Casa RF anchors a new country house in Salve, Italy, where the Ionian breeze meets dry-stone walls. Designed by Valentina Soncini, the home reimagines the traditional Liama Salentina as a calm retreat for an owner who returns south whenever she can. Earthy interiors, a pool edged in local stone, and a pergola aimed toward sunset turn this rural plot of former olive fields into an easygoing Mediterranean escape.

Here, domestic rituals, studio life, and collaborative craftsmanship intersect in rooms that balance Old Milan character with a contemporary, experimental edge.

Guests move between glass-wrapped lounges, generous terraces, and rich stone-lined baths that keep the mountain village of San Cassiano always in view.

Continuous white surfaces and precise volumes underline a calm, contemporary character rooted in clarity rather than excess.

Every room orients toward making, resting, or watching the seasons change across the layered landscape.

Wenatchee River Cabin stands lightly above the floodplain in Wenatchee, WA, United States, a compact retreat shaped by Wittman Estes for one dedicated outdoor enthusiast.

Simple forms, durable materials, and a clear program keep the focus on lived experience rather than show.
