The villa is comfortable and spacious. Issues we had was insects and mosquitos,but that is to be expected with its open plan concept. One night after a heavy rain, the living area was flooded even after we put the blinds down. There seems to be an issue qith the circuit breaker,but its a small fix. Breakfast are decent,cleanliness are maintained daily. Overall it was a good stay,and would love to come back.
Chris était présent lors de notre (website hidden) nous a renseigné sur la maison ,le quartier.laissez un téléphone chargė afin de le joindre pour le moindre souci .
The Villa was perfect for our stay, plenty of room and great layout. The beds were comfy and the outdoor bathrooms were amazing. Thanks for having us Kris, communication was efficient and organising the stay was a very smooth and easy process. Transfers were great, it was nice to land and not have to worry about getting a taxi. We hired scootas which made getting around so much easier and cheaper as traffic was always slow. We hope to be back soon.
Our group has just returned from 10 nights in Chris' villa in Seminyak (May 2014). Everything about the place was as advertised. The position is close to Jalan Seminyak and plenty of shopping, 10 minute walk to the beach and has a taxi rank just up the street. The villa was fantastic for our group of 11 and realistically the pictures don't do it justice. Chris was a gracious and attentive host and having access to a local mobile phone was a bonus. The airport pick up included in the price was great and allowed for a stress free start to our holiday as we didn't have to worry about haggling with taxi drivers. There were a couple of little issues that were attended to and fixed promptly (as soon as practical) by Chris and Yannick. The 'maid' service (we felt Made was part of our holiday and not just a cook and cleaner and we looked forward to her arrival each morning) was excellent as well. I would have absolutely no reservations recommending this rental to either a large group or 2 smaller groups (the complex can be divided complete with a seperate entrance). Thanks Chris and Yannick for their assistance and advice and when we return to Bali we will surely check these villas first. Thanks again - Shane
My friends and I had a great time at the villa! We had all the amenities we needed (Xbox, latest movies, complete kitchen, etc.), while the pool became our favourite chill-out spot after a hot day out.
In addition, the daily maid service/breakfast and airport transfer was a nice touch, which saved us time and hassle.
Will consider staying here again for my next trip. Thanks, Kris!
Beautiful and comfortable villa. However, the air conditioning in some rooms were not working very well. Probably need servicing. We were not informed in advance that maids will not clean and cook breakfast on a Sunday which was a slight let down. Unfortunately there was no electricity in the villa on our last day but it was nothing Christophe could do. Otherwise, great villa for a big group and Christophe was friendly and helpful whenever needed.
Hi Sylvia:
Thank you so much for your staying at the villa and for your very helpful review. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experiences as it helps us provide the best service for our guests.
Regarding the air conditioning, they had been scheduled for service just after your checkout date for the monthly maintainence so I really apologize that they were not as cold as you would have liked. In any case, they have been serviced now and I can assure you they will be nice and cool for your next visit! :)
Regarding the confusion for the maid and the breakfast not being provided on Sunday, again, I must apologize for this oversight. I was sure it was noted in the description of the villa but your helpful review has made me realize that in fact it was not. Therefore I have already included this information in the villa description for our future guests. Regarding the lack of electricity on your last day, unfortunately as we discussed on that day Bali does have electricity blackouts from time to time and no one can control that.
I truly look forward to welcoming you back to the villa anytime you are next in Bali. All the best to you Sylvia!
Kind regards,
La villa est magnifique, nous avons passé 5 nuits chez Kris, qui nous a organisé ce que nous souhaitions comme excursions sur l'île.
Je recommande vivement cette maison si vous voyager en petit groupe, nous étions 10 et c'était extra !

For quite a long time Acura has been testing its next gen MDX, but the official production version is still months away from becoming a reality. Acura is all set to reveal its first prototype version at Detroit Auto Show in January 2013.
Acura revealed today the first teaser image that showed the prototype version featuring a new Aero Sculpture design that will be affecting the function. Expect for the prototype's enchanting proportions with smooth lines that is to be carried in the product version.
Acura has not yet revealed the details about the new MDX powertrain, but the rumor suggests that the vehicle may be powered by a 3.5 litre V6 engine that churns 310 horsepower and a peak torque of about 272 pound-feet. There are also some speculations about a hybrid powertrain that will combine a V6 engine with 3 electric Motors. Further details about the next gen MDX will be revealed during its unveiling at Detroit Motor Show which is scheduled in January next year.

