The songs aren't stylistically similar, but "Music for a Sushi Restaurant" echoes "Watermelon Sugar" in that I can tell how much fun Styles is having, and his audible grin is absolutely infectious. I'd even venture to say "Sushi" is more delightful than his sophomore album's most beloved track. That's just one way the Fine Line single marked a pivotal moment in Styles' career. It also became his first No. 1 single on the Billboard Hot 100, proving that he has staying power as a pop star in his own right.

Styles’ experimental streak worked for him before Harry’s House, but this album feels settled in its skin, and truer to the artist he’ll ultimately be remembered as. From its huge lead single to a hugely affecting acoustic ballad, check out our picks for the most indispensable 'Harry's House' moments. Harry’s House is the long-awaited third album by the British singer and actor Harry Styles. It was announced on March 23, 2022, via Styles' social media along with the release date and a trailer.

Love Of My Life

Every album he’s released has become not only a huge win in the U.S., but a sturdy one. As of this week, all of his projects have reached a special milestone, with his most recent full-length just now making it to that mark. The opening track Music for A Sushi Restaurant "could have been taken straight from an Eighties J-Pop record", he wrote, but added that there were "hooks aplenty" on some tracks and "quieter, acoustic moments" on others. Little Freak – a patchwork of memories that sees Styles sing, ‘I disrespected you/Jumped in feet first and I landed too hard/A broken ankle, karma rules/You never saw my ‘birthmark’ – was part recorded in Tokyo (credited as ‘Tom’s Room’ in the liner notes). It’s the only track on the album that nods to the writing trip that Kid Harpoon mentioned in his Music Week interview, when he was named Songwriter Of The Year in our last issue of 2020. "Cinema" centers around the sensual side of a new relationship and piecing together where you both stand (and features some very NSFW lyrics too).

The Album Is Titled Harry's House, Arriving May 20

It was also noted there were official youarehome Twitter and Instagram accounts. “Grape Juice” is another song that talks about an emotional and physical hangover. “Late Night Talking” is another glittering song that talks about the feeling of being infatuated with someone. It also talks about wanting to spend every moment with one person, as Coup De Main reports. All three of Styles’ albums have now racked up at least 100 stays on the Billboard 200.

Harry’s House is Style’s third solo album and managed to move more than 500,000 units after the first week it was released. The album perfectly strikes a balance between earnestness and aloofness. "It's both acknowledging my own behavior. It's looking at behavior that I've witnessed," he told Apple Music about the song. "I grew up with a sister, so it's watching her date people and watching friends date people, and people don't treat each other very nicely sometimes."

"Do you think I'm cool too? Or am I too into you?" The singer's fans believe this track to be about his girlfriend, actress and director Olivia Wilde. On "Matilda," Harry imagines the advice he'd give the protagonist from Roald Dahl's 1988 novel as an adult. Backed by delicately fingerpicked guitar, Harry weaves a story about dealing with family trauma, growing up and starting anew.

Harry’s House is Styles’ loosest, least fussy solo album to date, the sound of an artist in a rarefied pop star zone, comfortable in his environment and not having to worry about any unkempt corners of himself. Harry’s House was always destined for success on the Billboard charts, but it was kept alive, at least in part, by the incredible performance of its lead single. “As It Was” debuted at No. 1 on the Hot 100 and held there for 15 weeks, ranking as one of the longest-charting leaders of all time.

"You can let it go / You can throw a party full of everyone you know / And not invite your family," he explains. "You don't have to be sorry for leaving and growing up." And, while he acknowledges that "it's none of my business" (a subtle reference to his 2017 track "Kiwi"), he shares, "it's just been on my mind." Late-night longing comes into play in "Little Freak," a soft, melodic track about a relationship that slipped through Harry's fingers before it could ever start. "I disrespected you / Jumped in feet first and I landed too hard," he confesses during the song's middle eight.

Following the languid, sensual “Grapejuice,” “As It Was” arrives as a jolt of live-band vibrancy on the album, its mashed drums and kinetic bridge packing an even harder wallop. It debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart with 113,000 album-equivalent units, becoming the fastest-selling and best-selling album of 2022 in the country. It also debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 with 521,500 album-equivalent units, including 330,000 album sales. It debuted at number one in various other countries, including Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland. Styles’ longest-charting album on the Billboard 200 remains his second solo offering, Fine Line.

Instead, Styles sounds more tender than ever as he croons, "If I was a bluebird / I would fly to you / You'd be the spoon / Dip you in honey so I could be sticking to you." Along with touring, Styles has co-starred in the psychological thriller Don’t Worry Darling and romantic drama My Policeman since the release of Harry's House. He also expanded on his fashion ventures, co-releasing a Gucci collection with fashion designer Alessandro Michele in Nov. 2022.

And as one of two songs with more than 2 billion Spotify streams alone, "Watermelon Sugar" has also proven to be a Harry Styles classic. Harry Styles finally revealed the full track listing for his eagerly anticipated third album, Harry’s House, and it did not disappoint. The singer posted the 13-track rundown on Thursday night (April 29) in the form of a classic album jacket, with the songs split into two sides. Harry Styles first found commercial success more than a decade ago as a member of One Direction, but since the group split, he’s more than proved himself as a solo superstar.

