black box

Frustrated in her search for an attractive street number display, Nettleton designed one herself. As dusk falls, a photovoltaic lens illuminates the silhouetted numbers in the powder-coated steel box. Nettleton says her invention, with its easy-to-spot style and size, has been so well-received she’s now producing the device. Sarah Nettleton Architects, 612.334.9667.