Mid-range Install Pics
Hi all, I have received lots of help and ideas both directly and via lurking on this forum. Thought I would share my progress.
First, the "Before." This is what it looked like when we bought the house.
Couldn't stand the wallpaper, so we stripped it and painted it a bright yellow. But the weird angles, pickled oak cabinets and everything else was still there:
Lots of people helped with a layout discussion here. Special thanks to bmorepanic for the idea to angle the pantry doors.
Here's the final layout:
Demo started Thursday, 9/26. Moving the plumbing, removing 2" of cement under the previous foyer's tile, building back up the floor with plywood, angling the pantry door, installing the vent for the hood, and painting took until 10/15.
New Pantry door:
Cabinets started going in last week. Stalled a bit while we wait on a new cabinet because 1 was broken. But floor tile went in.
Here's how they handled the HVAC register. It will still be a pretty useful cabinet, including a functioning drawer.
So far here's what's installed:
Cabinets: Wolf Shaker in White and Dark Sable
Tile: Idea Ceramica in Tuscany Grey
Paint: Sherwin Williams Matte Enamel in Rare Gray
Quartz will be coming next week :)
Thanks SparklingWater, ck_squared and taggie! I felt that something was right when the cabinet installer was talking about how great the island was with all that storage. He said, "the only problem is it gives me all these lines that I have to even out." Sounds like a good sign to me!
And ck_sqaured, I just searched and found your cabinet doors. Gorgeous!!! Ours is definitely a mid-range. We've splurged on some items, but the all white Kenmore fridge and DW are going right back in :)
Annkh, thanks! I got giddy when I saw the full height cabinets.
akchicago: that's my splurge! We're getting the Blanco Precis with drainer and another Blanco bar sink. Both in silgranit, truffle.
The faucets will be the Delta Trinsic (one of each size).
BlackChamois: It will be Ajanta quartz all over. The cool part is that one slab will fit (just barely) the island, so no seams!
kam76: Yes, all drawers are slab. With so many drawer banks, it's almost like we have two different door styles, but I still like it. I'm not a big fan of 5 piece drawer fronts.
Cool! I had a panic moment because we are doing the same thing and I have a lot of drawer bases, I was worried it would look "off". I'd love to see a pic of your drawer bases if you get a chance. Your kitchen is so lovely I am sure they look great, and this is setting my mind at ease.
msrose - that is uncanny!!! I bet our kitchen had similar knobs before the previous owner replaced them. You mom's kitchen seems a little bit "higher end" though: tile floor, molding, and framed cabinets. I don't want to tell you how bad our unframed particle board cabinets were after 25 years.
Kam76 et al., here are so more pics. Got the cabinets mostly done today. All the molding is up, and the hardware is on. I didn't realize that they were going to put two handles on the large drawers.
Semi-quartz installation today. They messed up the template (centered the sink opening instead of centering the double bowls on the sink base and letting the drain board extend to the right.
So, now backsplash and appliances are held up. Don't know how much the delay will be.
BUT, here are picks. Quartz is Hanstone Ajanta.
Because of the weird window we decided to do a quartz 4" backsplash on that side.
The silgranit sink in truffle is an even better match in real life than in this picture
We're almost done!! Quartz was successfully installed on Tuesday. Backsplash yesterday. Here's some pics:
Big Daddy Sink's home:
The drainboard extends over the base cabinet to the right. A small cutout (about 1") on the left side of the base cabinet allows it to sit nicely.
And surrounded by quartz and backsplash
There's only three seams (And two are just for the piece of quartz at the back of the range). The one large seam is just to the left of the lazy susan. I think they did a good job.
Here's a picture of the backsplash (sorry I don't know the name right now. Will try to get it)
I like it. It works really well with the floors, cabinets, and quartz. But it's making our gray walls pull a little green. But, if I had to have one item not work, it would be the paint. I can change that.
Here's a pic of the coffee area.
Sorry for the pic quality. Just snapped a few in the early morning light before heading to work.
Should reach 95% completion today with final electrician work and appliance install!!
Agree with others, it's a great space all the way around. Love the Blanco sinks :). Love the quartz and they did do a nice job on that seam. Love the contrast cab colors. As a small/medium kitchen owner, I particularly like the space! Great job!

"Prior to his successful solo career, Diego Garcia made his mark on the indie music scene as front man for the popular New York indie rock act Elefant.

