(Hint: Wear several hats – and don’t sweat the small stuff)

It’s All Material • From unusual natural surfaces to ultra-modern takes on terrazzo, manufacturers are leaving no stone unturned – literally – when it comes to supplying designers

AT FULL TILT • Given creative freedom but a limited budget, Chile’s Alejandro Aravena reconceives the beach house with a pair of primitive monoliths as rugged and austere as their seaside perch