One of Styles' most gut-wrenching tracks, "Falling" offers an introspective take on heartbreak. The haunting piano-driven melody emphasizes the pain in Styles' voice as he realizes his harmful habits caused him to lose a lover. Though Styles has remained relatively quiet since the Love On Tour wrapped in July, he surely has fans anticipating his next move.

Its constantly pounding bassline is juxtaposed with Harry's breathy, distant vocals as he laments a love lost over a few bottles of wine. "I pay for it more than I did back then," Harry shares about his growing headache. "There's just no getting through / Without you / A bottle of rouge / Just me and you." If it's diaristic, open-heart-surgery-style music you're looking for, there are other artists who are happy to oblige. But if it's fistfuls of charisma and fruity allusions you're looking for, there's no one doing it like Styles. Instead, he disguised his homesickness as lovesickness, an ingenious solution that allows the song to resonate on several levels.

But whether "Boyfriends" is a practice in compassion or a personal anecdote, it's one of the most sonically stunning moments on the album. Styles' angelic harmonies, backed only by Ben Harper's acoustic guitar, recall the folksy allure of Simon & Garfunkel or Fleetwood Mac's "Landslide." Styles has always been a vibes-first, specifics-second songwriter — a formula that rarely benefits from speculation about his personal life. And it must be said that the slick, '70s vibes of "Cinema" are immaculate. It could've been inspired by Jar Jar Binks from "Star Wars" and I wouldn't care.

Multiple tracks on Harry’s House recall the dapper pop panache of Phil Collins’ ‘80s oeuvre, none more clearly than “Late Night Talking” — which sparkles above “Sussudio” synth chords and snappy percussion. Setting the tone for the album that follows, opener “Music for a Sushi Restaurant” downright struts — every choice here is loud and confident, from the outlandish romantic gestures in the lyrics to the horn jubilee that serves as a hook. If “Music for a Sushi Restaurant” is knowingly messy, Styles also understands the potential of a good freakout, as this track is guaranteed to slay when Styles plays it in concert. [Harry’s House is] more electronic in a lot of places than anything I’ve made, it’s also so much more intimate to me.

In the Hot 100’s 63-year history, Styles is just the second act to place at least 13 songs in the top 30 simultaneously. Styles highlights his vocal prowess in a different way on One Direction's youthful FOUR cut "Clouds." Not only did it feature extensive, powerful vocal runs, but it also showcased the rock sensibilities of his voice. "Clouds" diverted from 1D's traditional pop sound and ventured into a more guitar-driven style, incorporating rock elements and arguably foreshadowing the sounds of Styles' debut album released three years later. A deep cut from One Direction's second album, Take Me Home, "Over Again" features an impressive solo from a then-19-year-old Styles. This song takes listeners on a nostalgic journey, looking back to the happier days of an ill-fated relationship, yearning for the ability to rewind time to a point before the love story unraveled.

“As It Was”

I think it’s also the most free I’ve ever felt making music, it’s the most proud I’ve felt on anything I’ve made. “As It Was” is another incredible hit song on the album and brings out soft vocals and upbeat synths. It talks about a devastating type of perspective change that you don’t understand until too late. Others, such as Devonté Hynes, a Canadian musician, have also made an incredible contribution to the album. Kid Harpoon, an American producer and singer, has also assisted in writing and producing the tracks in the album.

Whether that requires staying up all night talking or traveling from "Hollywood to Bishopsgate," no feat seems too large as Harry sings, "Now you're in my life / I can't get you off my mind." However, as the album began to find its distinctive, slow-grooving, Laurel Canyon-inspired ‘70s sound, its title slowly took on a deeper, more personal meaning for the "Watermelon Sugar" singer. "I wanted to make like an acoustic EP or something and make it all in my house and make it really intimate." But it's also the second track on a playlist I made, consisting solely of songs about the contemplation of aging, the passage of time, and the crushing realization that you need to accept changes that have already been put into motion.

Four days later on May 24, he'll play another show at London's O2 Academy Brixton. Johnson and Hull co-produced 10 of the 12 tracks on Fine Line, and Johnson co-wrote all but one of the songs on Harry Styles ("Sweet Creature," which Hull coincidentally co-wrote). Harry's House also features appearances from Styles' previous collaborators Mitch Rowland and Amy Allen, the latter of whom co-wrote his Fine Line hit "Adore You." Whatever Harry's House brings, fans who enjoyed Styles' first two albums will likely revel in this one too. That's because the star wrote and recorded nearly every song with Tyler Johnson and Thomas Hull (better known as Kid Harpoon), two of his closest collaborators on Harry Styles and Fine Line.

When pressed further by Lowe, he said he hadn’t even played the song to the person he wrote it for. “Matilda” is another hit song on the album, an intimate yet plucky guitar song. It talks about a girl, Matilda, who grew up in a troubled household and signified a maturity of Styles’ craft. The third album from Styles hits triple-digit frames on the ranking of the most-consumed full-lengths in America this time around, giving the superstar his latest title to make it to that number. The noise became a clamour when the first reviews landed early on Monday morning, and it’s unlikely to die down any time soon. The third Harry Styles album is here, its arrival signalling not only an inevitable surge of hit singles, glossy videos and spiralling sales figures, but the next chapter for the singer and his craft.

