Is this level of silence from SC normal? Or is the tide turning in some way? It’s been months.

Dear Tide Anon,

Making the rounds, eh?

Let me guess... Friday night, not a soul in sight? Out of ice cream? Crappy movies on TV?

Define silence, please. Let me break some - BBC - news (you live under a rock?).

So far, we've got:

Sasnakcitygate. Pearls were violently clutched all across the fandom. A lot of people showed us that no matter what SAG-AFTRA decided, they know better than the strikers themselves, anyway. Event ends with an unpredictable BANG legal fizzle.

Game night in LAX. The why, the where and the what. Very important, the what.

Gin promo in LAX. Less drama, still groping. Some lassies never learn.

Simultaneously, C's Hide-and-Seek - The Scottish Spa Edition. Now with bespoke gin. Whatever that means.

Boat party Gin promo in Marina del Rey. Enter BBC, New Manager, Blonde Guy, Red Dress and Melanieeee, of course. A couple dozens brains explode. Strings of pearls are violently shaken and stirred, in stern disproval. Muffled wailings are starting to be detected, too.

[sometime in-between: Runyon Canyon buddy hike MPC promo. The European side of the fandom vastly improves its expertise in the Geography of California]

A new/old picture on the terrace of above Shutters. There is such a thing as Hawaiian posh still water bottled in Michigan. Pic is promptly erased after desired target has been reached.

Cucumber Yoga Chick unfollows with a BANG! all the socials she was conveniently stalking. It must have been love. But it's over, now. It must have been good. But she lost it, somehow.

BBC back to Texas. Laid a whisper on her pillow, woke up lonely. The works.

Brazilian SAG-AFTRA eligible lingerie model miraculously spots Ginger Jesus in line for coffee in LAX. Helmet picture is promptly taken. A little bit of this and a little bit of that. Model's child is not cropped in due time. Shippers are stalking bores.

Our Lady of the Rings allows publication of clickbait literature with bizarre title and no new content.

Cucumber Yoga Girl re-follows S on IG.

You call that silence, Anon?

Summer - Winter 2023 My life is going to be different from now on

.

.

The clouds gather silent like they were sat at the table of the earth to feast on the open hearts screaming towards the sun Every refracting ray of light a moment of yearning for every hungry one.

.

.

If only I could rip you into air The pieces would dance like falling snow and I'd catch you on my tongue Kept inside where no one would know

.

.

Snapshots of caskets Dying of roses Falling of petals Falling away

I come apart at the slightest of pressure Thunder and blowing Blowing away

Oil on skin Making it harder for my hand to run to your throat from my grave

Buried down under Six feet of soil My heart is still beating Beating away

.

.

You are the color outside of the lines.

.

.

Because I meant it and I knew it was true and I knew that she meant it and I wanted it to be real.

.

.

Sometimes things are just perfect. Sometimes you're lying on my chest and sometimes wind chimes are blowing. Sometimes your jaw moves every so slightly in your dreams and sometimes I keep petting your hair even though I know you can't feel it. Sometimes the sound of the crickets stop for a moment and I know I almost fall asleep and sometimes I stay awake and lie there and look at the parts of you I can see without moving you. Sometimes you make a noise and sometimes I kiss your head. Sometimes things are just perfect.

.

.

If love is all we need then we are a paltry people I will mark each blessing as it passes like a lizard counting clouds.

.

.

I feel like I've lived at this house all my life All the years that mattered at least I close the shutters I close the blinds I've lived here all alone

.

.

I've always been dependent on having something that only I could see.

.

.

Helicopter leaves caught in your hair. I think that I was meant to stay.

.

.

Winter without snow I need not the earth show me The magic feeling

.

.

I never told you what I want because I didn't know what I needed.

.

.

No violence No judgment I condemn you to this world you've created There will be no end, a bespoke misery One of a kind No two are the same The other side of the coin won't be flipped

.

.

I am unrelenting Persistent in my dependence on myself An endless cycle of selfishness and unchecked ego Nonstop and helpless to a wheel that won't stop turning Breaking my back every morning Incessant on earing my skin in the dark like a tire over soil and dirt in the night

.

.

Sometimes any box will do when you're in need of a coffin.

This feels silly to ask in 2023, but does anything like these Separated Shutters exist for the TS2 Lafenetre windows? I’ve seen them for the Craftsman windows (here). The set pictured is from TS3 (here). I’m sure the Bespoke building set has something close, but I’m looking for Maxis Match if possible :D

Custom Builders in Melbourne East: Realising Your Ideal House

Selecting the appropriate builder is one of the most crucial decisions you will make while creating your ideal house. The custom builders in Melbourne East provide a special chance to design a house that is genuinely suited to your requirements, tastes, and way of life. The correct bespoke builder may make all the difference, whether your goal is to create a sustainable, eco-friendly place, a classic family house, or a modern masterpiece.

