Beautiful tilework on the TAC Aquatic Centre in Papua New Guinea

Niugini Link as an appointed distributor for Laticrete in the South Pacific Islands facilitated the specification and distribution for the Laticrete swimming pool concourse tiling system for the 2015 South Pacific Games venue, a milestone project in Papua New Guinea. 

Steven W. Sinclair, Managing Director of Niugini Link put into this project a great deal of effort in conjunction with the Laticrete Technical Support Team lead by Fred Gray to insure that the tilework installed with Laticrete Materials will be durable and low maintenance.

Niugini Link and Laticrete continue to enjoy growing success in the PNG market distributing the Laticrete system.

Subject: PTK experience. .

I have never been one to say I know everything. Working with LATICRETE products, I've come to have enough confidence on my own because I know the products I use will give me and my client that satisfaction of a job well done.  From HYDRO BAN tile waterproofing products to thinset to the new shower drains.  I learned  so many NEW things in this PTK. I'm now very confident to use LATICRETE Drains.  

I would like to thank you for these programs.  The other great benefit is meeting new people in the industry. I met some really nice people. Your entire team in Corona, California are some of the most caring and very knowledgeable representatives.  Gerard really went above and beyond  to accommodate my stay and that I was well informed of ALL the new products from LATICRETE.  Once again, THANK YOU ! For everything that you and LATICRETE International does for us.

On Sunday I went on a tour of incredible homes in Greenwich Village, NYC

From their website:

This tour of six remarkable Village homes, .... held on Sunday, May 5, 2013, promises hidden gardens, unparalleled art, and historic charm. Following the tour, join us for an exclusive after party at another wonderful Village space.
Highlights include: a stately Italianate home with superb historic moldings and floors discovered and preserved during its recent renovation; an airy and effervescent townhouse with a style as playful as the family that lives there; and an 1853 home with a minimalist, serene décor and an exquisite central staircase.
The annual spring house tour is a benefit to raise funds in support of GVSHP’s work to educate about and advocate for the distinctive character and irreplaceable architecture of our neighborhoods.

 

KickStarter Project !

LowLine: An Underground Park on NYC's Lower East Side

What is the LowLine?

We want to transform an abandoned trolley terminal on the Lower East Side of Manhattan into the world’s first underground park.  It will be a new kind of public space, using solar technology for natural illumination, and cutting edge design to capture and highlight a very special industrial space.

A park… underground?!?

Ever wonder why there's so little green space in New York?  There aren’t a lot of empty plots of land just waiting to be turned into new parks. New Yorkers have had to be a little more creative, and must look in unusual places – the High Line, a park built on an old elevated rail trestle, is a great example.

Flash Mob - Auckland, New Zealand

From Wikipedia:

A flash mob (or flashmob) is a group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, perform an unusual and seemingly pointless act for a brief time, then quickly disperse, often for the purposes of entertainment, satire, and artistic expression. Flash mobs are organized via telecommunications, social media, or viral emails.
