Mikkeli Wave House

Taking design cues from boats and airplanes, the Mikkeli Wave House completely reimagines the classic log home. A mixture of wood and steel form a unique curved design. The front elevation is clad in Finnish spruce while the rear opens up to the landscape with a glass facade. Exposed logs and beams are reminiscent of traditional cabin interiors but are modernized with a whitewash. Encased in glass, the main living area opens out to an expansive deck. Overlooking the water, the oversized roof extends over the terrace and hot tub creating a sheltered outdoor space to take in the views.

Casa Hualle

Sited on a grassy plot near the Villarrica volcano in Chile, the Casa Hualle draws inspiration from its active neighbor with a dark timber cladding. The simple volume takes on a geometric silhouette with a folded roofline. Covered in a charcoal-washed verticle siding, the exterior stands out from the rustic landscape while also nodding to the region's vernacular architecture. Inside, washed plywood panels line the interior. The minimal palette acts as a backdrop for strategically placed windows that frame in the dramatic landscape surrounding the property.

Jackson House

Copper, concrete, glass, and timber form this contemporary retreat in Big Sur. Situated at the base of a canyon, the Jackson House sits on a foundation of stilts, appearing to hover over the landscape in an effort to keep the site intact. The structure is comprised of four main volumes, each clad in a different material. They are topped with an oversized butterfly roof that extends out over the structure, creating covered terraces around the perimeter. Aside from private bedrooms, the interior was left mostly open for communal gathers. Corners are fitted with double-height glazing offering a unique outlook to the surrounding canyon views.

Swallowfield Barn

Surrounded by the gardens, orchards, and pastures of a small hobby farm in British Columbia, the Swallowfield Barn reimagines traditional rural outbuildings. The new structure resembles a classic barn with its simple form and vertical timber cladding, while its offset gabled roof gives it a modern appeal. A workshop is housed on the ground floor and also welcomes the resident flocks and herds. Above, a hayloft provides storage for the farm's fodder and also acts as a gathering place for the family to relax and enjoy the fruits of their labor.

19-69 Eau De Parfum

The 19-69 brand was birthed in an effort to bottle counterculture movements from the past. Over the course of two years, the brand went through an exhaustive creative process with artisans in Scandinavia, France, and Italy before launching their fragrances in Paris. Each scent is inspired by an era, culture, or setting and the music and trends that help shape them and brought to life in the names, packaging, and the fragrances themselves.

Oris Movember Edition Watch

The Movember Foundation has been raising money for men's physical and mental health issues since 2003, using the power of community to help spread awareness. Now they're teaming with Swiss watchmaker Oris and Yankees manager Aaron Boone — someone who knows a thing or two about the power of a team — on the Movember Edition watch. Based on Oris' iconic Chronoris model, it has a 39mm stainless steel case and a black dial with rose gold-plated hour and minute hands. It also features an orange second hand, and white indices that come together to create a pleasing vintage feel. An Oris 733 automatic movement powers the timepiece, which arrives on either a brown leather strap with a Movember signature mustache imprint or a stainless steel bracelet. It's packaged in a special presentation box with a leather travel pouch and a more casual red and white NATO fabric strap — a perfect bonus for those who know the importance of getting out and spending time in their community.

Trout Lake House

Posted on an 18-acre plot running along the banks of the White Salmon River, the Trout Lake House takes inspiration from local farm buildings. The home is comprised of four gabled structures with a detached studio in one and the remaining three containing the main house, a workshop, and a carport. Locally milled timber and metal roofing has been weathered and rusted to give the exteriors an agricultural appearance. Inside, a minimal palette of plywood, concrete, and steel make up the modern interior. Designed for an artistic couple — he is a painter and photographer, and she is a textile artist and designer — large bi-fold doors open each unit up to the outdoors, connecting the owners to their subjects.
