Design/Architecture
The new Museum of Art and Archeology in Portugal's Côa Valley, plus other projects and players to watch.
The secret is out
The design vernacular of Comporta has remained intact for decades. Today it’s providing rich inspiration for new developments too.
Lake life
Architect Erik Persson bought a 120-year-old barn, dismantled it and rebuilt it as a summerhouse. The result is a simple yet stunning off-grid retreat in the peaceful depths of the Swedish countryside.
Design for life
Artisans have embellished everyday utensils with a heavy dose of design without sacrificing performance. Here’s our selection of tools to perk up your quality of life, from Dutch garden tools to Japanese candleholders.
A legacy of love
Álvaro Siza is as dedicated to architecture now as when he started his practice 60 years ago. Optimistic despite his country’s predicament, the old master’s focus is set firmly on the future.
Thriller looks
Prepare for long hot days on the lounger with a good page turner and our selection of sunglasses and summerwear.
Happy vending
We do a little late-night shopping in Tokyo, where no matter what the time is, there’s always somewhere for a quick, post-night-on-the-tiles pick-me-up.
By the lake
We take in some sunshine, swimming and laid-back living in the picture-perfect Swiss city of Lugano. We also keep our eyes out for a handsome villa in the hills.
Life in the round
Bertrand Goldberg’s Marina City buildings are a distinctive feature of Chicago’s skyline. We meet the residents of the iconic ‘corncobs’ to explore their unique way of life and enduring architectural legacy.
