The four partners have a solid mix of financial, technical, commercial and legal knowledge, supplemented with a healthy dose of opportunism and driven by passion and entrepreneurship.
We would like to share our skills in the field of:
project development: sourcing, purchasing, concepts, permits, technical realisation, sale, maintenance.
optimized legal, financial and tax structures.
establishment of a cooperation in which each party can recognize its objectives.
Futurn organises its business processes in function of the client and wants to help you to make the best choices, taking into account your needs and your budget. Therefor we focus on the concept of Total Cost of Ownership.
Total Cost of Ownership searches for the perfect mix between:
advantageous acquisition that does not compromise on quality
maintenance and consumption costs which are as low as possible
durability, quality and flexibility so that the resale value of your building stays as high as possible.
Not only the acquisition counts, but also the future costs such as maintenance, energy consumption, growth opportunities, management costs and resale value.
Two professionals, together representing 25 years of experience, are in charge of the daily management of Futurn. The financial and legal background of Frederik Baert and the technical background of Gunther Biddelo provide complementary skills. These competencies were used in other project companies for which they worked and are also important to develop further activities of Futurn.
Behind Futurn, there are two structual partners. Mathi Gijbels from Gijbels Group, an integrated construction group, and Serge Hannecart from L.I.F.E., a residential developer. They support our values and believe in long-term sustainability.
Het team van Futurn staat stevig in zijn schoenen…
Futurn gelooft in sterke structurele partners. Mathi Gijbels van Gijbels Group, een geïntegreerde bouwgroep, en Serge Hannecart van L.I.F.E., een residentieel ontwikkelaar garanderen kwaliteitsprojecten. Met hen kiezen we resoluut voor een duurzame langetermijn visie.

Haps Magazine
Haps is a magazine based out of Busan, South Korea. Directed towards foreigners, the magazine supplies articles about events and entertainment around the country.
I was approached to work as an art director on the magazine by a friend and fellow designer Christopher Cote. Together, we would maintain the design and layout of the magazine. We also designed ads for some advertisers and for the magazine itself.
This was my first time working on a layout that was longer than 20 pages. Both Chris and I worked as partners to lay out each issue. We also worked alongside editors and marketing personnel to organize the ads and articles.
Our first task was to establish a means of communication and organization with the Haps crew. We wanted to streamline the layout process as much as possible as Chris and I both worked remotely.
When we took over the layout and design process, we already had a template to work with from previous issues. However, much could be improved upon. With the a short turnaround time on each issue, we wanted to establish a solid layout first and make improvements second. Most of the improvements included cleaning and organizing the InDesign file. However, by the second issue we started plans to redesign the cover as the Haps crew wanted to stand out from other magazines on the shelves. By the third issue the redesigned cover was in play. We enlarged the logo and with each issue had it interact with the cover image. We also ditched the guidelines for the title and text (the previous issues used the same basic template, same location, same font...boring). So, we put our typographic skills to work to compliment each issues cover image.
As stated previously, we also took charge of some ad designs. One of which was Sharky's Bar and Grill, also located in Busan. I was tasked with creating a two-page advertisement for the restaurant. I focused on Sharky's weekly specials and made them the prime focus of the ad, with some great images doing most of the talking.
This project was a massive learning experience for me. I think I experienced every emotion a human has during the design phase; satisfaction being greatest. My last issue Chris and I had to stretch and flex our business and communication muscles, and I had to dust off that part of my brain where I kept my InDesign knowledge. It felt amazing to be part of a team again and build something great!
December 2015 - October 2016

LYNK & Co sounds like some sort of deodorant.
It is in fact a Chinese car firm who have released pictures of a cracking new sporty saloon.
The 03 Concept makes its debut at the Shanghai Motor Show this week and sits on a platform developed with Volvo – the next XC40 crossover will use the same architecture.
So it's pedigree is good – what about the rest?
It certainly is one of the prettiest sports saloon ever built in China, from certain angles it's very alluring.
The front end has shades of a VW Jetta yet curiously reminds me of a Porsche Panamera with interesting vertical LED headlamps.
It's profile is a tad too chunky to be that sporty but it's not unpleasant.
The interior is where the biggest lead in design comes and proves that the Chinese are making rapid strides in quality and user-friendliness.
The firm say that the car will be permanently connected to wifi hotspots and that you can actually buy the car entirely online.
It gets its world premiere at the Shanghai Show this Wednesday. We'll find out then if it really has the Lynk effect.

