Boris Darmanovic – Montenegro Sotheby’s International Realty

Long before homes were built with other materials, they were crafted from wood. And even with modernity’s remarkable technical advances, wood remains exceptional in utility, aesthetics, and sustainability. Because wood is natural and renewable, it is ideal for creating living spaces that holistically bring together indoors and outdoors, uniting the comfort of a home with the beauty of the landscape. There are no limits to what wood can accomplish in terms of application, ambience, and architecture.

Harmony by Design

It’s no wonder architects and designers love working with wood when designing outdoor living spaces, in which the landscaping itself becomes an accessory to the home. This ultra-contemporary residence in Calistoga creatively features chic wood floors, walls, screens, and fixtures that feel fully integrated with the stunning scenery.

Creativity in Construction

The strength and versatility of wood make it especially valuable, as it can be integrated into a wide variety of structures. The exquisite support structures found throughout this Montenegro villa demonstrate how wooden accents can imbue unmatched vitality and individuality into indoor-outdoor spaces.

Wood’s resilience is also one of its major advantages; these spaces can weather the elements and stand the test of time—in substance as well as in style. For homeowners, high-quality woodworking is the foundation of outdoor luxury.
