VILLA CAYOLA, TALMONT-SAINT-HILAIRE, FRANCE

Designed by Paris-based architect Philippe Rizzotti, this BoutiqueHome is constructed entirely of birch plywood. Soft and understated, its incandescent rooms and cool corridors beg to be explored.

MASSERIA MOROSETA, PUGLIA, ITALY

We love the color white for being the most dramatic backdrop for lines and shadows. Sculpted of sandstone and envisioned by the mind of designer Andrew Trotter, this home is surrounded by an olive grove, and the contrast is a visual triumph.

SV. JAKOV, ISLAND OF LOSINJ, CROATIA

Over 100 years old, this country villa sits among olive groves and lush Mediterranean gardens; inside, polished concrete plays with patterns galore. Case in point: this blocky, glossy ascender that’s perfectly complemented by the geometric bench below.

GIRONA TOWNHOUSE, GIRONA, SPAIN

This five-bedroom residence was preserved and modernized with great care and attention to detail. The richness of its materials – traditional stone, oak and terra cotta – and the drama that unfolds from floor to floor make it an architectural layer cake worth experiencing.

DUAS PORTAS, PORTO, PORTUGAL

Often used in film to depict the move into another dimension, the aerial shot of a spiral staircase is one of our favorite directing moves. Like cinema come to life, be inspired in this green-inflected dream of a luxury hotel in Portugal.

SKINNY HOUSE, PORTO, PORTUGAL

Architect César Machado Moreira has transformed a three-level, 19th-century townhouse in Portugal into a simple and clean space. Each artful staircase carries you to the summit: a stunning rooftop terrace with views of the river.
