House 720 Degrees stands in Valle de Bravo, Mexico, as an off-grid house by Fernanda Canales Arquitectura shaped around climate, light, and terrain. The project draws two families and their guests into a circular sequence that tracks sun, rain, and daily temperature swings with the precision of a solar clock. Its courtyard core, detached volumes, and earthen walls keep the remote valley both sheltered and wide open.
ShoeBox CHB sits in Montreal, Canada, where Alexandre Bernier Architecte reworks a modest shoebox house into a light-filled residence for contemporary family life.

Inside, measured materials and clear circulation keep the focus on light, vegetation, and flexible gathering rooms for a growing household.

Across three staggered volumes, each residence navigates the gradient with its own sequence of rooms, balconies, and outdoor courts.
The Catcher stands on the outskirts of Shanghai, China, where rice fields press close to the walls of a once-ordinary rural compound.

Guests move between interior and landscape in measured steps, watching the fields slide past as the architecture folds around them.

Casa RF anchors a new country house in Salve, Italy, where the Ionian breeze meets dry-stone walls. Designed by Valentina Soncini, the home reimagines the traditional Liama Salentina as a calm retreat for an owner who returns south whenever she can.

Continuous white surfaces and precise volumes underline a calm, contemporary character rooted in clarity rather than excess.
