This award-winning purifier allows you to maintain indoor air quality without sacrificing an iota of style. Though just 18.5 inches tall, the Airmega 150 (shown here in SageGreen) and its triple-layered filtration system can remove allergens, odors, and certain bacteria and viruses from a 214-square-foot-room.
From a company founded by a group of CERN scientists, this battery-operated monitor is designed to take the guesswork out of indoor air quality by detecting radon and common pollutants. Simply wave your handover the device for a visual assessment (it will glow green, yellow, or red) or download the app for detailed reports.
In 2013, Jennifer Warner and Cara Frey fell in love with a modest but charming 1920s house within walking distance of their bungalow. The dwelling was dramatically sited, with great views of Portland’s southwest hills and downtown. But according to Michael Leckie, the Vancouver–based architect they eventually hired, "It was the dumpiest house on the block." Leckie replaced the house with a simple, modern design, using a basic square wood box that skews into a rhombus form, which he topped with a sloping roof. Their son, William, 6, swings in front of the cedar-clad house.
