During 1916 the British born Australian architect Walter Richmond Butler (1864 – 1949) designed a new Anglican Mission to Seamen to be built on an oddly shaped triangular block of land at 717 Flinders Street on the outskirts of the Melbourne central city grid, to replace smaller premises located in adjoining Siddeley Street, which had been resumed by the Harbour Trust during wharf extensions.
The Missions to Seamen buildings, built on reinforced concrete footings, are in rendered brick with tiled roofs. Walter Butler designed the complex using an eclectic mixture of styles, one of which was the Spanish Mission Revival which had become a prevalent style on the west coast of America, especially in California and New Mexico during the 1890s. The style revived the architectural legacy of Spanish colonialism of the Eighteenth Century and the associated Franciscan missions. The revival of the style is explicit in the Mission’s small, yet charming chapel with its rough-hewn timber trusses, in the bell tower with its pinnacles and turret surmounted by a rustic cross and in the monastic-like courtyard, which today still provides a peaceful retreat from the noisy world just beyond the Missions to Seamen’s doorstep. The chapel also features many gifts donated by members of the Harbour Trust and Ladies’ Harbour Lights Guild, including an appropriately themed pulpit in the shape of a ship's prow and two sanctuary chairs decorated with carved Australian floral motifs. Some of the stained glass windows in the chapel depict stories and scenes associated with the sea intermixed with those Biblical scenes more commonly found in such places of worship.
The adjoining Mission to Seamen’s administration, residential and recreational building shows the influence of English domestic Arts and Crafts architecture, with its projecting gable, pepper pot chimneys and three adjoining oriel windows. The lobby, with its appropriately nautically inspired stained glass windows, features a large mariner's compass inlaid in the terrazzo floor. Built-in timber cupboards, wardrobes, paneling and studded doors throughout the buildings evoke a ship's cabin.
Walter Butler, architect to the Anglican Diocese in Melbourne, had come to Australia with an intimate knowledge and experience of the Arts and Crafts movement and continued to use the style in his residential designs of the 1920s. The main hall has a reinforced concrete vaulted ceiling. Lady Stanley, wife of the Mission's patron, Governor Sir Arthur Lyulph Stanley, laid the foundation stone of the complex in November 1916. The buildings were financed partly by a compensation payment from the Harbour Trust of £8,500.00 and £3,000.00 from local merchants and shipping firms. The Ladies' Harbour Lights Guild raised over £800.00 for the chapel. Most of the complex was completed by late 1917 whilst the Pantheon-like gymnasium with oculus was finished soon afterwards. The substantially intact interiors, including extensive use of wall paneling in Tasmanian hardwood, form an integral part of the overall design.
The Missions to Seamen buildings are architecturally significant as a milestone in the early introduction of the Spanish Mission style to Melbourne. The style was to later find widespread popularity in the suburbs of Melbourne. The choice of Spanish Mission directly refers to the Christian purpose of the complex. The Missions to Seamen buildings are unusual for combining two distinct architectural styles, for they also reflect the imitation of English domestic architecture, the Arts and Crafts movement. Walter Butler was one of the most prominent and progressive architects of the period and the complex is one of his most unusual and distinctive works.
The Missions to Seamen buildings have historical and social significance as tangible evidence of prevailing concerns for the religious, moral, and social welfare of seafarers throughout most of the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries. The complex has a long association with the Missions to Seamen, an organisation formed to look after the welfare of seafarers, both officers and sailors, men "of all nationalities". It had its origins in Bristol, England when a Seamen's Mission was formed in 1837. The first Australian branch was started in 1856 by the Reverend Kerr Johnston, a Church of England clergyman, and operated from a hulk moored in Hobsons Bay; later the Mission occupied buildings in Williamstown and Port Melbourne. In 1905 the Reverend Alfred Gurney Goldsmith arrived at the behest of the London Seamen's Mission to establish a city mission for sailors working on the river wharves and docks. The building reflects the diverse role played by the Mission with its chapel, hall and stage, billiards room, reading room, dining room, officers' and men’s quarters, chaplain's residence, and gymnasium. It is still in use to this day under the jurisdiction of a small, but passionate group of workers, providing a welcome place of refuge to seamen visiting the Port of Melbourne.
Walter Butler was considered an architect of great talent, and many of his clients were wealthy pastoralists and businessmen. His country-house designs are numerous and include “Blackwood” (1891) near Penshurst, for R. B. Ritchie, “Wangarella” (1894) near Deniliquin, New South Wales, for Thomas Millear, and “Newminster Park” (1901) near Camperdown, for A. S. Chirnside. Equally distinguished large houses were designed for the newly established Melbourne suburbs: “Warrawee” (1906) in Toorak, for A. Rutter Clark; “Thanes” (1907) in Kooyong, for F. Wallach; “Kamillaroi” (1907) for Baron Clive Baillieu, and extensions to “Edzell” (1917) for George Russell, both in St Georges Road, Toorak. These are all fine examples of picturesque gabled houses in the domestic Queen Anne Revival genre. Walter Butler was also involved with domestic designs using a modified classical vocabulary, as in his remodelling of “Billilla” (1905) in Brighton, for W. Weatherley, which incorporates panels of flat-leafed foliage. Walter Butler also regarded himself as a garden architect.
As architect to the diocese of Melbourne from 1895, he designed the extensions to “Bishopscourt” (1902) in East Melbourne. His other church work includes St Albans (1899) in Armadale, the Wangaratta Cathedral (1907), and the colourful porch and tower to Christ Church (c.1910) in Benalla. For the Union Bank of Australia he designed many branch banks and was also associated with several tall city buildings in the heart of Melbourne’s central business district such as Collins House (1910) and the exceptionally fine Queensland Insurance Building (1911). For Dame Nellie Melba Butler designed the Italianate lodge and gatehouse at “Coombe Cottage” (1925) at Coldstream.

