Trajetória is a renovated apartment in Brasília, Brazil, reimagined by Hersen Mendes Arquitetura for a family returning to the same block they once called home. Organized around everyday routes through the apartment, the project translates circulation, light, and shared rituals into a clear architectural narrative that connects entry, kitchen, and living areas. Along the way, each room responds to specific needs, from music gatherings to late-night work.

The Scultpted Penthouse crowns a residential tower in Taipéi, Taiwan, where interior designer Peny Hsieh turns a once-fragmented apartment into a sculptural, two-level refuge.

What emerges is a calm, contemporary apartment that frames the city’s skyline while giving its owner a quieter, slower rhythm of everyday living.

Casa Pueblomio sits in Manantiales, Punta del Este, Uruguay, where KLM architects work with slope, wind, and light to shape a coastal house.