That set has thus far spent 221 weeks on the tally—more than double that of Harry’s House. Harry's House, which takes its name from a track on Joni Mitchell's 1975 album The Hissing of Summer Lawns, will be released on Friday. It is "in the most part, a compelling release", Jochan Embley wrote in a four-star review. He also described it as "the most unconventional collection of music he's released so far". It is "a mature third album" that "majors in sounds evocative of the mid-80s", Petridis wrote, naming Prince and Steely Dan as comparisons on some tracks. "Where Styles does fall down, in comparison to the rock and pop greats, is in the lyrics," he wrote.

Of the 13 tracks on Harry’s House, five were written solely by Styles, Kid Harpoon (real name Tom Hull) and Tyler Johnson, who also serve as producers across the album. Mitch Rowland, who wrote on six Fine Line tracks and plays live with Styles, is credited as a co-writer on Music For A Sushi Restaurant and Keep Driving, and played drums on As It Was. Amy Allen, who co-wrote Adore You, is part of the folk-rooted Matilda here. Sammy Witte featured on Cherry from Fine Line, and is the sole co-writer on Cinema on Harry’s House.

"Daylight" is the latest track on Harry Styles' 'Harry's House' to receive the video treatment. The clip finds the three-time GRAMMY winner sauntering around a traveling carnival. He also extended his love and gratitude to his fiancée, Whitney Alford, and shouted out his Top Dawg Entertainment labelmates. Lamar specifically praised Top Dawg's CEO, Anthony Tiffith, for finding and developing raw talent that might not otherwise get the chance to pursue their musical dreams. After a wildly successful debut and sophomore record, you'd think it was impossible for Harry Styles to top himself. Yet, his third album, Harry's House, proved to be his most prolific yet.

Release history

One of Harry's House's few somber tracks, "Matilda" instantly became another fan favorite in his catalog. As he gently sings over plucked guitar instrumentals, he comforts someone who feels out of place within their family at home ("You don't have to be sorry for leavin' and growin' up," he sings in the chorus). "I've been so, so inspired by every artist in this category," said Styles, who was up against other industry titans like Beyoncé, Adele, Lizzo and Coldplay. "On nights like tonight, it's important for us to remember that there is no such thing as 'best' in music. I don't think any of us sit in the studio, making decisions based on what will get us [an award]." Weeks after its release and with multiple frames atop the Hot 100 under its belt, “As It Was” gains steam within the tracklist of Harry’s House, where it punctuates the rollicking first third of the album.

“Daylight” is defined as a stream of consciousness and talks about being infatuated with somebody. It brings out a phenomenon where a person has a crush on another person who doesn’t have time for them. The album is a batch of bubbly jam that can celebrate the emotional and bodily pleasures of a new romance. The chief interest of the album is drinks, food, travel, companionship, sex, and drugs. It is an authentic experience of this decade, and the main focus is to improve relationships. Meanwhile, Styles has become the latest star to sign up to read a CBeebies Bedtime Story.

Lamar has since won Best Rap Album two more times, taking home the golden gramophone in 2018 for his blockbuster LP DAMN., and in 2023 for his bold fifth album, Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers. A GRAMMY veteran these days, Kendrick Lamar has won 17 GRAMMYs and has received 47 GRAMMY nominations overall.

It’s also a really great idea to add some additional lighting around the lines of the ceiling. This adds a lot of coziness to the atmosphere and it can also be used as ambient light at night. As soon as you get rid of the dark and yellow surfaces you can start working toward a more modern and bright color palette.

Upholstery and Furniture

When it comes to organizing your RV, think outside the box and make use of every available space. Consider installing ceiling baskets to store lightweight items or utilizing the space under your RV bed for storage containers. The key is to find creative storage solutions that work for your specific needs and maximize the functionality of your RV interior. A rug can set the colour palette for the rest of the interior design. You can pick up the tones in the rug with your furniture upholstery and on the walls, and, of course, in any artwork and accessories that you choose to include.

New Technologies That Aided RV Interior Design Concepts

By incorporating wallpaper, you can add depth and visual interest to your motorhome. When it comes to RV interior design inspiration, space-saving furniture is a game-changer. Opt for furniture that is specifically designed for small spaces to maximize every inch of your limited area. A fold-out table, for example, offers the perfect solution for dining and workspace needs. It can be easily tucked away when not in use, creating a more open and spacious feel in your motorhome. They can be mounted on walls, cabinets, or even the back of doors, providing additional storage for items such as hats, jackets, towels, or kitchen utensils.

RV Cabinets

Use shelf liners to prevent shifting and insert a wave wine rack for aesthetic appeal. This will also provide easy access and prevent messy, wasteful spills on travel days. Hanging organizers are another excellent storage solution for RVs. You can hang them on hooks or rods inside your motorhome, utilizing vertical space and keeping your belongings easily accessible.

Wall hooks are a simple yet effective way to create additional storage options and keep your RV organized. Take advantage of the vertical space in your RV by installing ceiling baskets. These suspended storage solutions are perfect for stashing lightweight items such as hats, scarves, or even snacks. By utilizing ceiling baskets, you free up valuable floor and counter space, making your RV feel more open and spacious.

The Nomad’s Guide to Decorating

If your RV has carpet, you don’t have to remove it unless it clashes with your color scheme. Thankfully, most newer campers come with a tan carpet that can work well with the mid-century look and save you time and money. Look for paint made for kitchen or bathroom application, as it will have a more durable finish. For example, if you don’t want to sand your cabinets, buy a paint made specifically to adhere to varnished surfaces such as Beyond Paint’s All-in-One Refinishing.

