As we reflect on the past year, one thing is clear: the best homes featured in T magazine have a singular aesthetic that sets them apart from the rest. From the rugged beauty of the Monégasque hills to the rolling hills of southern Tuscany, these homes showcase a strong point of view that is both timeless and modern.
Take, for example, Tom Dixon's Brutalist villa in the Monégasque hills, which is a masterclass in modern design. Or, consider Studio Peregalli's chalet in Switzerland's Engadine valley, which is a beautiful example of how to blend traditional and modern elements.
But what really sets these homes apart is their rich and layered past. Take, for example, the early Modernist home of the architect Osvaldo Borsani, which is a stunning example of how to preserve and restore a historic home. Or, consider the medieval castle in southern Tuscany revived by the vintner Charlotte Horton, which is a beautiful example of how to bring new life to an old building.
