Chuckanut Farmhouse

Overlooking the Samish Bay in Washington, Hoedemaker Pfeiffers has designed Chuckanut Farmhouse. The family dwelling occupies a small clearing along the foothills of Skagit Valley. ⁣Due to the compact size of the lot, the home would have to adopt a square footprint. The block form was then cut in two and connected by a glazed breezeway, allowing sunlight to enter in all directions. The volumes were topped with gabled rooflines for a barn-like appearance while vertical timber cladding and a standing-seam metal roof added to the rustic aesthetic. An additional challenge to the site was the placement of a garage. The solution was to insert a concrete structure into the hillside, creating a space to park without disrupting the natural landscape.

Dell XPS 13 Plus Laptop

It sounds too good to be true: double the power, yet longer battery life, all in a razor-thin design. Yet that's the promise of the Dell XPS 13 Plus laptop. It's powered by 12th Gen Intel® Core™ Processors that combine with the latest battery tech to deliver up to 13 hours of battery life, depending on screen configuration. ExpressCharge provides up to an 80% charge in just an hour over one of the two Thunderbolt 4 ports, while the screen can be equipped with FHD+, OLED, or 4K+ options, and stretches edge to edge. The zero-lattice keyboard also stretches edge-to-edge, with a backlit touch function row at the top and a seamless glass touchpad below. Overall, the notebook weighs as little as 2.71 lbs. and measures just 0.60" thick, making it effortless to take all that power on the go.
