Trajetória is a renovated apartment in Brasília, Brazil, reimagined by Hersen Mendes Arquitetura for a family returning to the same block they once called home. Organized around everyday routes through the apartment, the project translates circulation, light, and shared rituals into a clear architectural narrative that connects entry, kitchen, and living areas. Along the way, each room responds to specific needs, from music gatherings to late-night work.

The Scultpted Penthouse crowns a residential tower in Taipéi, Taiwan, where interior designer Peny Hsieh turns a once-fragmented apartment into a sculptural, two-level refuge. Across 230 m², the project replaces narrow rooms and an underused terrace with flowing volumes, matte mineral surfaces, and soft daylight. What emerges is a calm, contemporary apartment that frames the city’s skyline while giving its owner a quieter, slower rhythm of everyday living.

Casa Gálvez sits in Leon, Mexico, where Estudio Villagálvez turns a dense urban lot into a house oriented toward trees, patios, and changing light.

A contemporary reading of traditional Mexican domestic forms grounds the house, so circulation, height, and air all pivot around a central courtyard.
Lake Washington Residence sits between the Burke-Gilman trail and the water in Seattle, WA, United States, by Studio Zerbey Architecture + Interiors.

Inside, a warm modern character frames everyday family life against the changing light on the lake.