While you can be more flexible with mixing patterns in large, open spaces, it doesn’t really work in small places where it often comes across as conflicting. Whether you use it as a backsplash in the kitchen or in the shower, installing tile is a neat way to introduce a permanent pattern into your RV. A bank of avocado or olive cabinets will give the interior a boost of color without being loud, or you can go bold with teal and let the kitchen area be a focal point. One of the appealing aspects of mid-century modern design is the timeless look of the significant furniture pieces.

This is also a great idea because you can easily throw it into the washer and not worry about the kids soiling it. Including your daily life into your decor makes life so much simpler. Not having to move things around in order to work, cook, or even do yoga makes those things less of a chore and more enjoyable. We expect to find mirrors in bathrooms, but updating one in an RV can add value and make a tiny bathroom feel expanded.

You can either purchase brand-new modular furniture, like these smart wooden boxes or put your inner DIYer to good use and get your hands dirty. Consider purchasing plans to build a modular cabinet system or multi-function bench. Purchasing new furniture can instantly give your RV interior a facelift, especially if your trailer came with dated furnishings that hail back to a different decade.

3 Ways to Air Condition Your Dog's House

• Air Conditioned Dog Houses: Pets Home Air Conditioner

Cooling and heating may be the main functions of an air conditioner, but some brands and models offer various other features. For example, you may want to opt for an AC for a dog house that provides a timer function or a dry mode feature. Some air conditioners even have an auto-shutdown feature. I’ve been looking for a portable air cooler for my apartment, and I’m so glad I found the Arctic Air Chill Zone!

Do Dog Houses Need Air Conditioning?

Pioneer Diamante is a super-powered dog house air conditioner. You will have to spend quite a bit of money and time to buy and install this unit — but having a truly air-conditioned dog house is worth it. You can save money with a DIY or personalized dog house and build a sturdy and high-quality home for your dog to protect him from the sun, rain, and snow. This can be easily transported whenever and wherever you like.

Installing Air Conditioning

The front part and back portion were put together using screws and glue. For the walls, cut the 4′ x 4′ composite sheets into a half, making two 2′ x 4′ sheets, thus matching the “A-roof”. Since the front wall contains the door and window, the plywood was cut first so the frame could be built around the geometries. The window frame overlaps the window by at least 1 inch with a cut-out slightly smaller than the wall cut-out to stop the glass from falling through.

- Akoma Hound Heater

One of the best ways to do this is to invest in an air conditioner for your dog’s house. In our estimation, the Dog Palace Insulated Dog House is the ultimate high-quality, extremely safe, spacious, and eco-friendly heated dog home. We struggled to find another home that checks the amount of boxes that Dog Palace’s Dog House does. The combination of thick insulation and thermostat-controlled heating makes for a variety of approaches to temperature control. It also has a flap door to keep out the elements, but which is designed for smooth entry and exit.

You can resolve that issue with a simple DIY wall vent. The floor dimensions measure 97 by 75 centimeters, so you’ll need 2 boards for the floor. You can assemble the frame then insert the styrofoam boards in the doghouse frame.

Additional Tips to Keep Your Dog Cool in Summer Heat

To prevent overheating and promote safety, the mat includes a choice of two different temperature settings as well as a timer function. The latter allows you to keep the pad on only as long as your pup needs it, whether that’s four or twenty-four hours. There’s a comfy polyester edge that makes the pad a great sleeping spot as well.

Evaporative Air Coolers

Many brands today offer ac units customized according to the size of the house. Portable dog house air conditioners often come with a fan, providing a cool and shaded space for your pet to rest. Air-conditioned dog houses can be used in most climates, but they are beneficial in areas with extreme temperatures or weather conditions.

Best Air Conditioned Dog Houses

You don’t want your dog to breathe in sub-products of freon-like liquids! Evaporative air cooling is the most natural way of cooling a dog house known today and is one of the techniques to make your pet comfortable during the summer season. It works just like cooling works in nature, and you are left knowing that your pet is safe and comfortable. This option is on the pricey side among AC units for dog houses and is sure to provide extra cooling comfort. A ductless split system can be installed without changing the house's structure. Just like an AC, it also launches the cooled air into your dog house.

Air Conditioned Dog Houses: Pets Home Air Conditioner

We can do that in the scorching summer months by investing in an air-conditioned dog house. While it may seem an extravagance, an air-conditioned dog house can offer numerous benefits to you and your pet. As a dog owner, you want to make sure your furry friend is comfortable and safe in their home, especially during hot summer months.

During summer, you should switch the fan’s direction clockwise for cooling. If you think your dog will go near the air conditioner or if there isn’t enough space inside the dog house, consider putting it outside. Outdoor portable ACs such as Climate Right or Kwi Kool can be ideal for this scenario.

Plastic is the most common material for cheap dog houses — for a reason. Plastic degrades in the sun and will eventually turn very brittle. Installation is even simpler than with the Heat-n-Breeze since there’s no exhaust fan. Just drill a hole for the power cable, mount the wall unit, and you’re good to go for several years.

