While the cottage is ideal for long summer weekends, a geothermal system that warms the concrete floors makes it an inviting spot in the winters, too. The sofa and table in the living room came from Gus* Modern, and the armchair is Mitchell Gold. The sideboard against the back wall is a vintage piece from the owner’s collection.

“When you’re doing a second home, a lot of the character of the design is defined by what it isn’t,” says architect Greg Howe, as a way of explaining the minimalistic approach that was taken on this Michigan weekend home. “If you think of it as cold, you have to remember, the setting, and accessing nature, is the point.”

A best-selling product at the Dwell Store, the Reclaimed Wood Tree Swing instantly exudes a charming, rustic feel. Each of Peg and Awl’s tree swings is made from olde growth pine that was salvaged from 19th-century homes in Philadelphia. Difficult to find now, olde growth pine is characterized by its visible grain, knots, and thickness, making it a durable and sturdy material—once ideal for flooring, and now perfect for a tree swing. The wood seat is finished with a natural tung oil to maintain the rich color. Each side of the swing includes 25 feet of rope, along with hand-drawn diagram instructions for easy installation. Best used on a thick tree branch, the charming swing is the perfect perch for a summer afternoon.

Residents Loretta Gargan and Catherine Wagner were drawn to the rustic 1930's cottage on a steep lot in Ross, California, but knew they'd need to bring in some professional help to renovate and expand the building. Enter Jonathan Feldman of Feldman Architecture, who frequently hired Gargan, a landscape architect, to design gardens for his residential projects. To bring the structure up to date, Feldman tore down walls, changed the floor plan, and added a kitchen to the historic building—then built a modern addition containing a master bedroom, bath, and a living room. Here's a view of the original building, which Wagner and Gargan affectionately call "the Shack."

The home’s informal dining space has a slightly rustic feel, sporting bronze and wood in the form of a Lindsey Adams Adelman chandelier for Roll & Hill and a table by Terry Dwan, mixed with folk-art touches like the Eames House Birds and a cuckoo clock from Diamantini & Domeniconi. The PK8 chairs from Republic of Fritz Hansen were designed by Poul Kjærlholm and sourced from Kuhl-Linscomb in Houston, Texas.

The 7,000-square-foot two-story Grove Lodge incorporates the use of native stone and natural finishes to help it blend into the scenic landscape of the Mohonk Mountain House property. Interior spaces include hardwood floors and the use of exposed wood throughout. The guest rooms have their own separate drive-up entrances and feature either a stone patio (lower level) or balcony area. All areas are appointed with our rustic rocking chairs for outdoor seating. Eco-friendly features include sustainable building materials, LED lighting, and a geo- thermal heating and cooling system. 250-tons of Shawangunk conglomerate excavated from the site have been recycled into the retaining walls and the stone fireplace.

Berkus has gone through over 1,000 renovations in his career and has learned some key design lessons along the way. “I have such a passion for discovering and reusing vintage building materials and architectural savage,” Berkus says. “In my last home in New York, I found a set of four doorknobs with locks from Belgium in the 1940s and I had iron glass doors installed to work around them. I knew myself to know that the knobs I touched everyday would be something meaningful to me.” Pictured, an enclosed porch in a rundown rustic cabin in Big Bear, California, updated by Lukas Machnik.
