Last week, we took a look at the story behind the bespoke baton that Glasgow’s 4c Design, Ltd., created for the XX Commonwealth Games in 2014. The baton was unveiled at a special ceremony on October 9, the occasion for remarks from Prince Imran of Malaysia (President of the CGF), Lord Smith of Kelvin (Chair of the 2014 Games) and of course Her Royal Majesty Queen Elizabeth II herself.
The BBC’s Mark Beaumont filed his latest report, from Sri Lanka, yesterday afternoon; the Baton is about halfway through it’s tour of Southeast Asia and will be in Australia by Halloween (view the full 70-country, 288-day route here).
We’re pleased to present a series of exclusive photos documenting the making-of the baton, courtesy of 4c Design.

The form was 3D-printed with Direct Metal Laser Sintering, but the rough titanium requires quite a bit of manual polishing…
The latest from Yashesh Virkar’s flora and fauna-influened product line, the Fox mirror is a twist on the classic oval wall-mount design that features a remarkable mosaic of a fox head. At first glance it looks like one unlucky, broken mirror- but a closer look reveals an abstraction complete with familiar-looking pointed ears and sloped eyes.

An homage to Nikola Tesla, the L1 Lamp takes inspiration from the electromagnetic coils he invented. Within the circular disc is a grid of LED lights reflected in different directions. The reflected light is transferred evenly to both sides, creating a diffused glow that will illuminate large rooms without occupying much physical space itself.

This house by Portuguese architect Miguel Marcelino rests on top of an old warehouse in Torres Novas, central Portugal (+ slideshow).
Miguel Marcelino extended the existing building upwards to create the single-storey residence, which overlooks a valley planted with olive groves.
The warehouse was first built in the 1980s and was originally planned as a two-storey structure, although it has taken 30 years for the second phase of construction to take place.
Marcelino used brickwork for the exterior of the extension, then added white paint to unite the two floors.
A protruding concrete slab divides the two storeys and creates a balcony around two sides of the building, while a similar-sized roof slab forms a canopy overhead.
A bridge with a steel balustrade leads to the house’s entrance from the adjacent hillside and is positioned alongside a large olive tree.
The entrance hall opens out into a living and dining area, featuring a sliced-off south-east corner that increases the size of the surrounding balcony.
Three bedrooms are positioned along the east side of the house, while the kitchen and bathroom sit on the opposite side.
Concrete walls and ceilings are exposed in each room and timber panels covers the floor.
Photography is by Joao Morgado.
Here’s a short description from the architects:
House on a Warehouse
The briefing was to build a three-bedroom house on top of a warehouse built in the 80’s, where part of the roof was made with a flat slab and a small balcony, precisely with that idea of later building the house.
Given the constraints of the existing warehouse, the house shape turns out to be automatically set: a box that rests on the existing structure.
The rooms are placed to the east, the toilets to the west, as well as the kitchen, looking to a centennial olive tree.
The existing balcony will be maintained and “duplicated” as a shading element.
The living room is placed south where its south/east corner is diagonally cut in a way that the balcony could enlarge and offer an outdoor area protected from the sun and rain, overlooking the valley.
Miguel Marcelino has completed another recent project also in Portugal – a rural family house with red concrete walls and three separate terraces.