Proportion and Symmetry with Stone or Brick Facades

The symmetry of Georgian style homes is among its most remarkable features. A Georgian home's front face is frequently precisely balanced, with doors and windows arranged in a rigid, systematic pattern. With windows on either side and similar distances between each piece, the central entrance usually serves as the facade's main point.

Windows usually have nine panes of glass and are placed in a grid pattern. Georgian homes have a solid, majestic aspect because they are often constructed with brick or stone facades. While lighter stone was frequently found in American variants of the design, red or brown bricks were frequently employed in Britain during the early period.

Elegant Doors With Ornamentation and Classical Details

A Georgian home's front door is frequently an artistic creation in and of itself. Elegant panelling, ornamental moulding, and occasionally a fanlight or sidelights that frame the entry are some of its possible features. Above the entrance is a semi-circular window called a fanlight, which frequently has stained glass or intricate tracery.

Usually double-hung, windows have nine-over-nine or six-over-six panes. A harmonious, rhythmic pattern is produced throughout the front of the house by the placement of the windows. Decorative shutters and occasionally brick or stone surrounds are used to highlight these windows. Columns, pilasters, and ornamental mouldings surrounding windows and doorways are examples of classical decoration that is embraced by the Georgian style.

Comprehensive Guide to Automatic Rolling Shutters: Features, Benefits, and Applications

Automatic rolling shutters are an increasingly popular feature in both residential and commercial properties due to their unmatched combination of security, convenience, and modern aesthetics. These motorized shutters, which roll up and down with the press of a button or via smart devices, provide numerous advantages over traditional window and door treatments, offering enhanced protection, energy efficiency, and ease of use. In this article, we will delve into the key features, benefits, and practical applications of automatic rolling shutters, explaining why they are a smart investment for homeowners and businesses alike.

What Are Automatic Rolling Shutters?

Automatic rolling shutters are motor-driven panels, typically installed over windows, doors, garages, or even storefronts, that can be easily rolled up or down. They are made from durable materials like aluminum, steel, or PVC, and are designed to provide enhanced security, privacy, weather protection, and energy efficiency. Unlike manual shutters, automatic models come equipped with electric motors that enable remote control, wall-mounted switches, or integration with smart home systems, allowing users to operate them with ease.

These shutters can be custom-designed to fit a variety of sizes and styles, ensuring they complement the architectural design of any building. Whether used to protect large glass storefronts, secure garage entrances, or offer additional privacy to windows, automatic rolling shutters are a versatile solution for many different needs.

Features of Automatic Rolling Shutters

Motorized Operation The defining feature of automatic rolling shutters is their motorized function. Depending on the system, users can control the shutters via a handheld remote, wall switch, or mobile app. Some systems are even integrated with home automation platforms like Google Home or Amazon Alexa, allowing for voice-activated control. For properties with multiple shutters, automation simplifies what could otherwise be a time-consuming process.

Customizable Design Automatic rolling shutters are highly customizable in terms of size, material, color, and finish. Whether you want sleek, modern aluminum shutters for a contemporary building or more rustic steel designs, there's an option for every preference. Many manufacturers offer bespoke designs to ensure that shutters blend seamlessly with the architectural features of a building.

Weather and UV Protection These shutters act as a protective barrier against harsh weather conditions like heavy winds, rain, hail, or even extreme sunlight. They also provide protection from harmful UV rays that can damage interior furnishings and carpets over time. By limiting sun exposure, automatic rolling shutters preserve the quality and longevity of interior items.

Noise Reduction Another valuable feature of automatic rolling shutters is their ability to reduce noise. They are particularly effective in urban environments or near busy streets, where outside noise can disturb indoor comfort. With shutters down, they create an extra layer of sound insulation, making them ideal for homes and offices located in high-traffic areas.

Insulation and Energy Efficiency Automatic rolling shutters provide insulation, keeping warm air inside during colder months and preventing heat from entering during the summer. By improving thermal insulation, these shutters can lower energy consumption for heating and cooling, leading to significant savings on utility bills.