Dear Parents, Carers and Visitors,

Upon arriving home from Cultural Routes, my dad and I were chatting about things he had read on the blog. He brought up an interesting point. He said, "There seems to be a feeling of guilt among your generation towards being American." The more I thought about it, the more I realized how true his statement is. Why is that? Sure, maybe we speak fewer languages than the rest of the world, we have a president that loves Twitter a bit too much, and at times we struggle with ethnocentrism. But what culture is perfect? What nation has it all together? When I look at our nation, of course I see its flaws. But beyond that, I see that we are a model for democracy, we strive for good education and equality, and we smile at people.
We American students were loud and obnoxious sometimes, but no more than the Italians, or the drunk Germans after a football game. We were kind and friendly to strangers, something the Germans haven't quite taken to. We traveled with organization and punctuality, something our tour guide, Olga, pointed out makes us generally easier to work with than the Italians. History has shown that the United States fights bravely, not just for ourselves, but for the freedoms of people all over the world. I must also mention that the United States has an abundance of ice, free bathrooms, and reasonably priced water. 🙂
There are so many things I experienced and appreciated about other cultures as we traveled through Europe. But, as much as my eyes were opened to the cultures of other countries, my eyes were reopened to the culture of my very own country. I've been reminded of the small things that make life here comfortable – things I too often take for granted.
When our flight from Rome landed at DFW, Kendall pulled out her phone and began playing the song "Proud to be an American." The four of us girls laughed and sang along, genuinely happy to be back in the States.
Each time I return home after traveling abroad, I look forward to going through United States customs. I approach the desk, get my passport stamped, receive a smile, and hear "welcome home." Every time, I am reminded of how sweet it is to call this great nation home. Let the rest of the world form their opinions about Americans. As for me… I'm proud to be an American.

For as long as I've been going to Eslava (basically as long as I've lived here) I have loved THOSE honey pork ribs. The flavour, the texture, the wonderful comfort food aspect of that dish. And so I decided to try making a "home kitchen" version of it. After a small glitch when my newly-installed oven refused to cooperate the other day (my landlord quickly had the problem fixed – best landlord ever!) it was time to give it a go. And well… I almost nailed it!
I had been given some tips by the owner of Eslava, my friend Sixto. But of course trying to recreate something made in a professional kitchen at home is always tricky. But the result was pretty damn fine. The flavour was perfect, just like at Eslava, but I didn't quite get the "fall off the bone" texture of the meat. I think I know why but, again, I will have to tweak the recipe so that it works at home. Which means I'm going to have to make these babies again sometime! Not a bad prospect at all. Who wants to come over next time?
Since there is no garlic in this recipe, I decided to add some on the side, and made my first ever whole-baked garlic (delicious!). I also made some "smashed" pan-fried potatoes. Then Peter @SVQconcierge and I watched a couple episodes of David Chang's Ugly Delicious on Netflix while we ate… food obsessed much?

We tried a drink that claims to prevent Asian alcohol redness
SINGAPORE — Alcohol flush, sometimes referred to as "Asian glow," can be so embarrassing for sufferers. Just a couple of sips of alcohol and people take one look at your bright red face and start asking if you're okay, if you need to take a break, if you're already drunk.
Scientists say the condition is because of a gene present in an estimated 15% of the general population, and a massive 70% of East Asians. Initially thought to be a result of the inability to break down alcohol, we now understand that it's the contrary — that people with the gene metabolize alcohol way faster than others, causing a quicker build-up of toxins in the liver which causes the flushing, as well as heart palpitations and generally feeling warmer.
"mashable.com/2016/01/19/north-korea-hangover-free-alcohol/" is not a valid see-also reference
There are ways to counter the effects, which include taking histamine blockers to prevent flushing.
One company in Austin, Texas, makes a drink that claims to be a more natural way of combating redness. Taken about half an hour before alcohol, the drink from startup Before Elixir preps your body to handle the alcohol.
We tested it out on two subjects, who each drank a can of beer and predictably turned beet-red within minutes. One of them even started getting blood shot eyes.
Derek's ears started turning red and feeling hot after the drink
After some food and a three-hour break to let the effects subside, they drank the potion and waited.
"Ugh, it's spicy going down," said Sharon Yar. The other subject, Derek Cai, said he found it somewhat unpleasant, and pointed out that if he pre-gamed on a big night out with this, it might end up working by blunting his appetite for alcohol, tasting like that.
Still, when they later chugged another can of beer each and waited, they found that they didn't turn red, and Cai said he didn't get the headache he expected either.
Would they use it again? Probably, if there was a big celebration planned and there was a lot of obligatory drinks to be had, they agreed.
"But really, it's kind of useful turning red this easily anyway," said Yar. "This way, nobody forces you to drink more and you can get away with just a beer for the night."

Measurement of the cross section ratio σttbb/σttjj in pp collisions at √s=8 TeV
MetadataShow full item record
The first measurement of the cross section ratio σttbb/σttjj is presented using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.6 fb-1 collected in pp collisions at √s = 8 TeV with the CMS detector at the LHC. Events with two leptons (e or μ) and four reconstructed jets, including two identified as b quark jets, in the final state are selected. The ratio is determined for a minimum jet transverse momentum pT of both 20 and 40 GeV/c. The measured ratio is 0.022±0.003(stat)±0.005(syst) for pT>20GeV/c. The absolute cross sections σttbb and σttjj are also measured. The measured ratio for pT>40GeV/c is compatible with a theoretical quantum chromodynamics calculation at next-to-leading order. © 2015 CERN for the benefit of the CMS Collaboration.

