Carbon Holding introduces a flowing, contemporary office in Istanbul, Türkiye, crafted by OSO Architecture for Carbon Holding and Nomad. Curved rooms, soft light, and generous glazing set an animated tone from reception through to the terrace, while warm timber and vivid accents ground the interiors. Completed in 2025, the project brings a distinct visual identity to a workplace that balances transparency, privacy, and a sense of calm energy for daily collaboration.
House and Office in Hokusetsu places a family home and workplace along a tree-lined avenue in Osaka, Japan, under the direction of Fujiwaramuro Architects. The project stacks a concrete-tube living level above an aluminum-clad base with garage and office rooms, turning a height difference on the site into a clear split between domestic life and daily work. Inside, exposed concrete and filtered light shape a calm yet engaged urban setting.
Library in the Earth sinks quietly into the soil of Kurkku Fields in Japan, a working agricultural landscape shaped by Hiroshi Nakamura & NAP. Conceived as a library for farmers, the underground volume restores a damaged valley while sheltering readers in earthen rooms that follow the contours of the ground. Daily labor above and slow reading below share one continuous terrain of soil, water, and light.
Casa Chicago rises within a Chicago high-rise apartment, shaped by designer Pamela Carboni as a clear tribute to Italian craft and contemporary living. Set in the United States, the home gathers Italian-made furnishings and surfaces around wide city views, tying the owner’s passion for Italy to a life lived among skyscrapers. Each room folds personal travel memories into a refined urban atmosphere that still feels grounded and intimate.
A gutter system’s primary function is to collect rainwater from the property’s roof and channel it safely away from the house. When functioning correctly, gutters protect siding, windows and doors and even landscaping from water damage. They also serve to safeguard your home’s foundation, as proper water diversion is the first line of defense against factors such as soil erosion and hydrostatic pressure. Without an efficient gutter system, your home becomes vulnerable to serious structural issues and costly repairs.
Meadow House sits within the secluded Santa Lucia Preserve near Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA, United States, shaped by Mark English Architects. The house answers a multigenerational Korean-American family’s brief for a Californian home with a distinctly Korean heart, set against strict conservation rules and a powerful meadow landscape. What results is a low, Z-shaped residence where indoor-outdoor living, measured light, and layered privacy give daily life a deliberate rhythm.
House in Itabashi sits in a tight residential pocket of Tokyo, Japan, where TERRAIN architects rethinks how a family house meets the street. On a narrow plot close to central Tokyo, the three-story wooden home experiments with vertical light, layered thresholds, and a new kind of window depth to mediate daily life in a dense neighborhood.
R House sets an assertive profile in Pilar, Argentina, where Estudio GMARQ translates a large family’s ambitions into a disciplined house on a tight plot. The project organizes social life at grade, recreation and storage underground, and service rooms around planted courtyards, turning constraints of land and program into a clear three-level arrangement. Everyday routines stay compact, yet each zone gains light, air, and a sense of measured expansion.
