Historic Victorian building to be transformed into 25 apartments (From The Argus)

A BUILDING used to train up scores of builders over the years is now to receive its own makeover to give it a new lease of life. The former City College construction and trades centre in Preston Road, Brighton, is set to be transformed into 25 apartments. Work on the transformation of the locally listed Victorian red - brick property is expected to start within the next five months and be completed by the end of next year. Brighton- based Yelo Architects said the conversion would give house hunters the rare opportunity to secure a loft apartment in the city. The scheme, which was granted planning consent by Brighton and Hove City Council planning committee last week, involves a mixture of one, two and three bedroom apartments. Developers Aligned Property bought the site in October after it became surplus to the requirements of Greater Brighton Metropolitan College , formed from the merger of City College and Northbrook College. A new £ 9 million training centre opened at ...

CLOSE TO UNIVERSAL/DISNEY/DOWNTOWN -COOL APARTMENT

Sergio was responsive. Place was a basic place to stay. Nothing fancy. Sergio has made some nice upgrades (new flooring in some places, etc), but some things need some attention, like the Dishwasher wasn't working ( he had left a note on it saying so.) Furniture is mostly Ikea, so new, but kitchen set was small and not necessarily comfy. Biggest issue is that the cleaning folks had not done a thorough job, but should that improve, it would be a fine place to stay. Location is very convenient to things!!

Lovely Collects Apartment Listings, Organizes Them, Drops Them On a Google Map

Image
The next time you're looking for an apartment or rental home, give Lovely a shot. The service pulls in apartment listings from all over the web ( including Craigslist , which Padmapper, our current favorite , no longer supports, no thanks to Craigslist) and organizes them so you can easily see how many rentals are in a given neighborhood or city, search for specific amenities or prices, and then get in touch with the landlord. Lovely works a lot like some of the other Google- maps based services that do the same thing, but where Lovely shines is in how well designed the whole service is. Before you zoom in on a map, you can see how many listings are in an area with a simple number, so you don't have to count push-pins, and neighborhoods are broken up into zones so you can see whether a rental falls in the area you want to live. You can see the age of a given apartment listing and how fresh it is right from the map view, so you don't waste time looking at old listings. Of...

Two Children Killed in KS Apartment Blaze

| Share | Share | Share | Share Aug. 15--Two young children were killed and several others were injured when fire swept through their apartment building early Tuesday in Overland Park.

Millions spent to 'preserve' Rio 2016's legacy

When Poliana Okimoto stepped onto the podium with a 10km open water Olympic bronze medal around her neck she thought her life was about to change forever. Gleefully accepting Brazil 's first ever swimming medal , the 34-year-old allowed herself to get caught up in euphoria sweeping the country. Fast forward 12 months , though, and things feel very different. After the athletes left Rio , so too did the optimism as political scandals, including millions of pounds of public money allegedly stolen in bribes for Olympic constructions projects , plunged the country into economic chaos.  Rio de Janeiro itself declared itself bankrupt just days after the Olympics closing ceremony , with no more money to pay suppliers to the Games, while hospitals, schools and the police have born the brunt of drastic cuts to public services . public money allegedly stolen in bribes for construction projects , which have plunged the country into economic chaos.

Taylor Swift appears in court for jury selection in groping case

Image
Songstress Taylor Swift is about to sing in a whole different way. Swift appeared in court in Denver for jury selection in a trial to settle opposing lawsuits filed over whether she was groped by disc jockey David Mueller in 2013. Wearing a white dress under a black jacket, she looked on as lawyers and a judge tried to whittle down a pool of 60 potential jurors to an eight-member jury. Potential jurors had to answer dozens of questions, according to a pre- trial survey obtained by TMZ.com. They were asked if they’d ever purchased a Swift album, attended one of her concerts or watched one of her videos. Speculation swirled Monday around a photo the gossip site says Swift tried to keep from public view, arguing that it would prejudice the jury pool. A judge ruled in her favor months ago . An explainer of Taylor Swift's legal battle against Denver DJ It shows Taylor standing between Mueller and his girlfriend. It’s not clear how the photo leaked or whe...

As Sister Christina Heltsley led families on a tour of an affordable housing apartment building in the North Fair Oaks neighborhood last month, she couldn’t help but reflect on the growing gap between the number of affordable homes on the Peninsula and the need she witnesses daily as executive director of the St. Francis Center , a nonprofit serving families in a low- income neighborhood just outside Redwood City. Dubbed the St. Leo’s Apartments, the project and others aimed at preserving affordable housing have been a focus for Heltsley in recent years, marking a shift in the strategy her nonprofit employs to meet the needs of families in the area bordered largely by Caltrain tracks to the east and Woodside Road to the north.

JFRD says power was shut off following an electrical issue Thursday night (PHOTO: First Coast News) JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Residents of a Murray Hill apartment complex are still without power five days after an electrical issue caused service to be shut off.

Architect Kerry Hill Restores a Singapore Home

This article originally appeared in the January 2007 issue of Architectural Digest. Space is everything to me," says Adrian Zecha, who believes he has found the ultimate house—"the most comfortable house I've ever lived in"—in Singapore. Zecha, the driving force and vision behind Amanresorts, hotels that are regarded as the last word in comfort and luxury, elaborates: "Space is one of the most important dimensions of the thing called luxury ," he says. "Comfort, too, but emotional comfort is only possible with space." This paragon of a supremely habitable house is known in Singapore and Malaysia as a black and white, a huge colonial bungalow . Single family houses of few but enormous rooms, they tended to be built in clusters in areas called parks —an early form of the gated community—for the use of expatriate civil servants , especially those on the higher rungs of the colonial ladder. In the days before air-conditioning, black and whites were...
