Casa Yuma, Mexico, by TAAC and Sara Skalli
Architecture studio TAAC and interior designer Sara Skalli utilised traditional, regionally-sourced materials to create this seaside hotel in Playa Los Naranjos.

Originally built in the 16th century, this palazzo was turned into a luxury hotel by the interior design studio of film director Luca Guadagnino, marking its first venture into hospitality.

Floating Hotel, China, by More Architecture
A large zigzagging roof crowns this hotel nestled within the bamboo forests and mountains of Dachangping. Perched on a grid of steel columns and raised above an open ground floor, the hotel is aptly named Floating Hotel.
Designed by Amsterdam studio More Architecture, the rooms are arranged with varied orientations to provide guests with an “immersive relationship with nature”.

Claimed as the “first carbon-positive hotel” in the US, this triangular-shaped hotel employs several energy-saving design techniques, including a green roof and overhanging “lids” that shade the windows.
Located in downtown Denver, architecture practice Studio Gang intended for its design to reflect the “Aspen eyes” of Colorado’s native Aspen tree.
The Brecon, Switzerland, by Nicemakers
Amsterdam-based studio Nicemakers updated the interiors of this century-old chalet to feel “like a high-end version of your own home”.
With wooden panelling, integrated bookshelves and mismatched mid-century modern furniture, the design studio aimed to create a series of intimate and characterful spaces that feel both personal and inviting.

Manna, Greece, by K-Studio and Monogon
Situated within a fir forest in the mountainous region of Arcadia, this hotel was converted from an abandoned sanatorium into a wellness retreat.
Greek architecture offices K-Studio and Monogon fitted the place with natural materials and neutral tones to amplify the sense of sanctuary offered by the remote location and enhance the feeling of connection to nature.
Hotel Elysée Montmartre, France, by Policronica
Design studio Policronica transformed this 850-square-metre space using almost exclusively a single species of wood, with nearly every element of the architectural woodwork and furnishings custom-designed and crafted on-site at its Lisbon workshop.
The monochrome interior, made from locally-sourced eucalyptus wood, is a nod to the studio’s signature aesthetic.
