Chwihoga is a hotel in Pyeongchang-gun, South Korea, designed by 100A associates in 2021. Set in a mountain village and grounded in the idea of recovery through staying, the project draws its identity from the site itself, from local tiger lore to a sloping terrain shaped by rock, trees, and the intersecting folds of surrounding mountains.
Vortex 21 stands in Betul, India, as a layered corporate headquarters by Neelesh Chopda Architecture that also folds in gathering spaces and family living. On a long plot running between two roads in the town center, the project treats the building as both workplace and public face, using section, facade, and garden to separate bustle from retreat.
Rizes Villas is a cottage complex in Pylos, Greece, designed by ARCHI4M in 2025. Set in a Mediterranean rural landscape, the project arranges stone-clad volumes, courtyards, and semi-open passages into a composition that stays close to the site rather than competing with it. Inside, warm materials and built-in elements carry the same measured approach, linking private rooms and shared spaces to terraces, gardens, and pools.
Horno de Pan sits on the hillside of Cerro Auqui in Quito, Ecuador, where Taller General shapes a small house around topography, views, and phased growth. Designed in 2026, the project begins as a compact dwelling and expands through a repeatable brick envelope, using load-bearing walls and a lowered vault to handle structure, roof, and enclosure in one construction system.
Cedar Creek Estate Winery is a restaurant and tasting destination in 5445, Lakeshore Road, Kelowna, Canada, designed by Arcanum Architecture. Set above Okanagan Lake, the project reads as a cluster of buildings rather than one large volume, with terraces and glazed openings tuned to the dry valley climate.
Swedens Most Beautiful Villa is a house in Östersund, Sweden, designed by Ross Arkitektur & Design in 2006. Set into the terrain on Frösön, it pairs sweeping circular forms with a strong material presence. The home’s upper floor opens to broad views, while its lower level is tucked into the slope.
Villa Nuri is a house in Cabo Velas District, Costa Rica, by Studio Saxe. Set on a hillside above the Pacific Ocean, it turns the slope into a vertical sequence of living areas, terraces, and views. Concrete, steel, wood, and planted edges work together to keep the home open to air and light while staying firmly tied to the terrain.
Miqua 34 is a flat in Milan, Italy, by Sciveres Guarini Associati. Set across the top two floors of a building in the historic centre, the renovation clears away a fragmented plan and brings new order to the rooms, the terrace, and the light that reaches through them.
