A complex storm is bringing a mix of rain and snow to southern New England, with varying snowfall totals expected from the coast to higher elevations. Lack of cold air over the region will make accumulating snow difficult, especially along the coast where temperatures are in the mid-30s. Low pressure intensifying south of New England overnight will bring slightly colder air, changing mixed precipitation to snow and potentially affecting Monday morning commute. Higher elevations could see 6-8"+ of snow, while coastal areas may see 2-3". Winds will increase along the coast, with colder temperatures expected on Tuesday.
Bower Architecture has designed a single-story L-shaped descending plan house, Coastal Court, in Victoria, Australia, that prioritizes accessibility and low maintenance to allow aging in place. The linear plan acts as a protective edge to the two exposed street frontages, informally defining a large private internally focused courtyard. The home achieves a seven-star energy rating and the design performs well passively in terms of light, temperature control, and natural ventilation. The unique ramping design and consideration of mobility and ergonomics for aging in place allow the house to be a long-term home, achieving sustainability in its longevity.