Here it both releases heat to the outside air and is compressed back into a fluid. I’ve been using the Arctic Air Pure Chill 2.0 for a few weeks now, and I’m really happy with it. It’s made a big difference in my comfort level on hot days and nights. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone looking for a portable, easy-to-use air cooler.

The air is out of the sun in the shade provided by the dog house roof. Be sure to make sure it will stay dry and always follow electrical code and local bylaws though. In addition to these factors, you should also consider the quality of the materials used to build the dog house.

If you have a larger dog, pay close attention to the dimensions. This dog house is recommended for small and medium-sized dogs. You may consider this dog house for your blue-nosed pitbull.

He debuted the American Modern dinnerware as a starter set of 12 pieces, in a range of soft, earthy pastel shades. Housewives were hooked and successive design releases drew crowds to Macy’s and other department stores. The cabinetry throughout the house is made of bright white Formica, the shiny counter material popular in the 50s. Wright would switch over spring/summer white for a reddish burnt orange for the cooler months. You may not know Russel Wright’s name, but you’ve probably seen his American Modern dinnerware.

River Architects has been collaborating on a long series of projects at MANITOGA / The Russel Wright Design Center. Manitoga is the former home of the American industrial designer Russel Wright, and comprises the main house, pergola, studio, and a 75-acre woodland garden and trails- all part of Russel Wright’s unified design vision of living in harmony with nature. One of the few 20th-century modern homes open to the public in New York State, Manitoga/The Russel Wright Design Center preserves, interprets, and shares Russel Wright's modernist home, studio, and 75-acre woodland garden. Named Dragon Rock, Wright's home and studio is considered an outstanding example of Organic Modern architecture c. A joint project, the exterior of Dragon Rock is credited to architect David Leavitt and the interior design to Wright himself. The surrounding 75-acres of woodland garden were acquired and cultivated by Wright and his wife, Mary.

Landscapes & Gardens

Views of the swimming pond — which Wright created by redirecting a mountain stream — are spectacular, as are the 4 miles of walking trails he designed through the surrouding woods. The display of over 200 objects is the only permanent, in-depth public exhibition of the Wrights’ product designs anywhere. 1942Mid-century modern designer Russel Wright and his wife, Mary, purchase 75-acre property in Garrison, NY, formerly a quarrying and logging site. The couple begin to reclaim the landscape by creating Mary's Meadow, a 40-foot cascading waterfall, a series of outdoor garden "rooms" and a garden of woodland paths.

Space was allocated for art restoration functions and storage areas, and plans were developed for accessibility and egress, along with lighting evaluation and design. Existing finishes were restored in keeping with the initial intent of the design, and historic sensitivity was considered in all aspects of the project. Subsequently River Architects assisted the Russel Wright Design Center in the restoration of the Studio, which was plagued with a defunct mechanical system, serious moisture issues threatening the historic fabric with mold, animal infestation, and air quality issues. River Architects managed the work of the engineering consultants and the trades in identifying problems in various systems and how to address them, including the reinforcement of the block and native stone foundation walls. Insulation and vapor control strategies were implemented, eliminating pathways for mice and racoons from entering, and providing greatly improved air quality, vapor control, and thermal comfort to the interiors. The elimination of the failing oil-based furnace and fuel tank freed up space for clean and dry storage, and carefully situated heat pumps provide thermal comfort and improved humidity levels throughout the year.

During one nocturnal happening, young women danced in tunics made of polyurethane birch logs and ponchos studded with foam rocks to look like riverbeds. Like nature sprites, the dancers gamboled over “nature carpets,” rugs crafted of foam by the Turinese artist Piero Gilardi.

Neill has worked closely with many musical innovators including La Monte Young, John Cage, John Cale, Pauline Oliveros, Rhys Chatham, DJ Spooky, David Berhman, Mimi Goese, King Britt, and Nicolas Collins. Neill leads concerts of Young’s The Second Dream of the High Tension Stepdown Line Transformer with an international brass ensemble; performances have recently been presented in New York, Amsterdam, Paris, Amsterdam, Huddersfield, Den Bosch, Oslo, Krems, Koln, Los Angeles, and Warsaw. Back in 1967, Arte Povera artists in Italy, the radicals of their time, hung out at the Piper Club, a discothèque of, by and for the avant-garde in Turin.

MANITOGA / The Russel Wright Design Center ensures that the extraordinary spirit of place of Manitoga and the timeless design vision that inspired its creation are preserved and shared. Other current projects include Trove, a 104 track album of ambient music performed on the Mutantrumpet created during the Covid pandemic, and collaborations with vocalist/composer Mimi Goese, chaos mathematician Ralph Abraham, and the Beacon Institute for Rivers and Estuaries. Neill has recorded thirteen albums of his music on labels including Universal/Verve, Thirsty Ear, Astralwerks, and Six Degrees. Professor Ben Neill is a composer/performer and the creator of the Mutantrumpet, a hybrid electro-acoustic instrument. His active career as a recording and touring artist, curator, and composer for TV and film stretches back to the 1980’s, and he is widely recognized as a musical innovator through his recordings, performances and installations.

