Point Lonsdale House sits in Queenscliff, Australia, as a grounded coastal house by Field Office Architecture for a semi-retired couple planning their forever home. The four-bedroom retreat leans into a quiet modernism that honors its proximity to the historic Ballara estate while opening to sun, garden, and sea air. Long-term function, gentle materiality, and a careful response to orientation shape a place tuned to daily life and changing seasons.
Jaffe House Restoration rethinks a much-loved coastal house in New York, United States, bringing new clarity to Norman Jaffe’s 1978 work under architect Neil Logan. The project concentrates on the interior layout and connections to the courtyard and ocean, replacing piecemeal alterations with a coherent sequence of rooms that sharpen light, material, and everyday circulation. Historic fabric remains present, but the lived experience shifts toward a calmer, more legible rhythm.
AFL Port Praski unfolds as a richly layered apartment on the fringes of Krakow, Poland, shaped by Mistovia for two graphic designers and their dogs.

Inside, simple furnishings and soft textures keep the focus on light, volume and the everyday rhythm of a single household.
Casa Horizonte sits on the coast of Manabí, Ecuador, as a house whose weight and quiet presence mark the threshold between land and ocean.

The result is a coastal dwelling shaped as much by material and labor as by view and air.

Every move ties the compact rectangular plan back to nature, history, and craft.
