Suspended House Open to Nature sits in Puilly-et-Charbeaux, France, at the base of a wooded hillside where the ground falls quickly into shade. Atelier Victoria Migliore works with the existing house and a new suspended extension to draw in light, clear away visual noise, and reconnect the domestic setting to its valley landscape. A once-heavy structure now reads as both grounded and airborne.

The restoration and redevelopment of a barchessa in Mantua transforms an abandoned agricultural building into a refined and spacious home in Mantua, Italy.

House of Quiet Balance sets a low, composed tone from the moment someone steps into this house in Kolhāpur, India by ORV Architecture. The residence arranges pale stone floors, blond wood, and quiet textiles into a restrained interior that feels both urban and deeply relaxed.

Villa Lyla stands on the canal edge of Nassau, Bahamas, as a private house shaped by SAOTA around water, gardens, and measured calm.

PAVILION SESTIG stands in Belgium as a Modernist pavilion reassessed by architect Glenn Sestig for both work and living.

Fanos Guesthouse sets four semi-autonomous apartments on a Cycladic hillside in Greece, a residential complex by A SOUL shaped by wind, light, and water.

Small gestures in plan and material tune the complex to the climate while keeping the experience relaxed and legible.

In a Park sits in Singapore, Singapore as a compact home reworked by L ARCHITECTS for a client whose life now orbits around plants.

TerraSense Mountain Charm Retreat stands within the rugged Serra da Estrela landscape in Guarda, Portugal, reworking two pre-existing houses into a rural refuge by DRK Architects.

Guests move through rooms that retain echoes of former homes while opening toward long views and a slower rhythm of stay.
