Holocene House is like being in nature. Canopied in plants, water flows through like a rainforest creek, and every room opens to the outdoors. Balancing residents' health and comfort with environmental performance, the carbon-positive home is the first in Australia to be certified by the global Active House Alliance.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Holocene House replaced an existing home with million-dollar views of Sydney's Shelly Beach from the front and a national park at the rear giving a delightful outlook to coastal heath. This proximity to bushland brought unique challenges: the design needed to achieve a Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) rating of 29 and provide a bandicoot corridor so endangered fauna could forage undisturbed at night.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Holocene House showcases what happens when we invest in sustaining life and leading change rather than building bigger and more. The home will soon generate more energy than was used to create and operate it. Regenerative thinking guided every aspect of design and construction, from the innovative use of low-embodied-energy spotted gum Shou Sugi Ban for exterior cladding to the natural swimming pool and extremely low-toxicity finishes throughout.Save this picture!The owners wanted their home to feel like a rainforest creek. So CplusC designed the Holocene House around a living water source shaded by plants. Cleansed by a biofiltration system of polishing ponds, reeds, charcoal, and pebbles, water flows from the rear to form a natural swimming pool that animates the dramatic living spaces and expansive outdoor deck. Tumbling to the entrance of a waterfall, the water is recycled back into the system.Save this picture!To enter the home, you step from stone to stone, ascending beside the cascading waterfall to the living space. All around you is what feels like a quiet watercourse shaded by a veil of plants and open to the natural world. The air is filled with the play of water, a light and soundscape awash in color from the expansive colored glass windows in the double-height front living space. Paddle your feet, swim, float or lounge in the cargo net suspended over the waterfall.Save this picture!To create this playful and rejuvenating space for family life, the home turns inward, away from the iconic ocean panorama. People can still enjoy the views by climbing a spiral stairway to an intimate roof garden. They're also perfectly framed through the unconventional patchwork of the stained-glass windows, inviting a different perspective on how a harbor city like Sydney fetishizes every water glimpse. Light streams in, creating beautiful and unexpected effects that uplift and delight a reminder that here, what's sacred is the relationship with nature, and sustaining ourselves within it.Save this picture!The home is climate resilient and produces more than it consumes. Its photovoltaic system generates twenty percent more energy than the family needs and a 15-kilolitre underground rainwater tank provides water self-sufficiency. Grey water sustains the carefully selected local plants year-round. The natural swimming pool is a reservoir, recycling, and cleaning water to nurture coastal ecology and our friends the bandicoots.

URUL House / STUDIO TERRATECTSSave this picture! Running StudiosHousesWayanad, IndiaArchitects: STUDIO TERRATECTSAreaArea of this architecture projectArea:1600 ftYearCompletion year of this architecture project Year: 2023 PhotographsPhotographs:Running Studios Lead Architects: Ar. Roshith Shibu More SpecsLess SpecsSave this picture!Text description provided by the architects. Urul, located amidst the serene landscapes of Wayanad, is a research-based project designed for a nature-loving couple. This two-bedroom residence immerses its occupants in the surrounding beauty while honoring nature's colors and elements. Positioned against a rocky hill with a panoramic view of Chembra Peak and an Indian Rosewood tree as the focal point, the house blends harmoniously with its terrain. The cantilevered ground floor minimizes earth disruption, creating a sense of a balcony. An environmental study identified two underground paleochannels, guiding the placement of the well.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!The residence offers captivating views from every angle. A circular cutout in the C-shaped entrance bay frames Chembra Peak, setting the stage for the scenic journey ahead. The living room and master bedroom continue this theme, with glass replacing the south wall, inviting nature inside. The open interior layout frames views of the exterior or interior, ensuring a seamless connection with the surroundings. A glass-flanked bridge connecting the kitchen to the block further blurs the lines between architecture and nature.Save this picture!Urul's construction merges traditional techniques with modern innovation, using local materials and craftsmanship. Through research and interviews with elderly masons and local tribes, valuable insights were gained on building in harmony with nature, employing sustainable techniques and materials sourced directly from the site. This approach has influenced local building practices, with mud plastering researched for waterproof and insect-proof qualities. Local artisans were trained in this method, which they continue to use in their projects.Save this picture!The mature Indian Rosewood tree is woven into the design, symbolizing the connection between the home and its context. As one ascends to the first-floor bedroom, the tree's presence offers a unique view, imbuing the space with natural charm and drama.Save this picture!Designed to maximize natural light and ventilation, the building captures the interplay of light and shadows throughout the day. The pooja space at the entrance, illuminated by a skylight, exudes a divine atmosphere. Reclaimed wooden logs, known locally as shavock, line the ceilings of the living area and first floor, casting striking shadows on the walls. Circular cutouts in the metal staircase create playful patterns underneath. This transforms the house into a living sundial, allowing residents to gauge the time by observing the shifting shadows, blending functionality with aesthetic appeal. Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!The site's history of landslides and water runoff posed construction challenges. Trenches, up to 2 meters deep, were dug along identified landslide paths and filled with rocks to create artificial drainage. A retaining wall at the rear acts as a buffer against stone falls, while bamboo (Dendrocalamus Giganteus) was planted to stabilize the soil further. Urul harmoniously integrates with its environment, inviting nature indoors and prioritizing sustainability. It offers a visual feast with nature-inspired design, ensuring that residents experience every facet of the environment within the comfort of a home.

