House SW reimagines a 1975 house in Vienna, Austria with a calm, legible plan. Illichmann Architecture leads the renovation, addressing a once-dark entry, awkward circulation, and a poor link to the garden with a nimble reorganization. The project replaces a peripheral stair with a split run and brightens the core while preserving the building’s footprint.
M House sits in Bangkok, Thailand, designed by IDIN Architects as a compact home grown from an inherited garden. The client kept the site’s mature trees and asked for privacy from the street, steering a plan that bends around trunks and views. Linked by a first-floor terrace to the original family house, the new volume carves rooms between green pockets and tucks a pool on the roof for light and daily use.
Catalog House converts two former flats into one family house in Edinburgh, United Kingdom, by PEND. The project reorganizes a Victorian semi to clarify circulation, amplify light, and draw daily life toward a west-facing garden. Across two levels, it balances open entertaining rooms with private quarters, giving the clients—owners of Catalog Interiors—a generous, flexible plan for living and hosting.
Lake Cle Elum anchors a crisp, modern house in Roslyn, WA, United States, where evergreens meet open water. Designed by sticklab, the residence occupies a small bench on a steep slope above the lake, paired with an 800-square-foot detached garage. The project steers toward clarity and durability, aligning large panes and low eaves with mountain weather and long views without losing the quiet feeling of a retreat.
Tintorum stands in Klausen, Italy, where Stefan Gamper Architecture reworks a 15th-century poorhouse into four pared-back apartments. The project keeps the building’s gravitas while drawing in daylight and calm, reading as both restoration and reinvention. Inside, old stone and timber hold company with glass, steel, and larch, creating a measured conversation between eras.
Aschmüllerhof sits in Laives, Italy, a house by Stefan Gamper Architecture that quietly threads contemporary life into the Bozen lowlands. The estate pairs a two-story residence with a working utility building, set within orchards and stitched by a pergola that frames a generous courtyard. Open rooms reach toward terraces and a private garden with a pool, while the build leans on masonry below and timber above to meet KlimaHaus A performance.
Foothill Terrace sits in Austin, United States, as a house shaped by continuity and careful change. Furman + Keil Architects return to their 2002 work for a 2021 remodel and additions that respect a midcentury lineage while embracing current living. The result threads new rooms and finishes through an existing rhythm, carrying the exposed structure from interior to garden and back again.
Vale House settles into Rollingwood, United States, as a gabled stone house by Furman + Keil Architects. The home reads private from the street yet opens to a bright courtyard at its core, where thin steel windows draw sun across pale wood and honed stone. A family house at heart, it guides daily life toward a kitchen that serves both routine and revelry with calm, durable materials.
