Architecture

There’s a certain restraint in the decision to let a building hover. Not every architect earns that move. Along the rugged Atlantic coastline of Nova Scotia, Canadian studio Omar Gandhi Architects has completed the East River Residence — a home that doesn’t so much sit on the landscape as suspend itself above it, perched on […]

Smart has always had a knack for making the smallest cars feel like big ideas. The original two-seater wasn’t just about transportation; it was a statement about how little you actually need to move through a city. With the smart Concept #2, that philosophy doesn’t just return, it gets reinterpreted through a far more expressive,

The first time I came across the Oberhauser Balloon, I genuinely thought I was looking at a sea creature. That rough, porous sphere covered in glowing craters looks less like a lamp and more like a bioluminescent organism that washed in from a very stylish ocean floor. It’s the kind of design that stops you

Most slow feeders work exactly once. You put one down, your dog spends a week figuring it out, and then mealtime goes back to being a five-second vacuum session. If you’ve ever watched a dog inhale kibble like it’s a competitive sport, you already know the frustration. Not just the mess, but the genuine health

There are mountain homes, and then there is the Hadaway House. Perched on a northwest-facing slope in Whistler’s exclusive Sunridge neighbourhood, this 4,497-square-foot residence by Patkau Architects reads less like a chalet and more like a crystalline object that fell from the mountain itself — all sharp planes, acute angles, and glass that pulls the

Volocopter has launched a new eVTOL (electric Vertical Take-off and Landing) multicopter called VoloXPro that has some new impetus but rides on tested configurations from the company’s previous design. The German aerospace firm envisions the VoloXPro to be used in a range of applications, with the air taxi sector being one of the primary job

There is a particular kind of Tuesday that gets you. Not Monday, which at least carries the clean energy of a fresh start. Tuesday is when the week begins to feel long before it has any right to, when the desk stops feeling like a chosen space and starts feeling like a place you were

Tech accessories have hit a curious inflection point. The last year trained us to worship thinness and glass, but somewhere between the tenth identical ‘Air’ or ‘Edge’ smartphone and the fifteenth glossy case, a countermovement quietly took root. Texture matters again. Grip, weave, and tactile identity are no longer afterthoughts, they’re the differentiators that keep

Furniture should probably stay still. That’s the basic contract between you and the table: it holds your dinner plates, you don’t worry about physics. Alessio Scalabrini decided that contract was negotiable. The Animo table, produced by Italian marble workshop Serafini, features a brass sphere that rotates around a central lamp fixture, tracing concentric ripples carved

Flowers are beautiful. They’re also gone by the following weekend. The best Mother’s Day gifts aren’t the ones that arrive in the most dramatic packaging — they’re the ones that earn a permanent place in her life. On the counter, hanging on the wall, slipping quietly onto her finger, or sitting on the mat she
