Black Gems Townhouse

When a couple in Amsterdam wanted a place to house their two Jaguars, they called on Bureau Fraai. The garage couldn't simply store their vintage rides, it also needed to show them off. In response, the studio designed a private showroom to be placed in the backyard. The black volume holds both cars inside, stacking them on an automatic car lift. To highlight the owner's favorite model, a large steel plate-framed window acts as a display case that can be seen from inside the living room. Along with the garage space, Bureau Fraai also drafted a rooftop extension. The addition echoes the showroom with an ebony facade and steel plate-framed windows. The glazing to the front creates a desk space while the one in the rear opens to a terrace and garden. Internally, white walls and wooden built-ins offer a warm contrast to the stark exterior.

Roborock Q Revo

For its latest offering, Roborock amped up the mopping system. The Q Revo features new dual liftable spinning mops that polish floors at 200 rpm high. There's no need to remove the mop heads. When the robot detects carpet, the mops automatically lift, and the upgraded 5,500 Pa vacuum kick in. Smart reactive tech ensures the device avoids and detects obstacles when in use, while its intelligent mapping system allows owners to create no-go zones and fast cleaning options in the app. After each clean, the Q Revo returns to its docking station, where it empties, washes, refills, and dries the device all on its own for a truly hands-off experience.

Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni Robot Cleaner

Many robot vacuums are circular, which is a great shape for wheels and pretty bad for cleaning corners. Ecovacs' Deebot X2 Omni has a slim, square-shaped design that allows it to clean edge-to-edge while sneaking underneath chairs, tables, and other low-clearance items. An onboard dual-laser LiDAR system maps its surroundings and effortlessly avoids obstacles while automatically raising and lowering the mop, and the charging station also empties the bin and reloads the cleaning solution for a hands-free experience. Save up to $400 on the DEEBOT X2 OMNI during the holiday season.
