CCS Architecture have designed a home for a couple in Mill Valley, California. Project description This 5,000-square-foot house in Mill Valley was designed as a home for an empty-nester couple. The site was the inspiration and the guiding element for the architecture: vast views of Mt. Tamalpais, intimate connections to groves of redwood trees, and a steep incline. Given its location, stepping up the hillside and squeezed between redwoods, the home is stratified into three levels. The lower floor is built into the hillside, while the upper two are open to daylight and views. The first floor includes the garage, entry, painting studio, gallery, and guest quarters. The entry is a two-story space with a staircase leading up to the second floor—the main living level–which connects to the outside with views in many directions. This double-height space, the spatial core of the house, has a large bay of windows focused on a grove of redwood trees just 10 feet away. The top

Chengtao Yi has submitted his vision of super remote control, it’s called Holme. It’s an interesting concept, you can read his explanation below and in the images. “The concept of devices being connected through wireless internet and bluetooth is getting more and more popular. Companies are starting to re-imagine our living rooms, kitchen, etc with their new hardware as well as their software. Our lives would be more efficient yet more overwhelming in the future. That is why I decided to design a device that is powerful and simple enough so that everyone can get connected with their own places easily through both wifi and bluetooth intuitively.” Designer : Chengtao Yi Tuvie has received “Holme – Super Remote Control” project from our ‘ Submit A Design ‘ feature, where we welcome our readers to submit their design/concept for publication.
