Craig Steely is a San Francisco and Hawaii based architect. He received his architecture degree from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo.

If you love the out of doors, as we do, Craig Steely is the architect for you. Crafting translucent lines to frame unobstructed views to the landscape, and, using beautiful wood, glass and stone, Steely intertwines the view with the viewer… pure art!

What better way to promote Peace than with cooking:

$21.48 through i Declare World Peace Signature

I Declare World Peace is the world’s largest ever art / science project / experiment. It is not a group. There is nothing to join. There is no cost. There are no members, and it requires no registration. While I Declare World Peace supports and embraces the activities of every other well-intentioned peace promoting endeavor, our experiment is based on the principle of “do less and accomplish more.” So, I Declare World Peace engages in no activities of any kind, except for encouraging everyone to periodically think the affirmation “I Declare World Peace” and from time to time write it on the wall of your favorite social media.

World peace can be achieved in our lifetime. In the meantime, and to help the process (since peace is up to us), please post “I Declare World Peace” on the walls of your social media sites. Thank you.

Please post and tweet the affirmation “I Declare World Peace” on your favorite social media site from time to time. Every time you see the tweet I Declare World Peace, please follow the person who tweeted it and then re tweet (RT) it. It will soon become like popcorn popping all over the world.

More and more in the Studio we are hearing “green” from our clients. Not only do they want a beautiful product, but, a beautiful product with a conscious. And this can be a great challenge for the designer especially with a high-end client. It can be simple to reclaim, reuse and “green” it up for the low and mid-level clients, but when designers are faced with a heavy-hitter the options become few.

The Bazzèo collection provides a green solution for the lux kitchen and bath client and…

will give A-listers,celebrities and industry movers and shakers a personalized green choice, rather than the cookie-cutter, euro-kitchens that currently dominate the luxury kitchen market. Building the kitchens from the ground up as well as one at a time, will give Bazzèo more latitude with their design styling and material selection, a welcomed change from the ridged and limited matrix now offered from other companies.
With less waste during the manufacturing process as well as an extensive selection of ecosensitive materials to choose from, Bazzèo is leading the way in sustainable kitchen manufacturing. The bazzèo kitchen can be designed for a green environment without compromising on design.

Because of its eco-centric manufacturing practices and socially responsible business commitments, Bazzèo is the first kitchen company to be awarded the Evergreen Assured
Standard.

All raw materials are toxic free, renewable and exceed all USGBC standards.
Manufacturing waste and cuttings are recycled or reused.
Low-VOC or water based lacquers are applied under environmentally controlled conditions.
All natural wood finishes and veneers are from certified and renewable resources.
Exceeding the LEED requirement of “Zero to No” off-gassing.
Made in the USA

The bazzèo factory is a real-world example in sustainability with its “Zero Waste” resource management system, whereby all waste is reconstituted or recycled into new materials.