First theological faculty is set up at the Oblate Immaculate Conception Scholasticate in St. Joachim's Parish, Edmonton. Diocesan seminarians attend the scholasticate as well.
Oblate Fathers move to Saskatchewan; Archdiocese of Edmonton takes over the building and calls it St. Joseph Seminary (SJS); this becomes the formation center for the diocesan seminarians.
SJS moves to St. Albert where a new building is erected on vacant farmland owned by the Archdiocese.
Approximately 100 students are studying for the priesthood at SJS.
Vatican Council II begins.
On his return from the Council Rome, Archbishop Anthony Jordan looks for ways of addressing the role of the laity in the Church. Men and women, both religious and lay, interested in theology are invited to share the facilities available in St. Albert.
The theology faculty of SJS becomes Newman Theological College (NTC) by an Act of the Alberta Legislature. NTC is opened up to a larger number of lay people and religious. SJS remains on the NTC campus as a residence and house of formation for diocesan candidates to the priesthood. Seminarians now constitute one sector of the overall student body.
Academic programs gradually develop. In 1972, associate status is granted to the NTC by the Association of Theological Schools (ATS) in the United States & Canada.
The trend continues for lay and religious to study theology. Enrollment is on the rise.
The ATS grants the status of candidacy to the NTC.
Self-study for accreditation pursued.
ATS visitation and granting of accreditation. Self-study was submitted by NTC and accepted by the ATS. An accreditation team visited NTC and made its recommendation regarding full membership to the Association.
The Summer School in Liturgical Studies was established.
NTC is granted full accreditation for the Master of Divinity and Master of Theology by the ATS.
NTC continued as a corporate body by an Act of Continuance of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta.
The Master of Religious Education Program was accredited by the ATS.
The Foundation of Newman Theological College and St. Joseph Seminary was established.
NTC celebrated its 25th anniversary. It was affirmed in its identity and mission by an Apostolic Visitation to SJS.
Self-study was submitted by NTC and accepted by the ATS. An accreditation team visited NTC and made its recommendation regarding renewal of membership to the Association.
NTC is granted full accreditation for a ten-year period by the ATS.
A new seminary residence and library facility are constructed on the campus.
NTC/SJS celebrated the official opening of the new Sopchyshyn Family Library and Seminary Residence.
NTC celebrates the 200th anniversary of the birth of the Venerable John Henry Cardinal Newman with special presentations about NTC's namesake.
SJS celebrates its 75th anniversary with a three-day celebration, highlighted by an Apostolic Visitation from Rome.
The NTC Academic Senate establishes the annual Kevin Carr Christian Leadership Award. The annual award recognizes and honours an individual whose outstanding Christian leadership in Western and Northern Canada reflects the values of NTC and the qualities that Kevin Carr cherished and exhibited in his work as NTC's seventh president (1993-2001).
NTC is considered a non-affiliated private college within the post-secondary educational system of Alberta. It has been empowered to confer academic degrees, diplomas and certificates in the field of religious sciences. The charter was granted on April 29, 1969, during the second session of the 16th Legislature (Private Bill #4).
In 1972, NTC became an associate member of the ATS in the United States and Canada. In 1988, NTC was granted the status of candidacy in view of a self-study and ATS visitation. Initial accreditation as a member of ATS was granted in January 1992. Accreditation was extended in 1996 and again in 2007 with approval of the following degrees:
Master of Divinity
Master of Religious Education
Master of Theological Studies and Master of Theology
The Province of Alberta purchases the land of NTC/SJS in order to facilitate the completion of the Anthony Henday Ring Road. NTC/SJS must vacate the land by the end of June 2009.
The Most Rev. Richard Smith, Archbishop of Edmonton announces the NTC/SJS will relocate to the Edmonton Archdiocese property.
NTC and SJS move to temporary locations in Sherwood Park and Ottewell. The Cornerstone of Faith campaign starts raising the funds for new construction. The new campus of NTC will feature state-of-the-art teaching, learning and research technology thanks to a $4.18-million grant is awarded from the federal government's Knowledge Infrastructure Program. The grant represents the first government support the College has received in its 40-year history and will help finance technology infrastructure for the Sopchyshyn Family Library and Learning Commons, classrooms and research support areas.
Archbishop Richard Smith blesses the new buildings of NTC and SJS on the banks of the North Saskatchewan River in the heart of Edmonton.
Classes officially begin at the present site for the first time.
Benedict XVI Institute for New Evangelization is founded to serve the New Evangelization by developing and offering innovative programs in faith formation and catechesis.

