Last week we looked at kitchen cooktop inspiration so it's only fitting that this week we look at the other half of the puzzle: the oft-forgotten details of the range hood! A range hood is the unsung hero of the cooktop, a sometimes hidden workhorse that makes cooking a pleasant experience instead of smokey, smelly, and face-melting. This week - let's look at range hood inspiration ideas that give that hardy vent the attention it deserves.

Last year I studied 163 architecture websites (crazy, I know!). I studied them because I was tired of hearing architects say: “My website doesn’t matter… I get all my projects from referrals or word-of-mouth”. But in today’s Google-driven, economic-uncertain, pandemic-plagued world, nothing could be further from the truth. Architecture practice websites do matter.

A long time ago, I put together a day to night illustration for my Philly Bridge project. Back then, I had a hard time deciding what kind of scene lighting to go with so I just did both and ended up creating a tutorial around how you could shift an image from daytime to night all in Photoshop. For the MIT project, I again was struggling to decide what time of day to go with so I decided to go with a “Day versus Night” series of images again.

Paul and I tend to have “different but complimentary” approaches, which is great.
