"I don't think 'awesome' is the right term here, this is certainly different. Infrastructure in Switzerland is really 'built' -Skookum, and quite often done with flair, tastefully so in most cases.In this case, sheetmetal benches straddling Jersey wall type concrete barriers, I don't know.In one pic it seems obvious they forgot to include trash bins in the setting."
"That was also my first impression - similar concept as the Marshmellow Sofa. That was Irving Harper working at Nelson Studio. George Nelson put his name on everything that came out of his studio."
"Electric shaver ?? It's not nearly as annoying as a Cyber truck and also less so than a Tesla - the white ones make me think of soft serve or a knurdle of toothpaste."
"I am waiting for a reasonably-priced plain-Jane (nice-looking without being weird) that will get me from here to there, is fun to drive (peppy but no need for big hp/kw). It could be an ICE or hybrid as long as it burned clean (surely that's possible). A hatchback or small pick-em-up truck would be fine."
"The bubble top brought the Jetsons to mind though I won't admit to watching that cartoon.Car designers today are trying too hard for a futuristic look. "
"Looking at the gate standing open, I thought at first the rock and chain made a gravity-powered gate closer, (very clever). Maybe that's correct but I can't see hinges. There's no jam so the hinges could be hook and eye anchored straight into the rocks.Need more pics to understand the engineering here."
"Very clever and beautifully executed!I would like to know if there was a design brief or it this was just observed problem to solve.Obviously, it took some capiral to develop - what's the backsory?"
"If that price is for a completed unit with finishes, it seems too good to be true.If it is just for the shell, a stick-build could beat that price (and the time-frame with a decent crew) and one wouldn't end up with such a wierd-looking structure.Always the land and infrastructure hooks-ups are above construction costs - that 'price of a car' starts looking like an exotic one."
"Toggles right, I had 'em on the dash of my '60's vintage British roadster. I wish knobs and toggles would come back on cars - 'hate those touchscreens.At least some are now in the home!"
"Yeah, plenty is left out of this equation, BUT, I do like the deposit that promises a refund later - most plastic and toxic stuff should be like that, like cars, especially EVs - all those 3/4 ton batteries at some future date will be a problem. Even better would be a no deposit refund or buyback, an attractive one."
