An enchanting retreat

Sympathetically integrated into the Mojave Desert, this comfortable, eco-friendly cedar retreat is tucked away at the entrance to the Joshua Tree National Park. The Mojave desert in south-east California, with its particularly fragile ecosystem, is breathtakingly beautiful. This convinced Argentine architects Juan Diego and Fernando Gerscovich (IOAN) that it was the ideal place to build […]

The year 2024 is just around the corner, and it’s an astonishing time for the housing sector. At some point, we had to calm down, and after being cooped up (that’s not too strong a word!), the logical thing to do today is to TRAVEL. Hotel occupancy rates are at an all-time high, airline sales are soaring… in short, the industry is on a roll. So what can we, the publishers of home magazines, do? Adapting and helping our customers. Our motto is and always has been: kindness.

We’re so proud to say that, yes, the big brands follow and support us, because they love VILLAS and are pampered here. Yes, we’re always on the lookout for new ways to wow our readers, so that we can live up to our convictions and their expectations by presenting innovative talent that explodes their creativity. Yes, “this mag is good and inspiring” (as some would say) and it won’t stop evolving. The June issue promises happy days for those who read and love us.

Villas The Book : Design

They will matter. They already matter. Between design, art design and virtuoso craftsmanship, Belgian and foreign designers alike are designing our everyday environment. And what they create is always in tune with the times. Design is 98% common sense and 2% futility. It’s not me who says so, but Philippe Starck – he’s never short […]