The ceremony (airing Feb. 10 on CBS) will mark the first time either fun. or the Black Keys have performed on the Grammys stage. Swift, Mumford & Sons, and Rihanna are all veterans of the broadcast.
Each act was ostensibly chosen based on the amount of nominations they garnered. That doesn't really explain Frank Ocean, Jay-Z, and Kanye West's respective absences from the roster so far, but more performers are expected to be announced soon.

Air New Zealand's issues have continued to make headlines in 2018, with customers unhappy with the calibre of planes covering the Dreamliner fleet while the aircraft receive maintenance.
Last year, an Air New Zealand flight to Japan experienced an engine abnormality, resulting in it returning to Auckland - then a week later an aircraft bound for Buenos Aires had a similar problem, and also returned to Auckland.
This brought about an urgent maintenance programme, meaning Air New Zealand had to schedule its Dreamliner fleet for lengthy maintenance in the lead-up to Christmas.
Engine manufacturer Rolls Royce said the cost of maintenance work reached around NZ$320 million in 2017, but it expected that amount to double in 2018 before tapering off in 2019.
The replacement aircraft are from European charter company Hi-Fly, and are operating on some flights between Auckland and Sydney and Auckland and Perth.
On the weekend, passengers spoke to Newshub about how untidy the aircraft were.
Air New Zealand says the current fleet situation, which it describes as "challenging", is no fault of theirs.
The airline says it's been proactively contacting customers who are due to fly on the Hi-Fly aircraft to inform them of the difference in the on-board experience, and have waived penalty fees for anyone who wants to change their flights to one operated with Air New Zealand aircraft. It has even offered credit and refunds.
- Investigation underway after 'engine abnormalities' on Air New Zealand 787 planes
- Pictures reveal damage to Air New Zealand 787 engine
AirlineRatings.com have awarded Air New Zealand the title of best airline in the world numerous times, and its aviation commentator Geoffrey Thomas said the airline was left with very few options when the Dreamliner issue sprung up so close to Christmas - a time when airlines tend to maximise their fleet resources.
"Unfortunately Hi-Fly is just a charter airline, and is nowhere near the standard of Air New Zealand, [which] is the best airline in the world - and any other airline is going to compare badly."
Mr Thomas said although it's a drop in standards, he doesn't see it damaging the airline's reputation for award-winning customer service long-term.
Air New Zealand expect the Dreamliners to be fully back in action by mid-April, meaning the replacement Hi-Fly aircraft will no longer be needed.

