Atria Institute in New York transforms a medical facility in New York, NY, United States into a residential-style retreat by Rockwell Group. The project folds preventive care, advanced diagnostics, and hospitality into a layered interior where travertine, walnut, and gold leaf frame a calm experience. Patients move from lobby to lecture garden and private suites with a sense of rhythm rather than rush, supported by precise material choices and controlled light.
Hayden House settles into a high Colorado valley above Aspen, CO, United States, where forest and meadow meet at 8,500 feet. Design Workshop shapes the house as a year-round family retreat, building on regenerative strategies that protect most of the land while framing long views to distant peaks. Inside and out, modular pavilions, planted roofs, and restored ground plane tie domestic life to the seasons without overwhelming the fragile montane setting.
Pinhal Conde da Cunha House stands in Seixal, Portugal, as a compact house by Estúdio AMATAM that turns a constrained plot into an articulated ensemble of volumes. The project pulls interior and exterior into a single gesture, using a continuous ribbon, a dark ceramic base, and a central void to choreograph how light, movement, and daily life unfold throughout the home.
Vollerup Atrium House stands in a meadow near Nykøbing Sjælland, Denmark, where Jan Henrik Jansen shapes a calm second home from stone, timber, and sky. The house extends a Danish couple’s life beyond their inner-city apartment, giving their family a coastal retreat that also supports remote work. It reads as both refuge and outpost, with an inward-looking atrium balanced by long views toward the water and surrounding trees.
House of Cross stands in Beijing, China, as a new kind of rural house designed by chaoffice for three generations under one broad courtyard sky. The project rebuilds a family home and home office on a village plot, working within strict single-story regulations while rethinking how courtyards, roofs, and rooms connect daily life. Its cross-shaped plan sets up a quiet but precise geometry for shared routines and private retreats.
Casa Viale Della Tecnica sits in Rome’s E.U.R. district, where Maria Adele Savioli Architettura reworks a rationalist-era apartment into a contemporary, finely tuned residence. The 160-square-metre home unfolds around existing concrete and Venetian floors, setting a calm backdrop for custom furniture, crafted surfaces, and a renewed relationship between interior rooms and the wraparound terrace. Everyday life anchors the project, yet the material decisions push it into a richer, more considered register.
Villa Colucci stands in Fasano, Italy, where Francesco Mastrororsa guides the careful revival of a historic villa turned hotel rich with art and memory. High ceilings, patterned cement tiles, and the red facade frame interiors layered with Danish and international artworks, antiques, and contemporary pieces that bring the restored rooms to life. Guests step into a place where craftsmanship, history, and daily hospitality quietly intertwine.
Masseria San Lorenzo anchors a 19th-century farmstead on the outskirts of Ostuni, Italy, brought back to life by studio Flore & Venezia.

Every move is calibrated, from the revived facades to the reorganized interiors, so daily life flows easily between the house and the surrounding land.
