La Marea sits among the rolling fields of Magliano in Toscana, Italy, a contemporary country house shaped by Special Italy – Special Umbria. Open volumes, stone walls, and a sunlit palette give this rural retreat a distinctly modern edge while keeping its footing in the landscape. Inside, the studio layers warm textures, generous furniture, and vivid color so long days drift easily between interior rooms and outdoor terraces.
Between Sea and Stone sits on a steep hillside in Sa Riera, Spain, with long views to the Mediterranean. Designed by Pepe Gascón Arquitectura as a second residence, the house steps down in platforms that connect daily life to the slope. Four staggered levels organize summer routines, drawing light and breeze across rooms while keeping bedrooms tucked away. It reads as a measured descent, calibrated for mornings by the water and shaded afternoons.
Villa Tai, designed by ARK Architects in 2024, rises from the hills of Sotogrande, Spain. This luxurious residence combines contemporary architecture with expansive use of stone and wood, maximizing Mediterranean views and the surrounding landscape. Floor-to-ceiling glass, open-plan living, and seamless indoor-outdoor connections define the home’s design ethos, bringing nature directly into each refined space. The result is a serene and stylish retreat tailored for modern living.
