Futuristic Door Concept
"Designed by Brazil based design group Nódesign, the Maxdoor is a modern door concept that comes with a remote control, a digital door bell, number lighting that displays the house number, and a battery that powers the door up to one week without power supply.

A Landmark Modernist House Heads to Auction
The Kaufmann House, a 1946 glass, steel and stone landmark built on the edge of desert town Palm Springs by the architect Richard Neutra, has twice been at the vanguard of new movements in architecture helping to shape postwar Modernism and later, as a result of a painstaking restoration in the mid-1990s, spurring a revived interest in mid-20th-century homes.
