Herol stands on the high meadows of Lüsen, Italy, where Stefan Gamper Architecture reinterprets the archetype of the alpine chalet as a quiet, contemporary farmstead. The project folds traditional pitched roofs, larch cladding, and white-plastered masonry into a compact residential ensemble that engages both the landscape and agricultural life around it. Interiors lean on natural tones and tactility, creating a calm rhythm between private family living and welcoming guest accommodation.
Casa Solis stands on the Aegean coast of İzmir, Türkiye, as a composed summer house by BAD – BasakAkkoyunluDesign. The project arranges two clear volumes across a generous plot in Çeşme, setting up a dialogue between low living areas, vertical bedroom stacks, and the stepped terrace with its pool. Inside and out, the house leans on stone, wood, and light-toned finishes to support relaxed seasonal living.
Chicureo House stretches low across its golf-course edge in Colina, Chile, a precise single-family house by Nicolas Loi Architects. The project organizes domestic life between a concrete plinth and a deep timber roof that temper the harsh sun while keeping living areas connected to the landscape. Generous interstitial zones pull daily routines outdoors, from barbecues to poolside evenings, so the house reads as a long porch facing the fairways.
Casa PZ draws together alpine context and refined interior thinking in an apartment in Courmayeur, Italy by DC|EF studio. The project reworks a compact mountain residence into a layered, contemporary setting where custom pieces and calibrated light reframe everyday rituals. Within this tight envelope, the studio orchestrates a sequence of convivial rooms and quiet retreats that echo local material culture while maintaining a crisp, modern edge.
Ft. Greene Brownstone stands on a tree-lined block in Brooklyn, Kings County, NY, United States, its restored facade anchoring the row. Sherman Architects reworks the landmark house as a tall, light-filled home where a family moves between books, play, and garden. Behind the rebuilt stoop and cast-stone ornament, the interior shifts from intimate rooms to a double-height living volume that opens wide to the backyard for daily use.
La Conception III sits in La Conception, Canada, as a house by Nicolas Chaudier architecte that works with the grain of its wooded hillside site. Local cedar, deep glazing, and stratified volumes respond to the forest while organizing family life inside. Interior rooms track a gentle shift from communal living to more private zones, so the house feels rooted in its setting and tuned to daily routines.
House on the Edge of the Plain sits at the soft edge of Murska Sobota, Slovenia, where suburban plots meet the long horizon of the Pannonian plain. Skupaj Arhitekti use a spare, low house to translate that threshold condition into architecture, pairing exposed concrete with loose gravel and generous glazing. The result is a calm, minimalist house that reads as part landscape, part dwelling.
Dora Villa sets a concrete cube against the broad fields and low hills of Quốc Oai, Hanoi, Vietnam, its profile reading clearly from the suburban edge. PAK architects arrange this house as a family retreat, where verandas and voids negotiate between raw structure and the changing climate. Inside and out, the project balances compressed thresholds and expansive rooms so daily life stays close to light, air, and the surrounding greenery.
