Most popular project on Dezeen in 2017, the starburst house nestles into the Californian desert.
Our Starburst House in Joshua Tree, California, has received attention like no other. From CNN and Forbes to Der Spiegel it has been in hundreds of publications and seen by millions. The idea of the Starburst House started as an office building in Germany . In 2017 a film producer in LA came across Hechingen Studio and asked if we could design something similar on his land in Joshua Tree.

Retool▲640Hi all, founder @ Retool here. We initially launched Retool on HN five years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14515494. The feedback was extraordinarily helpful then (e.g. we launched source control, on-prem, etc. based on HN comments), and we’re grateful for all of it.
