Meininger, who grew up in Germany but now lives in London, likes making things. So when he saw how much his young sons enjoyed the jungle gym and play forts at the local park, he made an indoor treehouse for them.

The general manager for the Palm Springs Riviera Resort & Spa told SFGATE that while its 233 employees were told they were laid off, the resort plans to keep on as many staff members as it can during the seven-month renovation, with a commitment to rehire the rest after the modernization is complete.

Three Falls State Park is centered around three waterfalls, including the 128-foot Frontenac Falls, which cascades down through a wooded gorge before meeting the lake.

The Off-Grid Luxury Mobile Double Office is a trailer-based unit that packs two fully independent workspaces and a sleeping area into a 26-ft (7.9-m) frame, all while running entirely on solar power. Built on a double-axle trailer, the unit spans 10 ft (3 m) wide, broader than a standard tow, which means it requires a permit for road transport.

Having a personal vehicle these days, is a luxury for a lot of people, and inter-city bus is a much more affordable form of transportation. What we really pride ourselves on is our ability to provide service to the under-connected, [like] folks who live in rural towns and small cities. And we're really excited to be helping these people access America 250 celebrations.

After years of traveling in a van, our wild hippie hearts wanted a place where we could build whatever we wanted, meditate outside in the sun, and feel inspired by natural, untouched land nearby. When we first visited Taos, New Mexico, we realized that this desert town - quirky, rural, spacious, and breathtaking - checked off everything on our list.

Monterey Park residents describe their predominantly Asian and Hispanic city as peaceful and quiet, with a convenient location in the San Gabriel Valley near to downtown Los Angeles. The intense data center backlash is prompted by an Australian asset manager's proposed project, a 247,000-square-foot site for computer servers that would also include a new electrical substation and, to stave off power interruptions, around a dozen diesel generators.

For 2025, there was good news and bad news: overall, these areas were visited 323 million times over the course of the year. That's the good news; the bad news is that this figure was down ever so slightly - specifically, 2.7% - from a record-setting 2024.

The city of Orlando happens to have the most green space per resident than any other major city, according to a new analysis from travel platform BookRetreats. The city, known as The City Beautiful, offers roughly 2,777 square feet of greenery per person. That translates to more than 148 parks, gardens, and recreation areas, according to the study, with plenty of lakes, trails, and botanical gardens to explore.

The memorandum, quietly posted on a website associated with the global commercial real estate company CBRE, says that the Palisades fire created a "blank canvas for redevelopment" at a site "ideally positioned for a transformative residential or mixed-use project." The memorandum describes the current single-family residential zoning as "favorable" for developers.

The city is at a crossroads. Some areas of the town are 30, 35 years old and may need more attention than the newer areas. We have a dichotomy of needs in that we have to provide services to both the old and the new sides of town.

Formal groundbreaking for the Ahmanson Ranch project, a town-style development on 2,800 acres in the Simi Hills in southeastern Ventura County, will not take place until 2001. However, the project has already achieved historic status for the size of the private-to-public land transfer it produced and for reviving a design concept that marks a major departure from the car-dependent suburban enclave typical of the postwar era.

The World Traveler 22RB, as it's officially labeled (a nod to the 22-foot length and bed in the rear of the trailer), is new to North America after the model name debuted in Germany in August. As the RV industry continues to struggle in the U.S. after pandemic highs, Airstream seems to be introducing this trailer to court new buyers with a more affordable price point (starting at $63,800) and easy-to-tow design that may not require upgrading to a larger truck or SUV.

Indian Hills Ridge is a development of CoastFed Properties, formerly the Mayer Group. Construction has begun on four models at Indian Hills Ridge, a 66-acre project east of Yosemite Avenue and north of Flannagan Drive in northeast Simi Valley.

When I arrived at Liberty Tiny Village on a warmer than usual day in November, I thought I knew exactly what to expect. The resort-style, 55-and-older tiny home community in Aubrey, Texas, markets itself as an upscale community for retirees or soon-to-be retirees ready to shed decades of belongings in exchange for a smaller, freer way of living. But that's only part of the story. That afternoon, I sat with two neighbors, widows Debbie Giamalva a retired intensive care nurse, and Sherry Miller, a retired English teacher.

Rivian's battery-powered delivery van has been on sale practically unchanged since its introduction in late 2021. Except for the battery chemistry switch and electric motor upgrade in 2023, when Rivian transitioned to a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) pack and an in-house drive unit, the lovable electric van has been rolling off the assembly line in the same form for a little over four years.

Residential architecture remains one of the most active fields for unbuilt architectural exploration, offering a lens through which architects rethink how domestic space can respond to landscape, climate, and contemporary patterns of living. In this Unbuilt edition, submitted by the ArchDaily community, the selected proposals bring together a range of residential projects that engage with houses, villas, and retreats as sites of withdrawal, mediation, and everyday inhabitation.

West Palm Beach, Fla.-based Mesocore Modular Homes is introducing an expandable modular housing model aimed at improving affordability and disaster relief, an important issue in a state prone to devastating hurricanes. Positioned as an affordable housing solution for both homebuyers and city leaders, planners, emergency management professionals, and resilience experts focused on addressing climate-driven risks, Mesocore's expandable home can start as a 420-square-foot, one-bedroom, one-bath home with a private bedroom, a full kitchen, a living area, and a built-in desk.

Of the options famously offered by hip-hop group The Sugarhill Gang, motels are often the cheapest. They also poke a soft spot in the heart of nostalgia-lovers. Some might look down upon them, but a road trip wouldn't be complete without these bastions of terrible coffee and neon splendor. Last year marked the 100th anniversary of the first motor hotel in the world - the Milestone Mo-Tel in San Luis Obispo.

It is proposing: 670 apartments, 101 of which will be offered at below market rates, Three office buildings totaling 740,000 square feet of office space (which is large enough for 2,960 employees using the benchmark of 250 square feet per worker), A 15,000-square-foot childcare center, 40,000-square-feet of retail space and 3 acres of open space, including a dog park and 1.5 acre "redwood lawn."

As someone who has driven a 2001 Isuzu Trooper for most of her life, getting the keys to an electric car made me feel like I was trading in a BlackBerry for an iPhone. With electric cars exploding in popularity, I traveled to sunny California last summer for a weeklong trip in Palm Springs, where I rented an Audi E-Tron Sportback and took it all the way to Joshua Tree National Park.
