House 720 Degrees Turns Architecture Into a Living System - See more here: designscene.net/2026/01/house-… House 720 Degrees, designed by Fernanda Canales, is conceived as an architectural device rather than a conventional home. Located in Valle de Bravo, the project doubles the logic of 360-degree vision, creating a spatial system that responds to time, movement, and the shifting relationship between interior and exterior life. The house functions as both shelter and instrument, registering daily and seasonal change through its form. Photo credit Rafael Gamo

In this week’s ‘DORIC ORDER,’ Katarina Doric reflects on a week in Tulum not as a restful escape, but as a lesson in who gets access and who doesn’t. What sells itself as serenity and connection is really an economy of curated calm, gated shorelines, and invisible price lists. In Tulum, paradise is photographed more than shared and the locals who live beside it often never step onto the beaches they maintain. Doric unpacks how eco-conscious branding and boho chic aesthetics mask unequal access, extractive tourism, and luxury priced out of community purpose, revealing that beach culture can be a mirror for global inequality itself. "I left Miami in a daze. Art Week had swollen into its usual swirl of commitments, openings, dinners, and obligations disguised as opportunities. Every year I think I’ve learned how to pace myself, and every year the same thing happens: I burn out on the first day, push through the rest, and spend the final night scrolling through photos I barely remember taking. It’s a ritual of overexposure. By the end, the only thing I wanted was quiet, an uncomplicated week where nothing required a guest list or a press badge. So I booked Tulum, imagining hammocks, cheap tacos, and a beach that didn’t demand anything from me. The irony, of course, is that Tulum turned out to be its own kind of stage, just one with sand instead of concrete" For the full story head over to designscene.net/2025/12/beachf…

This magical hotel in #Budapest - discover #WBudapest with #DSCENETravel team, review by @zarkodavinic - W Budapest Travel Review: Budapest is fast becoming one of Europe’s most exciting hidden gems - a city overflowing with architectural wonder and creative energy, yet still delightfully under the mainstream travel radar compared to spots like Paris or Rome. Those who venture here quickly realize that Budapest rewards the curious at every corner, from its majestic boulevards and historic buildings to its dynamic cultural scene. The best way to experience this captivating city? By immersing yourself right at its core, in a place that does more than just offer a bed for the night—one that truly connects you to Budapest’s rich story. That’s where W Budapest comes in. As the city’s newest luxury hotel, it’s all about celebrating the past, embodying local spirit, and ensuring your stay is every bit as unforgettable as the city itself. A Legendary Address on Andrássy Avenue W Budapest sits on the iconic Andrássy Avenue, Budapest’s most dazzling boulevard and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The hotel is housed within the historic Drechsler Palace, a building that’s seen everything from luxury residencies to the home of the national ballet. After many years of standing empty, the palace has been brilliantly restored and reimagined - each element, inside and out, pays homage to Budapest’s grand architectural tradition. It’s located right opposite the beautifully renovated Budapest Opera House, rivaling the glamor of Paris’s Opera Garnier and giving guests front-row access to the city’s magnificent history. Signature Style with Marriott Bonvoy W Budapest proudly joins the Marriott Bonvoy collection, bringing the brand’s signature flair for innovative design, lively sophistication, and top-tier hospitality to Hungary for the first time. The hotel boasts 151 chic rooms (including 45 uniquely styled suites). The fifth floor draws inspiration from the palace’s wooden rooftop, while the WOW and Extreme WOW suites are modern tributes to Swan Lake - one strikingly black, the other all white. Throughout, the interiors strike a perfect balance between contemporary comfort and respect for the building’s remarkable heritage and Budapest’s vibrant character.

Introducing Atto Design by Pininfarina, a new icon rising in #RiodeJaneiro’s Barra de Tijuca, where Italian innovation meets the city’s legendary landscapes. Designed in collaboration with Origem Incorporadora, Atto is more than just a boutique residential project; it’s a sculptural tribute to the soul of Rio, blending modern luxury with the city’s natural and cultural heritage. Every detail of Atto draws inspiration from the sweeping curves of Sugarloaf Mountain and the rhythmic lines of Copacabana and Ipanema. The building’s stepped silhouette echoes Rio’s terraced hills, while its fluid terraces and lush vertical gardens immerse residents in a sensory experience that celebrates local craftsmanship and artistry. Atto’s design language is rooted in the traditions of Brazilian artisans, with mosaic-inspired geometry, vibrant textures, and a material palette rich in hardwoods, quartzite, and woven rattan. Inside, each of the 20 exclusive residences opens onto breathtaking views of the Atlantic and Rio’s mountains, bathed in natural light and cooled by ocean breezes. The architecture creates a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living, prioritizing wellness, relaxation, and an emotional bond with the landscape. Located in the heart of Barra de Tijuca, a district known for its blend of pristine beaches, world-class amenities, and vibrant culture, Atto embodies the future of elevated living in Rio. This project is a testament to Pininfarina’s vision of new luxury: clarity, simplicity, and harmony with nature. Atto is more than a place to live—it’s a new legacy for Rio, a masterpiece born from collaboration, creativity, and a deep respect for the city’s contrasts.
