#LifeAfterLockdown – Solaz Los Cabos Hotel

White Flower Arbour
On the occasion of a world festival in 2019, the Maezawa Garden House added a discreet arbour merging into the woods.
Christo and Jeanne-Claude, Paris!
The Centre Pompidou hosts a major exhibition retracing artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s years in Paris together from 1958 to 1964. After the Pont-Neuf, another Parisian landmark will be temporary wrapped in 2021: the Arc de Triomphe.
Casa Santa Teresa
The Isle of Beauty is the second name of Corsica; a land full of contrasts and surprises with stunning landscapes from crystal blue waters to snowy mountain peaks. In Ajaccio, birthplace of Napoleon Bonaparte, Amelia Tavella worked on a white home called Casa Santa Teresa.
The Buhais Geology Park Interpretive Centre
It is not the first mission on Mars; it is not another science fiction movie; it is real and it happens in the UAE, in the desert of the Emirate of Sharjah: the Buhais Geology Park Interpretive Centre.
The RaeRae House
Austin Maynard Architects created an unconventional but thoroughly logical house in Fitzroy, Melbourne. Responsive, contextual and strategic, this is a functional home with nuanced moments of surprise and discovery.
The Bearable Lightness of Living
In the South-Eastern region of Thailand, Research Studio Panin worked on a house that anticipates the future needs of its owner.
Stored History
The history of Graz, the second largest city in Austria, goes back to the Copper Age. With six universities on its territory, the city has a very rich heritage. At the Palais Herberstein, a new trilogy of permanent exhibitions is showcasing historic artifacts with a stunning layout.
