This house split in half to make room for a rooftop garden
The upper half of this house just peeled off and floated away. Well, not floated, it slid sideways, leaving a gap wide enough for a rooftop garden, a swimming pool, and an outdoor yoga deck. Indonesian firm K-Thengono Design Studio sliced the 712-sq-m Split Mass Residence in South Tangerang right through its middle volume, connecting a home cinema below to open sky above. Clever. The planted green roof and landscaped gardens aren't decoration tacked on afterward, they're the reason the house broke apart in the first place. And the open interior, drenched in daylight and cross-ventilation, makes you wonder why more homes don't just split themselves in half when they need breathing room. It reminds me of that leaf that cracks seawater into hydrogen, weird, specific solutions hiding in plain sight.
Epson's new lasers don't care about your living room wall, they'll paint 300 inches on it anyway
Epson's new lasers have looked at your living room wall and decided it's basically a blank canvas begging for a 300-inch punishment. The Home Cinema LS5000, LS6000, and LS7500 are joining the existing LS11000 flagship, and all four of them will happily throw an image the size of a small garage door across your paint job. That's absurd. That's wonderful. That's a 100-inch TV quietly feeling very inadequate right now. Here's the thing about this lineup: it's not just about size, though size is the headline. It's the laser part that gets me. No bulb to babysit, no warm-up theatrics. Just light, appearing on demand. Epson is betting your home theater ambitions should outgrow the room you actually have. Fair enough.
