Decor & Design Inc shapes the interiors as a relaxed coastal retreat, tuned to long days and easy gatherings. Wide windows, natural textures, and a restrained palette keep the rooms open to the horizon while still feeling grounded and livable for everyday island life.

Casa HG anchors a3lier architettura’s renovation of an apartment on the outskirts of Zona Paolo Sarpi in Milano, Italy. The project keeps the existing layout yet rethinks every interior surface, using custom furniture, iron frames, and calibrated lighting to shape one large living volume into a sequence of connected rooms. Clear views run across the apartment, while each area carries its own mood, from the concrete-lined play corner to the warm, wood-floored bedrooms.

Vorst crowns a modernist 1955 building in Brussels, Belgium, where architect Arnout De Sutter reimagines a once-awkward top-floor apartment for a stylist and art lover.

The result is a calm, layered interior that folds hospitality, privacy, and art display into one clear, flowing plan.

Living Unit sets out from Ljubljana, Slovenia, as a compact yet ambitious cabin concept by OFIS architects. The project explores how a self-contained wooden shell can adapt to shifting terrains, climates, and uses, from tourism to emergency shelter.

Palisades Redux ADU gathers a house, new accessory dwelling unit, and garage around a reshaped yard in Santa Monica, CA, United States, by Vertebrae.

What reads as sculptural forms from the main home becomes intimate living quarters and support rooms tucked behind a responsive facade.

Muxarabi House unfolds in Granja Viana, Brazil, as a warm yet refined house by Paula Aveiro Arquitetos.

Casa do Engenho sits within an agricultural estate in Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal, where architect Jorge Prata reworks an ancillary building into the family’s primary house.

Across two levels, everyday life unfolds between preserved stone, new wood, and a renewed connection to the surrounding landscape.

Wooden house next to Konin stands within a young pine forest outside Konin, Poland, where Studio GAB shapes a timber house as a companion to the trees.

Broad glazing, soft furnishings, and simple forms keep the daily routine closely tuned to the shifting forest light across seasons.
