Residential Tuesday 2007.1127

Tue Nov 27 22:17:41 PST 2007

Dear Designers, Builders, and Dwellers,

Residential Tuesday brings you top housing news and analysis weekly
in this free email newsletter from the editors of ArchitectureWeek.

While a housing crisis gusts and swirls around us, life also 
continues, even sweetly.

	"Imagine living on a quiet street lined with
	postcard-perfect historic houses, a street so secluded
	that it is unmarred by honking cars and casual
	pedestrians.

	"Now imagine being able to do that in the heart of New
	York City ― just steps away from the bedlam of its sights
	and sounds, and yet at the same time worlds away from it
	in sense and sensibility.

	"Pockets of this tranquillity exist across the city in
	mews and alleys that can be easily missed by passers-by.
	Some are purposely hidden behind locked gates and some
	have nothing more imposing than a sign that reads
	'Dead-End Street.' ..."

 Canright (Portland, OR) announces Custom Websites for
 Architects.  Each Canright website aims to be a minimalist
 platform to elegantly present an architect's work.  Packages are
 available for any sized architectural firm.  All are easily
 maintained by non-technical personnel.  Architects report that
 Canright makes it easy - they 'get it' quickly and deliver
 superior results.
