The architects discreetly sunk a pool into the roof terrace of the old corral. In order to shade part of the terrace, the architects designed a freestanding sun shelter. So as not to damage the outer walls of the old building, a galvanized-steel frame is secured to the terrace floor. A bamboo-reed covering projects a soft, filtered light onto the outdoor living area below.

An aluminum water-jet cut fence divides separates the house from its neighbors."My favorite part of the courtyard," says Höweler. He and Meejin took one sheet of metal and cut it down the middle in a zig-zag pattern. "It produces a 'screen' look and creates beautiful shadows. I like that it is materially efficient—there is zero waste of material since both sides of the sheet are used."

Loft Zig-Zag Floor Lamp (6 arm D9406), Jielde, $1,395

Ryan Walker: "This light can twist and turn to illuminate dark corners brought by fall’s early nights. This twisting and turning was, in fact, what has made Jielde lights one of the preferred task lighting options since its inception in the 1950’s—it also doesn’t hurt that they look so darn cool!"

The term “Internet of Things” was first documented by British visionary Kevin Ashton in 1999.

The first Internet appliance was a Coke machine at Carnegie Melon University in the early 1980s. The programmers could connect to the machine over the Internet, check the status of the machine and determine whether or not there would be a cold drink awaiting them, should they decide to make the trip down to the machine.