The best Chinatown restaurants in NYC
Dumplings, tacos, ramen—the best Chinatown restaurants in New York City serve all that and much more
New York's best Chinatown restaurants are more than dim sum and Peking duck—although, the downtown neighborhood is rife with fantastic options for both. No, the food possibilities expand well beyond some of the city's best Chinese restaurants to include creative Mexican restaurants and Cali-coolcafes. Whether you're looking for traditional soup dumplings or French-Malaysian fare, these Chinatown restaurants have something for you.
RECOMMENDED: Full neighborhood guide to Chinatown NYC
Best Chinatown restaurants
1. Bo Ky
Slippery noodles submerged in rich, concentrated broths are the stock-in-trade (no pun intended) at this peach-tiled Chinatown spot. Dozens of options include searing teochew chili paste with flat noodles and potent mustard greens. Service is brisk and the language barrier impenetrable for non–Chinese speakers, but the taste-to-cost ratio is slanted ridiculously in your favor.
2. Spicy Village
A hole-in-the-wall temple to the cuisine of China's Henan heartland, Spicy Village is a pilgrimage site for adventurous eaters and regional cuisine purists. The illustrated wall-mounted menu boasts noodle soups, dumplings, soup dumplings and their Big Tray of Chicken, made up of bone-in poultry chunks and potatoes marinated in Budweiser, chili oil, star anise and Szechuan peppercorns.
3. Kopitiam
The Malaysian café is now bigger and (arguably) better with an all-day menu of affordable small plates and snacks like nasi lemak in a new cutesy location down the block.
4. Tasty Hand-Pulled Noodles Inc.
Housemade wheat noodles are served in the broth of your choice at this tiny Chinese eatery. Lines are long but move quickly with everyone eye these inexpensive and tender plates of noods. When it's nice out, take you meal outside to the tables and chairs they set out on the street.
5. Mission Chinese Food
One of the city's most talked-about Chinese menus can be found at this San Francisco import on the fringes of Chinatown. But don't expect traditional dishes here—Mission Chinese Food celebrates an American take on Asian cuisine in all of its lost-in-translation charm. Though the buzz has simmered since chef-owner Danny Bowien first appeared, seemingly out of nowhere, on the NYC scene, the focus is still on searing hot Szechuan flavors in in-your-face dishes like thrice-cooked bacon, mapo tofu and kung pao pastrami, plus supersized family-style feasts of roast duck and prime rib.
6. Great N.Y. Noodletown
Over the years, Great N.Y. Noodletown has proved that it can deliver on the promise of its name. Choose from panfried selections (boiled angel-hair noodles that are lightly fried for a crunchy-soft texture) or softer preparations (served floating in a flavorful chicken broth) ordered with roasted pork, duck, chicken or ribs.
7. Dimes
At this SoCal-inspired café, the lineup can change weekly. Expect colorful plates with equal parts Japanese, South American and Mediterranean influences. The menu has highly Instagramable dishes for any time of the day, including a stellar breakfast menu.
8. Jing Fong
For some, Jing Fong might be intimidating: It's marked by giant escalators, a vast dining room and walkie-talkie–toting waiters marshalling diners. But it has remarkable dim sum. The shrimp shumai with glass noodles is exceptional, as is the ground pork and shrimp wrapped in a big black mushroom. The freshness and originality of its most mundane offerings keep people coming back for more.
9. Chinese Tuxedo
Housed inside an old two-story opera house on Chinatown's Doyers Street, the contemporary Chinese restaurant is fitted with black half-moon banquettes, towering tropical plants and plenty of burnished brass define the sprawling downstairs dining room. The menu offeres takes on Chinese classics including dumplings and noodles that are as refined as the space itself.
10. Xi'an Famous Foods
Part of a local Chinese-food chain featuring the mouth-tingling cuisine of the ancient capital of Xi'an along China's Silk Road, this spot bears the same short menu of spicy noodles and cumin-flavored burgers but in roomier digs. A mix of antique touches (porcelain figurines from the Ming dynasty) and modern effects (framed photos of the late Anthony Bourdain) decorates the 40-seat restaurant.
11. Peking Duck House
Your waiter parades the roasted duck past your party before placing it on the center show table. A chef brandishes his knives dramatically, then slices the aromatic, crisp-skinned, succulent meat with great flair. Yes, the menu lists many dishes besides Peking duck, but reading it will only delay the inevitable.
12. Oriental Garden
The first thing you see at Oriental Garden are the crabs waving their claws inside a front-window tank. That's a good sign, for this Chinatown stalwart (with brightly lit dining-hall decor) specializes in fresh, Cantonese-style seafood and embraces a lengthy menu of dishes such as steamed whole fish, glazed prawns with broccoli, and clams galore.
13. Aux Epices
Talk about a melting pot: A French and Chinese husband-and-wife team—Marc Kaczmarek and Mei Chau—is dishing out traditional Malaysian food in Little Italy. The 550-square-foot spot is humbly outfitted with old-fashioned tin ceilings, exposed brick and black-and-white tiled floors, and features a rotating selection of Kaczmarek's colorful photography of Manhattan street art.
14. Royal Seafood Restaurant
Even in the city's dim sum center, Royal Seafood stands out from its neon-ceilinged, cart-toting neighbors with its meals served family-style at large communal tables. While classics like chicken feet, turnip cake, short ribs and a host of deep-fried dishes lure the brunch-hour rush, it's the off-the-menu lobster that garners rave reviews well into the evening.
15. Nom Wah Tea Parlor
One of New York's first dim sum houses opened in 1920 at a crook in Doyers Street referred to as "the bloody angle." That Chinatown passage witnessed the grisly havoc of the Tong gang wars, but the bakery and tea shop has a sweeter reputation: Its almond cookies and moon cakes were legendary. Come for the dim sum, where each mouthwatering plate is cooked fresh to order.

Portlaoise CBS students 'dive into life'
A brave team of teachers and students from St Marys CBS jumped from a plane at 10,000 foot last month in aid of positive mental health.
The skydives took place in perfect conditions on March 27 in the Irish Parachute club grounds in Clonbullogue, Offaly, ending the Portlaoise school's positive mental health week 'Dive into Life' literally on a high note.
Their aim was to raise awareness of positive mental health, and spread the core message of the Donal Walsh Foundation - to get help if you need it. The team raised €1934 for the Donal Walsh #livelife Foundation.
There was great excitement at the school as the nervous skydivers were wished good luck on their departure.
Student Ross Byrne was the first to jump followed by David McCabe and Matthew Hennessy. Ross described it as 'a once in a life time experience' taken aback by the breath-taking views.
Next up were the three teachers Geoff Brennan, Stephanie Buckley and Martina O'Neill and the final skydiver was student Omar Rasool.
"It was an exhilarating and exciting experience and I was honoured to do it on behalf of such a great foundation and help spread the message," said Ms Buckley, co-ordinator of the Amber Flag team.
Mr Brennan enjoyed the experience so much he said "I now know why birds fly". while Ms Murphy recalled "falling through the clouds was a mighty experience".
Fionnbar Walsh, father of the late Donal, visited the school the day before the dive, and personally rang Ms Buckley that evening to ensure they all landed safely.
The skydivers are delighted with their achievement, and thank everyone who sponsored and wished them well.
The Amber Flag team have more exciting events lined up. The school will host the Cycle Against Suicide cyclists as they stop in Laois on May 8 and 9, with Scoil Criost Ri. See St Marys CBS Portlaoise Amber Flag Team on facebook.