Benefits of Automatic Rolling Shutters

Improved Security Security is one of the primary reasons why property owners invest in automatic rolling shutters. These shutters create a solid, physical barrier that is difficult to breach, deterring burglars and vandals. Many shutters come with locking mechanisms that enhance their security features, providing peace of mind for both homeowners and business operators. For businesses, automatic shutters can secure storefronts and garages after hours, minimizing the risk of theft or property damage. Residential properties benefit from enhanced security, particularly in areas with higher crime rates or for homes that are left unattended for long periods.

Convenience and Automation The ability to operate shutters remotely adds an unparalleled level of convenience. Gone are the days of manually rolling shutters up and down—now, users can open or close them from the comfort of their couch, or even schedule them to operate at specific times of the day. For instance, shutters can be programmed to lower during peak sunlight hours or to raise automatically in the morning. Homeowners can also integrate the shutters into existing smart home systems, allowing them to control them alongside lighting, temperature, and other smart devices. This level of automation can improve everyday convenience while also offering potential savings on energy costs.

Enhanced Privacy Automatic rolling shutters provide customizable privacy options. They can be adjusted to completely block views from the outside, or partially opened to allow light while maintaining some privacy. For residential properties in urban or densely populated areas, this flexibility is a significant advantage.

Weather Protection In addition to enhancing security, automatic rolling shutters protect windows, doors, and other openings from damage caused by inclement weather. Whether it's strong winds during a storm, hail, or even flying debris during a hurricane, these shutters serve as a physical shield, preventing glass from breaking and minimizing the risk of structural damage.

Aesthetic Appeal and Value Addition With customizable designs, automatic rolling shutters can improve the visual appeal of a building. They come in various styles and finishes to suit different architectural designs, ensuring they do not detract from the property’s exterior appearance. For homeowners looking to sell, these shutters are a desirable feature that adds value to the property, appealing to potential buyers who prioritize both security and energy efficiency.

Applications of Automatic Rolling Shutters

Residential Use In homes, automatic rolling shutters are used primarily for security and energy efficiency. They are commonly installed on windows, doors, and garage entrances. Homeowners also appreciate the added privacy and noise reduction these shutters provide, particularly in busy urban areas or neighborhoods with close proximity to streets.

Commercial Use In commercial spaces, automatic rolling shutters are used to secure storefronts, protect goods, and safeguard high-traffic areas after hours. Restaurants, shops, and offices benefit from the added security, and their modern look often enhances the exterior appearance of commercial buildings.

Industrial Use Factories and warehouses use automatic rolling shutters for protecting goods and equipment. In industrial settings, these shutters are particularly useful in securing large entryways, loading docks, and storage areas. Their durability and strength make them ideal for high-security needs.

Conclusion

Automatic rolling shutters offer a range of practical benefits, including enhanced security, energy savings, and weather protection. Their ease of use, customizable designs, and modern appeal make them a versatile solution for both residential and commercial properties. With the added advantages of privacy, noise reduction, and improved energy efficiency, investing in automatic rolling shutters is a smart decision for any property owner looking to combine functionality with style.

Reflection/critique on the formative and the next step for development

1. Proportion/ratio

The suspended display stands are overly big in proportion to a person 

The entrance of the staff room and toilet are too narrow with the function of rotating door (need to be wider)

The retail till counter is too low and need to be lifted up

2. Add/fix

The rotating bookshelf doors are not practical as an actual door that keeps the store lock when closed; perhaps a shutter door could be incorporated?

Add ramp to the entrances to ensure wheelchair accessibility and enhance the overall flow of movement within the space, making it easier for all visitors to move without obstruction - encourages interaction and makes everyone feel welcome.

Adding wall dividers in between the curved seatings to create a more private experience to immerse in reading

Adding a staircase or ladder for the curved shelf for access to high shelves. As. well as encouraging visitors to browse and discover books, leading to a more engaging and immersive experience.

Adding cushioned backing to the seatings to provide comfort making it more enjoyable for customers to sit for a long time.

Consider making the entrance bigger? - further enhances the inviting and open feel as well as visibility from the outside, encouraging/drawing attention for visitors to enter.

Explore ways to develop the elements (suspended table, retail counter etc) within the spaces to be more accent looking to further strengthen the distinctiveness from the everyday environment of Nuffield Street

Adding more details to the space and bespoke elements

3. Material 

Consider ways to incorporate the characteristics of the Cabbage Tree's to contrast with the everyday environment of Nuffield Street to create a space that effectively communicate the sense of transporting to a different world through the use of materials.

Further research on materials

Next step:

Make adjustments to the design based on reflection, critique, and feedback received.

Further research on materials following the feedback and critique

Research on Kiosk design (what it is and existing examples)

Produce sketches of potential kiosk design

Produce sketches of interior moment in the workshop
