This looks so peaceful.

Located just outside the small town of Tilting on the eastern end of Fogo Island, Squish Studio sits atop a rocky strip of coastline that could rival Italy’s western coast. The ground beneath the studio is so rocky and uneven that the southern end of the building is raised up by 20 feet to maintain a level floor surface inside.

Designed by Saunders Architecture, Squish Studio provides all its own heating and power. It is equipped with a compost toilet, a small kitchenette, and a wood-burning stove. Power is supplied by stand-alone solar panels, mounted on an adjacent hilltop. At night, the studio, illuminated by the soft glow of its solar-powered lighting, appears as a lantern or a lighthouse placed strategically on a rocky cliff, overlooking the North Atlantic.

Cool!

Ever wonder what Manhattan was like when it was just a cowtown ruled by farmers? Check out the Randel Farm Map, a collaboration between the Museum of the City of New York and the Manhattan Borough’s President’s Office:

Made between 1818 and 1820 by John Randel, Jr., these one-of-a-kind, hand-drawn and hand-colored maps from the collection of the Office of the Manhattan Borough President document the island of Manhattan from today’s Houston Street to its northernmost tip in meticulous detail.

Check out that cowtown.

Cool!
