LONDON, Sept. 14 (Reuters) – Aston Martin has started work on a new Formula 1 plant and wind tunnel which, according to team owner Lawrence Stroll, reinforces its commitment to the sport and its goal of fighting for them. world championships over the next three to five years.
The Canadian billionaire told reporters that the Silverstone factory and ‘campus’ would cost between £ 150 million and £ 200 million ($ 207 million to $ 276 million) and would be the most durable in Formula 1.
The road installation of the British Grand Prix circuit is expected to be completed by the end of 2022 or early 2023 with a capacity of 1,000 people.
The Norman Foster-designed McLaren headquarters in Woking, which opened in 2004, is the most recent new F1 factory to be built in Britain, but Stroll said his would be very different from that. -this.
“This will be the only one perfectly suited to the goal with the financial settlement (cost cap) taken into account,” said Stroll, whose son Lance drives for the team.
“It shows my confidence in the team, it confirms my ambitions and it confirms my belief in Formula One, because it is also really an investment in Formula One.
“It is a building that will truly represent our image, our culture and our DNA.”
Formula 1 is considering banning wind tunnels for aerodynamic development and testing, but Stroll doubted that would happen and said even if it did, it wouldn’t be until 2030.
“We think it’s a worthwhile investment that will take seven to eight years to be able to use it before a decision is made. Personally, I don’t think the wind tunnels are going to go away,” he said.
Stroll said the Aston Martin road car design team will remain at the British sports car company’s Gaydon site. ($ 1 = 0.7228 pounds)

On a given day in the past 20+ years, as I cleaned fur balls from my living room rug, peed on my Saltillo tile, and 2 a.m. threw up another rug, courtesy of a adult dog with an upset stomach – or try stuffing and stitching a torn sofa cushion that a puppy has run wild with – you’ll hear me whine, “That’s why I can’t have nice things . “
Anyone who has lived with pets and, of course, young children, has decorating war stories to share – drawing on the walls, leaky diapers and stained couch cushions, scratched leather chairs, spills, breakups… the list is endless. But neither you nor I need to live without beautiful things, as there are so many ways to include beautiful design that stands up to common household atrocities.
And it’s not just about defensive design. If you live in a household with children and pets, you can also trick your home in a winning way to include the evolving needs of your children, dogs, and cats.
Go for textured hardwood flooring over a smooth covering, explains Raili Clasen of RailiCA Design, who designed this living space. The texture will hide scratched animal nails.

Raili Clasen of RailiCA Design loves to create high-end, well-designed spaces that integrate the reality of living with children and pets.
“I love making children’s bedrooms and bathrooms,” she said. “The goal is that it truly reflects their personality, as children, as they get older, spend more and more time in their bedrooms. I try to interview them or involve them in the design process, from 5 years old.
But, she admitted, the big obstacle is that they are very different at 5 years old than they will be at 8 and later at, say, 13. So her strategy is not to put anything in. something so permanent that he cannot grow. with them.
“The key to designing spaces for them is to start with neutrals and then all the personality will come with artwork, bedding, rugs, things that can be changed over the years,” he said. -she explains.
The Room & Board Chase Loft Bed is made from powder coated steel that is durable enough to last for years.
(Room and board)
Clasen pointed out a steel loft bed sold by Room & Board which she uses on several occasions for children’s room projects. A mezzanine bunk bed is also available.
“What I love about the loft bed is that it’s customizable,” she said. “You can get it in any color and they’re super easy to repaint or powder repaint. For example, if you have a little girl who wants hot pink and turns into a 16 year old who wants a bohemian white bedroom, this is a very simple solution. And these beds are so strong that they can’t be destroyed like an upholstered bed could be.
Also in powder-coated steel, Room & Board’s Fort bunk beds offer a customizable design – beds are available in a range of colors.

Designer Traci Taylor from Arise Interiors also takes children into account when designing kitchens, for example.
“When we have clients who have the opportunity to come up with creative solutions, we do things like kick ladders to help kids get to counter level to help cook,” she said. declared.
Like Clasen, Taylor relies on the longevity of materials. Customers with young children sometimes suggest using inexpensive furniture, like Ikea. But Taylor points out that it is likely to be chipped or broken and will need to be replaced after a few years.
“It’s best to use good, high-end hardware for ease of maintenance and longevity. And it’s just a little greener because you don’t redo things all the time.
If you leave your pet on furniture, a washable blanket or slipcover can help protect your bedding and other fabrics.

For dogs and cats, there are both cool design solutions that incorporate their needs, as well as defensive solutions that will keep them from ruining your furniture.
Taylor is enthusiastic about small pocket doors that function as premium dog gates.
Instead of a baby gate to keep a pet in or out of a room, there are custom designed pocket doors that are about 30 or 36 inches high that fit in with the rest of the design. home, ”she said.
Taylor built small kennels in the kitchen cabinets that also hold food, leashes, and other pet accessories.

