Our Inspired Design<\/a> series looks at spectacular homes that have been profiled by Dwell<\/a> and pairs them with Tablet hotels that share a similar aesthetic \u2014 so you can experience the style for yourself.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Surrounded by the astonishing landscapes of Southern Iceland, a summer home by architecture studio Gl\u00e1ma K\u00edm underscores the region\u2019s natural beauty at every turn. The house itself is beautiful, but it\u2019s understated \u2014 made of concrete and wood \u2014 focused instead on giving its inhabitants optimal views of the scenery. In a breathtaking place like this, the ideal type of lodging must frame the spectacular vistas from every angle. <\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how Gl\u00e1ma K\u00edm did it (hint: the glazing helps, a lot):

The minimalist home never tries to compete with its surroundings.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The minimalist material palette is picked up on the interiors as well, where a black concrete fireplace plays off the polished aggregate concrete floors.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The use of wood softens the industrial feel of the concrete.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Hotel Inspirations<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re looking to enjoy a maximalist environment, stay in a minimalist hotel. The same concepts utilized by Gl\u00e1ma K\u00edm in Southern Iceland provide similarly ideal lodgings in stunning landscapes around the world.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

ION Adventure Hotel<\/h2>\n

Selfoss, Iceland<\/h5>\n

\"ION<\/a><\/p>\n

Itself set in Southern Iceland, sporting concrete walls and furniture of reclaimed driftwood, the Ion Adventure Hotel is as close as you\u2019ll get to the holiday home built by Gl\u00e1ma K\u00edm. The largely monochrome interior design is just the right, understated complement to the unearthly landscapes of lichen and lava fields that surround it. And of course huge glass walls line the common areas \u2014 the views are the emphasis here.<\/p>\n

\t<\/a>\n\t\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Consolaci\u00f3n<\/h2>\n

Monroyo, Spain<\/h5>\n

\"Consolaci\u00f3n<\/a><\/p>\n

Sometimes compared to Tuscany \u2014 but without the hordes of tourists \u2014 Matarra\u00f1a\u2019s a region of Spain near enough the Mediterranean to support a lush, verdant landscape, with views you could pour yourself into for days on end. A boutique hotel called Consolaci\u00f3n takes full advantage, putting each room in a wooden cube at the edge of a bluff. Once there, each guest has their own own glass wall (and accompanying terrace) open to the view. <\/p>\n

\t<\/a>\n\t\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Awasi Patagonia<\/h2>\n

Torres del Paine, Chile<\/h5>\n

\"Awasi<\/a><\/p>\n

A cardboard box with a hole cut in it would do just fine in Patagonia, where the main attraction is the ephemeral mountain landscape. Fortunately, Awasi Patagonia provides just a tad more luxury than the hole-in-a-box concept. From the outside, the blond wood and geometric forms appear minimal. Once inside, the design is mind-blowing \u2014 a 50\/50 blend of rustic charm and modern gloss. But the point always remains in a place like this: you cannot compete with the landscape, only complement it. <\/p>\n
