Crackling crust, pillowy middle. The kind of bagel that earns a second cup of coffee.
Summary
London architecture studio Kasawoo has created The Root, a prefabricated holiday cabin in Greece. The 20-square-metre cabin is clad in deep-red timber planks, sits among olive groves on the island of Zakynthos, and is designed to be relocatable. The site has been in the family of co-founder Katie Kasabalis for decades and includes ruins of her grandmother's old stone house.
