  Downsizing is a time for new beginnings: for ditching the lawnmower, doing away with dusting rarely used rooms and finally convincing adult children to get rid of all their stuff. More than that, it’s a chance to create a new home, possibly in a new suburb, with features to last for years to come. A new apartment development in Double Bay village has the downsizer market firmly in its sights. 100 million project in Double Bay from developer SJD Property ." /> 1788 Residences is a $ 100 million project in Double Bay from developer SJD Property .

From a crowd- funded smart shovel to a why-didn’t-someone-do-this-sooner scheme for managing traffic in public restroom s, these ideas are noteworthy for creative problem -solving. Here are some of the most intriguing innovations the BD+C community has brought to our attention this year.   1. TRUSS SYSTEM UNDERGIRDS MONUMENTAL STAIR Structure becomes art at a Massachusetts college library To invite exploration of its new academic library, Salem (Mass.)

Stairs are stringer-free and accented with eye- catching red paint . Glass panels protect users while showcasing the design. The prominent feature is also visible from...

John Baird Jr., 47. (Sarah L. Voisin/The Washington Post) It’s almost bedtime. John Baird Jr., 47, smokes on the hood of his 2004 Mercury Grand Marquis sedan , his plaid sleeping bag neatly tucked in the trunk. Kathleen McDermott, 81, slouches in the driver’s seat of her 2002 Ford Focus station wagon . Two angel statuettes stare from her dashboard into clothes and clutter behind her. Scott Downey, 52, works a crossword puzzle on his phone inside a 2006 Chrysler Town & Country van that smells faintly like cats.
