Designed in 2018 by Dorrington Atcheson Architects , this contemporary private residence is located in Queenstown, New Zealand. Description A new build in Queenstown featuring stunning views of The Remarkables and Lake Wakatipu inspired a unique house to complement the setting. A solid mass buried into the ground at basement level provides the functional spaces of the house, garage, laundry, rumpus room and the essential drying room for winter and summer sports. Entry to the house for visitors however is via a sheltered northern courtyard at street level. This is encased in cast insitu walls, allowing only a glimpse of the magnificent views revealed as you enter the house at mid level. The peaks of the top floor roofline follow the contours of the mountain range beyond and provide an intriguing accent. The mid level of the house contains the kitchen and dining areas and also a sunken lounge, perfect for a hot toddy and fondue session in front of the fire after a hard da...

This minimalist villa located in Dénia, Alicante, Spain, has been designed in 2018 by Carles Faus Arquitectura . Description The design of the housing is born focusing on the style of the Ibizan country house, simple clear lines, controlled light and the white colour as starting stroke. The house is dampened by the light of the city of Dénia, located in an environment in which the accent has to be placed only inside, having to divert attention from what surrounds it. When projecting, a rectilinear formality has been followed, without too many deviations from the plans that make up the main axes of the house. A design, where the location of spaces is given, mainly, by the path of light throughout the day. Upon entering, the house receives us with a large opening overlooking to the pool, in the foreground, and towards the Dénia castle on a more diffuse plane. This large opening, with the ability to blur, once opened, the interior-exterior relationship, is framed by a porch...

This mid-century waterfront cabin redesigned by Coates Design Architects is located in Bainbridge Island, Washington. Description This hillside home is 2600 square feet with two bedrooms. Similar to its sibling shoreline home, Seaview Escape, it is done in the Pacific Northwest-style, with wood floors and an expansive two-story glazing allowing a view of the mountains from the upper balcony. Cantilevered wood “floating” stair treads lead to a library overlooking the double-height living and dining space below. Beach glass and nautical light fixtures were chosen for the bathrooms to bring a coastal feel indoors. A stone mass wall with corten panels provides the focal point of the living space, housing a fireplace and media center while providing separation from the master suite. The house is connected to a wooded pathway that leads to the beach. The hillside waterfront property has been in the clients’ family since the 1950s and contains two parcels that used to have a mid...

Villa Iona is one of the few remaining traditional Mykonian Farmhouses called in greek “Horio”. It has been recently redesigned by Mykonos Architects . Description It has been constructed in the middle of the 19th century, together with a small chapel that today is still existing but don’t belong anymore to the same property. The concept of the project really was to renovate the Horio with the less intervention possible, using the building defects, exaggerating the irregularity of the traditional lime plaster and then to introduce only few modern minimalist lines. The layout and the circulation of the old Horio has been kept: each room is independent with each other and their union is made only from the outside. It has a living room, a kitchen, a semi-open dining room and three ensuite bedrooms. The outdoor area is also a small story of the Mykonian Horio. A stone path laying in-between a very unique natural garden leads through a very meticulously built stone arch...

Located in Santa Monica, California, this contemporary two-story house has been designed by Conner & Perry Architects . Description Organic architecture experts Kristopher Conner and James Perry of Conner + Perry Architects were commissioned by a deeply-rooted Los Angeles couple to design a home that seamlessly fits their family and lifestyle, while also showcasing a world-class art collection and effortlessly blending into a beloved section of Santa Monica Canyon. Taking cues from the property’s surrounding Oak and Eucalyptus trees, the firm designed a residence that allows for reflection, openness, and serenity. Key design features include windows that frame the magnificent trees, extended canopy-like, cantilevered eaves, and fully pocketing glass exterior walls that open to a central courtyard to offer the perfect balance of indoor-outdoor living. Every view in the house was designed to captivate with either nature or art. Initial plans by John Lautner protégé...