After studying the site over many years, Russel Wright hired architect David Leavitt in 1958 to help him realize Dragon Rock, the name given to the House, Studio, and immediate quarry landscape. Leavitt, who had worked in Japan with architect Antonin Raymond, shared Wright’s appreciation of Japanese architecture and landscape design, evident in the House and Studio through scale, structure, intimacy, and details. Wright and his daughter covered a ceiling in his studio with white pine needles. And a large cypress trunk encases a steel support beam in the living room. Over 200 objects tell the story of how the Wrights shaped modern American lifestyle – from early experiments in spun aluminum in the 1930s and the colorful rounded forms of American Modern and Iroquois Casual mix & match dinnerware to Japanese inspired patterns and textures decades later.

Introduced in the late 1930s, the earthy colored mix and match pieces went on to become the best selling dinnerware of all time. 2016Manitoga partners with Open Space Institute to permanently preserve public access to their trail network. Among Wright's most notable and commercially successful designs are his American Modern lines of ceramic dinnerware and furniture and his Residential line of Melmac plastic dinnerware.

The Studio was Russel Wright’s personal space where he slept and worked. It illustrates many of the recurring themes at Manitoga including an integration of the built and natural environment, the influence of Japanese design, the juxtaposition of natural and synthetic materials, and efficiency and functionality. The Wrights met at an arts gathering in the 1920s, held in Woodstock NY, called the Maverick Festival.

Here, we see luminous butterfly wings pressed between sheets of translucent plastic, pine needles embedded in green plaster walls, and a roof covered with a lush carpet of native plants. Celebrate good design for living in creative harmony with nature through tours, programs, and events. Russel Wright domesticated Modernism for generations of Americans and pioneered high art's infusion into commercial design and production. Manitoga, the 75-acre eco-friendly estate he built and lived on in his latter years, survives as a foundation dedicated to preserving his design and environmental philosophies. It's a decidedly human-scale monument to harmony, with both home and studio built right into a rock ledge of the property's quarry.

Wright thought these resembled scoops of strawberry ice cream so he’d host an ice cream social to celebrate the season. Sadly, Mary died in 1952 and never lived in Dragon Rock, although she participated in the home’s design. The Wrights practiced what they preached and Manitoga, the couple’s home and grounds in Garrison NY, is open for touring. It’s about an hour north of NYC, whether you’re driving or taking a MetroNorth train from Grand Central to the heart of the lower Hudson Valley. Preserving, sharing, and celebrating America’s gardens and diverse gardening traditionsfor the education and inspiration of the public.

Once complete, the improvements were immediate yet invisible to visitors. River Architects assisted in generating the initial assessment report funded through grants from the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s Cynthia Mitchell Fund and the New York State Council on the Arts. River Architects designed the conversion of the underutilized garage space into a light-filled entry, workroom, kitchenette, and universally accessible restroom, while also addressing improved air quality and moisture control. His home, studio, and woodland garden - collectively called Manitoga - are located in Garrison, NY. It opened to the public in 2004 and includes Wright’s recreated white Formica desk, his Herman Miller “relax” chair, collectibles from his travels, an ashtray and a signature pack of Salem cigarettes. The public tours are capped at 12 people, so the experience is fairly intimate.

Over the last two decades, a series of restoration projects have addressed the House windows and doors, the installation of a new green roofs, upgrades in mechanical systems and the restoration of the Kitchen-Dining area. Presently, Ann Wright’s enchanting childhood bathroom is being carefully restored among other improvements. The Wrights’ home at Manitoga, Dragon Rock, has many unique design features. Green roofs have many benefits such as absorbing rainwater and providing insulation, but they’re still very rare in 2022. Visitors to Dragon Rock in the 1960s must have thought it was totally weird. If you’re visiting in late spring, the native mountain laurels produce extravagant pink blooms.

Manitoga/The Russel Wright Design Center stewards Manitoga as the embodiment of the Wright’s design philosophy and life work and celebrates good design for living in creative harmony with nature through tours, programs, events, and free year-round access to woodland trails. Distinctive features of the House include large expanses of glass allowing for views of the 30 foot Waterfall, the Quarry Pool, and surrounding landscape. A large, smooth, cedar tree trunk functions as a design element and is the main structural support of house. Boulders, plantings, and stone terraces are positioned to bring the outdoors in, blending architecture and landscape. Unique built-in architectural artifacts, designed by Wright, fuse natural and man-made materials in new and unexpected ways.

The small group size means you’ll need to book in advance to avoid getting shut out. River Architects is assisting in the planning for future improvements to the Russel Wright Design Center which will include a new, separate structure which will include accessible restrooms for the public and a gardener’s workshop. Mid-century designer Russel Wright, who lived from 1904 to 1976, revolutionized the American home through his contribution of inexpensive, mass produced dinnerware, furniture, appliances, and textiles. Distinctive features include a “worm’s eye view” upon entering the space, pocket windows on three sides which, when lowered, meld the indoors with outdoors, and a moon-faced doorknob to the adjoining terrace where Wright would sit and look at the moon. Ceiling treatments are many and include painted epoxy embedded with white pine needles, fluorescent tubes softened by quilted canvas, and illuminated panels.

Misting fans spew water frequently on your dog and lower its body temperature. When the water evaporates, it leaves a cool and refreshing effect on your dog’s body. After installation, do not forget to apply weather stripping to seal any gaps and cracks around the AC unit. Rubber weather stripping can be used to stop cool air from leaking out.

