The Vinyl Lover

Why not commit to a turntable built to last a lifetime? The Scout Jr. by VPI is a newly introduced, simplifed version of the popular Scout turntable that has been made for over a decade. The Scout Jr. is a belt-drive turntable with a fully isolated AC synchronous motor, a nine-inch stainless-steel tonearm, and a premounted Ortofon 2M Red cartridge. A separate phono preamp is needed. Scout Jr. isn’t cheap, but it represents excellent value: Many products from VPI’s initial production runs are still in daily use. $1,499.

Walter A. Netsch Jr., Cadet Chapel (1959)

Looking more like a space-age battleship than a house of worship from certain angles, architect Walter A. Netsch Jr.’s futuristic temple is an angular assemblage of five-ton metal tetrahedrons, built out of the same aluminum panels as jet fighter wings. Winner of the American Institute of Architects' 25 Year Award and a United States National Historic Landmark, the set of 17 spires might as well be a squadron screaming towards the heavens.

It took less than five months for architect David Hovey Jr. to build this prefab home in Arizona's Paradise Valley, a rectangular pavilion with a shell of laminated glass, a perforated Cor-Ten steel roof, and an indoor courtyard where Hovey Jr.'s family take dips in the Olympic-size swimming pool. Polished concrete floors, Nakashima furniture, and a large black walnut bar are all found indoors.

Self-taught designer Tom Givone fixed up his 1882 row house in New York City over many years. Located in the Washington Heights neighborhood of upper Manhattan, the house—designed in 1882 by architect Gilbert Robinson Jr. to resemble an 18th-century mansion nearby—is an anomaly in steel-and-concrete New York.

Paw-ntry Door

Submitted by: Elek Architects

Designer's Description: 

When it came to designing a pantry door for the Jess Residence's contemporary kitchen renovation, a typical solid barrier would not do. The challenge was to create a piece of sliding modern art that was beautiful, functional, economical‚ and integrated in a doggie door. The sliding door needed to accommodate the owner's tow poodle, J.R., and his privacy. For his younger, more energetic "cousin", Hunter, constantly wants to play with J.R.  and eat his food. As a response, a small opening, customized to the size of J.R. was cut out of the bottom of the door allowing him to freely access his crate and food.  The translucent acrylic panel permits a level of privacy for J.R. without feeling isolated. In addition, the disorganization of the typical pantry contents are blurred by the transparency, resulting in a series of glowing abstract colors that become a focal point and of visual interest.
