This small cabin designed by Tomás de Iruarrizaga is located near Valdivia, Chile. It sits in the middle of the dense and humid Valdivian rainforest. The form is conceived as a compact and sharply defined volume — a prism with acute angles that contrasts strongly with its surroundings. Its interiors, made of laurel wood, are warm and tactile; everything feels like part of a built-in furnishing, much like the interiors of boats, where ribs and keels are exposed.
Crafted by Nicolas Loi Architects in 2025, Chicureo House encapsulates the spirit of contemporary living. Situated in Colina, Chile, this single-family residence gracefully overlooks the scenic vistas of a golf course in Las Brisas de Chicureo.
Located in Nova Lima, Brazil, Casa de Linho is a house designed in 2024 by TETRO Arquitetura. It tells the story of a fashion designer through architecture, as the curved concrete roof evokes stretched fabric. Beneath the roof, the home’s social areas reflect a dynamic lifestyle, while the contrasting slate facade at ground level provides a solid base for the lighter upper volume.
Located in Salvador, Brazil, VB Apartment spans 255 square meters. Designed by FRS Arquitetura, the space prioritizes expansive ocean views and generous daylight. The project features a minimal partition design and integrates natural materials, including Nogueira wood and limestone, elevating the apartment’s atmosphere. Signature modernist furniture pieces stand out against layers of personal items and art curation, promoting a strong connection to this unique space.
This address was designed to be a home in a gated community occupied mainly by leisure refuges, in the interior of São Paulo. The house sits on the contour lines of the plot like a pair of wings. Passarelli Arquitetos balanced a horizontal and intriguing project where straight lines predominate. While blending into the landscape, the house maintains its intimacy by means of its architectural features like its wide eaves, pergolas, and others.
Located in Paris, France, Apartment S is a sleek 93-square-metre (1,001-square-foot) flat with a minimalist design that reflects natural light across the space. Completed in 2018 by French studio Heros Architecture, the apartment features three main furniture pieces that create and organise the layout, which further highlights the space’s clean aesthetic.
Trulli Resolana was designed as a house by Lab36 Studio Associato and is located in Castellana Grotte, Italy. The project restores Apulian trulli—quaint, conical buildings—while adding a contemporary extension that connects via outdoor areas set among ancient olive and cherry trees. The architecture focuses on energy-saving strategies, features local materials and workmanship, and showcases a thoughtful dialogue between the historic cores and modern living spaces.