Spoken Arts label, Cadabra Records, announces the looming release of Inferno, an incredibly ominous limited 7" release, featuring the convoluted horror poetry of celebrated American writer CLARK ASHTON SMITH. The Inferno EP marks the very first time any of CLARK ASHTON SMITH's works have been set to audio, bringing five of his intensely visceral and pictorial poems writhing to life. For this macabre venture, the author's words are delivered with gripping conviction through the voice of renowned horror literary scholar S. T. Joshi, whom here delivers his first of such readings, the release scored with appropriately horrifying tones by dark ambient/industrial outfit Theologian.
- Edition of 500 copies, transparent red vinyl
- 6 panel foldout sleeve
- Interview with S. T. Joshi on Clark Ashton Smith
- Art by Cadabra Records founder, Jonathan Dennison
- Sound by Theologian
Side A
01. Inferno
02. The Eldritch Dark
Side B
01. Nightmare
02. To Howard Phillips Lovecraft
Born on January 13th, 1893, in Long Valley, California, CLARK ASHTON SMITH was wholly home-schooled, and heavily engaged himself in a remarkable course of self-education, teaching himself Latin and reading all the way through Webster's unabridged dictionary. He began writing as early as 1904, producing both prose and poetry, but it was when he got in touch with George Sterling in 1911 that his career as a writer-and especially as a poet-took off. He had come into contact with H. P. Lovecraft in 1922, when Lovecraft wrote him a fan letter in which he waxed enthusiastic about some of his early poetry volumes. SMITH, in turn, read a lot of Lovecraft's short stories, both in manuscript and as they were published in the pulp magazine Weird Tales, founded in 1923. Around 1925, SMITH felt he needed to find a new direction in his writing, since his poetry wasn't gaining him much recognition. So he wrote the story "The Abominations of Yondo." He was stunned that Sterling didn't like it (the older poet said that "All highbrows think the 'Yondo' material outworn and childish. The daemonic is done for, for the present"), but Lovecraft and others loved it. In 1929 he began writing fiction in great quantity: he would produce more than 100 stories over the next six years. These stories made SMITH's reputation as a writer of fantasy, appearing in such venues as Weird Tales, Wonder Stories, and Strange Tales. These five works represented on Inferno are only a tiny sampling of the nearly one-thousand poems CLARK ASHTON SMITH wrote over a period of nearly fifty years. Like all his poetry, they are written with supreme care and craftsmanship, as Smith carefully weighs the imaginative impact of every word and pays great attention to the poetic rhythm that can create an atmosphere of weirdness, fantasy, and cosmic menace. And yet, we also find pathos, melancholy, and poignancy in these poems. SMITH could express the full range of human emotions in his verse, and we are fortunate that he so often chose to focus on the emotions of terror and strangeness in poems that will endure for as long as English verse is read.
CLARK ASHTON SMITH's fiction has demonstrably influenced the work of both his contemporaries (such as Lovecraft, who incorporated some elements from Smith's stories into his own tales of the Cthulhu Mythos) and successors, such as Jack Vance, Roger Zelazny, and Neil Gaiman.

This 2012 field season marks the third summer that the University of Idaho (UI) has held an archaeological field school at the Kelly Forks Work Center site, a prehistoric upland hunting camp on the North Fork of the Clearwater River in north-central Idaho. I'm Laura, a graduate student at UI and my master's thesis will detail our investigations from 2010 through 2012. The field work schedule goes from Mondays through Thursdays so my hands and feet are cleaner today than they have been all week. I have spent my June 29th copying forms, writing emails, uploading photos, and performing a myriad of other minor tasks (removing sediment from equipment) and domestic routines (laundry) which are all reserved for Fridays. I don't think much elaboration is needed on this aspect, but it's all linked to recuperation from the labors of this week and preparation for that of next week.
The field school is about teaching students the practical and technical methodology of documenting cultural material and connecting these efforts with the overall context of human activity in the region. It is because of their diligence and hard work that a segment can be added to the story of some of Idaho's early residents. Surrounded by the steep ridges of the Bitterroot foothills and tall forests of cedar, white pine, and Douglas fir, the 150 acre terrace where Kelly Creek joins the North Fork has clearly been an important stopping place for at least 10,000 years. The abundance of stone tools and debitage recovered from temporal occupations dating from the early to the late prehistoric periods provides a glimpse of a way of life that involved a strategic knowledge of local and regional resources. Hunting, fishing, and game processing were important pursuits of the people who utilized the site while the low-lying meadows and flood plains overlooking the river likely provided an excellent setting to repair and manufacture the tools that were used to accomplish these pursuits.
The first two summers at Kelly Forks resulted in the recovery of eight stemmed lanceolate bases stylistically associated with the Western Stemmed Point Tradition and the regional Windust phase (ca. 8,000 – 11,000 years BP), the earliest period of occupation in the Clearwater drainage. Five projectiles, both uniface and biface, dating to the Cascade phase (ca. 5,000 – 8,000) were also encountered along with anvils, two net weights, a sandstone shaft abrader, and numerous modified flakes and cobble tools. Recently the May 2012 issue of the UI alumni magazine, Here We Have Idaho, featured Kelly Forks and the findings from 2010 and 2011.
Next week will be our fourth this season and excavation so far has added three stemmed lanceolate bases, four Cascade phase tools, a third net weight, and a second shaft abrader to the assemblage. The late prehistoric component has similarly been strengthened by the appearance of several small side-notched and corner-notched arrow points in the upper strata. We are in the process of investigating a potential fire pit and have opened several trenches to connect anvil features and artifact concentrations that were encountered last summer. By summer's end we'll be in the midst of compiling all of the new obsidian for sourcing, selecting charcoal samples for radiocarbon dating, and painfully agonizing over which tools to send for residue testing. For now, I'm looking forward to the next few and final weeks (so little time!) of excavation. Part of the charm of doing archaeology is the thrill of not knowing precisely what is in store and it seems each week is better than the last. Kelly Forks is my thesis site and working there has shaped me in ways I've probably not yet realized. I know it will always be a special place for me; perhaps I share this with those who were also there long ago…

