Have you ever considered Alaska to be the center of the world? Although the Last Frontier may seem like one of the most isolated states in America, it is one of the only places in the world that is within 10 hours of the three biggest global markets: North America, Europe, and Asia! Not only that, but it's also the easternmost and westernmost state in the US (you may need to brush up on your 7th grade geography for that one).

THEN AND NOW

It’s easy to get lured in by shiny new objects, but in a world where the ‘new’ often eclipses the ‘old’, it’s important to remind ourselves that not all old things have to go. While diving into some historic projects with our architectural besties maybe inspire you to keep a few old things in the process…

ADVENTURE RESPONSIBLY

Travel is a wonderful way to broaden your horizons, but when places become too crowded, the dream can become a nightmare. With recent spotlights on over-tourism, it felt like a good time to remind ourselves how to explore responsibly. So here are a few things to consider on your next adventure.

TOBACCO AND REGRETS

These aren’t your everyday miniatures-but they do depict everyday things. Abi Trotman takes mini model making to a magical place with her eye for detail and a level of patience we may never achieve….
