Right after the devastating hurricane that swept Haiti in 2010, one chef took it upon himself to create
a means by which those affected could survive through meals. José Andrés founded World Central Kitchen with the belief that food can be an agent of change. Today it has grown into a network of chefs around the world who are creating smart solutions to hunger and poverty.
In the aftermath of hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico which left the country with no power, and with citizens finding it harder to access food, José Andrés has joined a long list of people and organizations who have stepped in to help. With local chefs and volunteers from his non-profit, José Andrés has managed to visit and prepare 80,000 meals for those affected with plans to reach the 100,000 mark.

It is one thing to wake up to the sounds of birds or at worst the occasional visit from a wild animal. Living in Alaska for instance bear sightings are regular. So when photographer Tim Newton woke up to scratching noises on his front door he feared the worst. Peeking out the window he was amazed to see lynx kittens with their mother playing on his front porch. Instinctively he fetched his camera to capture the moment. The lynx is usually a solitary animal, with a short tail, and characteristic tufts of black hair on the tips of its ears, as well as large padded paws for walking on snow. It's rare to stumble on one, not to talk of a large family of eight.

Brief: A custom built single family home on a steep terrain, a house blending in well with the environment.

Theme:  Situated in a challenging location and surrounded by mountains and pine tress, the house is distinctive, with split levels accommodating the steepness in topology. Two distinct blocks with tall glass windows visible from the exterior gives the house a sense of space, and the swimming pool is a nice addition to the fantastic views all round.