San Diego Daily Transcript
Wed, Aug 16, 2017
The 50-unit Patio Village apartment community located at 8501-8549 Glenhaven Street in San Diego has sold for $11.35 million.
The seller was Patio Village/Grossmont LLC, which is co-managed by the Sinatra Company of Buffalo New York and Next Space Development Inc., a San Diego development, construction and management company specializing in existing multifamily and ground-up residential projects. The buyer was Mar Group, a local San Diego income property investor specializing in multifamily properties and NNN investments. The property has a unit mix of 40 two-bedroom, one-bath apartments with average rents of $1600; five one-bedroom, one-bath apartments with average rents of $135; and five studios with average rents of $1100.
Next Space Development is co-managed by Rudy Medina and Richard Simis, both native San Diegans.
Simis oversaw a $1.2 million dollar renovation of the project, while Medina repositioned the property in the market. According to a news release, the renovation allowed them to raise rents.
Next Space Development has aligned with Siemienowski and Associates, known as S&A, a San Diego-based commercial real estate brokerage that serves investors in San Diego and Orange County. Todd Egan, a senior associate at S&A, was the selling agent for the transaction.
Juan-Pablo Mariscal, founder and president of the Mar Group, saw a good fit for his multifamily portfolio as a long-term holder of the apartment property, according to Egan.

