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.

The Impossible Collections

Timeless automotive design. Rolex wristwatches. The artworks of Andy Warhol. Three subjects that vary wildly, yet elicit similarly passionate responses from those who care about them. Assouline's Impossible Collection series recognizes this, providing a thorough, in-depth look at each topic through insightful interviews, powerful prose, and gorgeous imagery. Each hand-bound tome tips the scales at nearly 20 pounds, arrives in a bespoke presentation case, and measures well over two feet wide when opened — demanding a central spot on your coffee table, if not its own dedicated stand.

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.

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.
