GJ House anchors a double lot in Hudson, Argentina, as a clear study in minimalist residential architecture by Estudio GMARQ. Conceived as a modern family house, it balances privacy toward the street with a long, glazed relationship to the garden. Inside, concrete, white volumes and warm wood make everyday routines feel composed without losing ease.
Kaizen is a rooftop apartment renovation in Genova, Italy by Ministudio Architetti, set among slate roofs and church towers in the old city. The project opens a once-fragmented dwelling into a fluid sequence of rooms, where interior portals, built-in furniture, and a generous terrace gather daily life around light and long views. Warm wood floors, tailored colors, and a mix of contemporary and vintage pieces give the home a calm, personal rhythm.
Apartment on Via Falcone brings a bright, contemporary apartment to Marcianise, Italy, where ESFA architetti crafts a continuous day area around light and tailored joinery. Kitchen and living remain visually connected yet can close off when needed, maintaining fluid movement for everyday life. Throughout the home, stone-effect porcelain and measured color accents build a warm, refined rhythm that grounds the interior in a calm, urban character.
As the holiday season settles in, the definition of a “festive home” is evolving. Moving away from visual clutter, modern interiors are embracing a quieter, more tactile approach to celebration. This winter, the trend is unmistakably leaning toward “Organic Warmth”—a design philosophy that champions natural materials, soft architectural curves, and lighting that does more than illuminate, it sets the mood.
Apartment on Fabryczna Street in Kraków is a family apartment in Poland, shaped by One Desk around books, art, and a gentle palette.

Casa RoMi transforms an apartment in Chiuduno, Italy into a calm yet expressive interior for contemporary living. Designed by Andrea Pagani, the renovation keeps the building’s original stone and timber shell visible while layering in sharp, minimal interventions. Clean cabinetry, a dark monolithic island and precise lighting sit against rough stone and warm oak, setting up a clear dialogue between past structure and present comfort in a compact open-plan home.
Casa Ruffino stands within the Poggio Casciano estate in Bagno a Ripoli, Italy, where b-arch studio reshapes hospitality against the ordered Chianti hills.

Guests move through interiors tuned to color, light, and texture, finding a calm rhythm between working winery and refined retreat.
Tree House stands just off Squam Lake in Holderness, NH, United States, where Alchemy Architects compress a house into a precise, wooded footprint.
