Conseil+Arch

There are investments that merely follow market trends, and others that stand the test of time.
With FOR SALE, the new issue of CONSEIL+ARCH produced in collaboration with BARNES Italian Design, we have chosen to showcase eleven properties where value transcends mere location or price. These are places where architecture, landscape, and the art of living combine to create an enduring legacy.
From the Greek islands to the coast of Sardinia, and from the fincas of Ibiza to Saint Barthélemy in the Caribbean, each residence offers a unique interpretation of the relationship between design and nature. Some revitalize historic buildings, others engage in a dialogue with the topography, and some transform the sea itself into the very essence of the architecture. This is not simply a collection of villas for sale; it is a journey through eleven different ways of inhabiting the world and investing in places that retain their value over time. After all, the finest properties are those that tell a story, and continue to do so, generation after generation.

In the Utah desert, Amangiri interprets living as a continuous dialogue with the local geology, transforming the silence and vastness of the land into the true protagonists of the experience. Designed by MASASTUDIO within the iconic resort, the villa unfolds through a horizontal composition that follows the natural contours of the land. Stone, wood, mineral plasters, and large glass surfaces create a constant relationship between interior and exterior, allowing light and atmosphere to shape the spaces throughout the day. The six suites, courtyards, and terraces extend domestic life towards the landscape, while each space is conceived as a threshold leading the gaze towards the desert. Wellbeing also arises from this relationship with nature. Pools, relaxation areas, and the resort's wellness experiences, inspired by ancient Navajo healing traditions, invite you to slow down and reconnect with the rhythm of the landscape, amid canyons, ancient rocks, and infinite skies. More than a desert retreat, Amangiri expresses a concept of hospitality where architecture chooses to retreat, allowing time, light, and geology to shape the experience of the place.

There are places where hospitality doesn't build new landscapes, but rather breathes new life into existing ones. In the heart of AlUla's Old Town, Dar Tantora transforms an ancient rammed earth settlement into a boutique hotel deeply rooted in the oasis' history.
Designed by Shahira Fahmy, the project restores historic homes where mud, stone, and traditional construction techniques naturally regulate light, temperature, and comfort. Here, luxury is born from materials and time, while alleys, courtyards, and terraces preserve the city's original identity. Wellness also follows this philosophy. The spa offers treatments inspired by local traditions and the oasis' resources, in dialogue with the desert landscape. The hotel's name recalls the tantora, the ancient sundial that marked the life of the community for centuries, while the Al Joontos restaurant and the work of artisans and restorers maintain a strong connection with the local area.
Dar Tantora embodies an increasingly rare form of hospitality: one born from inhabiting history, materials, and landscape, without altering their identity.
