Thomas Phifer is a really interesting practice that creates elegant, exquisitely detailed buildings. Unfortunately their site won't allow me to post their pictures...

Design for a restaurant embedded into the side of a hill. Kind of like a 'non-building'.

Simple and elegant office building in Brazil.

Interesting information, with videos about how this was created.

Another fantastic winery, again a fabulous piece of contexturtalism. This one is in Mexico.

Fantastic minimalistic winery!

Beautifully detailed covered market in Slovenia. This isn't something that could be done in the UK with the type of general tat we tend to see in markets in the UK - in my opinion.

Elegant industrial architecture that unobtrusively blends into the environment

Really interesting Turkish Print Factory.
