DWS Kochanowskiego unfolds inside an 80-square-meter (861-square-foot) apartment in Gdańsk, Poland, where Raca Studio works within a pre-war tenement envelope. The renovation respects the existing layout while restoring long-covered elements, giving a young pair of doctors a home that aligns new comforts with historic character. Warm tones, reawakened timber, and a measured mid-century mood tie the old structure to their daily routines.
Villa Parque recasts a late-19th-century house in Barcelona, Spain as a contemporary family home by h3o architects. The renovation treats the detached house as a place to reconnect with neighborhood roots while opening it to light, garden, and shared daily life. Across two primary levels and a deep rear garden, the project balances generous proportions with an intimate, enveloping atmosphere tailored to a couple beginning a new chapter.
Dye Fore 1 rises on the Dye Fore Golf Course in La Romana, Dominican Republic, shaped by Acebal Canney Arquitectos & Asociados as a residence tuned to land and light. The angular house stretches across the irregular plot, opening broad views toward the fairways, Altos de Chavón River, and distant horizon. Water, art, and breeze-driven comfort set the tone for a home conceived as both retreat and living gallery.
Georgian Bay Beach House sits on the Canadian shoreline as a contemporary reading of a familiar cottage type, shaped by &Pierre with quiet precision and warmth. The house translates aging-in-place principles into a layered domestic setting, where neutral materials, coastal light, and careful planning guide daily rituals across three levels. It reads as calm and deeply rooted, yet prepared for changing needs over time.
Casa BLTB crowns the top floor of a 1960s residential block in Milan, Italy, reimagined by Studio ApiuM as a vibrant apartment for contemporary city life. Two sweeping partitions shape a generous living area and conceal service rooms, while color, texture, and custom furniture draw the eye back toward the panoramic balcony that wraps the building. Each room carries a distinct mood yet speaks fluently to the apartment’s playful new rhythm.
House with a View in Hinterbrühl steps down the hillside above Hinterbrühl, Austria, giving a clear vantage over forest and valley. Caramel Architekten shapes the house as a stacked sequence of terraces, glazed rooms, and circulation routes that follow the terrain. Across its levels, the project reads as a precise response to slope and view rather than a single object on the land.
The Croft sets a contemporary profile on the hillside above Warminster, United Kingdom, where Western Design Architects shape a compact house around long south-facing views.

Sliding glass, pale finishes, and a shaded balcony keep the house bright yet controlled through changing English weather.
Lavra House stands on a narrow urban lot in Matosinhos, Portugal, where WER Studio rethinks how a family home meets the Atlantic climate. The house inverts the conventional layout, dropping bedrooms to the ground floor and lifting social rooms to higher levels to gain privacy, light, and air. Across concrete, steel, and timber, the project choreographs daily life around a central stair and a rooftop terrace with pool.