Wandering around the web searching for unusual business ideas I found a very nice one – an American company that offer custom-made wooden and plastic mazes, called Amaze'n Maze. The idea itself is fresh, interesting and I was also surprised by company's approach to this business:
An Amaze'n Maze isn't just about wandering around inside looking for the exit. When entering the maze, guests receive a passport with their start time. Maze runners must locate four checkpoints, each with a letter they punch on their passport. The object is to spell the word "maze" then exit as quickly as possible. Guests with the fastest times win prizes. People want to run the maze over and over, improving their times to win better prizes, and having lots of fun in the process. The best thing about this business idea is it's relatively low cost: the company can construct a 4,600 square foot maze complete with observation deck, two elevated checkpoints, and operating components – for approximately $72,000 on an existing concrete or asphalt surface. With no moving parts, there are no mechanical parts to break down. Guests are "low maintenance," too: Once inside the maze, they're off on their own and require little assistance from you. Very few attractions have as low an initial cost, simplicity of operation, or broad appeal. Requiring only one operator, mazes have a low overhead. If you ran the maze yourself, you might be able to make a thousand dollars or more per day.
What do you think? Could your town use a maze?

You are currently browsing the category archive for the 'BROOKLYN' category.
IT'S NOT NEWS THAT BROOKLYN'S FORT GREENE NEIGHBORHOOD has some of the most elegant brownstones in the borough. And that Fort Greene Park, designed by Calvert Vaux and Frederick Law Olmsted, like Central and Prospect Parks, is no less a masterwork of 19th century landscape architecture.
But as is often the case in a complex place like Brooklyn, where stylistic layers have accumulated over the decades and where there's just so much to look at as you barrel along, even a longtime resident like myself is constantly discovering new (to me) blocks and buildings.
Out for a walk last Sunday and wanting to try out the camera on my new iPhone 6, I strolled down Cumberland Street, which I knew had at least one very fine freestanding mansion, above, and found many more wood frame houses than I expected, and much else to keep my eyes busy.
Most of the houses in this post are on that one street, with the exception of the three old brownstones with intact parlor-floor storefronts and gabled roofs; those are on Greene Avenue. Thirty-five years ago, when we were a young couple and had recently bought a fixer-upper on the fringe of the fringe of Boerum Hill, we briefly knew another young couple who had bought one of those three buildings in even more derelict condition and were giving it a go. I wish I knew what became of them, but I don't remember their names. Perhaps they still own it. Or perhaps they got quickly discouraged and moved away. Or perhaps they held on to it for decades, sold it and made a killing. Whether they're there or not, the buildings remain. And that's what's so great about Brooklyn.
HAPPY NEW YEAR, devoted readers and anyone who may have landed accidentally on my humble six-year-old blog.
For my first post of 2015, here's a small sampling of seasonally appropriate photos from the Brooklyn Historical Society's online photo database. It's a tremendous resource, and great fun to search when you've got a free evening or it's too damn cold to go outside.
The images in this post are lantern slides, glass transparencies to be viewed through a projector (called a 'magic lantern') that casts the image on a wall. They were all taken by Adrian Vanderveer Martense (1852-1898), a lawyer by profession and an amateur photographer. Martense documented houses, streets, and his friends and neighbors in Flatbush, as well as momentous events like the legendary blizzard of March 1888 and the moving of the Hotel Brighton in Coney Island in April 1888. He was a member of the Brooklyn Academy of Photography and served as its first recording secretary when it was established in 1887 (it later became the Brooklyn Camera Club).
Top: Adrian Martense, center, with pinhole camera, along with two other men and a boy on a tricycle, c.1880
Martense was descended from Dutch settlers who came to Brooklyn in the 17th century. His family's land is now part of Greenwood Cemetery. Some of the photos in this post show a rural side of 19th century Brooklyn; others were taken downtown and show buildings that still exist. Most of these were taken on March 15, 1888, when Martense evidently set out to record the aftermath of the great blizzard in several different neighborhoods. And aren't we glad he did?