Our favorite heated dog house is the Dog Palace Insulated Dog House, which has robust and eco-friendly insulation, comprehensive heating technology, and good overall habitability. There are also space heaters and heated mats designed just for dogs, which can be easily combined with your dog’s favorite at-home domicile. Some of our favorite dog house makers also offer heating accessories designed to pair perfectly with an existing dog house design. The thermostatically controlled Dog House Air Conditioning AC unit by Akoma is a great solution to cool and dehumidify your pet’s doghouse. This mini air cooler for pets will cool even the largest dog houses in the hottest summertime conditions and protect your furry friend from the harmful effects of summer heat. This is a popular solution for large and medium-sized houses.

Does My Dog’s House Require a Window AC?

A high EER rating means that your AC unit can cool down space quickly while using less energy. Go for high EER ratings when buying AC for a dog house, similar to how you would do for your home. Overweight dogs retain more heat and require cooling accessories to stay comfortable during summers. The same is the case for big breeds, as they have a larger surface area that preserves heat.

Make sure the wires are well secured in a box to prevent your dog from chewing on them. The cooled moves over an evaporator which reduces the amount of moisture in the air. This prevents the air from feeling cold and damp which is uncomfortable. I’ve been using the AROEVE Air Purifier for a few months now and I’m really impressed with it.

Dog Palace Insulated Dog House

In that case, Akoma Heat-N-Breeze is the solution you seek. You’ll have to rig up some kind of adapter to use it at a dog house. Then again, you can keep your pooch cool even while you’re on the road. "I slept really good, it was actually kind of easy today. Something as simple as that can make a lot of difference," Reece said. We are thrilled with the dog house and the assembly was a "piece of cake" as advertised. The dog house is exactly what we expected, and we could not be happier with our choice of suppliers.

It’s recommended to clean the house at least once a week and to inspect the unit for signs of wear and tear. If you notice any issues, address them promptly to prevent further damage. The cost of an AC dog house can vary depending on the unit’s size, type, and features. Portable units can be relatively affordable, while custom-built structures can be more expensive. However, the benefits of providing a comfortable and safe environment for your pet may outweigh the cost for some pet owners. As pet owners, we love to pamper our furry companions and ensure they have the best living conditions.

The front 2 hole were dug back a bit from the front of the frame to allow for a small porch. The treated post were left a bit long to be trimmed later and the frame was elevated, roughly leveled, and fastened to posts. Frame is not very stable at this point, but additional fasteners will be added at wall frame and plywood steps. To make the dog house air conditioner work effectively, you need to insulate it properly.

Well, in truth it’s the only way of getting out of the sun. Dogs are man’s best friend, but sometimes dogs can’t live in the house with their humans. You might love your dog, but certain circumstances may prevent you from being able to allow your dog indoors all the time. Or maybe you just don’t like all the dog hair that gets all over the furniture.

It’s a great spot cooler for big dog houses, and can likely chill an entire small dog house with the strong airflow it creates. This article was written by Winston Cook-Wilson, a freelance writer and product tester for The Spruce Pets. This list was compiled by taking into account reviews from dog owners and the analysis of veterinarians. There are a variety of ways that different types and sizes of houses on the market handle heating, but whatever else is true about them, safety is of preeminent importance.

This modern dog house is relatively easy to build provided that you have the materials complete and appropriate tools available. Your dog will surely love to stay in his new home comfortably and with a sense of style that other dogs will surely envy. To keep your dog(s) safe, the power cord is wrapped in stainless steel spring and chewproof.

It’s really easy to use and it does a great job of filtering the air in my apartment. I have a lot of allergies and the air purifier has really helped to reduce my symptoms. I also like that it has a night mode, so I can use it while I’m sleeping without being disturbed by the noise. I’ve been using the AROEVE Air Purifier for a few weeks now and I’m really impressed with it.

I’m a big fan of the Arctic Air Pure Chill 2.0 Evaporative Air Cooler. It’s the perfect solution for cooling down on a hot day or night. It’s small, lightweight, and portable, so I can easily take it with me from room to room. It also has a built-in LED nightlight with seven fun color options, which is great for creating a relaxing atmosphere. When you're purchasing a dog house with A/C you want to consider energy efficiency. We sell only insulated dog houses, everything else is optional.

As with the other Akoma unit, the energy consumption is low and you get an automatic thermostat that turns the unit off when the air gets warm enough. No need to stress about heating bills turning this affordable unit into a money drain. I would install a safety cage around it so a curious dog won’t burn its sniffer. Second, Diamante is expensive — even before you account for potential installation costs. At least it’s very energy efficient, so your electricity bill shouldn’t go up too much.

The side panels are constructed the same way like the floor panel. You can consider this as a little hut with an impressive artificial turf placed on the porch area. It has a foam padding, nameplate, and a comfortable bedding inside. The entire dog house is lifted off the ground several inches by bamboo feet. If you have a lot of rain, this stilted dog house is the best way to go.

You should also inspect the house for signs of wear and tear, such as cracks or loose fittings, and address any issues promptly. When choosing an air-conditioned dog house, there are several factors to consider. The size of your dog is an important consideration, as you will need to ensure that the house is large enough for your pet to move around comfortably. The type of air conditioning system is also essential, as some units use a traditional air conditioning system while others use evaporative cooling. A comfy pad is probably the most common way to heat a dog house.

