It’s more than the buildings, more than the clients: It comes alive with use. Architecture is born out of collaboration, it has attitude, it’s fun. We create environments that allow for freedom - of use, of expression, of experimentation. We aim to inspire across disciplinary lines and engage the habitable world through our appropriations and innovations. We value the poignant & the ridiculous. We reveal the oddities, the quirks & imperfections that break the monotony of daily life. The future is not narrowly defined, but open-ended. Architecture should be able to be assembled by the user at times- be inspired by high technology but accomplished by low-tech craft. It should be affordable, and remain crafty utilizing a range of skilled and unskilled labor. Design, Bitches accept responsibility for our environment and our relationship to society, we strive for the biodegradable. http://www.designbitches.com/Coolhaus http://www.designbitches.com/following/designbitches.com/Coolhaus Fri, 20 May 2011 02:28:52 +0000 DesignBitches 1472257 <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/69034/1472257/ALL_2_860.jpg" border="0" width="731" height="619" width_o="731" height_o="619" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/69034/1472257/ALL_2_o.jpg" align="left" /> Facade graphics/signage design and seating installation for Coolhaus Ice Cream's first brick and mortar location in Culver City, CA. http://www.designbitches.com/Floating-Bungalow http://www.designbitches.com/following/designbitches.com/Floating-Bungalow Fri, 20 May 2011 02:00:57 +0000 DesignBitches 1472167 <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/69034/1472167/B_168233_1_012_2.jpg" border="0" width="575" height="504" width_o="575" height_o="504" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/69034/1472167/B_168233_1_012_2_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/69034/1472167/E_BarbaraBestor_MarcoPlace_025_2.jpg" border="0" width="492" height="504" width_o="492" height_o="504" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/69034/1472167/E_BarbaraBestor_MarcoPlace_025_2_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/69034/1472167/D_168233_8_008_2.jpg" border="0" width="571" height="504" width_o="571" height_o="504" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/69034/1472167/D_168233_8_008_2_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/69034/1472167/C_168233_4_0032.jpg" border="0" width="572" height="504" width_o="572" height_o="504" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/69034/1472167/C_168233_4_0032_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/69034/1472167/floating bungalow_color boxes2_860.jpg" border="0" width="672" height="504" width_o="672" height_o="504" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/69034/1472167/floating bungalow_color boxes2_o.jpg" align="left" /> Design Director/Project Architect with Bestor Architecture A modernist contemplation on (and reinterpretation of) the working class bungalows which have long defined the Venice, CA area.

Originally a 500 sq.ft. cottage on an empty lot, it has grown to include an office and several outdoor rooms, incorporating a green roof and rainwater collection system over the addition. The house and landscape are connected through the use of ‘hard’ materials such as board-formed concrete walls/benches and a polished black slab floor, as well as ‘soft’ materials including old fence boards and plywood on both interior floors and exterior walls. http://www.designbitches.com/USC-Digital-Symposium http://www.designbitches.com/following/designbitches.com/USC-Digital-Symposium Thu, 19 May 2011 06:53:15 +0000 DesignBitches 1467713 <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/69034/1467713/B_how we work.jpg" border="0" width="648" height="504" width_o="648" height_o="504" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/69034/1467713/B_how we work_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/69034/1467713/C_google alerts2.jpg" border="0" width="580" height="504" width_o="580" height_o="504" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/69034/1467713/C_google alerts2_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/69034/1467713/A_twins copy2.jpg" border="0" width="574" height="504" width_o="574" height_o="504" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/69034/1467713/A_twins copy2_o.jpg" align="left" /> In a networked global culture, sophisticated multimedia is quckly becoming the worldwide currency.
