Perched over the forest floor, the living room of this Seattle home designed by Ore Studios marries modern design with nature beautifully. The house functions as a “transparent jewel box” in the middle of the Puget Sound landscape.
An outdoor-grade pool table on the patio means the party can come outside! Just opposite the custom pool table by Linda Hayslett is a cooking area and banquette for alfresco dining and drinks.
Deep in the forest of upstate New York, designer Beverly Kerzner went above and beyond to create a tented outdoor retreat to commune with nature, clearing vines, non-native plants, and debris a half-acre away on the forested part of her property (a 30-minute walk from the main house!). She built a platform and filled it with all the glamping goods: a well-decorated yurt, an outdoor wood-burning stove, and lounge furniture on the exposed deck. A few steps away, there’s even an outdoor bathroom.