This is just a tiny sample of the Brooklyn Historical Society's Martense collection; you can see them all right here.
IN A MOVE THAT COMES AS A GREAT RELIEF to those who care about New York City's historic architecture, the Landmarks Preservation Commission has reversed its recent decision to drop nearly 100 properties from its calendar, where many had languished for five years or more. It's an administrative maneuver that doesn't necessarily save anything, but at least insures that these properties — all of which were in the initial stages of being designated as landmarks, with research, public hearings, and a vote to follow — will remain under the oversight of the LPC and can't be willy-nilly altered or, God forbid, demolished.
Top: c.1880 Second Empire cottage, Snug Harbor, Staten Island
Mid-19th c. Ploughman's Bush Building, North Bronx
Local preservation groups, including including Landmark West and the Historic Districts Council, went ballistic when the decision to remove the properties from LPC oversight was announced just after Thanksgiving. The outcry succeeded in getting the LPC to keep these 100 or so properties on the calendar.
St. Barbara's Church, 1910, Spanish Baroque, Bushwick, Brooklyn
For me, the eye-opener was an email from the New York Landmarks Conservancy, showing a number of fine and important buildings throughout the five boroughs that I had no idea were quite unprotected. The images in this post come from that email.
Curtis House, c. 1850 Romantic Revival cottage, Staten Island
Better-known and much-beloved sites that remain in this netherworld — for the reversal of the 'de-calendaring' was merely a postponement — include Brooklyn's Greenwood Cemetery and the neon Pepsi sign in Long Island City.
Left to right, above: 2 Oliver Street, 1821 Federal style townhouse, Chinatown; 138 Second Avenue,1832 Federal style rowhouse, East Village; 57 Sullivan Street, 1816 Federal style townhouse, SoHo

WILLIAMSBURG IS A NEIGHBORHOOD I've never known well, even after 37 years in Brooklyn.
I know it slightly better now, after a few hours spent wandering its streets with a friend who moved there recently and scoped out some intriguing shops and cafes. I hope such little pockets of funk and charm survive the onslaught of new residential development and shopping that threatens to make the area indistinguishable from any other city.
Wander along with us, won't you?
Above: fading signage. Below: graffiti and garbage they haven't cleaned up yet
Above: "The new Williamsburg," building lobby on N. 5th St.
Lunch at House of Small Wonder,below, could not have been cozier on a bitterly cold and windy day.
Possibility for another day, below: Bakeri on Wythe Avenue, which has a pleasant garden.
Ditto the garden next to the stainless steel diner, above, now a Mexican restaurant. File that one away for springtime.
Heavenly sight and scent for those weary of winter already: flowers at Sprout Home, below.
Grand building on Grand Street, above, so far put to no purpose.
Below, the six-month-old Sharktooth, repository of vintage textiles, from antique rag and Caucasian carpets to quilts and bedspreads dyed navy and black.
Is it happy hour already? Let's pop in to Miss Favela, a Brazilian 'botequim' (watering hole), practically under the Williamsburg Bridge. It's owned by the same people who own the popular Felix on West Broadway, said Pablo, our chatty bartender, below, as he muddled lime and sugar for our capirinhas. The place hops (or rather, sambas) on weekends, but we had it to ourselves this Wednesday afternoon.
Nice finally getting to know you, Williamsburg.

Tag: Traditional Marriage
Number of states legalizing same-sex marriage doubles in 2014
The year 2014 saw the number of U.S. states recognizing same-sex marriages nearly double over the previous year — an expansion so profound it had some clergy wondering if they should perform any civil marriages at all.
What does the Church teach about Marriage?
– Catholic marriage: Sacramental, communitarian and missionary
– What happens if marriage is redefined?
– Why is the marriage amendment necessary?
What happens if marriage is redefined?
When a court or legislature adopts a definition of marriage as the union of any two people regardless of gender, legal experts — on both sides of the marriage debate — agree that there will be important consequences for society. Scholars from some of the nation's most respected law schools have written that the issue impacts a host of other issues, ranging from religious liberty, to individual expression of faith, to education and the professions.
Sex and marriage: An expression of love that is open to new life
The Catholic Church, in its official teaching, has always taken a positive view of sexuality in marriage. Marital intercourse, says the Catechism of the Catholic Church, is "noble and honorable," established by God so that "spouses should experience pleasure and enjoyment of body and spirit."
Catholic marriage: Revealing Christ, building community and reaching out to others
"Spirituality" is a way to live out one's religious beliefs. A spirituality of marriage, therefore, is a way to help husbands and wives live out the vocation of marriage in light of faith. Catholic marriage has a distinctive spirituality that is sacramental, communitarian and missionary.
A faithful, exclusive, lifelong union between a man and a woman
A faithful, exclusive, lifelong union between a man and a woman
Marriage: Speaking the truth with love
What we do and say in the coming months will matter greatly
Talking about the marriage amendment with family, friends
Amendment supporter offers best approaches to take in current debate
Conscience and the 'both-and' of the marriage amendment
Good will and social acceptance of all persons does not logically require that the legal definition of marriage be changed for everyone.
A closer look at marriage and the marriage amendment
Marriage is a natural and universal institution that unites a husband and wife and any children born from their union. It is not something that government creates or
makes up.
Definition of marriage gets renewed attention across country
The public debate over the definition of marriage received renewed attention this month as voters in North Carolina became the 31st state to approve a constitutional amendment upholding traditional marriage — an action followed a day later by President Barack Obama's declaration during a nationally televised interview that he supports same-sex marriage.

