Skiing on Shakunage-dake Mountain in Hokkaidō, Japan.

In our book 'Voyages' with Sidetracked Magazine, Sofía Mejía Llamas went on a solo adventure to explore this mountain, navigating its wintry landscape.

From the forest of shirakaba, the Japanese name for white birch trees, along a ridgeline to the snow skirting the mountain, there was a sound to the silence of the place.

It was different to the other seasons. Winter and the start of spring are so still. Simultaneously void and so full of life. Japan has an incredible natural light. In this forest, it felt as though it wove through a golden-orange filter before reaching Sofía.

Since time immemorial, the Japanese tea ceremony has stood for tranquility, concentration, and presence.

Takizme, a tea store in Tokyo, delivers on that promise but also breaks with tradition with a contemporary interior by product designer Ryota Yokozeki.

Traditionally, the furo, the brazier for preparing tea, is made of ceramic or metal. Here,the designer created it from light-colored Ōya stone, a heat-resistant tuff stone from Tochigi Prefecture.

The table also represents a modern interpretation of the national design philosophy - made using the traditional method of sashimono, without nails.

A barn with soaring cathedral-like ceilings and windows looking out onto Pullenvale in Queensland, Australia.

Designed by Paul Uhlmann Architects, the design reinterprets the red barns dotting the American countryside that the family fell in love with as a “strong, singular rural form."

Clad externally and internally with spotted gum timber and topped by a Zincalume metal roof, the home sits like a rural shed in the bushland and farmland setting.

Dive into a journey of a lifetime with our new publication 'Life on the Road'.

'Life on the Road' tells the story of a multi-year trip with Akela World across mind-blowing landscapes around the world.

Leander, Maria and their son Lennox began in their home country Austria, travelling in a nearly 50-year-old Mercedes-Benz truck dubbed 'Akela'.

Four continents and 35 countries later, they discovered the extraordinary kindness of people, a continued awe for planet Earth and a desire to protect its rich variety.

'From waters teeming with manta rays in Indonesia to mist-wreathed clifftop monasteries in Greece, we hope to inspire readers just as we have been.'

This shelter designed by Vipp next to Lake Immeln in Sweden focusses on the surrounding nature to perfectly frame the lake.

Vipp entirely predetermined and arranged the beautiful black steel frame and furnishings, which are punctuated by floor-to-ceiling glass windows and skylights.

Because of the firm’s experience in industrial design, the prefabricated getaway is meticulously constructed and finished to an acute level of detail.

An industrial space in Athens, imbued with rustic charm.

10am Lofts is a former 1970s industrial building in the downtown neighborhood of Gazi. The penthouse brims with a sense of rough luxury.

Painted lime-plaster walls complement heavy, flaxseed-hued linen curtains and tailored ceramics and sculptures by the likes of Yiorgos Trichas.

This expansive sea pool sits in the desirable coastal enclave of Sydney’s Northern Beaches.

Positioned at the entrance to Narrabeen Lagoon, a wall separates the 164-foot pool into two distinct areas: one for laps and one for play.

The Shkrub House in Ukraine serves as a testament to the unique design aesthetic of Serhii Makhno, blending Ukrainian tradition and wabi-sabi philosophy.

Serhii Makhno designs his projects with a focus on both Ukrainian traditions and Japanese aesthetics. Makhno seamlessly brings these two cultures under one roof.

The interior boasts a modern Ukrainian style while mixing in elements of wabi-sabi philosophy. This spacious two-story building features natural materials like wood, metal, and clay throughout.

At Café Nuances in Paris’s eighth arrondissement, it’s the color that compels.

Designed by French architecture firm Uchronia, its pristine white facade makes the vivid color inside stand out.

Painted on floors and walls, the coffee shop’s gradient of indigo blue to orange was inspired by Uchronia founder Julien Sebban’s travels to the Tunisian desert and the sunsets he witnessed there.

WKA Penthouse by Bruno Spaas in Antwerp, Belgium.

This spectacular kitchen is at the heart of a penthouse apartment that is wrapped in glass and lined with mirrors. Fifteen floors up, every inch of the apartment’s flooring is made from chunks of locally sourced stone.

The rest of the interior design is no less unconventional: a distortion-free tempered mirror and high-gloss painted surfaces create a sense of infinite space with their reflections.

Anh Coffee Roastery’s flagship store, designed by Red 5 Studio, is located in the center of Ho Chi Minh City.

It presents a unique and immersive experience that combines the beauty of the natural landscape with a modern and visually interesting design.

Anh Coffee Roastery's inspiration comes from the basalt-red volcanic soil of Vietnam’s Central Highlands, the country’s main coffee-growing district, and the feeling of being immersed, floating in this serene region on a cloudy day.

In dialogue between the Danish city of Vejle and its fjord, it stands at 92 feet high with elongated, parabolic arches and curving walls.
