A Hudson Valley Estate With Lakefront Views From Nearly Every Window
Nature in the time of climate change is a perilous thing, making land stewardship paramount for the owner of a 170-acre Hudson Valley, New York, estate, where a private lake and four stone-and-wood cottages from the 1930s are set in a storybook forest of white pine and hemlock. “Sustainability makes good long-term sense, economically and environmentally,” says the homeowner. “Our family leads a healthy lifestyle and we wanted our home to reflect that.” The decor’s biggest statement pieces, literally and figuratively, are either repurposed from salvage or reimagined family heirlooms.

Tour a Century-Old Fruit Farm Turned Family Retreat in Marin County
After raising their three children in the Bay Area, interior designer Peter Dolkas’s parents, Dave and Karen, stayed put, until lockdown nudged them to reevaluate their surroundings. Spurred by the idea of multigenerational living, Dolkas’s brother moved his family into a 1920s farmhouse on their property. What makes this home truly special is its connection to the outdoors. A wraparound porch, complete with an open-air living area and screened dining room, effectively doubles the home’s footprint. Photo by Ethan Herrington

Tour a Classically Modern and Minimalist Island Home in Greece
In Greece, there’s a myth to explain everything into being. In the case of Patmos, the Dodecanesean island favored by style arbiters for its discreet luxury, legend tells of an industrious pair of goddesses who, recognizing the submerged island’s beauty, rescued it from the depths of the Aegean. Once above sea level, the land was dried and nourished by Helios, the sun god, and life flourished. Today, the sun continues to shine on Patmos, where another pair of Grecian goddesses—the mother-daughter team of architect Katerina Tsigarida and interior designer Leda Athanasopoulou—channeled that mythical story, however inadvertently, as they coaxed an ancient seaside property back to life.
