Nestled beside Rio de Janeiro’s Tijuca National Park, this 1,500-square-foot haven is a sleek steel-and-glass sanctuary supported by two concrete piers. Sitting high in the rainforest, it offers seclusion for its owners to commune with nature, seamlessly blending into the wild tropical landscape. The northern end houses a single bedroom while the south unveils vistas of the city, sea and Christ the Redeemer. Below, a screened porch and open-air kitchenette allow interaction with the surroundings. It’s all about durability, functionality and regional aesthetics amidst Rio’s humid climate. Rio House by Olson Kundig.

There’s something about a modern wood cabin that continues to tug at my heart strings. In Halfmoon Bay, British Columbia, this contemporary cottage designed and owned by Frits de Vries Architects + Associates sits amongst the trees and along the Georgia Strait and is quite a sight. You would never know this home is only 1,450 square feet. Cedar, concrete, Douglas fir and floor to ceiling windows really set the stage for this cabin in the forest. So calming and peaceful.
“This 100-acre working farm is tucked against the Luberon mountains in southern France. Surrounded by vineyards and olive groves, Ken Fulk repaired the 17th-century farmhouse and revitalized the grand potager, bringing the property up to date as a peaceful getaway for long family vacations.
Each room in the main house, which includes the former bergerie (now a dining room), a wine cave, two kitchens, living rooms, a library and eight bedrooms, has been furnished with a transportive mix of antique and modern pieces. Additional guest quarters were added in the former barn, along with a caretaker’s studio, a modern gym and a fully outfitted hammam. Lavender-hued tennis courts, a folly-like greenhouse, and a well-equipped outdoor kitchen complete the estate.”
A girl can dream can’t she? A perfect escape to Provence recreated by the maestro Ken Fulk.
Nestled amid umbrella pine, this villa in Cap Bénat reigns over the sea from a 45-meter-high rocky promontory. Originally designed in 1971 by André Lefèvre and Jean Aubert, the house has been extended recently by Atelier du Pont. The house’s horizontal design integrates with the landscape, featuring terraces akin to layered retaining walls cascading towards the sea. The new extension harmoniously complements the existing stone structure, extending seamlessly into terraces overlooking the ocean while the new infinity pool merges with the horizon.
