Kirigami unfolds as a finely tuned winter retreat in Eden, United States, shaped by Sparano + Mooney Architecture around the precision of folded steel and timber craft. The project translates the Japanese art of kirigami into an alpine setting, using cuts, folds, and voids to organize a ski-in/ski-out home for multi-generational living. Inside, a clean, modern character frames art, views, and ritual, from onsen bathing to quiet evenings off the slopes.
A Resolutely Maximalist Mini Loft condenses an entire visual universe into a compact apartment in Bagnolet, France, reimagined by ZYVA Studio’s founder Anthony Authié. Inside an industrial shell near Paris, the architect layers youth culture references, bold color fields, and cartoon-like furniture into an unapologetically graphic interior. What starts as a simple volume becomes a dense narrative of textures, objects, and memories that turns everyday domestic life into an ongoing visual story.
1930s Victorian bungalow traces the careful reinvention of a 1935 house in Austin, United States by Side Angle Side, recasting a rundown structure as a layered family home. The architects rebuild the historic shell around salvaged millwork and generous light, while interior designer and homeowner Holly Beth Potter threads vintage finds and new finishes into a calm, lived-in rhythm. What emerges is a house that holds history close yet feels ready for everyday use.
Uptown Apartment sets a calm, contemporary tone in Vilnius, Lithuania, where designer Marija Orloviene composes a light-filled home from warm materials and measured color. The apartment reads as one continuous living environment, tying together cooking, dining, and relaxing areas through subtle shifts in texture and tone rather than bold contrasts. Every view feels deliberate, yet the rooms stay relaxed enough for everyday city life.
Maison SE sits in the hills above Aix-en-Provence, France, where Isabelle Berthet Bondet arranges a 350 m² house as an extension of the surrounding pines. Broad glazing, deep terraces, and long rooflines draw the eye out toward the southwest horizon while sheltered rooms encourage slow, everyday rituals. The result is a relaxed contemporary residence that treats the Mediterranean landscape as its primary interior surface.
House J sits in the western mountains of Beijing, China, where Atelier About Architecture reshapes a long-familiar house into a layered retreat for a scattered family. The freestanding house reworks its original shell into a series of gardens, halls, and rooms that hold changing generations together while keeping everyday life quietly independent. Light, topography, and an enduring courtyard structure the project’s new rhythm of return.
Los Feliz Contemporary anchors a reimagined 1950 house in Los Angeles, United States, reshaped by Studio Emblem & Co. for art-collecting clients seeking a new West Coast chapter. The project turns a once-heavy Spanish Revival interior into a luminous, gallery-caliber home, where California light, contemporary furnishings, and carefully tuned rooms support both daily rituals and a serious collection. Every move reflects a shared desire to root their modern life in the city’s creative energy.
Ridge House settles between field and forest in Owen Sound, Canada, where superkül shapes a rural house around slope, wind, and long horizontal views. The project treats the ridge as both datum and shelter, using a singular roofline to gather four-season rooms that stay close to the ground and even closer to the surrounding woods. Inside, calm finishes and controlled light keep the focus on climate, texture, and the slow movement of the day.
