Designed by Boston firm Payette this building in Cambridge, Massachusetts is envisioned as a "gentle sweep" of mass, the building follows the shape of the site and is roughly V-shaped in plan. The upper levels cantilever over a base level, resulting in a floating effect.
Watchtower Einderheide is a bat-friendly wooden lookout in the Netherlands with a curved cut-out that reveals a spiral staircase sits at its core.
The studio decided to incorporate habitats for tree-dwelling bats into the structure, which is located on a flight path for the winged mammals.

James Sellars' magnificent Kelvinside Hillhead Parish Church on Observatory Road in the West End of Glasgow. Designed in a French Gothic style, it was inspired by the medieval Sainte Chapelle in Paris.
This is the Ruthven Lane Cat in the west end of Glasgow. It's high on a wall on the back of an old tenement building, and it really doesn't look like it belongs there. It's a bit of a mystery as to who put it there, and why.
'Buoy' a Concrete & Stainless Steel table lamp.
The main body of the lamp is made from concrete that is held up by four slender stainless steel legs made of threaded rods.
Two white fiberglass braided silicone wires are guided from the top of the lamp to a black cord switch. Then from the switch comes the main black power cable with plug

The Kelvin Aqueduct in Maryhill. Opened in 1790, it carries the Forth and Clyde Canal over the River Kelvin. This canal was the world's first manmade sea-to-sea water way designed to provide a shortcut for shipping, making it the forerunner of the much larger Suez and Panama Canals.
Instead, they are likely present simply to maintain the symmetry of the building, and either hide internal features, such as chimney flues, or were used to save the cost of adding real windows, as glass would still have been quite costly at the time as each pane would have had to be hand-made.
The Georgian neo-Classical Aikenhead House in King's Park in Glasgow. If you look carefully at the windows at the left hand end, you'll see they're actually fake, with the mullions and transoms painted on stone. This wing was added in 1823, some 75 years after the introduction of a window tax in Scotland, so it's unlikely they were originally designed as functional windows that were then sealed up.
