The interior of this vacation home is warm, comfortable and relaxing. The earthy tones within are designed to mimic the environment around them, as hardwood floors, stone-colored walls and neutral ceilings create the mood. The main living room includes a wood-burning fire place, a relaxed sitting area and a library section above. Privacy screens roll out to provide a more intimate literary environment, clearly a book lovers dream. While the home is only accessible by four-wheel drive vehicles or by boat, this is as much a blessing as it is a constraint....

Ashanti those days was the largest and most powerful of the states established in the forest province of southern Ghana by the people known as ‘Akans’. Akans were very rich in gold and this was the main reason why they were able to form a state. Even today, Ashanti is the largest tribe in Ghana, which is politically separated into four major parts. With a population of about 1 million, the tribe which covers 9400 square miles of land area, lies in the center and its capital is Kumasi....

The allure of portable gas grills is hard to deny. Unlike charcoal, they fire up in seconds, are not messy, and allow you to have a great barbecue experience at any place and at any time. They’ll cook a steak just like home when you’re away from home. Portable gas grills are also an excellent fit for people who do not have the space or budget to invest in a standard grill....

Having tinkered with the rocket stove concept in our workshop, we admire what BioLite has accomplished here. Buying a BioLite CampStove helps fund BioLite’s other product, the HomeStove, which is a charitable system that allows people to cook meals safely and sustainably in the third world. Over half of the world cooks over open flames, and the resulting smoke causes an estimated 2,000,000 deaths per year. Both of these products, the HomeStove and the CampStove, could certainly do a lot of good for the world....

Whatever the genesis, it has taken on ever more complicated forms as time has gone on and changed the way art is experienced. Art of the Masses Pavement art is more than just beautiful pieces, though it is that as well. It takes art out of stuffy galleries where the intent is to be exclusionary and brings it back where art belongs: among the people. The pieces made by the artists below have no cover charge, can’t be bought, and are intended to be experienced by every passer-by, rather than hung in a millionaire’s private study for the enjoyment of one....

Features of the luxurious home include a large Koi fish pond that sits evenly with the outdoor pool and a massive terrace that creates a smooth transition between the interior and exterior of the home. Tall stone walls separate the living areas of the home, dividing them into daytime social areas and more private evening areas....

If you’re like us, most of the time you’ve spent in Chicago’s West Loop has been stuck in traffic on the Kennedy Expressway. Thanks to a design by Perkins + Will Architects, that West Loop –and the Kennedy itself– are due for a green upgrade. Perkins + Will have designed a green urban park spanning many city blocks in the West Loop, zig zagging over the freeway below it and skirting up to the highrises throughout....

The mere thought of a wriggling, slithering reptile around is enough to cause jitters and uneasiness to most of us. And when you see snakes in your dreams, it can be pretty spine-chilling! And, it will often lead to thinking of a host of negative meanings to associate the snake dream with. But honestly speaking, snakes in dreams doesn’t always mean something unpleasant or uncanny. While snakes in dreams can symbolize hidden fears, betrayal, and unresolved issues, dreaming about snakes can also mean transformation, creative life force, and wisdom....

This week, Dyson revealed the Dyson 360 Eye Vacuum, simultaneously the most powerful and smartest vacuum cleaner ever designed. Using its 360 degree camera, the Eye keeps constant stock of its surroundings, meaning it knows exactly where it is in the house at any given time (along with whether or not it’s cleaned that particular room); its unique navigation system allows it to easily find its way around any location....

They are off-the-grid, upcycled homes made out of recycled bottles, tires, cans, and dirt – essentially, everything most would consider garbage. From a “that’s nuts!” idea over a century ago, there’s a current wave of interest in self-sustaining homes built on the ground in out of nowhere places. The recent interest is out of concern with climate change, the lockdowns over the past years, or the passionate idea of living in a sustainable, entirely environmentally friendly home....

It’s a bit refreshing to see an industrial designer develop a bike concept that doesn’t fold. As cyclists ourselves, we don’t quite like folding bikes. The speed/weight losses are just too great to make up for the fact that they can fold in half. The Furious Sports Bicycle by Nenad Kostadinov appears to be focused on performance, yet adding a bit of futurism in design. The frame of the Furious bike is thin and aerodynamic, with the thickness to support the weight of its rider....
