10M sets a calm residential agenda in Tokyo, Japan, where CUBO design architect places a house at the edge of greenery with distant sea views. The project draws a Japanese-American couple toward quieter days, aligning daily life to water and horizon. Within this house typology, a long pool and a measured entry sequence organize movement and sightlines, inviting the coastal landscape back into the rooms.
Casa FM is a new house in Porto, Portugal, by António Bessa Cruz Architects. Set on a former car repair shop near Agramonte Cemetery, the project replaces an inadequate structure with a ground-up build that preserves an industrial attitude. Loft-scale rooms, courtyards, and robust materials steer the conversion toward intimate daily living while keeping the workshop’s memory in view. It was designed in 2025.
Thornton Hasegawa House sits in Wellington, New Zealand, a compact two-bedroom house by Bonnifait + Associates: Atelierworkshop. The project presses into a steep site yet reads light and open, with off-grid muscle tucked into a 50 square meter (538 square foot) footprint. Built as a modest tower, it threads utility through warm interiors and a careful plan. The result feels agile, resilient, and quietly joyful.
Gul Melbourne is a house in Melbourne, Australia, designed by Nico van der Meulen Architects in 2023.

Inside, a pared-back palette of concrete, plaster, and oak supports art and daily life with crisp intent.
Concrete House occupies a steep lot in Goiânia, Brazil, where Dayala e Rafael Arquitetos Associados organize living across two tiered levels. The house reads as low, confident horizontals—social rooms flow at grade to a pool terrace, while a closed upper volume gathers the private rooms. Structural clarity drives the project, using long spans, cantilevers, and a lean material palette to settle the home into its terrain without heavy earthwork.
Casa Yakisugi sits in Sorisole, Italy, where the foothills of Bergamo shape its outlook and rhythm. Designed by Edoardo Milesi & Archos in 2022, the single-family house turns toward the garden and the mountain horizon rather than the surrounding residential fabric. Charred larch, fair-faced concrete, and a pale birch interior set a clear dialogue between sturdy enclosure and warm refuge.
6 HPP Ses Veles Puigpunyent lands in Puigpunyent, Spain as a compact multi unit housing project by Fortuny-Alventosa Morell Arquitectes. The two-level, gable-roofed building folds six dwellings around patios and terraces, pairing passive performance with an island supply chain. It leans on vernacular craft and a clean construction logic to cut impact without frills. The tone is quiet, the ambition is clear.
Periscope House is a house in Toronto, Canada, designed by Atelier RZLBD for a young family seeking a more personal, sustainable way to live. The project renovates a one-story bungalow and strategically adds a partial second floor, using subtraction as a tool for light, height, and clarity. What began as a straightforward addition becomes a study in restraint and sequence, with voids pulling daylight deep into the plan and giving the street a memorable new profile.
