The land upon which Shubin and Donaldson built the Revello Residence is central to its appeal. It is on the peak of a hill, standing above a number of properties along the coast below, and it makes this plot a part of its architectural use. The main level, where living rooms and kitchens and shared spaces live, extends out to the edge of the hill. This patio and yard is landscaped and furnished as if it were part of the architecture itself, making the home feel much larger than its constructed space alone....

The Round Tower House features a restored upper tower and a cavernous living section below. The tower was approaching the need for demolition, but the architect gave it a second life with this design. Amidst rehabbing the tower, the lower section was built with multiple skylights that gave a view to the home’s tower above. The below-ground entertainment section features a sunken courtyard with a swimming pool and sun deck that is hidden from view of the neighbors....

The concept of goggle-style display devices is not new, with early technologies dating back to the break of the 1990s. As hi-def display systems became smaller, thinner and lighter, a head-worn system like this began to finally make sense. Sony’s breakthrough foray into head-mounted display technology should spark a movement where other tech developers follow suit. Will Microsoft develop something similar for Xbox 360 and Windows systems? Could Apple get involved?...

Long time readers of TheCoolist will immediately recognize our obsession with Supra Sneakers. This weekend, Supra dropped the Supra Bullet White Tie Dye Sneakers, a fresh pair of black-and-white dye pattern kicks that are just aching for our feet. These new tie-dyed Supra Bullets are the dopest pair of zebra-style zapatos we’ve seen in some time, a white-soled casual kick with Supra’s trademark of refined sensibility. What we love about Supra is that while the sneaker trends grow and evolve, they continue to produce edge-of-fashion shoes that remain accessible in price....

If you’re part of the latter camp, we can only wish you luck as the fascination with drones increases on a daily basis. To those in the former: There’s never been a better time for getting incredible drones of any size for any purpose (though leave your neighbor and everyone else alone, Mr. Spyhappy). Aerial stunt flyers, photographers, innovators, and the casual user who got one for the sheer childish joy can all find a drone to keep them high in the friendly skies, so long as they know where to look....

One common outsider knock on Apple is the lack of extensive functionality in its mouse. No second button, no scroll wheel– no more. Today, Apple revealed the Apple Magic Mouse, a wireless mouse with multi-touch functionality and a design sensibility that continues Apple’s cultivation of cool. This mouse allows its users the typical functionality of a third party mouse, like scrolling and right clicking, but adds gesture sensitivity that allows for side scrolling, page turning and more....

Using a charcoal grill is like driving a manual car. You have full control in your hands, and once you get going, you are in for an exhilarating experience. Charcoal grills don’t come with pedals, but once you rev the heat and round the apex of bursting flavors, they’ll be spraying champagne on you. But there isn’t much glamor in the traditional charcoal grill. You have to get your hands dirty and your eyes smokey....

Every day, I’d take the bus from my brownstone on the Upper West Side to my office in midtown Manhattan. Every day, the bus was jam-packed with people, and you were lucky if you were able to snag a seat. Most of the time, I held on to a pole or the back of a seat, swinging around like a monkey (wearing high heels) every time the bus lurched to a stop....

Research says that belly fat is the most dangerous kind of fat in your body. Most people mistake being overweight with excess belly fat, but Overweight does not necessarily equal unhealthy whereas belly fat is definitely unhealthy. There are actually plenty of overweight people who are in excellent health. If you have a lot of excess fat around your waistline, even if you’re not very heavy, then you should take some steps to get rid of it....

The Toyota FT-1 Graphite Concept is identical to its red counterpart with the exception of the color scheme. Like the other FT-1, the Graphite version is still considered a design study without exact engine specifications. If life imitates art in any way, future versions of the FT-1 (and perhaps a production model) could share the 485-horsepower that the virtual FT-1 sports in Gran Turismo 6. From my perspective, it seems strange to invest so much in a design study, continue to promote it, and not eventually mate it to a firm engine specification....

The station, after giving the public the opportunity to nominate and submit names of individuals who they think influenced them positively, has finally released its final list of the Most Influential Personalities for the year 2014. As expected, the list has in it some notable citizens like Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, the prominent politician who first ran for the Presidential seat in 2008 and 2012, under the New Patriotic Party (NPP), but was defeated on both occasions by the National Democratic (NDC) candidates John Atta Mills in 2008 and John Dramani Mahama in 2012....
