In the attic transforms an attic apartment in Prague, Czech Republic into a layered home by Boq Architekti, threaded with light from generous skylights. The renovation turns three compact rooms into four, carving out a gallery level and reworking circulation so the apartment feels taller, brighter, and more flexible than its footprint suggests. Carefully tuned materials and built-in furniture anchor daily life while keeping the volume open and calm.

Wagner is a four-storey terraced house in Milan, Italy, redesigned by Lupettatelier as a private world behind a vivid red facade. Inside, British-inflected colors, a hidden garden, and an art-filled interior turn the compact footprint into a layered journey through light and memory. Each floor unfolds around a central stair, where oriental textures and collected furniture create a quiet counterpoint to the busy city outside.

Rose building stands on the riverside avenue of Vila Real de Santo António, Portugal, where Aurora Arquitectos reworks an old house into a layered interior narrative. Behind the rational facade, the project turns an eccentric private world into five independent apartments that preserve mosaics, murals, and carpentry while adding contemporary structure. Each new dwelling grows from the original rooms, so the building reads as one continuous story in five chapters.

Kownatki Lake House sits in Kownatki, Poland, as a refined holiday house by Archmondo Piotr Kowalczyk that draws directly from the quiet Masurian landscape. The project anchors a 36-hectare lakeside development and uses rigorous detailing, robust materials, and a barn-like form to give contemporary leisure living a distinctly local character. Guests move between forest, water, and home with an ease that feels both grounded and deliberate.

MoMA Design Store Soho reopens in New York, United States with a refreshed identity by Peterson Rich Office that leans into the building’s rich 19th-century bones.

Past and present sit in close conversation here, and the result feels both grounded and distinctly urban.

MNG is a tailored apartment renovation in Milan, Italy, shaped by Archventil for a client with a vivid creative life and a need for everyday practicality.

Soft finishes, layered curtains, and a clear layout turn compact rooms into places that support both quiet work and easy entertaining.

Mansion Lom gathers a far-flung family in a renewed house on the Banj plateau above Ljubljana, Slovenia, where OFIS architects work with rugged karst tradition. The studio keeps two existing stone buildings at the core of the project, binding them with a restrained new wing and a warm, wood-lined interior. Eight children and parents find a shared base here, in a landscape once almost forgotten yet rich in durable forms.

Westview Residence sets a calm, precise tone on a steep Austin, TX, cul-de-sac, where Alterstudio Architecture navigates oaks, grade, and creek with quiet confidence.