Australian Candle Brands: 18 of the Best Undiscovered Makers
I truly believe that Australian candle brands make products that are far superior to the ones you can get overseas. There, I said it!
For me, candles are an undeniable you-can-never-have-too-many type of purchase. In this recent post I declared I had 39 scented candles in my home. Well, that was a while ago. I've since collected more. Don't judge. With that in mind, I consider myself pretty clued up on what makes a phenomenal candle.
For me, a candle is considered astounding if it has the following going for it:
- A killer vessel. Heavy is good. One I can reuse when the wax melts is even better
- A sublime label. I want it to look great when I'm styling it in my vignettes
- A fragrance for the gods. I need it to be like nothing my nostrils have whiffed before
- I'd like to say a reasonable price tag. But Lord knows if it's good, I'll pay anything!
I reckon the Australian candle brands I'm showing you in this post tick all of the boxes above. What also makes them so special is how different they all are.
I hate the expression 'something for everyone', but I do think it applies here. I mean, if you can't find something from this list of Australian candle brands that makes you swoon, I'm not sure we can be friends!
1. Tanda
Words can barely describe the love I have for Tanda candles. When it comes to local candle brands, this one cannot be beat.
I've followed the journey of Tanda since its first batch of candles landed back in 2014, and the range just continues to grow and improve.
This brand is always adapting its designs to stay up-to-date with current interior trends, so there's always something new to appreciate.
The Whiff Rating: Not too overpowering at all, so great for a living room, dining room or bedroom. Burn these bad boys for hours!
2. SOH Melbourne
A SOH candle landed in my PO box as a gift late last year and it's been the staple fragrance in my home office ever since (grab the Fig Tree scent if you're a first timer with this brand).
The packaging is what makes these Aussie candles so special, but the vessels they come in are pretty gasp-worthy as well.
There's a great sense of simplicity from this Melbourne brand, and the fragrance is powerful enough to fill an open plan living and dining room.
Long Lasting Sniffs: Because the scent is strong, you only need to burn them a little while. The fragrance remains long after you blow them out.
3. Murchisson-Hume
Good ol' Murchisson-Hume is a staple in my home. I got me the multi-purpose spray, the boys bathroom cleaner, the leather cleaner and more. Of course, the candles are absolutely sublime and worthy of your dollars, too.
The gorgeous dark glass vessel makes these Aussie candles feel a little moody. And let me assure you, the scents are sublime. I got my hands on the Gooseberry one you see above a little while ago and it is absolute nostril nirvana.
Native Style Vibes: The packaging and labels feel quote organic, so these candles play well in a vignette with native flowers and the like.
See more from Murchisson-Hume here.
4. Celia Loves
Now, colour in the home is something I cannot live without, and I always love me Australian candle brands that tap into a sense of whimsy. Celia Loves candles do just that and I'm falling hard to them.
The labels alone are pretty phenomenal, but the scents are just as divine. With fragrances like Sweet Pea and Vanilla up for grabs, it's the kinda candle you can have on all day.
Bath Time Bliss: Celia Loves is more than just Aussie candles. There's salty soaks in the range too which contain essential oils and dried flowers. Hello relaxation!
Check out more from Celia Loves here.
5. Hut and Manor
Many moons ago, Hut and Manor sent me a candle to sample. This was when I was still living in Sydney. It was love at first whiff and I am still infatuated.
The gorgeous black glass vessel it came in was so simple, and yet so chic. The range is inspired by travel and design. And let me assure you; when yours travels to your front door you'll be feeling inspired too.
Going into the colder months, give the Spanish Fig variety a go. It's sure to warm you up when you get home from work.
Michael Jackson approved: Like MJ sang, it don't matter if you're black or white. Both vessels are equally stunning, so maybe grab one of each.
Explore the Hut and Manor collection here.
6. Maisey
Not only is the packaging of Maisey Candles so wonderfully on-trend (love the grid pattern on the box the candle comes in), but the range of scents is positively mind-blowing too.
I also love how this brand came to be. Creator Sarah's great grandmother Maisey used to make her own candles, and passed the recipe down each generation. It's a beautiful story and a beautiful brand.
From Little Things, Big Things Grow: Maisey candles feature a strong scent, so you're best to pop them in an entryway or large room and let the fragrance waft about your home.
Click here to see more from Maisey.
7. Zen Moments
Zen Moments Candles have been on the candle scene since 2009 and have been filling my home with scented goodness for quite some time.
My top pick from their collection has gotta be the Vanilla Bean and Patchouli, or give the Sea Salt Caramel a go if you want a candle that's good enough to eat.
More than Wax and Wicks: I love a brand that offers more than one product. Zen Moments also have reed diffusers and room sprays, so give one of each a red hot try.
Click here for more from Zen Moments.
8. Lumira
Lumira likes to pride itself on being one of the best Australian candle brands. And you know what? It 100% are!
The black and gold packaging, the weight of the vessels, the scents themselves (Balinese Ylang Ylang for me please!); it all adds up to one of the best scented candle brands in Australia.
Even the travel candles, which come in gorgeous little luxe tins, have a scent so divine you'll be holidaying around the clock.
Try the Trend Varieties: The brand also has limited edition candles in collaboration with other creative peeps.
See what's so good about Lumira here.
9. Sassy Soy
Hand-poured in Sydney's Northern Beaches, Sassy Soy Candles' best variety has gotta be the Relaxation Essential Oils candle. Take it from me; I own it.
Lighting this bad boy when you're having a bath is like being transported to a dayspa. It contains lavender, cedarwood, geranium, ylang, orange and a whole lot more.
There are other options in their range too though. In fact, when it comes to the best scented candle brands in Australia, it's hard to beat this extensive range.
Almost Too many to Choose From: They have over 40 scents available for your sniffing pleasure.
Click here for more Sassy Soy goodess.
10. Coco Lux
What I love about Coco Lux is that, sure, they're luxurious. The name suggests that and the packaging and vessels are on point too. But there's also a strong moral code at play here too.
The products are made from coconut wax, which makes them super Earth-friendly. So you not only get a dose of sophisticated fragrance bouncing about your home, but you also get peace of mind that there's nothing nasty hitting your nostrils.
Added Bonus: The copper, brass and onyx vessels are all recyclable too.
Find out more about Coco Lux here.
11. Glasshouse
Glasshouse is like a staple in the Aussie candle market, so you probably know them well already. I won't bang on too much about them, except to say that I love all of the different varieties they have on offer.
The vessel above is by far my fave in terms of shape and style. So chic and geometric. But they have more traditional, classic styles if you swing that way.
Equality is the new Black: They have a new Love is Love candle on the market, which is giving me all sorts of joy and rapture.
Click here to check out Glasshouse candles.
12. Miss Lissy Candles
If you have a little attitude, you need to get a little of Miss Lissy. This brand is the big kahuna of custom text on candles, and I love the idea of creating your very own personalised piece.
It's not all custom made, though. If shopping Mr & Mrs candles is your cuppa tea, why not grab one of the #GirlBoss candles or even the See You Next Tuesday one (the latter is just hilarious!).
The Whole Kit: Miss Lissy also stocks wick trimmers and dippers, so you'll never lose your candle to a stuck, drowning wick again!
Click here to see the collection.
13. R2 Designs
Gracie Ferro had a dream after her children were born. To create and sell clean, non toxic and non-parrafin candles in her home. The result: the amazing R2 Designs.
I cannot explain just how chic-tastic the vessels and packaging from this brand is. Add to that the fact that they have a men's fragrance and I'm sold. Gimme one of everything!
Clean and Cool: You need to get all over the activated charcoal soap from this brand. It looks amazing.
Click here for more R2 Designs candles.
14. Circa Home
I've had the regular Circa's, the mini Circa's, and the Christmas circa's, and all of them are just as amazing as one another.
The Christmas candle from this brand is so good that I use it throughout the year! Why should the nose only experience joy in December?
Clean those Mitts: Circa Home also produce hand wash which I highly recommend. It's soothing and sublime, so give it a try as well.
See more of the Circa Home candle collection here.
15. Ecoya
There's a timeless elegance about Ecoya that I've been drawn to for years, as their diverse candle range has come in and out of my home.
Their latest limited edition range feels particularly on-trend given what's happening in interiors this year, so I'd head their first to purchase if you're new to this brand.
Body Love: It's not all nostril nirvana here. The brand also makes body products so all of your bod can benefit.
Check out the Ecoya range here.
16. Maison Blanche
I remember when these guys hit the market back in 2013 when I was still living in Sydney. They were stunners then and they're even more amazing now.
This Aussie brand is proudly vegan (they never test on animals) and you'll be pleased to know that they produce more than just candles. I've road tested their hand wash and lotions too and am happy to report that they're utterly gorgeous as well.
They also stock diffusers and room sprays, so you can spread the Maison Blanche lover across your home!
Check out more from them here.
17. The Candle Library
The team behind The Candle Library share my excitement, love and adoration of candles. They know that a good candle can be life-changing.
This passion has been poured into their online emporium, which is packed with unique candles you're not likely to have seen before. The one above from PF Candle Co is my fave. Seriously, just look at it!
Best.Service.Ever: The gang have a candle subscription service so you can have candles arriving all the times. Yes, yes, and yes.
Learn more about The Candle Library here.
18. Inoko
Last but not least is the divine Inoko; a gorgeous Sydney-based business that creates the stunning candles you see above.
The vessels are made from marble, timber and concrete. And the best thing about them is that you can reuse the container over and over (the entire candle itself can lift out of the vessel so you can continually update).
Always on-Trend: Marble will never go outta style, let's face it, so I'm 100% smitten with those ones in particular.
Check out the rest from Inoko here.
So there you have it, the best Australian Candle Brands!
Need more candle goodness? We're a bit obsessed here at TLC and have written about candles many, many, many times before.

