    Issi Nanabeyin on Exhibitions, an Architect + Market That Inspire

    July 8, 2023 - By 

    Exploring work in between design, architecture, and art, East London-based Issi Nanabeyin defies genres. He searches within the university and beyond, carving space for larger perspectives, underrepresented voices, and diasporic identities.

    Shipshape and Refreshed: A Considered Renovation of an 1898 Cabin on Maury Island

    July 5, 2023 - By 

    This week we’re combing through the Remodelista archives for some of our all-time favorite summer stories. Here’s one: Maury Island, in Washington’s Puget Sound, is small. You’ve likely never heard of it before, but you may have heard of its larger neighbor, Vashon Island, to which it’s connected via an isthmus built by local homeowners in 1913.
