Back view of the "Big Sister's" house. Two homes sit on the same family estate in Poquoson, Virginia.
The larger residence shown here is where the big sister now lives. Incorporated on the front slope are two solar panel technologies, photovoltaic panels for providing electricity and solar thermal panels for hot water.
The full portfolio for this project includes additional photos, architectural drawings, renderings, and aerial views of the site. You can view the full portfolio here: watershedarch.net/portfolio/current/poquoson-two-sisters-houses

The Cherenkov Telescope Array project (CTA) is an international initiative to build the next generation of ground-based gamma-ray instrumentation. The CTA will serve as an open observatory to the global astrophysics community and will provide deep insights into the non-thermal, high-energy universe.
The program for the concept masterplan includes a 3,500 sq.ft. Visitor Center, a 6,000 sq.ft. Administrative/ Control Center, a 10,000 sq.ft. Dormitory, and a 30,000 sq.ft. Lab and Technical building. All structures on site are being designed for net zero energy usage and LEED-Platinum certifications.
The telescope array itself is half a mile in diameter and consists of 29 telescopes; 25 MST’s (12 meter dishes) and 4 LST’s (24 meter dishes). The CTA Consortium is staffed by over 1000 working members representing 27 different countries including Brazil, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Sweden, England, and the United States.

They actually don't make buttons like this anymore. Some of the buttons are made in numerous layers which is why they look so luminous and have so much depth. Where possible we turn them into pendants, when the center post can be modified or removed without damaging the button. Many of them are made from pre-petrochemical natural plastic resins like melamine and bakelite.
