Landscape

Walking through the 4,400-acre Piedmont Heritage historic estate in Spring Grove, Virginia, it is impossible not to sense the layers of its past. Over centuries, the formal gardens had become a fragmented patchwork: grand avenues were obscured, terraces overgrown, parterres faded into irregularity. When Jean-Marc Flack, founder of Hortulus Animae, arrived to restore the property, he approached it not as a relic to be frozen in time but as a palimpsest

Perched in the forested cliffs of Big Sur, California, Big Sur Cabin II replaces a previous cabin that was beyond repair, offering a model of thoughtful, site-sensitive design. The 1,194-square-foot home by Studio Schicketanz responds directly to the scale and character of the wooded surroundings, where the landscape once supported a logging economy centered on Nottley’s Landing

In Coconut Grove, STRANG’s Kiaora Residence reimagines suburban living with a bold architectural gesture. Two interlocking rectangular volumes define the structure, establishing a clear hierarchy between private and communal spaces while producing a striking, dynamic form. 

Chad Oppenheim is not your typical architect. Since founding Oppenheim Architecture in 1999, he has pursued a vision of design that is as much about feeling as it is about form. With offices in Miami and Basel, his practice spans six continents, yet every project is deeply rooted in its own unique context. From the deserts of Saudi Arabia to the shores of the Red Sea, Oppenheim’s work reads the land, the history, and the culture, transforming those insights into spaces that are both

There is a point, in a private park in Surrey, where architecture ceases to be merely form and matter and becomes a fully immersive acoustic experience. It is here that the new Music Pavilion by SHH Architecture & Interiors finds its place: a structure at once minimal and arresting, conceived to realise a singular ambition – to experience music in its purest form

In the sun-drenched landscape of Uruguay’s La Barra region, where vast countryside meets the rhythm of the Atlantic, a new kind of living is taking shape. At the heart of it is Carolina Proto, the renowned Brazilian architect and founder of Estudio Obra Prima , whose latest collaboration with JHSF and the Fasano brand has redefined what it means to live beautifully – and naturally – in Punta del Este

Slick and modern are the adjectives that best define this penthouse interior design project by SHH studio on Henigman’s development. We are in London, on The Bishop Avenue, an high-class street running from the north of Hampstead Heath to East Finchley. 

The landscape as the starting point of the project, from which to draw visual and material inspiration, is the element that best denotes the creative vision of the full-service architecture, interior design, and consultancy firm Studio Schicketanz.