Now Is the Wrong Time for Protests
Protesters stage die-in at King of Prussia Mall: http://t.co/5PReKej3Dj pic.twitter.com/oK2gIS22EL
— NBC10 Philadelphia (@NBCPhiladelphia) December 20, 2014
It was Saturday night at the King of Prussia Mall and my 8-year-old son, David, wanted to see Santa. He took a picture with his mom's iPhone of some toys he just saw and wanted to show Santa. Welcome to life in 2014.
We got to the Santa area in the middle of the mall and his helpers were putting up the velvet rope. "Santa has to take a quick break," we were told. I pleaded and they allowed just one more. The velvet rope clipped on the pole and I was dad of the day.
As I stood waiting for my son's turn with the big man, the helper confided in me that he needed to rush Santa out of there before the "Die-In." A large group of people protesting the shooting deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner were going to sprawl themselves like so many dead bodies next in the fake snow and next to the giant candy canes, in hopes of disrupting Christmas shopping and visits with Santa.
On cue a little girl cried at the news that she would not be able to talk to Santa. She was told that he needed to feed the reindeer. In truth, his security team had to whisk him away before the embarrassing photo op of Santa standing jolly amid the mock dead.
It was surreal until the anger set in. How dare they!

Morning Headlines: Mixed-Use Development Planned Near King of Prussia Mall
King of Prussia Malls's planned addition isn't the only thing coming to the area: the Inquirer's Jason Laughlin reports that the former Valley Forge Golf Course, a 135-acre parcel of land near the mall, is set to get apartments, a hospital, and further shopping.
Laughlin says that the on-site Wegmans, which has been there for two years, will eventually be in the company of a "Children's Hospital of Philadelphia facility, 249,985 additional square feet of retail, […] 365 residential units" and, one day, an extension of the Norristown High Speed Line. If you're wondering why this development would warrant an elevated line extension, that's because the community is expected to grow in coming years.

KOP Becomes the Montreal of Malls
When a co-worker first heard that the King of Prussia Mall would be expanding, she wrote, via chat, "WHY IS KING OF PRUSSIA EXPANDING??? IT'S ALREADY LIKE 55 MILES WORTH OF SHOPPING. I can't." This was a legitimate response, especially for those of us with credit card debt.
But the expansion isn't just about shopping. It's also about warmth, since one must now go outside to walk between the two malls, The Court and The Plaza. The expansion will make the entire site fully enclosed. For renderings and details, go here.
Ted Baker Is Having a Huge One-Day Sale Tomorrow
Here's some fun midweek shopping news for you: Tomorrow only, Ted Baker is having a major storewide sale. Every single item will be 20 percent off, both in store and online, all day long.
Morning Headlines: 18th-Century Philadelphia Goes to China
The village is called Southern 1910, will look exactly like Society Hill and will be in Dalian, a coastal city in northeastern China. The Inquirer's Erin Arvedlund has the details on how Chadds Ford's John Milner Architects won the business and impressed Chinese developers.
Dalian Common Property Development retained John Milner Architects to design and plan the gated community, where 200 Georgian-style brick homes will sell for between $1 million and $4 million. Of those, 65 have already been sold, ranging from 3,500 to a whopping 7,500 square feet.
In order to win the business in the first place, Milner told Arvedlund that he arranged a two-week long series of bus tours for the Chinese developers. They visited Fairmount Park, Cliveden and Mount Pleasant, among other 18th century city sites.
Refinery29 Is Coming to King of Prussia Mall This Saturday
Grab those calendars; Refinery29 is coming to King of Prussia Mall and we are majorly excited. Pop over to the Nordstrom Court this Saturday, September 20th, for a mashup of the lifestyle site and Simon, King of Prussia's parent company, for a day of shopping, beauty and style.
