Whyle sets a new rhythm for extended stays in Washington, DC, United States, recasting the hotel as a series of lived-in apartments by MA | Morris Adjmi Architects. Clean lines, generous glazing, and carefully chosen furnishings support guests who might be working, resting, or exploring the neighborhood over weeks rather than nights. Every choice leans toward everyday comfort, from full kitchens to leafy corners that soften the building’s glass and steel shell.
House Slabbert sits in Stellenbosch, South Africa, where SALT Architects reworks a modest 1973 modernist house into a more connected family home. The single storey house is re-planned for convivial cooking, outdoor gathering, and better light, yet the low-profile street façade stays recognizably of its time. New internal and external sequences now support an easy movement between public rooms, private quarters, and a series of terraces tuned to everyday life.
Casa Falco unfolds as a calm, contemporary house in Sant’Arpino, Italy, where Labia Design choreographs light, texture, and color across generous domestic rooms. Floor‑to‑ceiling glazing, stone-clad walls, and dark wood accents frame daily life for its residents, from the open living area to the secluded bedroom suite and bathing rooms. Throughout, a restrained palette meets bold moments of color, giving each zone a distinct atmosphere without breaking the overall clarity.
Casa Granata sets a refined domestic scene in Frattamaggiore, Italy, where Labia Design reshapes an apartment into a calm yet animated sequence of rooms. Soft neutrals, pale wood, and tailored furnishings frame family life while broad glazing draws in daylight from the terrace. Each room holds a distinct mood, from the sociable living core to the characterful children’s quarters, giving the project a warm, contemporary Italian rhythm.
Casa Spena stands in the historic center of Frattamaggiore, Italy, as a contemporary house shaped by Labia Design for a multigenerational family. Across two levels, the project leans on natural materials, tailored joinery, and measured luxury to build a warm domestic world behind its courtyard and garden. Every move focuses on comfort and continuity rather than spectacle, yet the daily rituals of family life still feel carefully staged.
Casa Grimaldi is an apartment in Frattamaggiore, Italy, drawn up by Labia Design as a dialogue between contemporary lines and gentle retro echoes. The project threads a Parisian-inspired elegance through everyday family life, balancing polished marble and brass with warm wood, color, and tactile finishes. Each room extends that narrative with tailored gestures, from sculptural stone in the living area to playful, adaptable rooms for the children.
Villa Kronbuhl stands on the shore of Lake Constance in Germany, where Oppenheim Architecture shapes a house around far-reaching views and daily rituals. The 3,700-square-foot home pivots level by level to catch mountains, forest, and water, giving an international family a flexible retreat that shifts between quiet living and generous gathering. Inside and out, each turn of the plan pulls life back toward the landscape.
In the attic transforms an attic apartment in Prague, Czech Republic into a layered home by Boq Architekti, threaded with light from generous skylights. The renovation turns three compact rooms into four, carving out a gallery level and reworking circulation so the apartment feels taller, brighter, and more flexible than its footprint suggests. Carefully tuned materials and built-in furniture anchor daily life while keeping the volume open and calm.
