Octothorpe House settles low in Bend, United States, where Mork-Ulnes Architects explore a cross-laminated timber house shaped by light and memory. Four slender shed-roofed wings organize the home into public and private realms, drawing desert views deep indoors while small planted courts mark pauses along the way. The result is a calm, contemporary dwelling that treats circulation as both route and room.
Kailua House sits just inland from the shoreline of Kailua, Hawaii, United States, where Mork-Ulnes Architects shape a dense neighborhood lot into an inward-looking retreat. The house turns toward lush planting, a grass-roofed lanai, and a long pool, arranging daily life around water, shade, and garden rather than the street. Inside, warm timber, concrete, and broad glass walls support a calm rhythm of cooking, gathering, and rest tuned to the island climate.
MS House by Studio Saransh rises among nine mature neem trees in Ahmedabad, India, turning a Brutalist concrete shell into a porous, climate-aware family home.

Rooms now read as generous, adaptable scenes rather than isolated compartments.
