Westwood Wedge steps back from the busy streets of Asheville, United States, to form a quiet house by Assembly Architecture & Build. The timber-clad volume tucks into the rear of the lot, where a generous porch and sunken living quarters open toward a neighboring field and the southern light. Inside, a warm palette of wood, plants, and low-slung furnishings turns everyday routines into an easy, slowed-down sequence of rooms.
Casa CR stands on the rugged edge of Lagoa, Portugal, where basalt rock meets Atlantic light. Conceived by SO Arquitetura & Design, the single-level house answers a couple’s late-life wish to start over with clarity and calm. The residence draws on the client’s aviation past and on the island’s tough terrain, translating both into a low, winglike volume that opens wide to garden, courtyard, and horizon.
Dollhouse Loft unfolds inside a former factory apartment in Toronto, Canada, where StudioAC reimagines a generous double-height volume for contemporary daily life. The project recasts an existing loft in Leslieville as a series of measured thresholds, using a social platform, mezzanine bath pod, and integrated shelving to organize movement, light, and quiet work zones within the industrial shell.
Villa Ivy and Elisa stand in the village of Seseh in Bali, Indonesia, where Riccardo Rubelli draws the house deep into its tropical setting. Two villas share a calm dialogue between masonry, timber, and planted courts, their rooftop terraces tuned to breezes from the nearby beach. Inside, modern volumes and Balinese materials meet in a measured way that keeps the daily rhythm relaxed and quietly precise.
CASINHA DA MELROEIRA stands on a tight plot in Ourém, Portugal, where Filipe Saraiva – Arquitectos rebuilds a familiar ruin as a compact village house. The project follows a pentagonal volume that mirrors its neighboring Casa da Melroeira while carving out intimate outdoor rooms and framed views. Inside, salvaged pieces, handcrafted objects, and technical experiments turn a modest footprint into a layered home grounded in memory and everyday use.
Bangalow Road House stands on a narrow 360m² corner block in Byron Bay, Australia, shaped by Son Studio as a compact, efficient family house. The project responds to tight height and boundary controls with stacked timber volumes and a central courtyard that mediate between a busy street and calm interior life. Within this modest footprint, the house treats light, screening, and climate as core architectural tools rather than add-ons.
Apartment in Kichijoji renovates a compact apartment in Musashino, Japan, reworking daily life around a larger, more open kitchen by Roovice. The project turns a former 3LDK layout into a generous living–dining–kitchen zone, where exposed structure, oak parquet, and custom carpentry support a brighter, more connected way of living. Every move favors shared rooms and easy circulation while respecting the calm character of a residential neighborhood.
Block House: Interior sits within a three-level house in Prague, Czechia, where Studio MA works directly with the sloping terrain of Šárecké Valley. The project refines everyday living with clear geometry, long views and a restrained material palette that connects the main living floor, the private spa level and the roof-terrace bedrooms into one continuous experience. Calm light, durable finishes and precise proportion drive the atmosphere throughout the home.
