Welcome to our blog!

Are you sick and tired of not having room on your computer because you collect too many beautiful images? So are we!

We have filled entire external hard-drives with pretty pictures of buildings as architects often do, so we have decided to share our love of great design and innovative ideas.

Cheers,

The Y team
