Love to spend more time outdoors than indoors? Then, creating a backyard oasis that takes you away from the hustle and bustle of your day-to-day lives even while keeping you connected with your home is a great way to find that time outdoors. Staycations have become a hugely popular trend in the last couple of years, even more so after a global pandemic has forced us to stay indoors! The Barrenechea House Extension by Cafeina Design is a perfect example of one such gorgeous backyard escape that offers pretty much everything one can ask for – from a swimming pool and sauna to home office and guest rooms along with a terrace that allows the homeowners to enjoy unabated views.

This Bolivian retreat in Santa Cruz is clad in locally sourced raw clay bricks along with multiple metal beams that support the cantilevered upper structure beautifully. The clay bricks add a surreal red glow to the structure and separate it from the main house. Despite the use of traditional building materials, the interior of the building is modern and ergonomic with each of the spaces providing the homeowners exactly what they need. With a cool indoor-outdoor interplay, elevated platform and greenery all around, this backyard retreat is unlike any other. [Photography: Paul Renaud]
