Charm bordering on enchantment, warm and enveloping, joyful and playful, enlivened by bright colors and the vibrant summer light. Works of architecture, fluid like the sea, selected for our July-August issue: private homes but also spaces set aside for the most exclusive hospitality and wellness (also in retail contexts), that establish special relationships with their locations, from Capri to Cervia, Ibiza to Barcelona, San Luis Potosí to New York, all the way to Paris. Each project, in its own way, reinterprets the cultural, aesthetic and material essence the genius loci in a contemporary way, as the very foundations of the project.
