basketball points

Dalayah Daniels finished the game with a double-double, scoring 14 points and grabbing 11 rebounds. Next, they will be hosting New Mexico on a date that is TBD but will happen sometime between Saturday and Tuesday.
• There were reports that PJ Fuller was planning to enter the transfer portal, but that hasn’t happened yet (although it’s still very possible).

• Congratulations to the Montana-Utah Dawg Fan for placing 1st in the UW Dawg Pound Bracket Pool after Day 1 of the NCAA Tournament with an impressive 13/16 games. Condolences to the trio of contestants who made Arizona win it all after screwing up the bed as No. 2 against Princeton.
• Former huskies Emmitt Matthews Jr. and Erik Stevenson were eliminated in the first game of the day yesterday when their No. 8 West Virginia Mountaineers fell to Maryland. Stevenson shot 4/17 from the field while Matthews had just 2 points (the first of the game) and suffered a shoulder injury in the 2nd half. Former Dawg RaeQuan Battle plays for the No. 14 Montana State tonight at 6:40 p.m. on CBS.

Softball Points

• The Huskies just picked up a big series win over Oregon but now face one of the toughest weeks of the season with a No. 3 UCLA series that begins at 5 p.m. today on the Pac-12 network.

The post Friday Dots: Shifting On, Huskies Win in 1st Spherical of WNIT appeared first on DAILY SAN FRANCISCO BAY NEWS.

Design dealer Blu Dot recently completed a large new showroom at the base of Potrero Hill in San Francisco. The new, neighborhood-friendly accommodation, created through the redesign and remodeling of two vacant buildings, provides a simplified, softly contemporary backdrop for the Minneapolis-based contemporary furniture maker and designer.

Following the 2013 award-winning design of a previous San Francisco retail location at 560 Valencia Street, Blu Dot Design Director Maurice Blanks and his visual merchandising team worked with the office of Charles F. Bloszies FAIA to create the new Blu Dot San Francisco design.

For its new location, Blu Dot selected a location at 99 Missouri that included the former home of Arch, a popular graphics supply company. The architecture and engineering team at Bloszies combined the footprint of this space with a former body shop next door, transforming the original concrete structures into a new shell for Blu Dot’s store planners and interior designers.

Bloszies and Blu Dot organized the removal of redundant bracing and interior panels to open up the interior and eliminated a partially completed false facade at the corner. The team enlarged the window openings to create an organized outdoor rhythm and let in more sunlight. Bloszies designed a concrete slab parapet extension to provide a unified horizontal cap and create a simplified modern profile.

“We also designed steel window frames that protrude from the facade like oversized Tiffany windows, designed to reflect the size of industrial window openings found in nearby buildings,” explains Bloszies.

The building also features a 1,200-square-foot patio and something every San Francisco dreams of—a parking lot. Inside, it was designed “light, light and airy”.

The interior design, conceived with the minimal sensibility of an art gallery, serves as a framework for showcasing Blu Dot’s product line. Floors are terraced to be flush with the exterior qualities at various levels and are finished with unfinished timber floors or polished concrete. The interior design is integrated with structural elements, resulting in a simple, clean interior design, with the walls painted white, serving as a backdrop for the pieces on display. Plinths installed on the inside of the hinged windows enable product presentations at eye level for passers-by on the street.

“Since we opened a store in San Francisco in 2013, the city has been a key market for us. When our lease expired at the Mission, it only made sense for us to go bigger and better in San Francisco,” said Maurice Blanks, co-founder of Blu Dot. “Working again with Chuck and his team on the new business has been seamless and the end result is great. We’re excited to see long-standing, loyal customers in the new spaces, and excited to meet new friends and neighbors, all with the aim of fulfilling our mission of inspiring more creative ways of life through good design.”

“The goal of this transformation is to give Blu Dot an architectural expression that is consistent with its furniture design ethos, while ensuring it fits the long-established industrial character of this part of the Potrero Hill neighborhood,” adds Bloszies. “In this way, Blu Dot ingratiates itself with its neighbors while creating a memorable, distinctive home for the Blu Dot brand.”

In addition to its online store, Blu Dot has retail stores in the United States, Mexico, and Australia, with new locations planned to open by Spring 2023.

DDesign retailer Blu Dot recently completed a major new showroom store at the foot of Potrero Hill in San Francisco. Created by reimagining and reshaping a pair of vacant buildings, the new, neighborhood-friendly adaptation offers a simplified, soft-modern backdrop for the Minneapolis-based manufacturer and designer of modern furniture.

Following its 2013 award winning design of a previous San Francisco retail location at 560 Valencia Street, Blu Dot design director Maurice Blanks and his visual merchandising team worked with the Office of Charles F. Bloszies FAIA to create the new Blu Dot San Francisco.

For its new location, Blu Dot selected a site at 99 Missouri which included the former home of Arch, a beloved graphics supply company. The Bloszies architecture-and-engineering team combined that space’s footprint with a former auto body shop next door, transforming the original concrete structures into a new envelope for Blu Dot’s store planners and interior designers.

Bloszies and Blu Dot organized the removal of superfluous bracing and internal walls to open up the interior, and eliminated a partially finished false façade at the corner. The team enlarged window openings to create an organized exterior rhythm and allow in more sunlight. Bloszies designed a board-formed concrete parapet extension to provide a uniform horizontal cap, creating a simplified modern profile.

“We also designed steel window frames popping out of the façade like oversized Tiffany windows, fashioned to echo the scale of industrial window openings found on nearby buildings,” explains Bloszies.

The building also boasts a 1,200-square-foot patio and something every San Franciscan dreams of — a parking lot. Inside, it was conceived to be “light, bright and airy.”

The interior design, conceived with a minimal sensibility of an art gallery, serves as an armature in which to display Blu Dot’s product line. Floors are terraced to be flush with exterior grades at different levels, finished with unvariegated wood flooring or polished concrete. Interior fixtures are integrated with structural elements resulting in a simple, crisp interior setting, with walls painted white to function as background for the pieces on display. Plinths built on the interior side of the pop-out windows allow product displays at eye level for street side passersby.

“Ever since we opened a store in San Francisco in 2013, the city has been a key market for us. When our lease was up in the Mission, it only made sense for us to go bigger and better in San Francisco,” says Maurice Blanks, Blu Dot cofounder. “Working again with Chuck and his team on the new store was seamless and the end result is gorgeous. We love seeing longstanding, loyal clients in the new space and are enjoying meeting new friends and neighbors, all with the goal to fulfill our mission to inspire more creative ways of living through good design.”
