The Nike+ Challenge Men vs. Women is all about beating the other gender on the running track. We took this spirit to the Web by connecting a Nike+ banner on a website for women with one on a website for men. Thus, we created a direct communication channel, that gave the adversarial sexes a chance to talk things out or just verbally beat the crap out of each other.

Christchurch Modern

"We’re not architects, we’re not historians and we don’t know much about anything. However we do like modern houses and Christchurch is a great place for them."
