Casa AH unfolds as a weekend house in a gated community outside Buenos Aires, Argentina, designed by Estudio GMARQ for a family seeking distance from the city. The house organizes social and private rooms around the golf course views, using concrete, glass, and warm wood to stitch together generous interiors with a measured connection to the landscape. Simple materials carry the atmosphere. Carefully tuned details shape the daily rhythm of arrival, rest, and return.
Living in constant heat is rarely only about discomfort. It shapes how a day is planned, how a home is used, and how much energy is left for anything beyond basic routines. In places like Texas, where long hot stretches feel normal, heat becomes an ongoing environment that influences sleep, attention, patience, and household costs.
A home that honors the past while moving into the future reimagines a once-dark split-level house in Israel for a young family by Halel Architecture and Interior Design. The renovation shifts circulation, light, and daily life, turning the former warren of rooms into a fluid sequence of shared and private zones. Designed in 2025, this house now treats the original structure as an asset rather than a constraint.
40m2 House sits at the end of a quiet alley in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, where designer Ha Anh Vu reworks a modest footprint into a layered home.

Melissa Villas is a hotel set among olive groves outside Chania, Greece, shaped by designer Evi Kotsou as a bright, low-slung retreat. Stone walls, timber balconies, and long terraces gather around the pools, while generous glazing pulls the Cretan light deep into the interiors. Inside, a warm neutral palette, woven textures, and tailored furniture frame an easy rhythm between shaded outdoor decks and quietly composed rooms.
Buddha’s House turns an apartment in Neihu, Taipei, Taiwan into a hybrid gallery and residence by designer Peny Hsieh. The project arranges a substantial Vajrayana Buddharupa collection within a calm, contemporary interior that still respects ritual and display. Living, meditating, and viewing art happen in rooms that read as both home and micro-museum, where light, shadow, and a measured palette guide the eye and settle the mind.
Casa Ruffino stands within the Poggio Casciano estate in Bagno a Ripoli, Italy, where b-arch studio reshapes hospitality against the ordered Chianti hills. The hotel project translates the Ruffino brand into rooms and salons that balance historic architecture with measured contemporary interventions.

Résidence l’Échouage sits on a narrow point of land in Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures, Canada, where the St. Lawrence River presses close on both sides. Bourgeois / Lechasseur architectes transform an inherited summer house into a cedar-clad residence of linked pavilions, balancing resilience with an intimate relationship to the shifting tides. The project reads as a modest house from the ground yet quietly extends into a layered landscape of rooms, courtyards, and river views.
