Bamboo has been in use across tropical regions of the world for tens of thousands of years. In fact, there are islands and entire continents that were once first reached by bamboo rafts. With over 1,450 species of bamboo grass growing throughout the world, hundreds are found in Indonesia alone. So it’s only natural that […]
Some art stops you in your tracks. That was the case with these murals by Sonia Cucculelli, which we discovered on the walls of Dai Nonni, the apartment she inherited from her grandparents in Lecce, Italy. Sonia is a professional illustrator, a graduate of the Accademia dell’Illustrazione e Comunicazione Visiva, and loves animated drawings, the […]
Little known and regrettably short lived, the wildly cool Holiday House travel trailer was a thing of beauty and revolutionary design, and no doubt the source of many happy (and stylish!) road trips. The brainchild of the founder of Harry and David mail order catalogues, Holiday House trailers were a lark; a grass roots, off-season […]
We are always looking for hidden gems and are big fans of mid-century architecture. So when we were approached by Paul Finegold about a collection of apartments by architect R.M. Schindler that he was restoring in Silver Lake, near Downtown Los Angeles, we were excited to find out more. Manola Court was designed by Schindler […]
Solitude is the opposite of being alone, or lonely. Solitude connects us to something larger than ourselves. There’s nothing that says solitude quite like a cozy home nestled in its own valley surrounded by the red rock of Southwest Utah. And no one knows solitude better than someone who once took a 72-day solo canoe […]

Trullo Nostrano in Italy’s breathtaking Valle D’Itria was restored and redesigned by two artists, Puglia native Walter Trento and Ukrainian import Nadiya Yamnych — embracing the imperfections of the original conical and cave-like structures, while adding an abundance of creative touches.

No, your eyes are not deceiving you–this is real! A secluded Grecian island in complete privacy encircled by the crystal clear Aegean Sea.

Meet Emily and Seth Britt, owners of the Box Hop, a shipping container home that’s making waves just outside Columbus, Ohio. An imaginative design using three containers (two to form the base, one across the top), it’s pushing the boundaries of what a container home can look like and creating a real buzz on social […]

Meet Sandra Tuchscherer and Simon Filler, an art director and an architect based in Hamburg but with a deep connection to Italy. And meet Casa Francese, their risk. The story of Casa Francese is one of two nomads […]
There’s an old rule of design everyone must follow: if you have an opportunity for a trapdoor, you take it! Take Giovanni Settesoldi of Umamma in Tuscany for example. When designing this unique escape in the Italian hills, he couldn’t help but incorporate a hidden gem into the house, and a trapdoor leading to the […]

CLIFFSIDE SUITES, IMEROVIGLI, SANTORINI, GREECE It’s no wonder Santorini is […]
The Chambourcin Cottage is a bright, contemporary one-bedroom cottage set among vineyards on the North Island of New Zealand. The cottage was built in 1975 by architect Steve McGavock for his parents, but was recently renovated by interior design team Bibby+Brady. The print in the living room caught our eye, and we knew we had to find […]
Sueno Sagrado in the Mojave enclave of Pioneertown, California, is owned and operated by Bryan Crawford, a Missouri-born jack of all trades now based in Los Angeles.

Approaching a destination by boat has always been one of our favorite experiences. On our last trip to the Isle of Beauty, we decided to take the Corsica ferry from Marseille to Bastia. We highly recommend approaching this wonderful island this way. The boat left Marseille at 7pm, just enough daylight to enjoy the vanishing […]
