Pak Chong House sits on an elevated plot in Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand, where S+S Architects draw the house out toward long farmland and mountain views. Designed as a private residence, the project balances exposure and shade while leaning into the owner’s preference for a Modern Japanese aesthetic, with wood-rich interiors that stay calm even in the hot afternoon sun.
Hollywood Hills House steps down a steep Los Angeles, United States hillside with a cinematic sense of arrival shaped by Mutuus Studio. The house compresses at entry, then opens toward wide city views as industrial surfaces and old-world references fold into a compact family plan. Every level feels choreographed, from the secret garden bridge to the lower guest rooms, yet the sequence stays intuitive and grounded in daily life.
PCG House sets a composed horizontal line against the light of Loulé, Portugal, where Visioarq Arquitectos grounds a contemporary house in its sloping terrain. Glass, terraces, and a long infinity pool open the rooms toward the southern horizon, while careful solar orientation shapes how the family moves through the day. The result is a residence tuned to climate and view without losing clarity of form.
Brandilera House sets a coastal rhythm in Nayarit, Mexico, where Manuel Cervantes Estudio draws the house around sea light and dense Pacific vegetation. The project, created in collaboration with James Perse, organizes a resort-scale home as a series of pavilions that open toward a central garden and the horizon. Daily life stretches between interior comfort, shaded outdoor rooms, and long views over the water.
Baw Beese sets a quiet scene on the shoreline of Hillsdale, United States, where Disbrow Iannuzzi organizes a vacation retreat for several generations at once. The project divides the house into smaller cabin-like volumes so grandparents, parents, and guests can share the property or live independently, moving between them through glazed links. Each wing holds its own rhythm, yet the whole compound stays tied to the lake, the trees, and long weekends together.
Chalet du Ruisseau sits on a wooded, sloping site in Potton, United Kingdom, where EM Architecture draws the house toward a stream and its mature trees. The chalet’s paired volumes, verandah, and terraces choreograph daily life between forest and water, while the owners’ mid-century modern pieces lend the interior a grounded, lived-in rhythm. Inside and out, the project turns vernacular cues into a calm, contemporary retreat.
House GM stands on the edge of Rosà, Italy as a composed concrete house by Didonè Comacchio Architects. The project arranges living and sleeping rooms around green patios, using solid and permeable surfaces to manage views, light, and privacy. Concrete, brick, and walnut set a restrained palette that lets the quiet shifts of daylight and courtyard greenery define the mood through the day.
Residencia Chavarria stands in Puntarenas, Puntarenas Province, Costa Rica, as a low, porous house by Carazo Arquitectura that trades thick walls for garden-filled thresholds. Composed around an interior courtyard and wrapped in modular brick, the home reads as a continuous exchange between enclosure and vegetation. Shifting between open and sheltered zones, it reworks domestic life for a humid coastal climate and lets everyday routines unfold in tandem with light, air, and greenery.
