Villa Ousia sits on a hillside above Pitsidia, Greece, where Paly Architects condense a house into three offset volumes shaped by stone, earth-toned plaster, and glass. The arrangement pivots around a pool and a pair of pergolas, threading the rooms to outdoor life while softening wind and sun. Built between 2023 and 2025, the residence reads as concise and deliberate, with local materials setting the tone indoors and out.
Casa FM is a new house in Porto, Portugal, by António Bessa Cruz Architects. Set on a former car repair shop near Agramonte Cemetery, the project replaces an inadequate structure with a ground-up build that preserves an industrial attitude. Loft-scale rooms, courtyards, and robust materials steer the conversion toward intimate daily living while keeping the workshop’s memory in view. It was designed in 2025.

Built as a modest tower, it threads utility through warm interiors and a careful plan. The result feels agile, resilient, and quietly joyful.

Reused hydraulic tiles, restored doors, and exposed brick anchor the rooms while a red stair stitches inside to out.
House Beneath the Cross Hill sits on a gentle slope in Rokycany, Czech Republic, a modest house by Hurá Studio for the architect’s parents.

Calm and personal, the home favors craft over show and keeps a direct line to the landscape.
Modern Farm House sits in Čtyřkoly, Czech Republic, where an aging farmhouse becomes a contemporary house by Marketa Killi.
