CCY Architects have designed a home in the Rocky Mountains that couldn’t be closer to nature – in the truest sense of the word. Because DNA Alpine contains the genetic information of the trees.
The Italian studio MAB Arquitectura has restored an early twentieth-century aristocratic residence surrounded by terraces tiled in blue majolica, featuring large windows and finely decorated ceilings, mixing its original details with contemporary uses and functions.
The northern Spanish wine region of La Rioja already has enough spectacular star architect buildings. The winegrowers at Bodegas LAN are striking a softer note. Their new El Cortijo pavilion theatrically sets the scene for the landscape.
The Quincha House by local architecture firm Base Studio is being built in the centre of Chile. With recourse to tried-and-tested construction methods and futuristic design, a house is being built that blends harmoniously into its environment while conserving resources.
With the Liminal House in West Vancouver, McLeod Bovell has created more than just a detached house. He created a symbol of being neither here nor there. A symbol that goes completely against the traditional idea of living and its architecture.
A house that spans the forest floor at a height of five metres? What sounds less like a home and more like a suspension bridge was modelled on one. The Bridge House by architecture firm LLAMA lives up to its name.
The Belgian city of Antwerp will soon benefit from a Japanese-inspired, timber-hybrid residential tower that is currently under construction. The building was designed by Pritzker Prize winner Shigeru Ban, who takes nature and wood as central inspiration for his designs.
A library has emerged on the east coast of Japan that is not only profound in terms of its book collection, but also its location. The Library in the Earth is located underground and conceals a spectacular wooden dome.
The luxury fashion brand Jacquemus has come up with a unique concept for four of its stores in collaboration with AMO, OMA’s sister company. A concept that ensures that the stores could not be more different and at the same time more similar.
The expanded US airport in Portland now boasts a gigantic wooden roof, in which its own forest grows. ZGF Architects were able to preserve most of the existing building and serve the common good by transforming the supply chain.
After over a decade of travel, study and creative collaboration with Japan, Norm Architects’ shares their uniquely Scandinavian view of Japanese aesthetics.
Seegut Zeppelin is a special place: one with history, one with unspoilt nature, one of the few with access to Lake Constance, one that elegantly combines the past and the modern, one that is treated with respect. The Seegut Zeppelin is a place whose charm reveals itself without loud words, it simply rests within itself. The Fennel family has captured the genius loci of Seegut Zeppelin and, with the help of Plösser Architekten and interior design studio Linie Zweii, has created a breathtaking retreat.
The next stage in the ambitious Red Sea Project is set to become a reality: the natural hotel resort Ummahat 9-3 by Japanese star architect Kengo Kuma. The exclusive villas with adjoining café and restaurant will open in 2024. Saudi Arabia’s entire tourism project promises responsible high-end tourism.
