Rooh anchors a holiday house in Malpe, India, by Thomas Parambil Architects, between river and Arabian Sea. The low-slung retreat turns away from the obvious postcard view to follow an east-west axis, wrapping daily life around a pool and long deck. Here, shared rooms merge in one open volume while bedroom suites pull back into quieter territory, giving family and friends a place to gather without losing a sense of retreat.
Casa Dos Playas sits between jungle and Pacific in Nosara, Costa Rica, a house by Salagnac Arquitectos that leans into earth, breeze, and shade. The project organizes family life across three low volumes, using fired clay brick and a lifted wood frame to temper heat and humidity while keeping daily routines close to the garden. Everything orients toward balance rather than spectacle, with construction choices driving both climate comfort and a calm interior mood.
Villa Imperiale rewrites expectations of residential luxury in Dubai, UAE, trading quiet minimalism for exuberant maximalism. Etereo Design shapes this house in Emirates Hills as a tailored home for a young European family, where vivid color, layered materials, and expressive objects frame daily life. Every room carries its own mood, yet the narrative threads back to a shared taste for Italian craft and unapologetically bold interior character.
Day House sets a Victorian home in Malvern, Melbourne, Australia into a new rhythm for contemporary living. IF Architecture reworks the historic residence and later addition into a layered family house that pairs restored character with a composed modern palette. Across garden-facing rooms, poolside terraces, and reconfigured interiors, the project builds a calm sequence where period detail, crafted joinery, and considered material shifts give each room its own clear mood.
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.
