AirOuse steps lightly onto the riverbank in Vila do Conde, Portugal, a low-slung house by Ernesto Pereira that leans into air, water, and light. Across its long plan, the project contrasts a fully glazed social wing with a more cloistered private realm, using warm timber and stone to hold the two together. The result is a calm domestic landscape where daylight, reflections, and easy movement define everyday life.
House of Monitors sits on the Scarborough, Canada edge as a compact house shaped by light and structure. Designed by Williamson Williamson, the project responds to fragile bluff conditions with a precise mix of concrete shoring and cantilevered wood volumes. Within this tailored envelope, daily life unfolds against controlled daylight, tactile finishes, and a clear reading of how the building is made.
Steinach 10 crowns a 19th-century building in Merano, Italy, where NAEMAS Architekturkonzepte reworks two attic apartments into bright, ornamented homes. The project retains the Belle Époque character of the original façade while renewing interiors with fresh cabinetry, patterned friezes, and generous loggias. Residents gain new visual connections to the city’s rooftops and castle views, yet still move through rooms lined with restored tiled stoves and historic details.
Nhong Bua House stretches low along a lakeside plot in Thailand, arranged by local studio Make It Pop as a calm, light-filled house for everyday life. White gabled volumes, breezeblock screens, and long glazed walls pull in views of water and garden while holding back the tropical sun. Inside, pale timber floors and a restrained palette keep the focus on air, shade, and the changing light across the courtyard pool.
Casa Cubo reintroduces a familiar suburban house as a quiet contemporary landmark in Curitiba, Brazil. Estúdio Convexo Arquitetura retrofits the single-family home with a minimalist attitude, sharpening geometry outside and softening daily life inside. The project focuses on clarity, light, and durable materials so the renewed house can absorb family routines while staying visually calm from facade to garden.
Casa in Via Buonarroti sits inside a historic building in Rome, Italy, where damaSTUDIO works with the apartment’s long memory rather than against it. Barrel vaults, painted ceilings, and hexagonal terracotta floors anchor the renovation, while a clear contemporary attitude refines circulation, daily comfort, and the material palette. The result is a home that reads as one narrative, even as old and new keep their distinct voices.
Casa Verticale reworks a tall independent house in Santa Flavia, Italy, treating the apartment as a vertical sequence of rooms. La Leta Architettura reorganizes three levels and a private roof terrace around a new central stair, using light, oak, and metal to give the home a coherent contemporary character while preserving its intimate scale. The result ties daily life to a clear upward movement through the building.
Casa Errante anchors a 120-square-meter apartment in Rome, Italy, reworked by designer Raffaella Falbo into a home of light, storage, and quiet rhythm. The renovation refines a once-dated layout with a new master suite, generous kitchen, and layered color story that threads from entry hall to living room. Soft terracotta, sage, and celadon land against oak and metal, giving everyday rooms a composed and distinctly Roman intimacy.
