Orange Crush

Bayveiw Boulevard- (BTT) Colour can make or break a building. If it has too much grey, it will be easy to mistake as a communist parking garage. But, on the other side, if there's too much colour, then it will look like your building belongs in candy land. This building by Christer Nyberg (Myko) is a great study in colour- the top has bright orange, but it is subtly offset with greys and dark orange. The street also has a lot of personality, with the smug bench sitter and the anxious banker. Just make sure you don't get too distracted by the building and miss your bus!

San Francisco, California - (BTT) Real estate values have just gone up in a city where they are plenty high already thanks to a certain British artist who has left his signature mark on the side of a building that does the same to human flesh. Graffiti aside, there is a lot to love about this pair of buildings - it's worth taking a closer look at the sports bar on the corner to appreciate some of the clever detailing there. Residents of the apartments above can even enjoy a bit of sun on their roof terraces, assuming they can find a break in the fog.

Grand Catastrophe

Lookout Avenue - (BTT) Moving into a new apartment can be a stressful experience. You finally find the perfect place - top floor, spacious, and windows large to fit a grand piano - but you blew your savings on the security deposit and had to settle for a third rate moving company. Although the discount rope certainly isn't helping matters, one can't feel that the mysterious man in the dark cloak eyeing the red-headed businessman has something to do with this unfortunate musical mishap.
