Our journey begins in Brazil with the weekend home designed in São Paulo by spbr arquitectos and the project by Perkins + Will Architecture for a house built around a fixed natural point: a flamboyant tree in a large garden. Still in Brazil, en route from São Paulo to Rio de Janeiro, in the endless valleys of Catacuba is a holiday home that expresses all the atmosphere of its location, designed by studio mk27 and Marcio Kogan. In Sydney, architect Luigi Rosselli has designed for the restoration of a residential building in Federation Queen Anne style, a veranda with various possibilities of configuration and levels of permeability between the interior and exterior.
In Europe, art and nature are the fundamental elements of the interior design of a villa by Studio Marco Piva with local architects EGO Architecture of Egest Goxhaj & Partners. The relationship with the landscape, including vineyards and a valley, is the feature of “Quiet House” designed in a village in Southern France by architects Nadine Chambon Fayard and Laurent Fayard of Artelabo. A project where the interior and exterior is continually in tension is Casa Cabo de Vila by the Spaceworkers studio. We end with a research project by Snøhettastudio, which references the Gapahuk, a traditional Norwegian hut.
