Hotel Encanto in Acapulco by Taller Aragones.

The Encanto Hotel was built in Acapulco with few resources, economic materials, and local labor. The building tries to retain a human scale. Occa- sionally narrow, even small compared to or in contrast with its great heights; it has corners where only two people fit, intimate spaces that shelter and protect its guests. In this hotel, the potential for amazement is con- stant. One cannot help but observe each place, there is no room for distraction: common areas, private spaces, all designed for concentration and relaxation. Encanto is also a great labyrinth whose exits open out onto and are completed by the ocean. Everything was playfully created to generate continual momentum from the sea, to compel those staying there to seek and find a way out, arriving at it always and capturing it with their gazes.

Domus Civita by Studio F.

Domus Civita was purchased in a disastrous state in 2011 by owner and architect Patrizio Fradiani and his partner Mark. Inhabited but abused and cut up, the house main structure was part of a larger building divided up in the 20th century even though the original structure dates from the 14th century, when the town of Civita di Bagnoregio current urban layout developed. The signs of the house original beauty were still visible in the old stone fireplace, the wooden beams, the stone walls, the terracotta floors.

However the most interesting feature of the house was its umbilical connection to its underground world all carved into the soft volcanic tufa stone. Through a series of tunnels and caves dating from the middle ages as well as Roman and Etruscan times the house ground floor had a stair dug into the stone and reaching a large underground Roman water cistern still perfectly preserved. Through the cistern you could reach an abandoned garden suspended between 2 stone cliffs at the edge of town. From the garden more caves of Etruscan and medieval times were dug into the rock opening up interesting possibilities for creative uses. Architects: Studio F, Location: Civita di Bagnoregio, Italy, Photographs: Bob Coscarelli.

The house is stylized as cave so there are not many straight angles. Everything inside and outside is done by Alexandre de Betak himself who is designer, an events producer, and art director, who’s worked on Dior’s and Rodarte’s fashion shows. Alexandre de Betak wanted to make a perfect place for summer getaway and what can be better than a house byt the sea?

Chalet Indigo, Megéve.

Located in Mont d’Arbois, this is one of very few luxury chalets in the resort that is truly “ski in, ski out”. Situated on the Baron de Rothschild′s land, Chalet Indigo impresses from the front door. The indoor pool is found on the ground floor, offering variable depth and can also be converted into a conference room with the jacuzzi and hammam alongside. The home-cinema is also transformable – think cinema come nightclub, fully equipped with bar, deep sofas, equipment for a DJ and a karaoke machine; an adaptable space, perfect for either use. The stunning first floor living room is vast, joining the dining room with relaxing nooks, all of which open onto a terrace overlooking the piste.
