House 2.0 is a three-level house in Ecuador by CORREA+FATEHI ODD. The project reinterprets Andean vernacular with adobe made from on-site earth and rammed earth cuts that stage the approach. With a ventilated masonry skin that modulates temperature and light, the residence moves between solid and porous—by day a shaded monolith, by night a lantern—while a vertical living room eases circulation and expands daily use.
Damnak Soriya sets a raised, light-washed profile against the foothills of Kampot, Cambodia. Designed by Re : Edge Architecture as a three-bedroom house within the Amaya enclave, it draws on Khmer vernacular and the mountain setting to shape daily life. The two-story platform frame makes room for breezes, shaded outdoor rooms, and long views, folding vacation ease into a plan built for climate and community.
House on Sag Harbor sits on the western shore of Sag Harbor Bay in Sag Harbor, New York, United States. Designed by 1100 Architect, the new family house adopts a clear, barn-inspired plan that links daily life with water, meadow, and trees. Two rectangular wings meet at right angles and open onto a waterside terrace, a screened porch, and a path to a modest mid-century cottage by the shore.

Kokako Heights House sits above Matatā, New Zealand, with a clear view to the coast and native bush. Designed by Arkhē in 2024, the house reads as a modest, site-led composition focused on light, breeze, and careful orientation. This compact house places rooms along the land’s edges and pulls the living areas toward the view, trading excess for clarity and durable, low-energy comfort.
Naxxar House sits in Naxxar, Malta, where AP Valletta recasts an 18th-century palazzino as a contemporary house.

Palm Springs House stands on Toronia Court in the Bay of Plenty, New Zealand, designed by Arkhé as a house composed around courtyard living and climate sense.
