E30 – House in Caesarea sits in Caesarea, Israel, by architect Raz Melamed as a pool-centered house conceived first as a weekend retreat. The project grows into a full-time home for an extended family, where a disciplined structural idea and a restrained interior palette hold together generous rooms for gathering and quiet corners for rest. Calm surfaces and one decisive black beam tie every level into a clear, legible whole.

Private Villa stands on the hills above Castellina Marittima, Italy, where ANDstudio Architects guide the restoration of a historic house into a layered rural retreat. The project pairs renewed structure and a new pool with expressive interiors, folding contemporary art, saturated color, and generous volumes into the villa’s long, arched rooms. Visitors move through vaulted halls and bright salons that keep the building’s past in view while easing present-day country life.

Clay Rise sits in the village of West Hoathly in West Sussex, United Kingdom, as a new three-bedroom house by architecture and interior practice Templeton Ford. The project grows from the hillside next to Andre Templeton Ford’s childhood home, translating the brick cottages and clay tiles of the area into a contemporary dwelling shaped for shared and evolving family life. Its calm presence masks a highly tuned, flexible arrangement within.

Halcyon House is a family house in Singapore by Ming Architects, conceived as a bright retreat for daily life and generous entertaining. A raised double-height living room, feature staircase, and car porch lounge anchor the home, while carefully chosen materials keep the interiors mellow and calm. The result is a layered composition where light, shadow, and volume shape how the family and their friends gather and move.

Hideaway House stands on an elevated plot in eastern Singapore, shaped by Ming Architects as both climate response and urban refuge. The house rises three metres above the street to meet flood regulations and push daily life away from the traffic, turning the main rooms inward toward filtered light, private gardens, and quiet views. An intricate skin of metal screens and natural finishes deepens the sense of withdrawal from the suburban row outside.

Oval House anchors a gated neighborhood in Buenos Aires, Argentina with a quiet yet assertive concrete presence by Jorgelina Tortorici & Asociados. The house wraps an internal oval courtyard, turning what could be a suburban perimeter into an inward-looking sequence of rooms and voids that balance openness, privacy, and controlled light. Everyday life gathers around this carved interior world, where marble, oak, and glass temper the rigor of the concrete shell.

Planted Pavilion extends a long-running architectural story on a Constantia estate in Cape Town, South Africa, by Malan Vorster Architecture Interior Design. This new pavilion settles into a steep hillside, linking restored house, acclaimed Tree House, and gym building through a historic poplar-lined wagon road. Across glass, planted roofs, and water, the project draws the wider landscape and Table Mountain views into everyday life on the property.

Shell is a courtyard house in Kyiv, Ukraine, conceived by Bezmirno as a quiet brick refuge on the edge of the city. Behind its monolithic shell, the home turns inward toward a planted patio, where light, texture, and family life concentrate around a single protected void. The project balances robust exterior architecture with a warm, flowing interior sequence tuned to daily rituals.
