French Retro, Brazilian Rainforest, British Cob Home
Emmanuel Renoid and Nicolas Libert furnish their Sputnik-shaped home near Caen, France, with design pieces from the 1970s. Architect Marcos Acabaya designed a three-story glass and wood home in the Mata Atlantica rainforest that's perched on three stilts, offering a fantastic view over the forest canopy. Kevin and Rose McCabe have revived the tradition of cob home construction—a combination of mud and straw—for their home in the picturesque countryside of Devon, England.