I have to agree with you that candles are one of those essentials in your home.
My only negative with this post is that I am now tempted by the beautiful ones you mentioned lol.
I love having candles burning during day or night and my all time favourite is a winter bubble bath with a glass of bubbles and essential oil candles burning ☺15 August, 2015
Tracey Vincent
Thank you so much for this very comprehensive list- I would never have found many of these brands on my own6 November, 2018
Lynley Anderson
Hi Chris,
We have a beekeeping business and I was just thinking of making some beeswax candles in different moulds and vessels, with essential oils added. I was wondering if you thought that they would be popular. Beeswax has a very distinct smell and also has health benefits.11 December, 2019
Bernadette Dawson
Hi Chris, You can never have too many Candles, ever!! Lol……..Have you had a Soy Candle from "Exotique Candles" yet? Gorgeous fragrances that fill your space hot or cold, long lasting and, stunning glassware that can absolutely be re-purposed and re styled long after the wax has melted!!! Great value! All natural, no nasties and they smell divine. Diffusers and Men's products also.29 February, 2020
Thanks for this article. I also like the brands:
Luxuriate: (they offer a marble candle holder that you just place refills into and don't have to worry about cleaning out after the candle burns down.
Sol Factorie: they have cute ceramic containers and great fragrances, also shipping is quick
Swik: they have great looking candle containers and fragrances31 May, 2020
Thank you for your list.
I am new to candles and recently bought a candle that caused my walls to go black. I am wondering if you have tested that with your list. The candle I bought was not that cheap and was from a reputable home ware store. The brand I bought was not on your list so that was good to see.9 July, 2020
I love Byron Bay Candles, especially their 4 essential oil blends. I have ordered these for friends many times who always love them. They look great too as does their stall at Byron and Bangalow markets.10 July, 2020
Jamie Grey
Love the variety and am going to get on to getting some of these as I can never be without the latest candles! My partner and I came across the folk at Manor Road https://manorroad.com.au/ a month ago and while their box designs are gorgeous…they smell even better 🙂 Highly recommend! They're hand made in Perth.15 July, 2020
