Fuchun Boat Rooms

Inspired by the water tribes of the Ming dynasty, the Fuchun Boat Rooms provide a tranquil lakeside stay in rural China. The hut-like rooms are situated on the shoreline, appearing to float over the water like a boat. Each cabin is designed to evoke the ancient culture of boat-living life with an arched timber form. Interiors are completely lined with warm wood planks, aside from a massive skylight above the bed and an end glazed wall. The glass facade leads out to a terrace overlooking the aquatic landscape and giving guests the feeling of drifting down the river.

Planar House

Using a horizontal design and a green roof, the Planar House seamlessly integrates itself into the Brazilian landscape. The home is located in the municipality of Porto Feliz. Made from a pair of stacked concrete slabs separated by a series of pillars, the structure maintains a low profile not to distract from the natural setting. Its flat roof is clad in grass, blending the exterior into the surrounding lawn. The interior is encased in a glass facade. Aside from offering expansive views, the glazing slides open to a poolside terrace transforming the main living area into an open-air pavilion.

63 Wall Street Speakeasy

Fitness centers, valets, swimming pools: high-rise living has its perks, but 63 Wall Street might have them all beat. Along with the usual list of luxury amenities, the complex also comes with its own speakeasy. The residents-only lounge is straight out of the 1920s, drawing from the building's historic heritage with rich wood paneling, original brass chandeliers, and authentic Victorian oil paintings. There's also a mix of modern pieces like the custom-made banquette and bold ceramic tile. The showpiece of the room is the custom-made bar. Crafted from Calacatta Paonazzo marble and antique brass, the piece is the perfect compliment to an Old Fashioned.

Whidbey Retreat

Sited in a grove of second growth cedar on an island in the state of Washington, the Whidbey Retreat is where a pair of artists get inspired. The property is made up of the main house, two artist studios, and a garage. Although surrounded by a rustic landscape, the buildings take on a contrasting industrial presence created by a palette of concrete, galvanized metal, polycarbonate, and bright primary hues. Inside, concrete floors and white walls provide a neutral interior that allows the artwork to shine. Skylights and clerestory windows along the sloped roofline wash the space with natural light while panels of glazing wrap the living areas with views of the forest and nearby meadow.

Casa Zicatela

Solid. Harsh. Unassuming. At least that's what Casa Zicatela is giving on the outside. But beyond its concrete barrier is an intricate network of stone staircases and open-air spaces. Located near the beach in Oaxaca, Mexico, the monolithic structure is made entirely from board-form concrete. Massive steps lead you down to a mini oasis with grassy courtyards woven around pools of water. Rooms are arranged around the central terrace where exposed concrete dominates the palette. Interiors are accessed by folding wooden screens, adding warmth to the otherwise coarse facade. When open, they flood the spaces with natural light while offering views of the coastal sky.

Casa Terra

Surrounded by the mountains of Rio de Janeiro, Casa Terra mimics the rusty colors of the neighboring peaks with its own reddish hue. The home is laid out as a series of irregular interlocking volumes. These units are formed by rows of pigmented concrete extending out from a central walkway. Each pair of perpendicular walls is capped with a glazed facade, forming the individual rooms. Paired with the home's hilltop plot, these glass walls afford extensive views of the landscape while also opening out to multiple terraces. At the heart of the home is the main living area. Its oversized roof creates a massive outdoor veranda which leads to an expansive swimming pool.

Switchback House

The Switchback House brings the 19-century Brooklyn row house to the modern day with a slick new design. As the name implies, the first change is removing the traditional stacked staircase and replacing it with a switchback. The concept then adds a skylight above the new passageway. This updated layout eliminates the former hallways, opening the space and connecting adjacent rooms. It also allows the natural light from above to reach every level of the interior, illuminating the home without any artificial light. The result is a bright and open revision of the historic architecture.
