When I came to PV I found myself at some point looking for a rental close to Olas Altas. I found a studio, tiny indeed but with a lot of potential. I love challenges and in no time I began pondering the options on how to turn it into a functional y beautiful space. I had lived in a "japanese capsule" type of studio when I had just graduated, the location was unbeatable. Everything was within walking distance and my favorite sushi place and the 100% natural restaurant were a short two block distance. So early on I developed skills for organizing and decorating small spaces that I though might come very handy in this new studio. Now, I gotta say that my stay in that studio was cut short when I realized that it had a moisture problem. I later found out that it is a common issue here in PV. But that was far from being acceptable. On the second day the air was flooded with a strong musky smell. On the 3rd day the walls were already growing mold. I talked to the land lady and got to an agreement. I packed and left.
After this experience I found some other places, roomier or just a small as that studio. But being small doesn't mean that it wont work. I'll share a video from a series called Small Space, Big Style which I bet many of you are familiar with. In this episode they show key factors on how to make a tiny place liveable and comfy. For starters, every single element going into a small area needs to be multy-purpose. There is a big opportunity in the designing of the furniture to find how storage space can be incorporated into it. Light colors on the walls reflect more light and make the space look airier. Notice how the bed showcased lacks a base, this makes the eye see more free floor space, it doesn't stop abruptly. The kitchen cabinets go all the way up to maximize storage. There is one thing that also makes a lot of sense here, all the wooden furniture is painted in just one color: white. Had they been painted in several colors or stains the place would look awkward and with no taste. They sticked to a small palette and it does the trick to make the place look harmonious.
I guess that challenges like these sprouted my love for carpentry. And even when I lived in very spacious places I always looked for those tiny spaces that can always be improved, like the pantry, closets, laundry room, garage and attic. After all it's about making it look good, organized and making things easier for oneself. Don't you agree?

"Wind turbines operate on a simple principle. The energy in the wind turns two or three propeller-like blades around a rotor. The rotor is connected to the main shaft, which spins a generator to create electricity.
Wind turbines are mounted on a tower to capture the most energy. At 100 feet (30 meters) or more above ground, they can take advantage of faster and less turbulent wind.
Wind turbines can be used to produce electricity for a single home or building, or they can be connected to an electricity grid (shown here) for more widespread electricity distribution".

Cannon Power Group has tapped the enormous potential of the Baja California Renewable Energy Corridor and understands the promising market and issues associated with cross-border renewable energy development. As a large-scale, world-class wind and solar resource located close to major U.S. population centers on the northern side of the California-Mexico border, this Corridor can make a major contribution to California’s clean power needs.
Cannon’s team of knowledgeable development, construction, technical and engineering professionals have many years experience in Baja’s electricity and related sectors.
In 2004, Cannon developed the Rumorosa area for a wind project, its first in Mexico. Cannon now plans to develop a series of utility-scale wind and solar projects located in the heart of the Corridor, with potential for generating a strong source of clean power to export cross-border into the California (U.S.) market.
Project Location
Baja California, Mexico near the town of La Rumorosa- approximately 60 miles east of San Diego and 15 miles south of the U.S.-Mexico border.
Project site is located on a 140 square-mile site leased from the Ejido Aubanel Vallejo – a region widely known as one of the best wind resource areas in North America.
Unlike most other wind sites, the wind peaks at this location are from mid-afternoon to early evening – when demand for electricity is most high.
Generation
The utility-scale wind and solar project in Baja California is expected to provide a cost-efficient and reliable source of clean renewable power.
Cannon expects to develop 300-500 MW of clean renewable power at the site.
Power is expected to be sold cross-border to California/United States customers.
Regional Impacts
The project has potential to provide clean power to many California/United States households and help improve overall air quality in the region.
The project will be designed and built to the same standards as a U.S.-based wind project.
