The Art of Living: 3 Innovative Houses Bring the Outdoors In
These three innovative houses bring the outdoors in:
Location: Los Angeles.
Standout: The pale tones of the limestone facade, the gallery-crisp interior walls, and the terrazzo flooring are pure California cool.
2. Minarc
Location: Iceland.
Standout: Sustainability reigns, from the roof planted with native grass and the heat captured by the raw-concrete shell to the kitchen cabinets made from rubber tires.
3. Churtichaga + Quadra-Salcedo Arquitectos
Location: Berrocal, Spain.
Standout: Sunny yellow lacquer on the front door and the chimney enlivens this cabin’s facade of autoclaved pine, like scattered dandelions in springtime.