If you are pet-friendly on furniture, Clasen suggested using slipcovers on sofas and chairs made from quality indoor / outdoor fabrics from companies like Sunbrella, Perennials, and Crypton. And, she added, she usually uses a blanket because, while the lower cushions can be protected from dirt and liquids, pets like to use the back cushion as well.
“I make a corner throw that can be washed. And it also helps with children, because when the feet go on a sofa, it can get dirty. “
Flooring can be its own challenge when kids and pets are walking around the house. There is currently a great desire among homeowners to have beautiful hardwood floors. If you can’t help it, go for lighter tones – dark wood stains have streaking. And go for textured hardwood, not smooth, Clasen said.
“You can still have your beautiful oak floors, but the texture protects them so that scratches are non-existent,” she explained.
She and Taylor also agree that for a hardwood look without the vulnerability of wood, the quality of vinyl flooring improves – and that’s about a tenth the cost of hardwood.

Then there are the rugs. They seem to be a magnet for dogs and cats for pee, vomit, and hairballs. And kids can be tough on them too, with spills and dirt. Clasen is a fan of indoor / outdoor rugs, especially for children’s rooms.
“You can literally take them out and sprinkle them with a little OxiClean and dry them,” she said. “Don’t go with thick shag rugs. There are too many things that can get stuck in the stack.
Taylor, who has two young children, buys Ruggable rugs as runners in her kitchen and hallway. The rugs are machine washable, but, she noted, they are very thin, so you have to decide whether you want to get a thin or thick cushion for a more luxurious feel.
“I think the goal of having pet and kid friendly spaces is to create an aesthetic that the owner loves and a space that needs to ‘work well’,” Taylor said.

The two designers offered some tips for selecting materials to design your home with children and pets in mind.
Tile backsplash behind the toilet: Taylor, who has a 5-year-old son, suggested using tile as a backsplash behind the toilet, instead of just painting, to make it easier to clean up the results of an inaccurate lens.
Melamine for lower kitchen cabinets: This same kid also inspired Taylor to use tough melamine instead of stained wood on the lower kitchen cabinets, again for easier cleanup and because it’s more durable. “A tricycle can run into it, and it doesn’t matter,” she said.
No matte paint: Clasen advised parents not to use flat paint in rooms where there are children 16 years of age or younger. Instead, go for an eggshell finish, which is washable. Taylor loves Benjamin Moore’s Regal Select interior mat. A matte finish is usually a no-no, but this one is cleanable.
Easy-to-wash bedding: For bedding, use cotton, not linen, which absorbs all oil stains, Clasen said. And, while it might seem counterintuitive, she’s a big fan of white bedding because it can be laundered. Patterns can hide stains, but she turns to solids and color overlays or fun pillows. And use a cotton duvet instead of a delicate duvet.
Wool and synthetic blends for area rugs: Stay away from thick, long-haired bristles, which trap dirt, food and other grime. The jute is fine, Classen said, but there’s no cleaning up once it’s destroyed. Its advantage is that being less expensive, it is easier to replace. The fabrics she loved for rugs included indoor / outdoor materials, wool and wool blends, synthetic blends, and surprisingly vintage rugs (except in high traffic areas) because, did she says, the more they wear out, the better.
Stay away from treated fabrics: Taylor said you want performance fabrics for upholstery that are stain and water resistant, like Crypton or Kravet Smart. But she advised staying away from applied or added treatments because they don’t wear out well.
Select sofas and slippery chairs: Clasen not only prefers covers, which can be removed for cleaning, but she also likes to order two sets – even in different tones to change things up while you are washed.
Choose stone tops for coffee tables: Wood is beautiful for coffee tables, Clasen said, but not with pets – not even adults, noting issues with scratches and stains. She loved stone tops, like marble and granite, and paired them with a wooden base. Also, she recommended checking out metal tables or something with a metal top.

Rose Associates recently closed a $ 182 million construction financing to redevelop an existing 13-story office building for residential and commercial purposes. The property is located at 440 Hamilton Avenue in White Plains, New York and will eventually include 255 apartments and 3,400 square feet of ground floor retail.
The scope of the development includes the construction of a new seven-story building and six-level parking garage designed to accommodate 575 vehicles. Additional amenity spaces will include an outdoor swimming pool, common lounge areas and a fitness center.
Since it was originally revealed by YIMBY in 2017, the building’s facade no longer features a glass-covered chevron design. A new streamlined design features white and black cementitious materials, floor-to-ceiling windows on the exterior of the downstairs retail component, and a typical perforated window system above for the residential volume.

