The new Artisan Plus tilt-head stand mixer model introduces a bowl light that helps achieve the perfect mixing consistency, along with half-speed options for precise mixing.

Until the last decade, it has had sunshine on it, which is part of the beauty of the building and why it's architecturally important. An atheist would agree with that.

The publication of the 1926 census last month showed just how common it was to rent out a spare room to a stranger, from Dublin households taking in culchies moving up to the Big Smoke to seek work to rural homes accepting 'paying guests' such as farm labourers or travelling salesmen.

"I thought it would be a relief to know that someone else was taking care of me and would fix anything that went wrong with the property. But I got almost physically sick when I visited the facilities. I knew the lifestyle wasn't right for me, and I wouldn't feel independent or stimulated."

The outer layer of Powerhouse Parramatta's facade is a steel exoskeleton made from repeating diagonal members, forming a dense lattice that carries loads while sitting off the main envelope. It performs as sun control, especially in the Sydney light where the western exposure can be intense.

"You have to respect the heritage," says Christian Boyens, Belmond's vice president, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the historical essence while upgrading the hotel.

The new Radio Télévision Suisse headquarters is designed to function as both a broadcasting center and a public venue, integrating educational and research facilities.

The bridge features a semi-circular plan, elevated at the second-floor level, connecting sloped gardens at both ends, enhancing the pedestrian experience in the area.

Sun Light & Power has installed over 3,000 solar power systems throughout the Greater San Francisco Bay Area, including custom-designed photovoltaic systems with battery storage.

Rudolph sketched a home built around a two-story great room, whose glass façade would gaze down a hill, over the sweep of land, under a roof with a pleated 'Googie' design.

The design is structured around geometric principles derived from Basque cultural references, with a central motif being the 'Eguzki-Lore,' a traditional sunflower symbol historically placed at entrances for protection.

Ceramic factories mark the transition from manual knowledge to serial production, expanding its scale without entirely severing its material origins. Scattered across different territories, these structures record the relationship between technique, landscape, and time.

Not only is it one of Brooklyn's most beautiful churches, designed by an important Brooklyn architect, George P. Chappell, not only does it have a gorgeous interior and a very valuable signed Tiffany landscape window, not only are the rest of the stained glass windows first quality, and not only are the church and rectory one of a kind and unique, it's also the church I used to attend.

Painting brick can transform your home, breathing new life to everything from fireplaces and accent walls to exterior facades. While brick is beautiful untouched, its natural tones don't always align with every design style.

Andreas Kostopoulos reactivates a 19th-century warehouse into Castor Place, a multi-use cultural venue designed to host an evolving spectrum of events, balancing preservation with a forward-looking spatial strategy.

Yip Shun-Ting Carbon, aged 36, who lost his mother, Pak Shui-lin, in the inferno in November last year that killed 168 people at a large residential complex under renovation, expressed the emotional toll of the tragedy. 'When I go to sleep every night, I imagine what the flat might now look like,' he said, reflecting on the memories tied to their home.

The house, designed to resemble a South African beach house, embraces open-plan living while adapting to the unique climate of Kerry, where sun-soaked days are rare.

The French system is built differently, and once you understand how it works, it is entirely manageable. The key is knowing what it does and doesn't provide, so you can fill in the gaps yourself.

"Plants absorb water through their roots and release it as vapor through their leaves. This slight increase in humidity can make a room feel cooler and more comfortable, particularly in dry, air-conditioned environments."

The renovation of the Gardiner Museum's ground floor was guided by three core principles: Accessibility, Connectivity, and Indigeneity, aiming to create a welcoming environment.

The magic room was a community effort, maintained by many residents volunteering their time to keep it well organised and running smoothly. I often saw my neighbour, Wendy Showyin, when I stopped by.
