Villa Gug In Aalborg, Denmark, By @big_builds
Nestled near a rugged concrete road is ‘Villa Gug,’ a uniquely designed minimalistic-styled home in Aalborg, Denmark. The home is designed to express an overwhelming sense of openness with the help of its horizontal windows, allowing for natural light to seep inside the home. Materials used to construct the home so that it perfectly harmonizes with its overall environment and traditional architecture are Nordic white bricks, timber, concrete, and steel, which have been developed to allow for the home to blend with the environment while maintaining a modern, contemporary aesthetic.
Its circular design allows for an expansive and panoramic view of the area. Amenities include a garden, pool, a roof terrace, lounge areas, garage space, and more. The home is two stories; it is built on a hillside, which causes a section of the home to overlap, creating a bridge between the two floors. The overall design was intended to convey comfort and stability within an isolated, open area that provided a minimalistic lifestyle.

Arnaud Donckele & Maxime Frédéric @ Hôtel White 1921, Saint Tropez pour Louis Vuitton
Cet été, Louis Vuitton confie son restaurant tropézien de l'hôtel White 1921 au chef étoilé Arnaud Donckele et au chef pâtissier Maxime Frédéric. À travers une carte épurée, le duo explore les saveurs et la douceur de vivre de la Côte d’Azur dans un esprit décontracté, chaleureux et élégant.
C’est dans le mythique village de Saint-Tropez, entre le Vieux Port et la place des Lices, que se dresse le restaurant, au cœur d’une grande demeure immaculée. Le décor, inspiré par l’univers de Louis Vuitton, reprend le motif des carreaux bleus et blancs dévoilé pour la nouvelle collection estivale « LV By The Pool ».
Complices professionnels à Cheval Blanc Paris, Arnaud Donckele et Maxime Frédéric sont aussi amis dans la vie. Les deux normands imaginent à quatre mains un voyage gourmand ancré dans le terroir local, véritable ode aux arômes méditerranéens, faisant écho à leur vision commune d’une gastronomie savoureuse et authentique.

Kona Village Resort has been known for its connection to Hawaiian culture ever since it first opened in 1965. Tucked away on Kahuwai Bay along the Kohala Coast, it quickly became one of the island’s most notable hotels due to its remote location and pristine scenery — but what truly set it apart was how it was fully embraced and conveyed the unique spirit of Hawaii and its people. When a tsunami hit the Big Island in 2012, however, the hotel’s signature hales (thatched huts) were left in ruins. Now, With the help of Rosewood Hotels & Resorts, Greg Warner of Walker Warner Architects and design firm NICOLEHOLLIS, the beloved resort opened its doors once again earlier this week.
The revival of Kona Village comes nearly a decade after its destruction – and seven years after the development process began – but the storied hotel remains adamantly connected to its roots. Kennedy Wilson, a real estate firm that prioritizes sustainability, joined the collaborative effort, and ensured the extensive project was as least intrusive as possible to the local land. Warner also enlisted Re-Use Hawaii to assure any unused materials from the demolition were repurposed back to the Big Island.
“It was incredibly important to all partners that the mana – or special energy – of the site was honored and protected,’ says Joanne Behrens, Rosewood’s VP of design and project services for the Americas. The relaxed Pacific Ocean feel of the idyllic hotel is stemmed “barefoot luxury” by Walker Warner: a casual aesthetic approach that embraces simplicity. Kona Village amalgamates the design work of 60 Hawaiian artists and designers as well, connecting it to the island’s history and heritage.
Five restaurants sit at the resort’s center alongside the Asaya Spa, giving guests a central place to convene and reimagining the communal feel that drew guests in since the resort’s initial opening. Check out more photos in the gallery above.

Absoluut Valvert
All Flemish girls share the same dream: to start their own b&b in the Provence. This dream became a reality for me in 2004 when entrepreneurs Anton and Inge Gonnissen, and the couple behind ABS Bouwteam, pointed me to a spot in Bonnieux. They encouraged me to have a look and have been supporting me ever since.
When I discovered Absoluut Valvert, it was love at first sight: an eighteenth century mas with stunning views over the hills of the Petit Luberon. It was far from perfect then, but I immediately recognised the potential and took to work.
Two years after opening the b&b Belgian journalist, author and globetrotter Pierre Darge came along for a good story. He was deeply impressed by the Luberon, by Absoluut Valvert and by … myself.
Together we have been working hard to build a jewel that has impressed so many visitors who are looking for a quiet spot in a classy atmosphere.
More than ten years later I feel somewhat proud and still enjoy every day of my job. It’s often hard work but with 300 sunny days a year, unclouded skies and surrounded by nature there is no reason to complain. Meeting our guests has been a very rewarding and enriching experience and so ever since that first year in Provence.

« Le luxe n’est pas lié à la valeur des choses, rappelle Denis Montel. C’est une façon de penser. C’est le temps, l’exigence que l’on prend à bien faire les choses, pour s’inscrire dans la pérennité et pour satisfaire le confort des sens. Tous les programmes s’y prêtent. »
Chez RDAI tout est rare : l’adresse, les locaux, la matériauthèque, l’organisation de l’agence, la méthode du travail, la sémantique, l’approche architecturale, le rapport au temps sous toutes ses acceptions, l’épaisseur des dossiers d’exécution… « Une nécessité, précise Julia Capp, puisque nous avons choisi de ne pas réaliser l’exécution de nos projets. » Primo parce qu’ils sont pour l’essentiel construits à l’étranger. Secundo parce que « nous ne sommes pas des démiurges. Nous concentrons notre énergie sur la conception, à laquelle nous portons un soin infini qui confine au dérisoire. Nous préférons donc confier à des experts la mise en oeuvre et l’assemblage de ce que nous avons dessiné avec tant de précision, parfois à l’échelle 1 ».

Studio Xag for Hermès London: “Our first windows with Hermès are inspired by the Human Odyssey and follow the story of our protagonist as they set off on a wondrous voyage - a quest for a deeper understanding and connection to the world, its inhabitants and oneself.”

The name Simon Brette might not ring a bell, except maybe to a small group of highly seasoned collectors. Yet, Simon has been behind the conception of many important modern watches by renowned independent watchmakers (think Chronode, MB&F and more). Two years ago, following some changes in his personal life and probably the effect of the pandemic, Simon Brette decided that it was time for him to fly solo… Or at least, to steer the ship with artisanship and human values in mind, and the help of talented suppliers. The result of his convictions takes shape today, and the result, named Simon Brette Chronomètre Artisans Subscription Edition, is a time-only watch the way we love it. Overly engineered, ultra-decorated, modern and traditional at the same time. And stunning on the wrist too.

Maurizio Galante and Tal Lancman use everyday objects such as buttons, shoelaces, pencils, and children’s coloring books as handles to open the door into the Hermès dreamscapes. the designers created six display windows, a two-level corner show window, and five street windows for the Hermès flagship store in Hong Kong, exploring creativity to arouse the viewer’s imagination.
Their strategy of repetition and color creates mesmerizing window displays, reflecting the rich universe of Hermès. the magical installations include a landscape entirely comprised of colorful scrapbooks, covering the surfaces, and display products for the road, that allow traveling in style. in another window, the duo challenges the laws of nature, positioning theHermès circus tea set in a juggling act. the delicate porcelain dishes seem to be thrown for a spin.
