Hidden gem
When architect Angelo Bucci was asked to design a holiday home that wouldn’t disrupt the forest or beach in Ubatuba, he came up with a house that is a masterpiece of engineering.
Design/Architecture
A new sports hall in Australia, an exquisite chair from Sweden and a Q & A with the new director of the ECAL design school in Lausanne.
Crank it up

Shelf esteem
Take two retail visionaries, one Tokyo store space and one great idea, and you’ve got the Good Design Shop, a concept store made to change the way people consume.
Best in class
While some countries struggle with school design policy, innovative architects are demonstrating that a healthy learning environment with plenty of light and natural materials means happier children and long-term economic benefits.
