1859’s Take on Green Living in OR

On top of sharing some great crab recipes and local getaways, 1859’s Winter Adventure Issue highlights homes focused on “sustainable design and low-impact living” in Oregon.

As if that wasn’t enough to excite Cyan/PDX, the issue introduces readers to artist and physicist, Julian Voss-Andreae and his incredible (and almost disappearing) Quantum Man. Grab the next issue you see!

More small and beautiful spaces being built close to home!

Vancouver, Canada is expected to formally announce the million-dollar creation of 30 so-called “micro-lofts” on the Downtown East side. This is one of many developments around the world, including the Cyan/PDX, that has drawn inspiration from European and Asian design.

At approximately 270 sq. ft. — about the size of two municipal parking spaces — the market rental units will be the smallest in the city.

 

Beautiful design in small efficient spaces is the future of downtown living and is available here in PDX at the Cyan.

New Gadget on the Market: iPad

Rumors had been circulating for the past couple of months that a different sort of iPhone was on its way out and yesterday the curtains came off. Apple just showcased the iPad, a touchscreen table. The iPad which is very similar to a ereader (a electronic reader) has a computer along with Microsoft programs so not only can you read online, you can watch your movies, listen to your music and write an actual book in your spare time.

Check out their website for more interesting notes on why the iPad is the hottest thing out there today.

More than 95 different proposals were submitted for the renovation or adaptive reuse of Portland’s Memorial Coliseum. Now it’s time to see the proposals in the spotlight. On Jan. 26, each individual or group that submitted a full concept will have 5 minutes to present their concept to the 32-member Stakeholder Advisory Committee (SAC) and an audience of the general public.

Anyone interested in attending the event should visit http://rosequarterdevelopment.org/tickets.php for more information and to print out the free RSVP voucher needed for admission. Doors at Memorial Coliseum will open at 5 p.m., and the registration-required, free and open-to-the-public event will run until approximately 8:30 p.m.

About the process
On Jan. 26, everyone who submitted a concept will have the opportunity to set up a table with additional information and answer questions from event attendees. Concepts that utilize the full building (full concepts), and some which don’t utilize the full building (partial concepts) will also have the opportunity to give a short presentation to the 32-member Stakeholder Advisory Committee and the general public.

The SAC will make recommendations to Portland City Council in late February as to which full concepts should continue on in the process as well as provide input on partial concepts to receive the formal Request for Proposal (RFP) from the city. The RFP will be issued in March and responses will be due in April. City Council expects to select the winning proposal in late May.

Why Drive When You Can Walk?

                                                 Courtesy of www.thisisbroken.com

 Portland offers many activities to do, places to go and people to see, but one of the best things about Portland to me is how easy it is to get from place to place. You could literally throw a stone and hit a book store, a clothing boutique and a restaurant at the same time in some neighborhoods. How do I know? Well I went to Walk Score and put in my address: 1720 SW 4Th Ave, Portland, OR 97201 and was delighted to find that Cyan/PDX scored a 98 out of 100! Certain scores have certain guidelines and the 98 means that we are a walker’s paradise.

So the next time you look for location in a home, check out Walk Score  and see what’s within walking distance.
