Coolers are also a mandatory part of summer equipment for camping and lying on the beach. But if you don't carry it just a few meters away, it quickly becomes a burden along with the umbrella, towels and other equipment, especially if you want to retreat to a more remote or hidden corner. If you don't want to lose your hand or your mini-wheel, consider the ATC All Terrain Cooler by Igloo, which you can easily carry over grass and stubble.
The World Architecture Festival 2015 (World Architecture Festival, WAF), which this time takes place in Singapore, will not announce the winning architectural solution until November, so all the nominees are already known. But since there are a total of 338 finalists for the most interesting new architectural solution, we made our own strawberry selection of the most interesting new buildings in the world that shone in the last year.
Cliff houses are nothing new. In the Middle Ages, countless castles grew on them, even today many people, admittedly not out of strategic aspirations, build a house on the edge of a precipice. But Casa Brutale on the coast of the Aegean Sea adds a new dimension to cliff houses. It does not lie on but in the cliff, and in addition, it acts as if it were rotated by 90 degrees. The concept is the work of OPA.
For more than 40 years, Parisians had to wait for a new skyscraper, but after 1973, a new one will start to grow. The controversial triangular building Tour Triangle was signed by the Herzog & de Meuron office, which revealed the original plans for it back in 2008. The facility will have 120 hotel rooms, an eminent restaurant, a bar and 70,000 square meters of business space. With a height of 180 meters, it will become the third tallest building in Paris.

Buying new equipment is a commitment, both financial and emotional. Kind of like dating. And our idea of a perfect date? Swinging in a hammock under the canopy with a cold beer in hand and a weak signal. But that's the easy part, deciding which hammock to hang between the trees is a little harder. That's why, according to the editors' selection, we have selected the 10 best, so that you can make the most of the minutes or hours of relaxation and carefreeness.
In the summer, we often move the kitchen to the open air, but what if we are mostly limited to the grill. But what if that's not always enough? This is where things get complicated. For picnics, food must be prepared in advance at home, in the camp we eat "outside" or simply. That's why the Camp Champ company of our northern neighbors found a solution for all those who miss the luxury of a full-fledged kitchen during picnics or camping, and therefore don't want to tow a caravan or rent a motor home. It is a compact wooden cube box that can be disassembled into a proper kitchen with a stove, counter and kitchen equipment.

The arrival of the Nest Cam device was somewhat expected, if we remember that Nest, which was founded by two former Apple people, recently bought the company DropCam. Nest has already controlled your home heating thermostat and detected smoke and carbon monoxide, and the Nest Cam also keeps an eye on the house like a watchdog. It is a direct descendant of the DropCam Pro camera, but slimmer, with a resolution of 1080p (the predecessor was capable of 720p), with a night view and an online service that allows you to follow the action anywhere in the world.
