BEACH HOUSES BY ANDREW GELLER: ARCHITECT OF HAPPINESS

The Geodesic dome is one of those structural forms that stops you in your tracks. A half sphere made up of triangles and polygons (made popular by 20th-century architect R. Buckminster Fuller), it’s not only an extremely efficient architectural device, but it also has a cool, otherworldly feel. All at once, it transports you back in […]

Rescued from ruin by architect Anna Noguera, Girona Townhouse in Spain highlights the ancient beauty of the 16th-century townhouse with a skillful and subtle restoration.

A garage in Trastevere, Rome, which is now a gorgeous loft. This is not an Italian movie story but reality, thanks to the taste and imagination of Ginevra Petrone.
