Garden is one of the most visited attractions in the city, as well as the oldest public Japanese garden in the United States. The brief called for the redesign of the tea house and gift shop structures in the Garden, effectively restoring a traditional Japanese aesthetic to the surroundings. The solution lay in restoring the original shoji screens directly behind the glass facade on the exterior of the gift shop, replacing the laminate flooring on the interior with bamboo, and installing low storage units to minimize clutter and improve circulation. http://www.ikedeani.com/The-Biodiesel-Diaries http://www.ikedeani.com/following/ikedeani.com/The-Biodiesel-Diaries Tue, 08 Feb 2011 02:41:08 +0000 Ike Edeani — Design & Art Direction 1029453 <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/82859/1029453/biodiesel01.jpg" border="0" width="650" height="400" width_o="650" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/82859/1029453/biodiesel01_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/82859/1029453/biodiesel02.jpg" border="0" width="650" height="400" width_o="650" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/82859/1029453/biodiesel02_o.jpg" align="left" /> The Biodiesel Diaries is a projectby Carlos Herrera and documentary filmmaker Majo Calderon. Using an SUV modified to run on waste vegetable oil, they traveled from Oakland, California to Santiago Chile in 6 months. Along the way, they met with various grassroots organizations, created documentaries highlighting social and environmental prosperity, and built an online network to connect their students in Oakland to the youth in Latin America. The introduction film was produced using various images and video clips created on the trip. The website is built on the WordPress CMS platform to facilitate the sharing of Carlos and Majo's work, with an integrated blog that they continuously updated as a travel journal.Music: Kalimba by Inti-Illimani http://www.ikedeani.com/Kissing-Nightingale http://www.ikedeani.com/following/ikedeani.com/Kissing-Nightingale Tue, 08 Feb 2011 02:41:05 +0000 Ike Edeani — Design & Art Direction 1029450 <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/82859/1029450/KN-1_950.jpg" border="0" width="950" height="600" width_o="950" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/82859/1029450/KN-1_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/82859/1029450/KN-2_950.jpg" border="0" width="950" height="600" width_o="950" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/82859/1029450/KN-2_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/82859/1029450/KN-3_950.jpg" border="0" width="950" height="600" width_o="950" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/82859/1029450/KN-3_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/82859/1029450/KN-4_950.jpg" border="0" width="950" height="600" width_o="950" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/82859/1029450/KN-4_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/82859/1029450/KN-5_950.jpg" border="0" width="950" height="600" width_o="950" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/82859/1029450/KN-5_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/82859/1029450/KN-6_950.jpg" border="0" width="950" height="600" width_o="950" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/82859/1029450/KN-6_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/82859/1029450/KN-7_950.jpg" border="0" width="950" height="600" width_o="950" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/82859/1029450/KN-7_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/82859/1029450/KN-8_950.jpg" border="0" width="950" height="600" width_o="950" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/82859/1029450/KN-8_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/82859/1029450/KN-9_950.jpg" border="0" width="950" height="600" width_o="950" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/82859/1029450/KN-9_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/82859/1029450/KN-11_950.jpg" border="0" width="950" height="600" width_o="950" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/82859/1029450/KN-11_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/82859/1029450/KN-10_950.jpg" border="0" width="950" height="600" width_o="950" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/82859/1029450/KN-10_o.jpg" align="left" /> Kissing Nightingale is a series of illustrations by artist and architect Aaron Blumenhein. Each of the drawings literally depict scenes from his dreams, which he remembers in incredible detail and records immediately upon waking. The exhibit took place in the artist's cramped San Francisco studio. Seeing the lack of space as an opportunity rather than an obstacle, the solution was to flip the bed upright, with the drawings (or 'dreams') pinned to the wall next to it, imitating thought balloons; an apt representation of a dream: irrational and surreal.Illustrations: Aaron Blumenhein http://www.ikedeani.com/Leland-Tea http://www.ikedeani.com/following/ikedeani.com/Leland-Tea Tue, 08 Feb 2011 02:41:04 +0000 Ike Edeani — Design & Art Direction 1029435 <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/82859/1029435/leland01.jpg" border="0" width="650" height="418" width_o="650" height_o="418" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/82859/1029435/leland01_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/82859/1029435/leland04.jpg" border="0" width="650" height="400" width_o="650" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/82859/1029435/leland04_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/82859/1029435/leland00.png" border="0" width="650" height="400" width_o="650" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/82859/1029435/leland00_o.png" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/82859/1029435/leland08-01.png" border="0" width="651" height="401" width_o="651" height_o="401" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/82859/1029435/leland08-01_o.png" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/82859/1029435/leland06.jpg" border="0" width="650" height="400" width_o="650" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/82859/1029435/leland06_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/82859/1029435/leland02.jpg" border="0" width="650" height="400" width_o="650" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/82859/1029435/leland02_o.jpg" align="left" /> The Leland Tea Company is a well established, award-winning tea cafe in San Francisco’s Nob Hill neighborhood. Needing an interior facelift after 5 years in business, the brief included a newly designed kitchen, bar, front counter, and tea display. Faced with an extremely tight budget, the solution was to take on both design and construction duties on an accelerated schedule. For the tea display, a shadow box was built using found cherry wood and fitted with a sheet of steel, to which tea canisters are mounted with the aid of magnets. The kitchen tile was replaced with a brand new concrete floor, and most of the existing cabinets were salvaged, refinished, and reused. A 22’ piece of oak (cut down to 13’) was used for the bartop; planed, sanded, stained, and finished in place. A pastry case was also designed and built, using plywood, dowels and tempered glass. The entire project was completed in just 6 weeks (4 weeks design, 2 weeks construction). <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/82859/1029435/leland05.png" border="0" width="650" height="489" width_o="650" height_o="489" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/82859/1029435/leland05_o.png" align="left" />
