The Matranga family built a 560-square-foot tiny house for their family of four in 2022, experiencing both love and regret about its design after four years of living there.

Cats knocking things off tables is perhaps the most documented animal behavior in human history, captured billions of times, studied by actual ethologists, and still inexplicably funny every single time.

The original intent of pilotis was to create a sense of lightness that would allow circulation and light to flow beneath a structure, but contemporary requirements render thin columns insufficient for large-scale civic projects.

The entire body of the lamp functions as a lenticular lens, using the fine, horizontal ridges of the 3D printing process as the optical array.
