Transcendent Architecture - Argentina

This beautiful house of Alejandro Sticotti and Mercedes Hernaez, in Argentina, is made all from local materials. I love all the big windows and the floor - from polished concrete to wide wood planks - beautiful!

Transcendent Architecture - Italy

On my wish list is Italy - the Italian countryside, the Italian coast, anything where there are cobblestone roads, beautiful villas, majestic views. Dreaming, just dreaming, although amazingly enough the husband would like to go too! So maybe I should start a savings fund?
But for now I'll just drool over the beautiful Italian architecture:

Villa Orso from vacation-rentals-tuscany.com


Italian Villa on Lake Como from kathika.com

from qq33.com
Verone - famous for the house and balcony said to belong to Juliet in the Shakespeare story, Romeo and Juliet - from italysafeholiday.com


Portofino italysafeholiday.com/RomanticItalyDestinations.htm

All so beautiful and romantic. The architecture is surprisingly simple and yet rich with elegant details and texture. The arches, the color, the combination of materials all combine to make a rich landscape that is a pleasure for the eye and heart.

Come sei bella!
