What more do I really need to say after that title? A castle in Italy? Don’t mind if I do! I will add that the castle dates to 1200 or earlier and is located in Cigognola, a comune in the Province of Pavia. You can read more about it in Architectural Digest Italy.

“The project is conceived holistically as an ecologically sustainable product, coexisting coherently with its omnipresent natural environment. Using locally sourced materials, such as buried Javanese teak, bamboo, and stones from Sumba, was deemed a priority … Every detail is considered so carefully that even the organic vegetables grown in the garden are part of the overall conception.”

Elegant yet casual the house is a series of 5 pavilions filled with the owner’s collection of textiles.  For me, it’s the sinuous infinity pool and that view. I cannot wait until travel restrictions are lifted and we can travel again as the estate is available to rent. Hartland by Bali-based Studio Jencquel.

I absolutely adore this barn conversion, another project by Archer & Buchanan Architecture. The complete renovation of a late 19th century barn was part of a comprehensive property plan encompassing 20 acres formerly owned by Main Line architect Walter Durham (1896-1976). The structure was restored with recycled barn materials, insulated and resided, maintaining the feeling of a barn on the interior. The finished work includes the great room, kitchen, study and bath on the main level and screened porch, play area and wine cellar on the lower level.

I will forever be fascinated by the patina and imperfection of an older home. I spotted this raw, rustic beauty on the website Herz und Blut and immediately fell in love. It is the Mecklenburg-West Pomeranian German home of Susann Probst & Yannic Schon, food stylists and photographers. It is quite minimalist which draws your attention to the beautiful structure (built in 1948). (Photos: Jules Villbrandt)

A weekend getaway to envy: This vacation home in Utah represented a gathering place, a “family camp” where the entire clan could congregate for extended holidays. We partnered with Bob White of Forest Studio and Midway Construction to create a welcoming camp compound to serve the family year-round, from fly fishing in summer to skiing in winter. The kids rooms are lined with beds for inevitable bedtime storytelling and the basement game room is the perfect place to put up your feet after a day in the great outdoors. The departure from a predictable western, reclaimed vibe in favor of a fresh take on mountain style using clean, painted surfaces lead to a home that feels very classic Americana. Designed by M.
