Whether they have their own private terrace on the lower level or balconies at the top, they all have an unrestricted view of the Tegernsee and the surrounding mountains. The exposed rooms and the floor-to-ceiling windows, in combination with high ceilings, additionally reinforce the spatial effect.

On the upper floor, all the rooms are completely covered in spruce, in the style of the unique character of the alpine wooden chalets. The ceiling of the rooms and suites on the ground floor are also clad with wood.

The architects’ main intention was to incorporate the steep slope of the lot and the native flora of the hill into the architectural design. The property is located a mere 300 meters away from the sea, and is perched atop a hill, which means it enjoys stunning views over the ocean, as well as a refreshing seaside breeze. Being in such a perfect location was a privilege the architects wished to exploit to the utmost. As such, the home is intended to be a continuation of the landscape, so that the views can be enjoyed to the fullest.

Spacious terraces with sea views
Gardens on the rooftop of the residence

Natural elements, such as green vegetation, pebbles, and stone surfaces, were used throughout the home in order to emphasize the connection to the landscape. The home is also pierced by numerous windows and balconies that allow an easy rapport between indoor and outdoor. In so doing, the home practically disappears into the landscape, only to reappear as a magnificent extension of it.

Apartment Portugal, a stylish apartment located in São Paulo, Brazil, was designed in 2017 by Gabriel de Lucca from the architectural firm GDL Arquitetura. It covers a total ground area of 140 square meters, and was designed for a family who required integrated spaces. The architectural firm sought to create a large and fluid space that would take advantage of the natural lighting conditions the apartment enjoys by eliminating partitions and uniting all the individual rooms to form a spacious whole.

Corridor with beautiful wooden floors

Bespoke furnishings populate all spaces, existing in complete harmony alongside other pieces of furniture, both from contemporary and vintage origins. Sober and neutral tones, as well as surfaces covered in wood, come together to create a single space that feels united and cozy. The light from above falls softly upon all surfaces, as it hits them indirectly, and creates a comfortable atmosphere that anybody could call home.

Living-dining-kitchen open area, full of natural light

The color palette used is based on earthy, neutral tones, maintaining an air of peace and serenity throughout the space. Sparse decorative accessories add personality to the rooms without taking away from this minimalistic quality, giving it the perfect balance between stylish and cozy. The dining room, with its vertical garden on one of its walls, looks out into the city, providing guests and residents alike stunning views.

Camilo House is a spacious private residence located in Parral, a city and commune in the Linares Province of Chile’s Maule Region, 350 kilometers south of Santiago. The home was designed by the architect Ignacio Correa for a family of farmers in the year 2016, and covers a total ground area of 340 square meters, or 3,679 square feet.

Wooden house surrounded by nature

The home sits in a plot of land in the middle of the countryside and which is occupied by no other homes, so that it is surrounded by nature in its purest state – lush forests and vast expanses of mossy green grass. The owners wished for the home to be an architectural and design representation of the surrounding landscape and culture of this area of southern Chile.

View of the construction made of wood
Side view of wooden house surrounded by green fields

The buildings’ exterior walls, clad in raw wood, are an expression of this idea, directly connecting the structure with the surrounding landscape. Wooden surfaces, including floors, walls, and ceiling, are also present in the interior, blending the boundary between indoor and outdoor, and bringing that connection to nature into the interior of the home. Clear glass walls look out into the green expanse, further facilitating this discourse, as well as allowing natural light to seep into the interior.

Blue House is a contemporary home located in Dartmouth Park, a district in north London, England, United Kingdom. It was designed by the Notting Hill based architectural firm De Rosee Sa, and completed in 2015. The property covers a total ground area of nearly 170 square meters, or over 1,800 square feet.

Exterior facade of aged bricks with glass doors

The clients had previously resided in the upper maisonette of this house, and when their downstairs neighbors decided to leave, they completed the purchase of the ground floor, greatly increasing the ground area of their home. To help unite the two spaces, they enlisted De Rosee Sa, and to return it to its original function as a three storey townhouse.

Exterior facade of bricks with closed glass door
Details of aged brick wall
Small garden with walls of brick and wood

The first challenge the architectural firm tackled was increasing the proportions of the interior spaces in order to give the house an enhanced sense of space and grandeur. In order to do this, the low floor to ceiling height of the first floor was modified, in order to increase the spaces and give the rooms more luminosity.

The interior décor is done in a muted color palette consisting of different shades of gray against rich wooden floors. Some darker pieces add touches of contrast, such as the fireplace in the living room and a dark wooden table in the bedroom, making the spaces feel more dynamic.
