Japi House sits in Jundiaí, SP, Brazil, a contemporary house by UNA Barbara e Valentim that turns to the foothills of Serra do Japi for cues.

Villa Áurea lands on a Tamarindo, Costa Rica hillside with a broad, curving roof and pavilion rooms tuned to the breeze.

Beach House: Lake Archambault Residence sits on the shore of Lake Archambault in Québec, Canada, a new house by Ghoche architecte.

Iron Chef sits in Australia, a new house by Das Studio calibrated for a family of makers.

Casa Lua lands in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, with a poised urban presence and a clear view toward the Serra do Curral.

Summersault House sets a clear rhythm in Sydney, Australia, where James Garvan Architecture reshapes a family house around light, circulation, and everyday rituals.

The sequence leans on a tall atrium, polycarbonate cladding, and clean white interiors that move easily between garden and room.
