GF House sits in Itupeva, SP, Brazil, where Padovani Arquitetos shapes a lakefront house around a precise T-shaped plan and layered volumes. The residence unfolds as a sequence of social and private rooms oriented to the water, with landscaping and material choices reinforcing a quiet, contemporary character. Inside, earthy tones, generous ceiling heights, and a glass-walled wine cellar anchor a warm approach to everyday living and leisure.

East End Ave. Residence reworks a 19th-floor apartment in New York, NY, United States with a measured hand from The Turett Collaborative. The renovation turns a post-war high-rise shell into a personal home that navigates low ceilings, long views, and an inherited structure with quiet precision. Existing pieces and new interventions meet in a clear sequence of rooms that favors art, daylight, and an easy daily rhythm for longtime clients.

Vitus Headquarters / 2607 2nd Avenue brings an adaptive office renewal to Seattle, WA, United States, shaped by Graham Baba Architects for a mission-driven housing company. Inside the former 1920s timber-and-masonry structure, the firm organizes retail, workplace, and penthouse levels into a cohesive daily environment that balances work, art, and gathering across four floors. The result is a workplace that reads as both civic and personal in tone.

House J sits in the western mountains of Beijing, China, where Atelier About Architecture reshapes a long-familiar house into a layered retreat for a scattered family. The freestanding house reworks its original shell into a series of gardens, halls, and rooms that hold changing generations together while keeping everyday life quietly independent. Light, topography, and an enduring courtyard structure the project’s new rhythm of return.

Los Feliz Contemporary anchors a reimagined 1950 house in Los Angeles, United States, reshaped by Studio Emblem & Co. for art-collecting clients seeking a new West Coast chapter. The project turns a once-heavy Spanish Revival interior into a luminous, gallery-caliber home, where California light, contemporary furnishings, and carefully tuned rooms support both daily rituals and a serious collection. Every move reflects a shared desire to root their modern life in the city’s creative energy.

Casa da Rocha Quebrada sits on the southern coast of São Miguel in Lagoa, Portugal, a concrete house by SO Arquitetura & Design. The project belongs to the parents of one of the studio’s founders, so the brief strips back every nonessential move and pairs a mineral exterior with a warmer interior. Exposed concrete, sheltered openings, and a simple plan respond to the harsh Atlantic edge without losing a sense of quiet domestic life.

Palmento reimagines an ancient grape-processing palmento in Ragusa, Italy as a restaurant led by architect Giuseppe Iacono. Thick stone walls, timber roofs, and the ghosts of vats frame a new ritual of dining that keeps the building’s rural character present. Guests cross a low stone threshold and move between gardens, halls, and courtyards as the project works with layers of history rather than wiping them away.

Ridge House settles between field and forest in Owen Sound, Canada, where superkül shapes a rural house around slope, wind, and long horizontal views. The project treats the ridge as both datum and shelter, using a singular roofline to gather four-season rooms that stay close to the ground and even closer to the surrounding woods. Inside, calm finishes and controlled light keep the focus on climate, texture, and the slow movement of the day.
