With the end of summertime quickly approaching, it’s hard not to have vacation on the brain. The Brown/Saide Residence in the Hamptons is a perfect mix of modern set in the country. The lofty residence was designed by Benjamin Noriega-Ortiz in collaboration with architect Brian E. Boyle and was built in the ’80s. The 6,700 sq. ft. residence is both private and perfect for entertaining when the owner’s feel lead. The exterior of the house is almost camouflaged by the lush, natural landscaping, creating an organic aesthetic that you would think might continue indoors. However, step inside and you will find the space is anything but. Rather, the interior features a clean, white palette, highlighted with bits of color and sleek furnishings. The striking contrast works, proving modern can be done in any context.

Just when you thought there wasn’t another corner of your life for Giorgio Armani to systematically make over (beyond your couch, your pantsuits, your orchids, your hand rolls, your hotel room and your chocolate truffles), the Italian fashion designer has slid into yet another: your European pied-à-terre. Cavour 220, unveiled Thursday in Rome, is a residence project featuring 63 full-service apartments that come chicly wrapped up in the minimal design trappings of Armani Casa
