An outdoor shower set in the timber-clad walkway offers another way for the homeowners and their guests to connect with nature, and an easy way to rinse off after swimming.

The Texas midcentury has a conversation pit near the fireplace, just like Weese’s design.

The interiors of the East Texas lookalike aren’t an exact replica of the Weese House and Studio; elements like the fireplace and catwalk were made using different materials.

After Mellanie Silva bought this Texas midcentury, she learned its design might be based off a home 20th-century architect Harry Weese designed for his family. But there’s no official record to prove it.

When the pandemic drove Janne Tuunanen to return to Jyväskylä, he discovered a newfound appreciation for the legendary architect’s early projects.

During his stay, Cooper was most fascinated by Richard Neutra’s personal library. As a newfound preservationist, he’s taken the lead to digitize the book collection, which has never been done.

Leveraging hip-hop and hype culture, the talent booker–turned–preservationist Jerald Cooper angles to get more Black people engaged with, and influencing, design.

Meals aren’t included in my stay and nearby dining options are limited without a car, however Terrestre’s on-site restaurant serves three meals per day.

The furniture inside the villas is custom-designed by Mexican architect Oscar Hagerman.

Like many places in Mexico, you can’t drink the tap water at Terrestre. The villas come equipped with two glass pitchers of water. In the evening, staff come by with water jugs to refill the pitchers. The mini-bar is stocked with several bottles of water, snacks, and other drinks, but I appreciate the plastic-free, complementary solution.

The rooms all come with a wireless speaker, but lying on my crisp sheets with the terrace doors wide open, I prefer the gentle environmental sounds than one of my tired Spotify playlists.

The bold use of color in the kitchen echoes the bright palette found in other rooms in the home, glimpses of which can be seen from the dining area.
