The Stair House is a family home in Edmonton, Canada, shaped by NAKO Design in close collaboration with a client who’s an architect himself. Behind a modest brick façade, the house orchestrates four levels through a sequence of sculptural stairs and quiet rooms, setting a composed rhythm for daily life. The project reads as both workshop and dwelling, where material precision meets a warm, livable plan.
Casa A is an apartment by Pierattelli Architetture in Florence, Italy, set inside the nineteenth‑century Palazzo Stefanelli. Within this storied envelope, the studio completes a full interior restyling that honors historic craft while asserting a clear contemporary voice. The result is a luminous home arranged around a sociable living room, with refined finishes, calibrated color, and a measured collection of Italian furnishings guiding the mood and daily rhythm.
Apartment K sits in Hodonín, Czech Republic, shaped by GRAU architects for a young family. The apartment began as two smaller units, combined before building completion to give rare freedom over layout and finish. Rooms now open to one another with measured clarity, trading clutter for calm surfaces and tactile materials. Walnut, travertine, and crisp white cabinetry set the tone, while soft textiles and layered lighting lend practical warmth for daily life.
Beach House: Lake Archambault Residence sits on the shore of Lake Archambault in Québec, Canada, a new house by Ghoche architecte. Composed as a low, quiet arrangement of volumes, the project turns to light, water, and native planting rather than overt expression. The result reads as a clear coastal gesture tuned to a northern lake climate.
Iron Chef sits in Australia, a new house by Das Studio calibrated for a family of makers. The commission rethinks an inner-suburban block hemmed by heritage controls and two significant river red gums. Inside, a robust palette aligns with the client’s steel fabrication know-how while the plan respects a generous tree protection zone, translating context into structure and daily life.
Project 21 lands in Ancaster, Canada, with a quiet confidence and an eye on longevity. Designed by SMPL Design Studio as a house for a young family, it leans into calm materials, measured asymmetry, and tailored millwork to set a restorative tone. The result favors warmth over gloss and movement over fuss, with curved gestures and tactile finishes threading through rooms meant to evolve as daily rhythms change.
Casa Lua lands in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, with a poised urban presence and a clear view toward the Serra do Curral. TETRO Arquitetura organizes the house as four stacked levels on a steep slope, each one reading as a belvedere. The real estate type is a house, yet the layout stretches beyond a typical domestic plan, binding daily life to the horizon and the moonrise that clears the mountains.
Retreat in the Heart of the Dolomites is a two-level retreat in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy, by Parisotto+Formenton Architetti. Set within a historic ciasa, the project balances local building heritage with a quietly contemporary interior palette shaped by wood, light, and crafted pieces. The result reads as a measured Alpine home, made for unhurried days and clear mountain air.
