The Oasis House sets a quiet, controlled rhythm within Bangkok, Thailand, where Pongpat Architect shapes a compact house into a deeply inward-looking retreat. The project channels the clients’ wish for a modern home that feels like a private resort, turning a dense urban plot into a courtyard-centered dwelling. Every move responds to privacy, proportion, and daily rituals, translating a tight footprint into generous internal life.
Casa SC stands in Menfi, Italy, where Vid’A reworks a late 19th-century barn into a contemporary house without erasing its agricultural past. Thick walls, low arches, and a perforated brick screen now frame domestic life while holding onto the traces of work and storage that once filled the volume. The project reads as a careful recovery of character rather than a cosmetic update.
Wagner unfolds as a four-storey terraced house in Milan, Italy, reimagined by Lupettatelier with a vivid red street presence and a secluded inner garden. Behind the compact façade, the home becomes a layered sequence of British-accented rooms, art-lined passages, and a central stair that anchors everyday life. Each level draws light, color, and collected objects into an interior narrative that feels both urbane and quietly personal.
Strážné Cottage stands on a hillside above the village of Strážné in the Czech Republic, reimagined by Mimosa Architekti as a contemporary mountain cottage for an extended family.

Guests arrive to a compact yet generous retreat where everyday routines, shared meals, and quiet evenings can unfold at an unhurried pace.
Kailua House sits just inland from the shoreline of Kailua, Hawaii, United States, where Mork-Ulnes Architects shape a dense neighborhood lot into an inward-looking retreat. The house turns toward lush planting, a grass-roofed lanai, and a long pool, arranging daily life around water, shade, and garden rather than the street. Inside, warm timber, concrete, and broad glass walls support a calm rhythm of cooking, gathering, and rest tuned to the island climate.

Guests move through a calibrated sequence of lobby, corridors, and rooms where prefabricated construction and a disciplined palette support both comfort and long-term operation.
House of Joy sets a calm, confident tone for a contemporary house in Kyiv, Ukraine, shaped by designer Oleh Hubanishchev.

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.

Interiors lean on natural tones and tactility, creating a calm rhythm between private family living and welcoming guest accommodation.
