The LC4 Chaise Lounge has become one of the most popular pieces to emerge from Le Corbusier's studio.

The great room is designed for indoor/outdoor living. The floor-to-ceiling glass wall at the back of the space (which is just a slice of the all-glass rear) includes a bi-fold NanaWall door system that opens the home to an outdoor terrace and the lush surroundings.

Spotted gum slats screen the interior from the street, while allowing light to pass through and occupants to look out. “The vertical battens mimic the rhythm of the trees. A sharp-edged roof accent highlights the sensibility to the rock below, and draws the eye up to the tree canopy, [both] internally and externally,” says Litera.

The owners are a young couple with two teenage boys, and they wanted their home to be fluidly connected to nature, as well as passively cooled (read: no air-conditioning). This was accomplished via operable louvers, large openings, and multiple indoor/outdoor spaces.

Abodu managed the build and delivery of the turnkey one-bedroom ADU. “The cost is up-front, transparent, all-inclusive— excluding taxes, fees, and custom site-specific work—and locked in before construction begins,” says cofounder Eric McInerney. The kitchen includes a full suite of Bosch appliances.

Originally dating to the 1970s, Hotel Carlota was revamped by JSa Arquitectura and completed in 2015. As part of the renovation, a pool became the focal point of the courtyard, and its modernized, streamlined design makes a dramatic statement.

A verdant oasis awaits in the backyard, complete with a bespoke jacuzzi and jetted pool.

The home's centerpiece is its ridge-beam skylight, which extends over the living room and expanded kitchen.

This two-story corner residence is one of approximately fifty units that Le Corbusier designed for Quartiers Modernes Frugès in Pessac, France.

Villa Savoye

Nokken modular cabin can be customized to suit almost any natural setting.

Comprised of wood, glass, and cement, the 1964 effortlessly blends into its lush landscape.

A rare find designed by acclaimed architecture firm Crites and McConnell in 1965, the Kitzman House features floor-to-ceiling windows and a warm, cedar-paneled interior.

Dating back to 1962, the two-story abode is now turnkey ready for contemporary living.
