Apartment in Kifissia reworks a 1980s apartment in Kifisia, Greece, with a clear eye on its modernist bones and open plan. Panagiotis Papanikolaou Design Studio preserves the generous windows and original wood while threading in new color and material cues that echo the surrounding landscape. The result is an updated urban home that respects its past yet feels distinctly present.
House of Quiet Balance sets a low, composed tone from the moment someone steps into this house in Kolhāpur, India by ORV Architecture. The residence arranges pale stone floors, blond wood, and quiet textiles into a restrained interior that feels both urban and deeply relaxed. Every room continues the same measured language so the home reads as one calm sequence rather than a collection of separate zones.
Plantasia unfolds as a cinematic holiday house in Australia, conceived by YSG Studio for a young family seeking escape from city routine. The fictional retreat turns a cavernous 1990s mock-Colonial shell into a lush interior journey, where cork floors, wallpapers and surreal colour drench every corner. Each room carries its own mood, inviting children and adults to wander, linger and discover small scenes threaded through the home.
Holler House interior sets a warm, modern tone for a family house in NC, United States, crafted by Robinson Design Studio. Within a timber-lined shell, large black-framed windows pull the surrounding woods into every room, while stone, metal, and soft textiles keep the palette grounded and calm. The interiors prioritize easy daily living, generous gathering rooms, and a quiet visual rhythm that holds steady from kitchen to bedroom.
Casa C+S is a renovated apartment in Bormio, Italy, reimagined by GiB Studio from two adjoining units into one cohesive home. The project opens up the former maze of rooms into a generous living area facing southeast, while a quiet northwest wing gathers the bedrooms and baths.

MG.01 sits in a 1980s building in Madrid, Spain, where architect and interior designer Iñigo Iriarte leans into the existing structure’s generous proportions and garden views. The apartment unfolds around a central living nucleus, turned into a layered arena for reading, lounging, and dining that respects the original carpentry while dialing up warmth, tactility, and color for its owner Andrés and his family.
Hata-Mazanka stands on a private estate near Kyiv, Ukraine, where YOD Group reimagines the archetypal rural mazanka as a contemporary guesthouse experience.

Guests move between bedroom and living room as the landscape presses close, blurring the threshold between interior comfort and open countryside.
Locanda la Concia rises above Reggio Emilia, Italy, as a penthouse retreat shaped by Eligo Studio within a long-held family building.

Guests enter an unassuming structure and move upward into an “Italian riad” that quietly references Marrakech while remaining rooted in local tradition.
