Argentinian studio Estudio Palacios balanced their recently completed Casa en Piedras in Córdoba with two levels set into the hilly terrain. Clad in corten steel and black Portoro stone-plastic, the structure blends with the natural landscape. The interiors are marked by spacious, rustic furnishings to create a direct connection to the outdoors, while a split-level layout anchors the structure into the hillside, revealing a rustic design aesthetic.
Villa of the Star, a rustic retreat in Da Lat, Vietnam, stands as a testament to sustainable design by APS Concept. Nestled in a pine forest, this house blends local materials like stone and pine wood with large glass windows, creating a seamless connection with nature.
Designed as part of the Mo Stay project, it offers a perfect balance of privacy and community, making it ideal for family gatherings and tranquil escapes.