Xbox Elite Series 2 Controller $124 (was $180) See at Walmart See at Amazon See at Target Xbox Elite Series 2 Core Controller (White) $98 (was $130) See at Walmart See at Amazon See at Target Xbox Elite Series 2 Core Controller (Blue) $98 (was $140) See at Walmart See at Target Xbox Elite Series 2 Core Controller (Red) $96 (was $140) See at Target See at Walmart The Xbox Elite Series 2 Wireless Controller is on sale for its best-ever price at a major retailer. Walmart and Amazon have dropped the price of the Microsoft's premium controller to only $124, down from $180. Target also has the Elite Series 2 on sale, but it'll cost you one whole dollar more there. We don't expect this deal will stick around for long. If you're an Xbox or PC gamer, we'd recommend snagging this while you can. The Elite Series 2 has been around for five years, and it has never dropped to this low of a price at a major retailer.Also, if you're buying Elite Series 2 as a gift or want it to play Indiana Jones and the Great Circle this week, you'll want to order it from Walmart or Target. Amazon currently estimates that orders placed today (December 8) won't arrive until January. Xbox Elite Series 2 Controller $124 (was $180) The Xbox Elite Series 2 Controller is our pick for the best premium Xbox and PC controller you can buy in 2024.The Elite Series 2 connects wirelessly via Xbox's wireless frequency or Bluetooth on PC and mobile. It can also be hardwired with the included USB-C cable. As for the features you won't find on a regular Xbox Wireless Controller, the Elite Series 2 can store three customizable control profiles, is equipped with trigger locks with three stopping points, and has swappable sticks with adjustable tension, D-pads, and back paddles. It also has textured grips and is made with better materials. The difference in quality is immediately noticeable.Here's what you get with the Elite Series 2:6 swappable analog sticks - standard pair, "classic" (smaller) pair, one wide dome, one tall.4 removable back paddles2 D-pads - the one shown above and a standard cross designCharging dockBraided USB-C cableThumbstick tension adjustment toolHardshell carrying case with dedicated slots for all components See at Walmart See at Amazon See at Target Xbox Elite Series 2 Core Controller (White) $98 (was $130) The Elite Series 2 Core Controller is also on sale for low prices right now. The difference between the Core and the standard model is that the Core only comes with the controller. It's the same premium controller with textured grips, trigger locks, and the ability to swap components. It doesn't include the four back paddles, four extra sticks, second D-pad, adjustment tool, charging dock, or carrying case.If you decide you want extra components down the line, there are plenty of third-party accessories for cheap. Our recommendation for back paddles is Scuf's Elite Series 2 Paddles for $20--though they are often on sale for $15. You can even find full accessory kits that are actually pretty good for as low as $18.Note: Amazon estimates the Elite Series 2 Core won't be delivered until after Christmas, but Walmart and Target have units on hand now. Walmart and Amazon have it priced $1 below Target's deal. See at Walmart See at Amazon See at Target Xbox Elite Series 2 Core Controller (Blue) $98 (was $140) Once again, this model is one buck less at Walmart compared to Target. Amazon is sold out of the blue model. See at Walmart See at Target Xbox Elite Series 2 Core Controller (Red) $96 (was $140) Target's price for the red model of the Elite Series 2 Core Controller is $96, while Walmart has it for $98. Amazon is also sold out of the red model. See at Target See at Walmart The Xbox Elite Series 2 released back in 2019, but it still feels like the standard in the pro-style controller market. The Elite Series 2's superb weighting, incredibly solid build and high-quality components make it feel like a controller that's worth its $180 asking price. It's an absolute steal at $124. Numerous third-party brands have tried to outshine the Elite Series 2 in recent years, and although there have been a few controllers that have come close, all of the solid wireless alternatives cost either the same price or higher. And that's when the Elite Series 2 is at full price.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Last week, Amazon was charging more than Walmart for each edition, but now both retailers have the same prices.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Vanguard heroes in Marvel Rivals are tanky brawlers who like to get up on the enemy's face and cause mayhem. While they don't deal the most damage, in 1-on-1 situations, it's almost impossible to win out against them. If that seems like a playstyle you want to try out, Venom is your perfect hero.
