This house in Austin Texas sits along the shores of Lake Travis. It is called The Tower House by Andersson-Wise Architects. It has just the right touches to stand out from its limestone neighbors while managing to blend in to the forest. Built with the goal of adding additional living space to one of the aforementioned cabins, this separate structure is comprised of three floors, with a bedroom on each of the bottom floors, and a terrace on the top floor. Its wooden exterior contrasts nicely with the surrounding rock, and begs visitors to climb for a better view of the water beyond.

Jessica Sjöstedt‘s champagne bottle packaging concept for Devout Champagne catches the eyes and has a great geometrical style. The unusually-shaped packaging has a drawstring at the top and comes apart in the middle. With its pleasing polygonal pattern and pastel tones, it’s certainly not like other Champagne boxes that I have seen on the market. What do you think of this concept packaging?

These were designed with portability in mind, am I right? The Master & Dynamic x Zero Halliburton Headphone Kit ($750) combines high end audio tools with the most trusted name is travel cases. Only 200 units were made, and each includes a pair of Master & Dynamic's MH40 Over Ear headphones, or their equally impressive MH30 On Ear headphones. Also included is a matching metal headphone stand, the new MM800 Boom Mic, all the pertinent accessories, and a sleek aluminum case from the go-to brand for protective luggage, Zero Halliburton. Top notch sound, design, and portability for the serious music lover. Plus, look how stylish these look and I'm sure the sound is just as great. They're also available in an assorted colors as well.

This is not a high-end hi-fi system or the sexiest centerpiece, however the Crosley Revolution Turntable ($70) can do something the high-end player can't: go everywhere you want it to go. This turntable is smaller than a record case and runs off 4 AA batteries, and weighs under two pounds, it's one of the most portable options around. It also has a USB port than can be used for power or for ripping your vinyl to a computer. It is available in four different colors.

These bottle of juice are not only beautiful, but very clean. Almost a shame to consume the products because the packaging is so elegant with the striking contrast between the black and the different vibrant colors. The clear labels with the black satin is a nice touch as well, with the name and content detail looking like they were printed on the bottles. A little about the company below.
"Owen + Alchemy is a small ‘juice apothecary’ in Chicago’s Logan Square neighborhood, a very trendy and flourishing part of town. The owner, Anne Owen, has a background in fashion publications in Miami and wanted to bring that simple, stark and fashion-forward look to her juice bar. Her name, paired with the alchemic approach of their juice and food concoctions led us to create this brand inspired by old alchemic symbology, with a modern twist."So what do you think of this branding?

USB wall outlets have been around for a while now, however they require messing with your wiring. Who want's to do that? The SnapPower Charger ($16) does not. Thanks to the smartly-placed prongs that draw power from the screws on the outside of the outlet, you can add a powerful 1-amp charger to any receptacle as easy as you can change the cover plate. All you need is a screwdriver and a few seconds. It charges any USB device (phones, phablets, tablets, hotspots, etc.) and eliminates the need for bulky wall warts.

Asus Chromebit: What Is It?
Being a person who loves dancing. You can already guess that I want a pair of these shoes. Orphe is a smart-shoes system that uses motion sensors and LED's to enable new forms of expression. They are like the shoes from when you were a kid, but a lot cooler.
Orphe is a smart-shoes system designed for performance that functions both as a customizable lighting system and a musical instrument/audio-visual controller. The sole of each shoe contains advanced motion sensors, around 100 full-color, serially-controlled LEDs, and a wireless module. This technology allows users to intuitively express themselves in new and interesting ways by freely mapping interactions between their movements and light and sound (patent pending). They also provide a system that makes it easy for users to share the assets they've created online. If you want more information. Check out the video below or check out the Kickstarter. Sorry to say though the Early Bird special is already sold out.

Assembled by hand in Brooklyn.
