Oak House lands in Pedrezuela, Spain, by Muka Arquitectura as a house shaped by trees, water, and a disciplined concrete frame. The plan yields to two oaks and a northern view over the reservoir, then tightens into an interior journey that rises in privacy and light. Built in 2024, the residence uses a single material system to bind structure, enclosure, and daily life.

KSANA tea house lands in Bangkok, Thailand as a compact restaurant by Juti Architects, tucked beneath the public stairs fronting the OCC office tower. The project draws on the brand’s Kyoto-sourced matcha and the nearby plaza’s water feature to frame a quiet urban pause. Visitors slip from the bustle into a crafted interior that reads more like a gorge than a shop, with material choices steering the mood and the ritual.

Dione House lands in Goiânia as a family house by Studio Andre Lenza, planned for open-air days and quick closings when needed. The project organizes daily life around a backyard and pool, balancing privacy from the street with full connection to the garden. Across two levels, the plan favors movement, light, and easy oversight for parents with three children.

Hira unfolds in India as a layered house by Fulcrum Studio, paired with an adjoining office that extends the narrative beyond domestic life. The residence moves between introspection and conviviality, where concrete, marble, metal, and heirloom textiles pull against one another. Four stacked levels orbit a sunlit void and shape a choreography of light, shade, and reflection. The office next door continues the experiment, translating material tactility into a kinetic workplace.

House at Nøtterøy sits on a small hilltop in Norway, its compact house form tuned to a tight plot and a family budget.

A reserved exterior gives way to a generous, open upper level arranged for daily life and long views.

Casa la Marchesana sits in Bologna, Italy, where a historic envelope meets a crisp, contemporary interior.

A matte black volume inserts circulation, kitchen, and mezzanine into the whitewashed shell, setting a confident rhythm across timber floors and exposed beams.

Apartment O lands inside a 1930s attic in Suttgart, Germany, where SOMAA rethinks a compact apartment into a vivid, flexible home.

It’s an urban retreat that swaps hard partitions for soft boundaries and surprise gestures, from a secret bathroom door to a curtain that reveals a workplace on demand.

Sleeping Lab·Tang sits in Beijing, China, conceived by Atelier d’More as a hospitality project with a crafted touch.
