Vollerup Atrium House stands in a meadow near Nykøbing Sjælland, Denmark, where Jan Henrik Jansen shapes a calm second home from stone, timber, and sky. The house extends a Danish couple’s life beyond their inner-city apartment, giving their family a coastal retreat that also supports remote work. It reads as both refuge and outpost, with an inward-looking atrium balanced by long views toward the water and surrounding trees.
House of Cross stands in Beijing, China, as a new kind of rural house designed by chaoffice for three generations under one broad courtyard sky. The project rebuilds a family home and home office on a village plot, working within strict single-story regulations while rethinking how courtyards, roofs, and rooms connect daily life. Its cross-shaped plan sets up a quiet but precise geometry for shared routines and private retreats.
Casa Viale Della Tecnica sits in Rome’s E.U.R. district, where Maria Adele Savioli Architettura reworks a rationalist-era apartment into a contemporary, finely tuned residence. The 160-square-metre home unfolds around existing concrete and Venetian floors, setting a calm backdrop for custom furniture, crafted surfaces, and a renewed relationship between interior rooms and the wraparound terrace. Everyday life anchors the project, yet the material decisions push it into a richer, more considered register.
Villa Colucci stands in Fasano, Italy, where Francesco Mastrororsa guides the careful revival of a historic villa turned hotel rich with art and memory. High ceilings, patterned cement tiles, and the red facade frame interiors layered with Danish and international artworks, antiques, and contemporary pieces that bring the restored rooms to life. Guests step into a place where craftsmanship, history, and daily hospitality quietly intertwine.
Masseria San Lorenzo anchors a 19th-century farmstead on the outskirts of Ostuni, Italy, brought back to life by studio Flore & Venezia. The project restores a rural complex of stone volumes among ancient olive trees, reworking its rooms for contemporary comfort while holding tight to the building’s agricultural past. Every move is calibrated, from the revived facades to the reorganized interiors, so daily life flows easily between the house and the surrounding land.
Carbon Holding introduces a flowing, contemporary office in Istanbul, Türkiye, crafted by OSO Architecture for Carbon Holding and Nomad. Curved rooms, soft light, and generous glazing set an animated tone from reception through to the terrace, while warm timber and vivid accents ground the interiors. Completed in 2025, the project brings a distinct visual identity to a workplace that balances transparency, privacy, and a sense of calm energy for daily collaboration.
House and Office in Hokusetsu places a family home and workplace along a tree-lined avenue in Osaka, Japan, under the direction of Fujiwaramuro Architects. The project stacks a concrete-tube living level above an aluminum-clad base with garage and office rooms, turning a height difference on the site into a clear split between domestic life and daily work. Inside, exposed concrete and filtered light shape a calm yet engaged urban setting.
Library in the Earth sinks quietly into the soil of Kurkku Fields in Japan, a working agricultural landscape shaped by Hiroshi Nakamura & NAP. Conceived as a library for farmers, the underground volume restores a damaged valley while sheltering readers in earthen rooms that follow the contours of the ground. Daily labor above and slow reading below share one continuous terrain of soil, water, and light.
