Architects Alex Michaelis and Tim Boyd are known for their site-sensitive and highly contextual approach to design. Their houses, hotels, and escapist havens are thoughtful responses to unique settings, with designs that draw inspiration from, above all, nature and the natural world. Coupled with a long-standing commitment to sustainability and low carbon solutions, Michaelis Boyd's buildings respect the environment while seeking to serve the needs of residents and guests in a considered manner that emphasizes individuality, cohesion, and bespoke design.
At the same time, Alex Michaelis and Tim Boyd have gradually expanded upon their residential work, which has always been at the heart of the practice. There have been a series of landmark hotels, restaurants and bars, as well as members' clubs and retreats, which tend to adopt concepts and comforts traditionally associated with our own homes.
New Natural Living concentrates on these fresh and ambitious projects, including both private houses and enticing escapes. The common thread across the twenty projects included in the book is a focus upon the natural world and architecture that offers a vivid sense of connection between inside and outside space.