We have reviewed the best dog house air conditioners, to make sure your best friends are comfortable in their little homes. Keep your furry babies cool all year long thanks to our selection of best dog house ac units because air conditioning the dog house means keeping your pets safe. As pet owners, we all want to ensure our furry friends are comfortable and safe, especially during extreme weather conditions.

Another development from Titanic compared to modern ships is the use of smaller pleasure boats. High-speed boats, pleasure boats, and fishing boats are sometimes within the inclusive design. Environmental protection stands more critical than ever with the evolution of MARPOL. It means modern cruise ships have continuous monitoring for every emission.

Additional Costs: Amenities, Excursions, and Dining

The Titanic is often called the world’s first cruise ship, but this is inaccurate. Although the Titanic was a large, luxurious ocean liner, it was not designed to provide passengers with a leisurely, relaxing cruise experience. It was used to transport passengers from one port to another most expeditiously and luxuriously as possible. At the same time, modern cruise ships provide passengers a much more leisurely and relaxed voyage experience.

The Titanic Had a Different to Modern Cruise Ships

Passengers today enjoy luxurious accommodations with ample space to relax and unwind during their voyage. Get ready to set sail on a journey through time as we compare the legendary Titanic with the extravagant world of modern cruises. It’s a clash of eras, where opulence meets innovation and luxury collides with convenience.

Titanic Vs. Modern Cruise Ships: Safety Comparison

While in 1912, the race was often to build bigger and bigger ships, that approach is slightly different today. While we are seeing new ships launching every few years that break the record in terms of size, we’re also seeing many cruise lines launching smaller ships. Cruise Hive was established back in 2008 and among the earliest blogs in the industry. Since the start, it's been our aim to provide the latest cruise news covering all the major cruise lines. Modern ships also benefit from sophisticated weather forecasting and GPS navigation, which help avoid dangerous conditions.

And if we look at the Silver Shadow, she is 79 feet wide – around 85% of the width of the Titanic. Other diversions included a pool, promenade, reading/writing room, smoking lounge, and squash court. The “first class” you might be imagining was also far from the plush staterooms available these days. Even though they had up to two bedrooms, a parlor, and an all-important ensuite bathroom (for the very top tier), there were no balconies in any cabin. It was a revolutionary ship, incredibly big for that era and with many features that had not been seen before.

Even it lacked dynamic stabilizers, and that’s why they were not as comfortable as today’s modern cruises. The stabilizers prevent ships from rolling during harsh weather conditions. Today’s cruise ships are essentially resorts on water, with a never-ending supply of things to see and do. For example, the Symphony of the Seas has an aqua theatre, 24 swimming pools, a floating Central Park, 23 eateries, a Flow Rider surfing simulator, waterslides, and much more. The most extensive unsafe practice from the Titanic’s downfall is the lifeboat design and capacity.

Despite its size, the Titanic was not able to withstand the impact of an iceberg, leading to the death of over 1,500 passengers and crew members. Modern cruise ships are built much larger than the Titanic, but their size has little bearing on their speed. The Oasis of the Seas’ cruising speed is only a little higher than the Titanic’s maximum speed at 24.5 knots (45.4 kilometers per hour, 28.2 miles per hour). You know that modern cruises are equipped with advanced technologies, lavish designs, luxurious staterooms, bundles of amenities, entertainment, fun, and much more.

Q7: How do the cabin sizes compare between the Titanic and modern cruise ships?

Here’s a list of just some of the cruise ships that are very similar to the Titanic. Of course, it’s worth remembering that the Titanic had a class system in place, and some of the areas of the ship would be out of bounds to third- and second-class passengers. And conversely, first-class passengers would have avoided the areas where third-class passengers tended to mingle.

Multiple Swimming Pools for All Ages and Purposes

The Boardwalk, located on deck 6 of each ship, is a fun-filled amusement area for the whole family, capturing the ambiance of traditional seaside piers, such as Coney Island and Atlantic City. Passengers are greeted by a full-sized musical carousel, adding to this neighborhood’s wholesome carnival atmosphere. Onboard, there were many restaurants and cafes to serve guests; the famous ones were À la Carte, Café Parisien, and Verandah Café.

But again, there is context to consider as this also includes the smallest ships in the world, of which there are many. And these smaller ships are often designed for very small passenger numbers, meaning they aren’t particularly wide at all. So this is the best way to compare the Titanic to modern ships since it takes into consideration all of the measurements and explains just how much more spacious today’s ships would be.

Plans for the Titanic II included a total weight of only 56,000 GT, with a passenger capacity of 2,435 maximum. The Dining Saloon, on the other hand, was basically the ship’s equivalent of today’s main dining room. Passengers were assigned seating for the length of the voyage and had to show up at specific times in order to eat. Its interior resembled that of a grand hotel, featuring lavish decorations, fine dining areas, and an iconic grand staircase.

Passengers can also enjoy a range of entertainment options, such as Broadway-style shows, live music, and comedy clubs. Moreover, modern cruise ships use advanced technologies such as pod propulsion, which allows them to maneuver more easily and efficiently. These systems use electric motors that are integrated into the ship’s hull, which reduces drag and improves fuel efficiency. A mid-size ship could accommodate 1,500 to 2,499 people, which is what the Titanic would be today if it were compared to today’s cruise ships. Like the Titanic, today’s cruise ships model their cabins after high-end hotels.
