Malibu beach shack by Marmol Radziner asks for $3.9m

The two-bedroom surf shack occupies a hilltop site overlooking the nearby private beach. Its exterior embraces a rustic aesthetic – think wood fencing and panelling – but the home’s interiors are surprisingly minimal, with steel beams, white walls and a muted colour scheme. Grey sofas, wooden dining furniture and a long media unit, all designed by James Perse, are included in the sale. Photography: Marcelo Lagos #design #inspiration #interiors #architecture

Can Lluïssó is a slow retreat for rent in the heart of Mallorca’s countryside

The Mallorcan property is located outside the village of Porreres on half acre plot, covered in olive, lemon and almond trees and surrounded by rolling countryside. Taking the historic finca as their starting point, its owners undertook a top-to-toe refurbishment of the villa using traditional materials and blending old with new to create a slow retreat that runs on clean, geothermal energy year-round.

Coastal Danish cottage is a year round retreat

This freshly completed coastal cottage is a masterclass in Scandi design, with golden pine-encased interiors wrapped in a black timber shell. The Zealand property is close to the harbour town of Yderby Lyng and sits atop a hilly slope, just 150 metres from the peninsula’s famous sandbanks, which are popular with bathers during warmer months.

This renovated Mallorcan finca is a masterclass in modern rustic

Casa Oliva is listed via Gennel Properties for €3.3m and was completely renovated in 2018, weaving together original features with modern finishes. Layers of history can be read via rugged A-frame trusses, and high beamed ceilings painted white to hone a modern Mediterranean loft feel.
