Is there anything to it? Have you ever thought that we live in homes that are too big, which take a lot of time and money for maintenance and burden the environment and space? Or is it just another fad? You will judge that for yourself. We will focus on the positive aspects of living in small houses, maybe you will find them too.

A musician, athlete and horse lover by heart and profession. According to the sign of Aries, although I don't put anything on it. It just freaks me out when I get to the guitar store. I root for Roger Federer.
Ideas for new living solutions grow like mushrooms after the rain. And if there's a mushroom picker in you, you know that the picking is excellent this year. We don't know how it is with mushrooms in the USA, but we do know that they have set up a rather fancy housing unit in the famous Joshua Tree Park.
If you're a TV fan, these are exciting times indeed. The transition from cathode ray tubes to thinner screens was quite revolutionary, but the path of progress did not stop there. Now we are witnessing ultra-thin TVs, with exceptional image resolution and smart control. And the manufacturers don't stop there either. Some have decided to collaborate with well-known designers who have turned their televisions into real works of art. They did the same at Loewe.
Finally! On their website, we were able to count down the days, then the hours, and finally the seconds. Then it boomed! In San Francisco, GoPro unveiled its new camera, which is a real treat. It hit the shelves immediately after the event, but we'll take a look at it here first.
It was about time. For a nice camera that protects your home, namely. But wouldn't it be nice to have a safety device that everyone thinks has a purely decorative function? It might be even more attractive to intruders, and when they try to steal the device, they will show their face even more closely. Well, kidding aside. Here is probably the most beautiful of them - Halo Smart Security.
Not that 2017 is already coming to an end, but we can still draw the line at some things. For smartphones, 2017 has been quite an eventful year so far, colored by many novelties, astonishing innovations and the struggle for users. But the year isn't over yet, as there are likely to be some great smartphones on the way, such as the Google Pixel 2 and Huawei Mate 10. Are you up for a look at what Apple, LG, Samsung and others have prepared for us so far? This is a selection of the best smartphones of 2017.
Hiking or trekking has been a very popular recreational physical activity of all generations for many years. We usually only go on the trip for one day, but sometimes we also stay overnight. Traditional mountain huts are often overcrowded, some even slightly dilapidated. In the architecture studio Envelope Architects, they designed a completely off-the-beaten-track cottage that will make you think it came from the (distant) future. Introducing The Perch.
Have you ever wondered what life on a ship would be like? How would it be to tie a turban, put it on your shoulder and sail into the open sea? Life and views without limits, and every day would bring something new. But these are just dreams or pious wishes of most of us. It's probably not as romantic as we imagine. But in the modern technological age, we are at least somewhat spared, because we can watch such shows on our mobile phones.
We would all live in Sweden, right? Excellent education, a well-organized health system, excellent support from the state apparatus, high morale of the inhabitants and an excellent economy, this is what we hear most often from the local residents. Among other things, Sweden is also excellent at attracting tourists to its country. (Remember the Airbnb campaign?) Let's see what they came up with now.
We know drones are on the rise. Perhaps even bigger than electric cars. It's only a matter of time before they take our children to school or bring us food from the grocery store. What if you had another one right at home? Such, in the form of a digital assistant? Looks like we're getting one soon too.
The world of yachting is full of breathtaking vessels, the vast majority of which can only dream about or hang them on their wall in the form of a calendar. Now, Sinot, the Dutch luxury yacht manufacturer, will amaze us with its new creation, which they named "Nature". The first (or even the second) impression is that it is difficult to decide whether this is a yacht or a luxury hotel on the water.
Shall we build you an island? No problem. Such an answer would be offered to you by the company Migaloo, which is also famous for the design and manufacture of luxury submarines. But now they offer something else. Something that is like an island, something where we can stay in the middle of the open sea.
