Felicity House steps out from the hills of Kyiv, Ukraine as a confident contemporary house by YOUSUPOVA. The project translates the sloping terrain into layered interiors where grand volumes open toward water and greenery. Inside, a restrained palette of dark wood, stone, and soft textiles underscores the building’s sculpted form while framing long views across the site.

Counterpoint House places a retired entrepreneur’s new chapter in a contemporary house in Germany, where Ippolito Fleitz Group – Identity Architects choreographs the interiors. Working within Thomas Fabrinsky Architekten’s low-slung bungalow, the studio leans into bold colour, precise material combinations and crafted detailing to support daily rituals and long views. The result is a residence tuned to both introspection and sociable gatherings, with landscape, pool and interior volumes held in deliberate tension.

E30 – House in Caesarea sits in Caesarea, Israel, by architect Raz Melamed as a pool-centered house conceived first as a weekend retreat. The project grows into a full-time home for an extended family, where a disciplined structural idea and a restrained interior palette hold together generous rooms for gathering and quiet corners for rest. Calm surfaces and one decisive black beam tie every level into a clear, legible whole.

Relaxound is a vivid new office in Berlin, Germany, by Bruzkus Greenberg that treats work as a mix of social exchange and concentrated focus. The project reshapes a double-height volume with intimate rooms and a fresh mezzanine, giving the company a physical home that reinforces its relaxed brand and shared culture. Color, light, and acoustic control shape how people move, gather, and withdraw over the course of the day.

Casa Ona anchors a layered renovation by Paloma Bau Studio in Valencia, Spain, reworking a 1925 fishing house in the historic Cabanyal district. The project refines a once dark, partitioned dwelling into a coastal home where sand-toned floors, surf-ready storage, and Mediterranean textures echo the owner’s seafaring roots. Every room now orients daily life toward the nearby water and the memory of the neighborhood’s working past.

Vachnadziani Winery stands in the Alazani Valley of Vachnadziani, Georgia, where vineyards meet the distant line of the Caucasus Mountains. Designed by Laboratory of Architecture #3, the winery folds production, hospitality, and ritual into a single sculpted volume that reads more like an estate than a factory. Guests move from landscape to interior as if passing through a contemporary echo of Georgia’s long winemaking tradition.

Shift House sets a calm tone from the threshold, where pared-back surfaces and pale light define a quietly disciplined house in Odesa, Ukraine. Designed by Dmitriy Sivak for a large family, the project leans into minimalism with a single palette of wood, ceramics, and natural fabrics that runs through every room. The result feels restrained yet generous, with comfort drawn from proportion, material warmth, and careful handling of natural light rather than decoration.

Tourville sets a quiet rhythm in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, France, where Studio Patrick Martins refines the classic Haussmannian apartment into a composed retreat. The 85 sqm home balances generous views of the École Militaire with a carefully tuned material palette, framing a family setting that feels both urbane and relaxed. Across living room, balcony, kitchen, and bedrooms, each room carries its own mood while still speaking the same calm visual language.
