Vancouver Island’s Rewild Homes has introduced the Dove, a single-storey tiny house that breaks away from conventional dimensions to offer full-time residents a more spacious living experience.

Most cutting-edge science happens in anonymous lab buildings that could be anything from offices to data centers. Fields like protein folding, which quietly underpin medicine and biotech, rarely get a public face.

When I realized that the Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone movie is turning 25 this year, I really felt my bones creak.
