The lush courtyard of a home set in Savannah's Historic District.
Outside, an oval concrete patio echoes the ceiling’s curve. The Hopper table is by Extremis.
The seamless integration of the outdoors is perhaps best sensed via this image. The kitchen opens to a terrace with views straight through to the pool area on the other side allowing for cross-breezes and indoor/outdoor living.
The pool area also features an outdoor kitchen.

The roof terrace offers an outdoor lounge space, as well as views into the Seattle hills.

Hitting the right combination of real estate ingredients; view, space, light, and pool, the house fit perfectly in the Casa plan.
Imagine waking up in a room with a stunning view, eating your breakfast on a terrace, walking to a secluded beach for a short dip in the ocean, then drinking wine near a private pool while watching the sunset. That is exactly what Casa Tiny offers to its guests, who can now rent it through Boutique Homes. The cozy house is located on the Oaxaca Coast in Mexico near Casa Wabi, an artists’ retreat founded by Mexican artist Bosco Sodi.
The layout of the three buildings creates a private garden space within the site.
The kitchen bar counter extends out to the patio, creating a great space for entertaining.

Gloster’s wood can always be traced back to its origin, and the company only harvests teak that it has planted. The Raw Split Dining table with a contoured edge by Pedersen is a contemporary, unfinished, minimalist design with a strong emphasis on the materiality. A close-grained hardwood with a high natural oil content, teak is exceptionally hard wearing, highly resistant to rotting, and almost impervious to the effects of sun, rain, or snow.
Inspired by teak decking, and echoing the craftsmanship and design of the Tea Clippers that opened trade routes around the world, Pedersen clearly references his inspiration, using generous deck-like slats, finely tapered legs that hint at a ship’s mast—even giving the table a hull-like edge. The Clipper collection is simultaneously a nod to a nautical past, as well as a new take on al fresco dining.
With classic good looks, the collection stands out in any space.
The Danish designer explains, “Loop is Loop for so for many reasons—it represents a circle in design, it looks back at styles that have come before, but it is also moving on. Additionally, the materials are designed in a loop.”
Beckmann and Trowbridge are the co-owners of this resort-style property, which they started working on eight years ago. They describe their unique architectural project as a "micro-resort—a hybrid between luxury rental and boutique hotel."

The Pavilion has plenty of cozy seating, a cast concrete fireplace, and a sound system.
Villa Vals is subtly out carved from an alpine slope in Vals, Switzerland. The unique design by SeARCH and Christian Müller Architects provides both a comfortably sized patio, and stunning mountain views while remaining visually unobtrusive in the pastoral landscape. Photo by Iwan Baan.
This pergola-covered seating area, complete with hanging chairs, is off the living room.
The tree seems to lean into the highly transparent living room, to become part of the space.

Located in Rutherford, California, Quintessa Winery has a longstanding commitment to creating modern architecture that complements rather than competes with the landscape. When the Huneeus family sought to add three pavilions for private wine tastings to the estate, they wanted the structures to offer protection from the sun, wind, and heat without imposing on the land or coming between the visitor and the vineyard. Greg Warner, Principal/Owner, LEED AP, and Michael McCabe, Associate Principal, LEED AP, from Walker Warner Architects worked on the project. "Our response was a series of three 250-square-foot open air roofed structures, set amid the oak forest on a ridge-line overlooking the rolling vineyard-covered hills and the lake beyond," they say. "The clean, modern lines and visual simplicity of the pavilions serve as a backdrop to the tasting experience and as a frame to the landscape beyond while also sheltering visitors from the elements." Lutkso Associates served as the landscape architects for the pavilions.
Abernathy House
Lung Hagem Arkitekter said: "The roof is executed in 270mm thick reinforced concrete with 20mm VIP insulation underneath. The concrete itself is water resistant, thus no additional roofing materials are required. As a result, the roof is a smooth white surface creating a dialogue with the rocky landscape, and giving the cabin its distinctive character."
The magnificent grounds provide ideal views of LA beyond.
The cantilevered roofs and trim have been carefully painted and restored. Large windows blend the exterior terrace with the inside living space.
The nearly 100 year-old Victorian farmhouse clearly had good bones, but over the years unfortunate facelifts and additions had left it somewhat listless as well as thermally challenged in both summer and winter. The design team approached the project with the sensibility that the original Victorian had a certain charm and should remain essentially unchanged, but that the renovated kitchen and dining room addition should have an open ‘Zen’ feeling through a connection to the surrounding garden.

The west patio opens up to a grass area that can be enjoyed by many.
Behind her is the greenhouse, where Lynn starts vegetables like lettuce, Swiss chard, and tomatoes. Landscape architect David Hocker defined the sunken fire pit area with Cor-Ten steel.
Owner Dave McAdam started Blue Sky Building Systems, whose steel-frame system easily adapts to sloped lots, before founding Homestead Modern, whose pre-designed homes can be built nearly anywhere for a set price. Above, a shaded patio off the main house enjoys access to a fire pit and a grill.
