Mint green-painted ironwork and tiles connect the indoors to the outside more fluidly.

Separated only by large expanses of glass, the interior and exterior landscape flow together.

The defining gesture of a house on the Big Island of Hawaii by architect Craig Steely is a 139-foot-long, four-foot-tall concrete beam spanning the roof.

The pool continues inward past the guest wing and runs beneath a small concrete bridge separating the public and private spaces. Steely credits contractor Mike Lynch with helping to engineer this feat of site-poured concrete.

Low-flow bathroom fixtures by Hansgrohe reduce water consumption.

Though few of us employ personal shoppers, we all make personal use of dressers. The unflappable fashionistas of Go Fug Yourself assess these modern dressers and weigh in on the well played and the played out.

The Go's portability solves a common issue with lighting: getting it exactly where you want it to be. For example, why kill a party's vibe with overhead lights when this'll do the trick? Or how about in a backyard where outlets are non-existent?

“Interactivity is something we play with a lot—we like objects that offer a lot of flexibility.” —John Arndt

The Stop2Go Watch from Swiss Company Mondaine takes the classic Swiss Railway Clock and reimagines it as a sophisticated wristwatch. Modeled after the Swiss Railway Clock designed by Hans Hilfiker in 1944, the watch captures the clock’s classic red second hand, along with its subtle twist. The red hand sweeps a full circle in 58 seconds—instead of the typical 60 seconds—and pauses for two seconds at 12 o’clock so the black minute hand can advance.

The Philips Hue Go hits the market at the end of May at Apple stores, Best Buy, and Amazon for about $100.

Glimpsed from the outside, it becomes clear how an internal corridor flows through both structures at an uncommon angle.

Wakeland goes to work on the garden terraces where the couple grows much of their own food.

Part of a larger collection by Michael Anastassiades for Flos, the IC Lights C/W1 Wall Light is an elegant orb supported by a perpendicular steel stem.

Good news, smart lighting fans: the Philips Hue—and its full spectrum of colorful illumination—is now available in a portable, wireless version.

Outdoor corridors allow the Worples to walk through the house and across the cove without going inside.

Here's a conceptual drawing of the apartment, showing the flow of light through the space.

This eye-catching villa in the Netherlands, designed by Next Architects, proves that you can go big and go home as well. While some homes feature hints of color, the Villa van Vijven structure garners well-deserved attention thanks to its warm orange facade that is meant to mimic the tiled rooftops of Holland’s country buildings. The orange of the exterior also carries over into the communal entrance beneath the building, offset by natural elements such as stones adjacent to the entryway.

The Gaboon-plywood walls flow through into the bathroom without a door to get in the way.

Let’s All Go and Have Breakfast by Teo Zirinis, from $16 for a 10 x 8 inch print.

The house has the feel of a refined barn: The kitchen flows into the dining area, then into a den. The two PISE “chimneys” serve to demarcate the transitions and visually unite the space.

The neighbors get a glimpse of what goes on in the Blauvelt-Winters courtyard.

The specter of Jeanne Moreau hovers over the playroom, which flows into Sasha’s room.

The Plus House—named for the perpendicular trajectories of light and air that pass through on the top and bottom floors—is one in a series of architect-designed homes commissioned by Arkitekthus, a development company founded five years ago with a pledge to improve the quality of prefab architecture. The spruce panels that coat the second-floor exterior will fade in tandem with the zinc-coated steel that rims the glazed windows and doors. "They will go gray like we do," says architect Claesson Koivisto Rune.

The postcards came frequently and were always a pleasure to receive.

The images throughout their trip varied but largely focused on landscape, structures, and interesting moments.

The back of the postcard had the name of the state the image was taken in.

Nine postcards from Andrew Kenney and Jake Jones project "Going Nowhere".

The postcard backs also had the project website as a nice reminder to go take a look.

There are precious few decorative flourishes in the house; the architects put their faith in line, form, and materials. Concrete, stainless steel, and birch were used in the kitchen, where not an inch of space goes unused.

Low-flow water fixtures and a grey water system are included in the C6 home.

The interior is expressed through a series of simple planes that allow each space to flow to the next.
