| // Furniture Sale on North Freeway // |
wacdesignstudio recently staged “Furniture Sale on North Freeway” a guerrilla retail event that took place on Sunday March 7th 2010 from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. in the abandoned lot of the former Landmark Chevrolet dealership located at 9111 N. Fwy, Houston, TX 77037. In “Furniture Sale on North Freeway” wacdesignstudio launched its first furniture line, a line designed and fabricated with an attention to the modesty of scale, materials and production.
Located outside the crumbling remains of the Landmark Chevrolet Dealership, “Furniture Sale on North Freeway” reflected on the unanticipated failures of highly leveraged businesses and their effects on the city landscape.
wacdesignstudio intended to create the hopeful gesture of a small design business selling its locally designed and manufactured product to local customers.

// Obus Lofts //
|
Project currently under development. A design experiment for the city of Houston, of how to redesign the city based on a future of oil and water scarcity while maintaining the core landmark of the city, it’s freeway system. Inspired by Le Corbusier’s Plan Obus (1933-1944), a massive high-rise development will be proposed under Houston’s freeway system. This project will include its own product and furniture line intended for Obus Lofts’ residents. | |
