Dunelands Residence crowns a dune above Lake Michigan in Saugatuck, MI, United States, where dSPACE Studio shapes a house tuned to weather and water. The lakefront retreat translates the owners’ love of rugged, four-season adventure into rooms that prioritize wellness, outdoor living, and a quiet connection to the shifting dune landscape. Stucco, steel, and glass read with a low, assured profile against the horizon, giving the dwelling a grounded yet open character.
The Cornwall Retreat sits above Porthcothan Bay, a clifftop house by De Rosee Sa in London, United Kingdom, shaped around a young family of surfers. Within its modest pitched form, the project unfolds as a layered coastal interior, where timber, stone and soft textiles translate the surrounding landscape into daily life. Interiors stay calm and grounded, but every room keeps a quiet dialogue with the sea beyond.
Casa A12 stands on a hill above Aci Castello, Italy, where exposed concrete lines meet rough lava stone. Designed by Salvatore Puleo as a contemporary house, the project replaces an old rural building with a residence that commands views of the coast, the Acitrezza stacks, and Mount Etna. It reads as both lookout and dwelling, grounded in the volcanic terrain around it.
Soft & Minimal refines a 130 sqm apartment in Ramat HaSharon, Israel with a quiet, monochrome palette. Designed by Shira Lavi BD, the home strips away partitions to form an open, balanced interior where terrazzo, brushed aluminum, and oak veneer anchor daily life.

New retro’ unfolds as a vivid apartment in Marano di Napoli, Italy, shaped by architect Carmine Abate for clients with an unapologetically fashion-driven brief.

The result is a residential interior that treats pattern, light, and material as an expressive toolkit rather than quiet background.
Itaca House reimagines a Roman apartment as a villa-scaled house in the city, crafted by Studio Strato in Rome, Italy.

The project threads everyday family life through a central square core, where living, dining, and quiet corners unfold in a continuous, light-washed sequence.
Ayoughi House unfolds in a park-like garden in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, where Philipp Architekten BDA choreographs architecture, interiors, and landscape as one coherent whole.

Across its rooms, everyday routines meet clear structure, and the result feels measured rather than grand.

Each residence balances open living and quiet bedrooms, establishing a composed urban retreat above the street.
