Mustard Building stands in Vila Real de Santo António, Portugal, where Aurora Arquitectos works within strict heritage rules to extend an existing urban house. The new four-floor volume turns a protected city-center plot into a compact residential complex, drawing on calm interiors and generous openings to the patio. Here, measured gestures reshape daily life without losing sight of the original rose-hued story.
Apartment on Fabryczna Street in Kraków is a family apartment in Poland, shaped by One Desk around books, art, and a gentle palette. The project turns a northwest-corner unit in a new residential building into a calm, flexible home that feels intentionally unfinished, leaving room for furniture to move, collections to grow, and routines to shift over time.
Casa RoMi transforms an apartment in Chiuduno, Italy into a calm yet expressive interior for contemporary living. Designed by Andrea Pagani, the renovation keeps the building’s original stone and timber shell visible while layering in sharp, minimal interventions. Clean cabinetry, a dark monolithic island and precise lighting sit against rough stone and warm oak, setting up a clear dialogue between past structure and present comfort in a compact open-plan home.
Melissa Villas is a hotel set among olive groves outside Chania, Greece, shaped by designer Evi Kotsou as a bright, low-slung retreat. Stone walls, timber balconies, and long terraces gather around the pools, while generous glazing pulls the Cretan light deep into the interiors. Inside, a warm neutral palette, woven textures, and tailored furniture frame an easy rhythm between shaded outdoor decks and quietly composed rooms.
Buddha’s House turns an apartment in Neihu, Taipei, Taiwan into a hybrid gallery and residence by designer Peny Hsieh. The project arranges a substantial Vajrayana Buddharupa collection within a calm, contemporary interior that still respects ritual and display. Living, meditating, and viewing art happen in rooms that read as both home and micro-museum, where light, shadow, and a measured palette guide the eye and settle the mind.
Room Mate Luca sits in the historic heart of Florence, Italy, shaped by interior designer Luis Garcia Fraile as a contemporary counterpoint to its neoclassical shell. The boutique hotel combines custom wallpapers, velvet textures, and polished brass with modern comfort to welcome guests a short walk from the city’s major cultural landmarks. Each room and shared area turns Florentine energy into a tactile, urban hospitality experience.
Jänkä Resort sets its hotel deep in Finland, where snowbound forest presses close to glass and timber. Designed by Fyra, the project turns shared interiors into an experiential journey that links guests to nature, Lappish culture, and each other. A generous restaurant, layered lobby, and safari lounge shape a warm sequence that balances rugged materials with soft light and finely tuned details.
Casa Ruffino stands within the Poggio Casciano estate in Bagno a Ripoli, Italy, where b-arch studio reshapes hospitality against the ordered Chianti hills. The hotel project translates the Ruffino brand into rooms and salons that balance historic architecture with measured contemporary interventions. Guests move through interiors tuned to color, light, and texture, finding a calm rhythm between working winery and refined retreat.
