It’s Getting Hot in Here … I was somewhere in my forties when I told my doctor at my annual checkup that I felt very hot sometimes. … “It’s not hot flashes,” I assured her. “I just get really hot.” … Fast forward twelve months to my next annual checkup.

When our days become overrun with memes, caffeine overloads, and the constant buzzing of our smart devices, there often comes an unexpected turning point for many of us to refocus.

When you think about 1970s architecture, it is possible you imagine drab colors or maybe even the heaviness of multiple shades of brown. You probably envision a look with low horizontal lines and an overall mundane style.
