Bend Hideaway sets a crisp modern house against the wooded edge of Bend, OR, United States, by San Francisco–based Feldman Architecture. The retreat supports recent empty nesters and their visiting family with a linear plan that folds around a lap pool, guest rooms, and shared rooms tuned to forest views. Here, an active daily rhythm meets a quiet, highly edited relationship to the 650-acre preserve next door.

B01 unfolds across a full-floor apartment in Bydgoszcz, Poland, shaped by CXA into a raw yet refined penthouse that reads like a private gallery. Concrete, a black central volume, and curated artworks structure daily life, while concealed systems keep the rooms visually calm. Each area—from the living room library to the child’s mezzanine—extends the same disciplined aesthetic into a rich, highly personal home.

Penthouse with 360° Ocean Views crowns a residential tower in Brazil, where architect Simara Melo shapes an expansive vacation apartment for a young entrepreneurial family. Panoramic Atlantic and city views wrap the single-level layout, which separates social and private zones while holding a pool, gourmet area, and covered terrace. Neutral materials, custom furnishings, and integrated technology keep the rooms bright, practical, and calm for holidays that easily slide into everyday living with three children.

Sky House transforms a tired 1970s house in South West England, United Kingdom into a rigorously updated family home by Klas Hyllen Architecture. The project turns a once-confusing layout into two clear volumes linked by glass, pairing super-insulated construction and triple glazing with vast views of shifting English sky. Inside, contemporary minimalism meets warmth and color as the retrofit aligns daily life with ambitious low-energy performance.

Casa L5 sits in Poble Nou de Benitatxell, Alicante, Spain, as a coastal house by Pasqual Giner Arquitectura that turns directly toward the sea horizon. The project, developed with Auñón Cabrera, brings architecture, interiors, and material choices into one measured composition where the view drives every move. White planes, stone plinths, and warm wood set a quiet tone for daily life overlooking the Mediterranean.

Scho’s House sits on the edge of Theux, Belgium, where a residential street meets open farmland and the valley beyond. Crahayjamaigne shapes a compact three-level house that treads lightly on the steep terrain, pressing stone volumes into the hillside and setting timber-clad living areas above them. The result is a measured rural dwelling that balances long valley views with a quiet presence at the boundary of town and field.

Pine Residences sits among tall trunks in Saint-Ferréol-les-Neiges, Canada, where Agence Spatiale shapes a house in three quiet pavilions around an internal courtyard. From a discreet street frontage, the composition slowly reveals a warm, pared-back interior that leans on glass, light wood, and views of the forest to set the rhythm of daily life.

Mexico and “Vucciria” transforms an existing apartment in Palermo, Italy into a narrative interior by Vid’A, shaped around memory, color, and everyday ritual. The project draws on the client’s formative journey to Mexico and the dense urban character of Palermo’s Vucciria quarter, translating those impressions into rooms that compress and release, invite conversation, and keep family life at the forefront.
