If privacy is ever needed in the LifeEdited 2 guest room/office, pulling the Hufcor accordion door closed certainly does the trick. Usually used in institutional settings, Hufcor doors are designed with ceiling tracks and wall fixtures to ensure the...

Graham’s proudest match making moment has come full circle with the addition of the Edyn Garden Sensor in the LifeEdited 2 apartment. In 2013, Yves Behar, founder and principal designer of Fuseproject, an award-winning industrial design and brand...

One of the coziest aspects of the LifeEdited 2 living room/bedroom/dining area is its 100% biodegradable 

Insteon has made the LifeEdited 2 apartment truly efficient. With their Insteon Wall Switches and Keypad we can control, customize, and even schedule our 

The LifeEdited 2 home office / guest bedroom is a classic in space efficiency. Apartment dwellers can work at a large stand-up desk with a 34-inch screen and two guests can sleep comfortably, all in one room that is just a bit bigger than a...

For most of the countertops and surfaces in LifeEdited 2, LifeEdited chose

We all want to listen to music and watch movies, but we don?t want the technology to get in our way. Thus for LifeEdited 2, we deployed a very capable but very simple system. Our needs: Play music from Spotify Play movies from Netflix &...

Thanks to Kohler, LifeEdited 2’s bathroom is beautiful and eco-friendly. Our favorite feature is the brushed nickel Purist Showerhead and Veil Toilet, which saves up to 12″ of bathroom space (and has a bidet!), adds to the LifeEdited 2...

The light bulb market in America is ever-changing and complicated due to shifting regulations. Even though the U.S. Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 sought to enforce the phase-out of incandescent lightbulbs, setting standards which LED...

LifeEdited 2 (LE2) is a prototype for apartments in future LifeEdited buildings. It allows dwellers to live a big, happy, smart, green, and simplified life in a 350 sft apartment that functions like one twice its size. You may have already seen it...

While Europeans are no strangers to communal, urban living, evidenced by things like Baugruppen, the phenomenon is still pretty rare in North America. Cohousing, the most established form or communal living this side of the pond, tends to be located...

One of the biggest demerits of suburban living is how they can have an isolating effect on people who live in them. When most suburbanites leave home, they enter a car that?s usually in an enclosed garage where you often drive to another garage at...

We?ve explored bicycle towed trailers in the past. In particular, the Wide Path Camper seemed like a nice execution of the idea. But as a number of readers noted, it had a couple big liabilities. First, was its weight of 100 lbs. While this is a...
