New retro’ unfolds as a vivid apartment in Marano di Napoli, Italy, shaped by architect Carmine Abate for clients with an unapologetically fashion-driven brief. Inside this elevated home, color, gloss, and tactility steer everyday life while wide sliders open the rooms to a sweeping terrace facing Vesuvio. The result is a residential interior that treats pattern, light, and material as an expressive toolkit rather than quiet background.
Itaca House reimagines a Roman apartment as a villa-scaled house in the city, crafted by Studio Strato in Rome, Italy.

The project threads everyday family life through a central square core, where living, dining, and quiet corners unfold in a continuous, light-washed sequence.
Ayoughi House unfolds in a park-like garden in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, where Philipp Architekten BDA choreographs architecture, interiors, and landscape as one coherent whole.

Across its rooms, everyday routines meet clear structure, and the result feels measured rather than grand.

Each residence balances open living and quiet bedrooms, establishing a composed urban retreat above the street.
House on the Lake sits on the west banks of Lake Memphremagog in Magog, Canada, where Atelier Échelle pairs contemporary rigor with rural memory.

The Brecon reimagines the Alpine hotel in Adelboden, Switzerland, under the eye of Amsterdam-based studio Nicemakers. This adult-only retreat translates the easy generosity of a friend’s chalet into a crafted hospitality experience, fusing contemporary comfort with echoes of its 1950s–60s Waldhaus past. Timber, stone, leather, and wool anchor a calm palette, while intimate rooms, a sensory spa, and a sociable dining room keep guests held within the mountain village rhythm.
Le Fenil sets a low, assured line across the fields of Québec, Canada, where naturehumaine [architecture+design] grounds a new rural house in former farmland.

Inside, an edited material palette and clear plan organize family routines around a bright central living core that stays closely tied to the open landscape.
Villa Jondal sits on the wild edge of Mykonos, Greece, shaped by Bobotis+Bobotis Architects as a low-slung house tuned to the Aegean light.

Generous terraces, shaded lounges, and simple interiors create a calm setting for life between pool and beach.
