Architecture | Getaways

Richard Woods

With the last days of summer ahead, why not spend some time lounging in a patterned retreat in the woods. Here are a few of our favorite getaways that are sure to bring some element of relaxation, as well as inspiration.

Mirrorcube | Tree Hotel

Concrete Pod House | Kazuya Morita

Bird's Nest | Tree Hotel

Olympic Architecture

Shooting Venue London Olympics | Magma Architecture

The Olympics are finally here! We love the modern, sustainable tents created by London/Berlin based architecture studio, Magma Architecture. More than just a decorative treatment, the spheres act as a functional part of the design giving it ventilation as well as entrances/exits.

The Matchbox House

Located in Estonia and designed by Arhitektid Muru & Pere, the Suurupi House Extension brings clever patterning into the exterior architecture of a previously box shaped home. Wooden panels criss-cross to form a textural layer that shimmers with light at night.
