; a place that I and countless community members hold close to our hearts. Ive read through dozens of emails and letters from other concerned residents about this development expressing anger, sadness, disillusionment, and frustration; it has been difficult to distill all of this down into a few short paragraphs, so Ive chosen to speak from the heart and out of love. Love for the city I was born in, for the community I grew up with, and for the people and businesses that make Santa Barbara the incredibly special place that we all call home.

Communities are more than simply spaces humans reside in.Theyre not the roads, the views, the weather; they are at the very core comprised of the people and businesses that make up the community and our home. The Press Room is the very essence of this ethos. Anchored by its love of the worlds game, soccer, The Press Room is an institution, far beyond the humble roots of a British inspired cocktail pub; a behemoth in a small package, much like Santa Barbara itself.

Owners James and Carol Rafferty opened their doors to the hearts (and bellies) of Santa Barbara over 25 years ago. From day one, The Press Room has been a diverse and vibrant safe space for people of all walks of life, of all races and persuasions, to congregate and enjoy not only each others company but the company of the entire Rafferty family and its staff. The Raffertys and their patrons have helped to contribute thousands of dollars every year to local charities and non-profits. They provide a space for local artists to display work. They and the Press Room are Santa Barbara in microcosm. And much like the city it calls home, The Press Room faces economic forces and outside business interests that threaten to upend our peaceful coastal home. Santa Barbara has long distinguished itself from other communities by strategically and deliberately moderating its growth and protecting the character of The American Riviera.

Santa Barbara stands at a precipice, looking forward from a ledge to what our city, our community, will become. Weve seen countless local businesses fail due to high rents, families forced to relocate because they simply could not afford their mortgage, and the very soul of what Santa Barbara is slowly disintegrate into something that is looking to be nothing more than an extension of greater Los Angeles.

To be clear, I recognize a property owners rights to be able to develop their land as they see fit, but it is beholden to city council to protect any and all important cultural, economic, and societal buildings or businesses that may not fit in ones desire for profit. I realize the need for more housing in Santa Barbara, but affordable housing. This project appears to be nothing more than a land grab intended to displace local businesses to make way for exorbitantly high rent housing and in return, high profits for its owners. SIMA Corp, and by default its principal, Jim Knell, said he, controls 500,000 square feet of retail and office space downtown from which no fewer than 300 merchants and business professionals rent. I would like to ask the community of Santa Barbara how they think downtown looks these days. How many vacant businesses do you see on a day to day basis? Do we want to tear down and destroy the essence of what makes Santa Barbara to simply to erect high cost housing?

The Santa Barbara City Planning Commission is now presented with a real opportunity. An opportunity to potentially afford both the owners right to develop, the need for additional housing, and to protect a local and international landmark.

By insisting any development take into consideration the existing Press Room and business and insisting its survival in either the new development or by paid relocation included in any permitted development, city council will help not just one local family continue their American dream but rather ensure an entire community continue to be the vibrant and diverse ecosystem we all hope it to be.As responsible stewards of our community, The Santa Barbara City Planning Commission must do what is right for our community by protecting our iconic businesses, especially now.

With everything that is happening and wrong in the world, The Press Room remains as a small beacon of light and losing it will leave a dark hole in our hearts during a time when many of us hardly have any heart left to lose.

I encourage everyone to participate in the Planning Commissions virtual meeting regarding this projecton Thursday, September 3rd at 1:00pm.
