While researching a book about Venice, writer Robert Landon met architect Martino Pietropoli, who took him to see the twin houses he designed for a pair of families in Padua, featured on. His most memorable experience visiting the property was “stepping out onto a rooftop veranda and discovering a gorgeous, green roof,” he says. “The architects purposely failed to mention it, so as to preserve the element of surprise.” Based in New York City, Landon has written about architecture and travel for Metropolis, the Los Angeles Times, and Lonely Planet. 

What does your dream home look like?

“Full of windows, boasts a huge terrace, and sits steps from great, cheap restaurants.”

Untamed. Raw. “The Last Frontier.” Alaska is synonymous with wild beauty and its landscapes demand respect. Here, simple comforts feel like luxuries. The Sheldon Chalet sits on a lonely outcropping, a 5-acre [20,000-square-meter] nunatak in the Don Sheldon Amphitheater of Denali’s Ruth Glacier. As one of the most remote guest-houses in the world—accessible only by bush plane, or on foot by the very bravest of mountaineers willing to risk their lives—the chalet offers views and an experience like no other. Just south of the chalet, on the same outcropping, is the Historic Mountain House, a small hut built in 1966. It’s perched at an elevation of 6,000 feet [1,830 meters], a short distance from the summit of Denali, in the middle of the 6-million-acre [24,280-square-kilometer] park. Because of this extreme setting, the original owner, Roberta Sheldon, used to ask guests if they were “physically fit and mentally flexible” before they made the journey to the hut. Roberta and her husband, Don Sheldon, a pioneering bush pilot, originally acquired the land in the 1950s as part of the Homestead Act. The couple built the Historic Mountain House and also planned to build a vacation destination on the property, but were unable to realize the dream before Don passed away in 1975. When the couple’s children acquired the hut in 2014, they discovered the original 1968 plans for the chalet and, using those plans as a guide, they were able to realize their parents’ dream. With remoteness and accessibility a consideration, all the materials for the chalet and sauna had to be flown in by plane or hung by a sling and helicoptered in. A stunning accomplishment, the five-bedroom chalet and cedar-lined sauna are a well-earned place to watch a solar storm, witnessing the purples, blues, and greens of the aurora with the naked eye. Located 63º north of the equator, the chalet is designed to endure 100ºF [56ºC] temperature swings, hurricane-force winds, and the incredibly brutal Alaskan climate.

Ninety-five miles [153 kilometers] north of the Arctic Circle, with craggy peaks, open seas, and sheltered bays, sits the dramatic, remote, and lonely archipelago of Lofoten. With an imposing beauty, the islands are part of the Scandinavian Caledonides, a mountain range that stretches from northern Norway all the way to the south, and comprises six principal islands and hundreds of smaller, unpopulated ones. A dominating presence, especially when approached by sea, the islands’ sheer cliffs and clear waters have been called home by humans—from Vikings to local fishermen—for thousands of years. Lofoten’s history is rooted in fishing traditions: The migrating Atlantic cod, or skrei, that come to the islands to spawn between February and March have been providing a living for the local people for centuries. Charming, idyllic, and positioned at the top of the world, the islands bask in the glow of the northern lights and the midnight sun, with the perpetual smell of salt air and drying fish. It’s home to galleries, artisans, craftspeople, and communities conscious of preserving and honoring their traditions. Within this landscape sits The Bands, a seaside sauna built on a quay in the former fishing village of Kleivan. The sauna was commissioned by the local district to tie together the old with the new, incorporating three historical pre-existing buildings—a fisherman’s cottage (Rorbu), a cod liver oil–production building (Trandamperi), and a cod-salting building (Brygge)—with a new structure. A team of students from the Oslo School of Architecture and Design’s Scarcity and Creativity Studio conceptualized and oversaw The Bands’s four-week construction. Evoking the rocks below and waves nearby, The Bands gets its name from three ribbon-like, connected wooden bands that echo the angular landscape. Each band folds to form the 969-square-foot [90-square-meter] structure, made up of several outdoor areas. To the north, the bands emerge from the rocks, offering a hot tub and a cold tub as well as a rest area. Built sensitively within the surrounding environment, the light-filled, 161-square-foot [15-square-meter] sauna features clerestory windows made from translucent plastic and a gabled wall with windows looking out on the nearby mountains. As the bands bend and fold, they continue to form a fish-cleaning station, a picnic terrace, and many places to lounge and rest.
Ninety-five miles [153 kilometers] north of the Arctic Circle, with craggy peaks, open seas, and sheltered bays, sits the dramatic, remote, and lonely archipelago of Lofoten. With an imposing beauty, the islands are part of the Scandinavian Caledonides, a mountain range that stretches from northern Norway all the way to the south, and comprises six principal islands and hundreds of smaller, unpopulated ones. A dominating presence, especially when approached by sea, the islands’ sheer cliffs and clear waters have been called home by humans—from Vikings to local fishermen—for thousands of years. Lofoten’s history is rooted in fishing traditions: The migrating Atlantic cod, or skrei, that come to the islands to spawn between February and March have been providing a living for the local people for centuries.