London King's Cross Station on the Euston Road in the London Borough of Camden. It is also quite close to the London Borough of Islington.
The station is quite close to London St Pancras International Station, split by Pancras Road.
Most of the station also goes down York Way.
It is the terminus of the East Coast Mainline. Virgin Trains are now operating East Coast.
The station is Grade I listed.

Railway terminus. 1850-52. By Lewis Cubitt (architect), and
Sir William and Joseph Cubitt (engineers). Yellow stock brick.
2 train sheds (originally 1 for arrivals, the other for
departure) closed by monumental plain brick screen of 2 glazed
semicircular openings, framed with recessed arches (echoing
the train sheds behind) with central and flanking towers;
ground storey obscured by late C20 additions. Central tower
with rectangular clock turret with pyramidical roof, eaves
cornice and weather vane. To the west, 3 storey 3 window
office block with booking hall and service rooms at rear; 1st
floor with thin, debased Venetian windows, cornice at 2nd
floor level, 2nd floor segmental-arched sashes (flanking bays
tripartite), cornice. On east side, an extension with archway
to the cab drive (now bricked up); rusticated surround to arch
and quoins; cornice above which 3 tripartite sashes and
parapet.
INTERIOR: train sheds separated by round-arched brick
colonnade. Originally, train shed roofs of laminated wood,
inspired by the Crystal Palace, but these rapidly deteriorated
and were replaced by the present iron-ribbed roofs to the
eastern shed 1869-70, to the western 1886-7. (Laminated wood
trusses successfully used at 26 Pancras Road (qv).
HISTORICAL NOTE: when opened as the terminus of the Great
Northern Railway, was the largest station in England and is
the earliest great London terminus still intact.
The contrast of its functional simplicity with St Pancras
Station next door (qv) is powerful.

My neighbor makes these things called Little Extensions where old outgrown baby's jumpsuits (or whatever they are called) can be re-used by adding on this little extension. I reckon it's a cool idea and offered to do a collage for her.
If you like more information, let me know and I'll forward you her email.

Just received my extension tubes from DealExtreme. As I can't afford a true macro lens for a few hundred dollars, this is a steal at $9. Made a few test shots with all tubes and the 50 1.8, lookin' good.

17 April 2016. Two more uprights have been erected on the west side of the southern end of the maintenance road. The last two are awaiting the pouring of the remaining concrete ring beam
From 1964 to 1965 the original building underwent a major renovation, including the addition of a concrete frame structure, new floors, a mezzanine and air conditioning and the removal of the skylight, at a cost of over £227,000. The exterior brickwork may also have been rendered at this time. The Wililam Street frontage remained largely intact, as one of the city's few surviving 1870s facades.
The State Library of Queensland (including the John Oxley Library) moved to new premises in the Queensland Cultural Centre in 1988, and the building at William Street has since been used as library storage.

El proyecto surge por la necesidad de mejorar un apartamento en el barrio Lalinde que debía dar respuesta a las nuevas dinámicas del usuario y tiene la intención de clarificar las funciones internas de la vivienda enfatizando el aprovechamiento de una terraza de 40m2 que se usa como una extensión de las actividades interiores. La vegetación se convierte en un elemento esencial en la renovación, que en conjunto con intervenciones livianas al interior, establece las relaciones visuales y espaciales del proyecto.
