Menswear Online - Number Six, London

Number Six London, originally born under the guise When We Were Casuals back in 2007, was launched by childhood friends Chris Dacey and Mark Batista. Both have long histories in the fashion industry, with Mark the owner of sales agency Brand Progression, (dealing with Garbstore, Suit, Velour etc,) and the founder of pioneering menswear tradeshow To Be Confirmed (that went onto show in Tokyo and New York.) Though the name changed, their focus on quality has never erred.

In March 2010 When We Were Casuals became Number Six, and in the process underwent an organic yet marked overhaul. Ralph Lauren, Heritage Research, Oliver Spencer, Mark McNairy, Filson, Grenson, Libertine Libertine, Barbour To Ki To, Calabrese and many more joined the key timeless staples – Clarks, Barbour, Adidas Originals, Saint James, Penfield amongst others. Number Six with its constantly evolving brand offering, renaming and consequent re-launch, now incorporates the timeless, casuals fashions of old with more contemporary international menswear brands.

Number Six stocks some of the best menswear pieces from around the world. And if you like an exclusive or hard-to-find piece, Number Six is your mecca. The store has already introduced a number of key styles and indeed brands to the UK market in its somewhat short history – classic old German brand Seil Marschall for instance had never been sold in the country before it went into store a few months back.

Spreading their wings, Number Six have since branched out from their Brick Lane home to a very-recently-opened second store in Hampstead, North-West London. From these two bases as well as an equally resourceful online outlet, Number Six continues striving to meet and exceed menswear needs.

Architectural Practice of November - Franz Architekten

Franz Architekten, an Austrian Architectural Practice based in Vienna have recently received recognition for  their design of a 'family house in Zellerndorf' located in lower austria. Taking the region's typology of dividing the architecture into its individual programs (residence, barn, stables), the single-family dwelling utilizes three separate volumes of 6.6m x 16.6m and provides a straight course of circulation with a long, glazed passageway.

Starting from the street side, the first box serves as parking and storage. the second volume provides for communal spaces, such as living and kitchen. the box on the northern part of the site, therefore also the most private, accommodates for the masterbedroom, children's bedroom and bathrooms. the continuity of the penetrating corridor can be read from the exterior: it's structure extends out to create a canopy over the entryway on the street side, while peeking out to a glass nook on the north side.

The pockets of space created in the slippage are fully utilized: an expansive wooden terrace and a swimming pool lie between the sleeping and living quarters on the west side, while a garden grows in another courtyard off the parking garage.

Franz Architekten's online slide-show displays an insight into their current projects, in addition the webpage illustrates a wealth of presentation techniques that are not only pleasing to the eye but translate their design aspirations and key concepts for each of their schemes successfully via a clear, diagrammatic approach (similarly to BIG).
