In the contemporary debate on well-being, disconnecting doesn't necessarily mean distancing oneself from the world, but rather finding one's place within it. With Biosphere, designed by BIG for Treehotel, architecture becomes part of the ecosystem. Suspended among the trees of the Swedish forest, the structure is lined with hundreds of bird nests, transforming biodiversity into design material.
Here, the landscape isn't a backdrop to be observed, but an environment to be shared. The presence of nature, light, and wildlife punctuates the time of the stay, inviting one to slow down and listen. More than a refuge, Biosphere offers a different idea of contemporary luxury: not isolation, but the possibility of once again feeling part of something larger.

Luxury has long been synonymous with abundance. Today, the true privilege seems to be something else: feeling good.
With Equinox Hotel New York, designed by Rockwell Group and Joyce Wang, wellness becomes the very principle of hospitality. Not just a simple set of services, but an environment designed around the needs of body and mind. Quality sleep, physical recovery, light control, soundproofing, and materials designed to promote well-being redefine the experience of temporary living. Overlooking the Manhattan skyline, Equinox embodies a new paradigm of contemporary luxury, where true wealth is not possessing more, but living better.

For a long time, travel meant escape. Today, increasingly, it means finding balance. Wellbeing is no longer an ancillary hotel service, but a design concept that encompasses architecture, landscape, and the quality of space. According to the Global Wellness Institute, wellness tourism will reach a value of $894 billion in 2024, while sleep, recovery, and slowing down are becoming central criteria when choosing a destination.
UNPLUGGED was born from this transformation. Not as a simple invitation to disconnect, but as a reflection on a new idea of hospitality: less oriented towards the accumulation of experiences and more capable of creating conditions of wellbeing through materials, light, silence, and the relationship with the landscape. The eleven projects in this issue traverse deserts, mountains, forests, oases, and ocean coasts, illustrating different ways of inhabiting time. Perhaps this is precisely the new frontier of contemporary hospitality: not simply offering a destination, but creating spaces capable of restoring attention, energy, and quality of life.

Overlooking the Mediterranean within the Cap Martin park, Villa Pineda transcends time without losing its identity. Designed in the late 1970s by Luigi Caccia Dominioni as a holiday home for the Giraudi family, the villa has been brought back to life through the work of Humbert & Poyet, who have reinterpreted the spaces with a respectful and profoundly contemporary sensibility. The project does not seek to freeze the original architecture, but rather to accompany its evolution: new domestic rhythms, timely changes in use, and a more fluid relationship between the rooms redefine the home without altering its character. Travertine, parchment, bamboo, brass, Nobilis fabrics, and vintage furnishings create a sophisticated and restrained atmosphere, where every detail contributes to the continuity of the project. The connection with the Mediterranean also remains intact. The travertine pool, the large vaults, the striped fabrics, and the vegetation restore an elegant and peaceful dimension of the French Riviera. More than a restoration, it is a dialogue between eras, materials, and memory.

On the southern coast of Corsica, amidst Mediterranean scrub, pink granite, and the sea, Studio Asaï has created a house that seems to have always belonged to the landscape. Villa Cala Rossa is built on a steep slope overlooking the bay of Porto-Vecchio, following the natural topography without altering its equilibrium. From the ground, the villa is barely visible among the vegetation; from the sea, it appears like a mineral mass fragmented by the light. The swimming pool, stretching toward the horizon, creates a perceptual continuity between architecture and the Mediterranean, transforming water into a true spatial device. Pink granite, dark pine, terracotta, and textured surfaces absorb the hues of the Corsican coast, while terraces and openings gradually dissolve the boundary between interior and exterior. The large windows slide until they disappear completely into the masonry, letting in wind, salt, light, and the sound of the sea as an integral part of the domestic experience. A silent architecture, built more on atmosphere than image.

In the Provençal Alpilles, amidst limestone, wind, and Mediterranean light, Joséphine Fossey has created a vacation home for Iconic House that continually oscillates between private residence, creative retreat, and signature hospitality. L'Étoile des Baux is built around a large rock face smoothed by time, incorporating the natural topography as an integral part of the architecture. Three suites are literally carved into the stone, while raw materials, vintage furnishings, contemporary artworks, and objects collected over time create an interior that seems sedimented rather than decorated. The project explores the idea of the maison habitée: a cultured and imperfect domesticity, where every space maintains a lived-in, intimate, and profoundly Mediterranean quality. The pool appears almost carved into the landscape, while terraces, gardens, and outdoor spaces create an informal sequence of atmospheres suspended between art and nature. More than a hospitality facility, it is a domestic landscape to be traversed slowly.

On the Pacific coast of Mexico, amid volcanic rocks, tropical vegetation, and steep slopes, Zozaya Arquitectos has created a house that seems to emerge directly from the topography. Casa Piscina del Cielo was born from a complex terrain marked by large rock formations discovered during excavations. Rather than eliminating them, the project transforms them into structural elements of the entire architecture.
The house does not rest on the landscape: it grows around its geological material.
Mineral walls, exposed concrete, parota wood, chukum plaster, and interwoven palm trees create a grammar that continually oscillates between tropical brutalism and Mexican construction tradition. The heart of the residence is protected by a monumental palapa open to ocean breezes, where the living room, kitchen, and convivial spaces completely dissolve the boundary between interior and exterior.
But it is the pool that defines the project's most radical image: a twenty-seven-meter-long volume of water suspended beyond the cliff, above the Pacific Ocean.
An architecture that does not observe the landscape, but absorbs its gravity, matter and atmosphere.

On the hills of Cannes, Villa Nicky interprets the Mediterranean through a quiet sense of living, where light, wind, and matter create a continuous relationship with the landscape. Designed by Caprini & Pellerin within an existing building, the house unfolds over four levels, following the slope of the land, gradually opening up towards the terrace, the pool, and the sea.
The project focuses on a few carefully selected materials. Travertine runs throughout the interior and exterior like a continuous surface, while solid oak, cast aluminum, and artisanal details introduce a more tactile and sculptural dimension.
Custom furnishings interact with vintage pieces, artwork, and objects collected over time in a natural balance, never constructed or ostentatious.
Throughout the house, the nautical reference remains subtly present: portholes framing the sea, soft surfaces, woven materials, and details that evoke the marine world without ever transforming it into decoration. More than a villa with a view, it's an interior traversed by the Mediterranean.

In the Tuscan landscape, where light, shadow, and texture continually transform the perception of space, Vincenzo De Cotiis conceives a house that seems carved from stone before it's even designed. There's no rural rhetoric, no nostalgic reinterpretation of the Tuscan farmhouse. Instead, the project constructs a compact and almost introverted organism, where architecture, art, and interior design converge in a single sensorial landscape. Green marble permeates surfaces, volumes, and integrated furnishings with an almost geological presence. Not as a precious cladding, but as a living material capable of absorbing light, time, and atmospheric transformations. Oxidized bronzes, brass, glass, and stone intentionally retain traces of workmanship, abrasions, and imperfections, introducing a physical and profoundly tactile dimension to the interiors. The Tuscan countryside enters the house through reflections, chromatic continuity, and visual depth, while the pool and terraces engage with the landscape without ever transforming it into a backdrop. More than a villa immersed in nature, it's a work of architecture that slowly absorbs the surrounding landscape.
