The landscape gives the architecture its direction.
On Japan’s Sagishima Island, NOT A HOTEL Setouchi by BIG, Bjarke Ingels Group brings three sculptural villas into close relationship with the Seto Inland Sea.
Curved rammed-earth walls incorporate soil from the site. Expansive glazing connects interior spaces with the horizon. Japanese craftsmanship and Scandinavian simplicity shape a retreat grounded in its setting.
Material.
Terrain.
Light.
Views.
One complete experience.
Through By Design, Elemento explores the practices connecting architecture with outdoor living.

Comfort shapes how long we stay outside.
LEAF by Heatsail brings shade, misting, lighting, and heating together in one sculptural piece.
Shade and mist soften the heat of the day.
Light and warmth extend the evening.
Each function supports a different moment in the outdoor room.
At Elemento, we consider climate and comfort alongside furnishings and layout, creating spaces that invite more time outdoors.

The pool belongs to the whole composition.
Its edge follows an architectural line.
Water reflects the landscape.
Materials connect the terrace to the home.
Each decision shapes how the outdoor environment looks, moves, and is experienced.
Featuring CPS Outdoors, whose in-house design, engineering, and construction capabilities bring the pool structure, hydraulics, finishes, and surrounding spaces into one coordinated process.
At Elemento, we consider furnishings, shade, and materials within that same complete outdoor vision.

Shade becomes an atmosphere.
Twenty years after its first prototype was presented at Feria Hábitat Valencia, Ensombra by Odosdesign for Gandia Blasco returns in a new setting.
Within Hotel Hábitat, the project designed by Joaquín Homs, the installation brings Mediterranean sensations indoors: filtered light, the suggestion of the sea, and the pleasure of pausing in the shade.
A familiar piece, experienced through a different spatial lens.
At Elemento, we consider shade within the complete outdoor composition, shaping light, comfort, and how a space is enjoyed.

Landscape shapes the way a place is lived in.

From Banyan Ridge to Miami Beach Botanical Garden and Grove at Grand Bay, these projects invite us to consider landscape as part of the complete environment.

Guiding movement.
Creating privacy.
Connecting architecture with the open air.

Autumn changes the rhythm of the outdoor room.
Softer light.
A warmer cup.
An afternoon with nowhere else to be.
Curved forms and soft seating make the terrace a place to settle in, carrying the comfort of home into the open air.
At Elemento Living, we consider how furnishings, shade, and layout come together to make time outdoors part of everyday life.
Bring us your terrace plans. Connect with our Miami Beach design studio to shape a space worth staying in.

The outdoor room takes a softer shape.
Kori brings the comfort of a living room into the open air, with modular seating that invites you to slow down and settle in.
Pentagonal modules allow the arrangement to move beyond straight lines. Two-tone options add depth to the composition, creating configurations shaped around the space and the people using it.
Softness, flexibility, and outdoor performance, considered together.

The wardrobe and the home have always spoken the same language. Material.
When a fashion house turns to furniture, the conversation gets interesting. Chloé with Poltronova, Stella McCartney with B&B Italia, Gucci Design Ancora with Acerbis, La DoubleJ with Kartell. Each one takes an icon, a print, a leather, a silhouette, and reinterprets it across a different medium. The result is never just a logo on a cushion. It is one creative world rethinking the materials of another.
It is the thinking we carry into every outdoor space. The best design does not decorate a surface. It understands what a material wants to be, then lets it become it.

Balance begins with placement.
The Caleo Collection and Link Meditation Bed by SNOC bring a clear sense of composition to the outdoor room. Each form is considered in relation to the next, with space between them allowing the arrangement to breathe.
Seating, rest, and movement become part of the same plan.
At Elemento, we look at how individual pieces work together to shape a complete outdoor environment.
