Shelter from the Sun Peter and Lynda opted for Hunter Douglas clutched roller shades with a medium-opacity black cloth because the material filters the sun but still reveals the view when drawn. At night, it blends with the black steel frame. They worked with the Alcatraz Shade Shop in Oakland. hunterdouglas.com alcatrazshade.com

Aquantify II Submitted by: Jake Bjeldanes and Tim Daw, Industrial Designers Description: a shower head that meters how much water the user consumes Designer’s Statement: “How much water do you use to take a shower? Most people don’t know that answer. They’re too busy planning the day ahead to think about water conservation. The Aquantify shower head takes out the guesswork, displaying the exact volume of water used on its easy-to-read dial. It encourages daily conservation by reminding users of their own personal footprints. With no batteries to die or electronics to fail in a wet environment, the Aquantify is designed to last. There are no complex systems to learn. It’s as easy to read as a clock. The volume of water used is displayed at the tip of the water drop symbol on the face. When the water starts to flow, a simple water turbine inside the Aquantify begins to spin and engages a clutch. A shaft beyond that clutch drives a series of three gears to turn the numerical dial. The spinning dial tensions a return spring that spins the dial back to zero when the water is turned off and the clutch disengages. The Aquantify doesn’t just count the water flowing past, it also delivers it in three different ways. First the outer ring nozzles emit a fine, high-pressure spray. The inner ring emits a soft aerated spray. The last emitter is at the center of the drop symbol. It’s a fogger that envelops the user in a blanketing fog of warm mist.”