Even after spending an afternoon mopping, it still seems like the floor is still a bit sticky and not completely clean no matter how many times you mop back and forth. Rather than keep pulling out a bulky mop and bucket, it’s worth investing in an easy-to-use steam mop cleaner that’s like hiring a professional, without the added cost.
Amazon shoppers recommend the Light ‘n’ Easy Steam Mop, which is currently at 30% off. Weighing just 3.5 pounds, the lightweight steam mop is wonderfully easy to use. Simply fill the tank with water and place a washable microfiber pad on the base. After 20 seconds, the steamer heats up and you just have to push it back and forth. Thirty seconds later, the floors will be miraculously dry – no more waiting to walk around the house.
Thanks to a large cleaning surface with a flexible head, the mop not only allows faster cleaning, but it can also reach difficult areas with ease. The steam mop can be used on hardwood floors, tile, laminate, vinyl and carpets. An ergonomic handle makes it comfortable to hold for long cleanings too, and a quick-release cord extends up to 20 feet, giving you ample room to move around the house.
Nearly 5,000 Amazon shoppers have given the steam mop a five-star rating, noting that it is “cheaper and better than Swiffer” and “half the price of other big brands.” One customer even wrote: “The amount of dirt this picked up was amazing.
“It cleans as well, if not better, than a Swiffer mop, and you don’t have to constantly buy their pads, cleaning solution bottles, or batteries, so it pays for itself pretty quickly,” shares one. five star review. . And although a Swiffer is cordless unlike the Light ‘n Easy Garment Steamer, this review points out that it has a clip at the top that keeps the cord in place and off the floor when in use. So you don’t have to worry about it getting in the way while you are cleaning.
“I’ve always wanted a steam mop but didn’t want to spend too much,” said another buyer. “This steam mop is perfect for the job … I didn’t think my floors were so bad, and the fact that these rags picked up so much dirt … I’m sold!”

Millennium Tower officials assure residents working on the ailing ‘fix’ of the leaning skyscraper that they will restart soon, after project engineers fine-tune construction methods to prevent sinking and tilting. accelerated future of the luxury skyscraper.
In a notice distributed over the Labor Day weekend, the Millennium Tower CEO informs residents of the status of the currently stalled perimeter pile upgrade project – a 22-month effort and 100 million dollars to install new piles on bedrock along both sides, sagging and tilting the most.
“We have been assured that the building remains safe and we anticipate that construction with some modifications, coupled with daily monitoring, will resume shortly,” tower general manager James Zaratin said in the September 5 bulletin.
Zaratin explained that the recently accelerated sinking “came to a halt almost immediately after construction stopped” last month. The current rate is equivalent to the rate before the start of the work, specifies the notice.
In early August, part of the project was halted to help understand what was causing the building to sink much faster than before work began in May. But the tower continued to sink and tilt more dramatically as crews focused on the drilling needed to install two-foot-wide casing to bedrock.
All work was officially halted on August 23, after monitoring data showed that in the three months since May, the building had sagged an inch and moved an additional five inches in the Mountain peak. Currently, the tower leans 22 inches towards Fremont Street.
Fix engineers told city officials that part of the problem is that the holes drilled by crews to install piles in the bedrock were slightly too big. Experts say the surrounding soil likely shifted to fill the void created between the oversized hole and the pile. This “lost ground,” they say, has likely destabilized the earth supporting the existing foundation.
Zaratin assured residents that they are working with repair engineers and the city’s engineering design review committee to refine drilling methods to minimize soil disturbance.
But San Francisco supervisor Aaron Peskin is skeptical. He said on Wednesday he would summon experts to assess the building’s critical situation during the still unscheduled hearing he called on Tuesday.
“There is a lot under this rock and I’m about to shed some light on it,” Peskin said, adding that he no longer trusted the current technical review committee. It was this panel that vouched for the patch in 2019 and continued to support the efforts of the patch team.
“I’m afraid they’re revising their own work,” Peskin said of the review board. “We need independent third-party oversight. “ Peskin said he wanted to hear from these outside experts before work resumes.
One of the experts the city has relied on in the past – but ignored in the case of the Millennium Tower repair – is veteran geotechnical engineer Robert Pyke.
“The comprehensive solution that they are engaged in is the problem – it is not a satisfactory solution for the long term condition,” Pyke told our investigation unit.
Pyke was among three engineers who objected to the proposed fix in July 2019. Although records show that the technical review committee was made aware of these concerns, he approved the draft fix a month later without direct consultation. the engineers who raised them.
“At a minimum, I thought the city’s building inspection department or the (technical review) committee would want to talk to me,” Pyke recalls. “I just got blown away.”
So far, this design review group has expressed full confidence in the work of the repair team. Meanwhile, the city has yet to release data collected since mid-August. Data that could confirm what the association has told residents about the building’s reduced sag rate since the suspension of pile installation work.
