LR2 House

Perched above Pasadena, Montalba Architects stacks a series of volumes on a hillside to create the LR2 House. The 4,200-square-foot residence utilizes a matchbox concept, layering rectangular masses against the steep slope. Each one is rotated to obtain its own outdoor spaces for a collection breezeways, porches, courtyards, and rooftops to take advantage of the California climate and mountain vistas. While its dark, angular exterior creates a monolithic facade, white walls and natural light produce a contrasting atmosphere on the interior. The restrained palette and minimalist aesthetic allows the focus to remain on the expansive views of the landscape.

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. Enjoy $220 off through end of November.

Performance Golf The Straight Stick Swing Trainer

A golf swing is made up of many parts working in sync to deliver consistently straight, playable shots. Focus on fixing any single area and you can throw the rest out of whack, so The Straight Stick from Performance Golf works on all of them at once. Designed by renowned club designer Jeff Sheets, it provides instant auditory and sensory feedback that will get your core swing mechanics working in unison with just a few swings a day. Simply adjust the patented Compression Clicker to match your swing speed, adjust the AccuGrip to keep your hands in the ideal position, and swing the club until you hear a click. The Stick can be used indoors or outdoors, with or without hitting actual balls, and comes in both driver and 7-iron variants, meaning it's also a great way to get your game in shape over the winter months so you're course-ready when spring rolls around.
