Apartment on Fabryczna Street in Kraków is a family apartment in Poland, shaped by One Desk around books, art, and a gentle palette. The project turns a northwest-corner unit in a new residential building into a calm, flexible home that feels intentionally unfinished, leaving room for furniture to move, collections to grow, and routines to shift over time.
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.
Melissa Villas is a hotel set among olive groves outside Chania, Greece, shaped by designer Evi Kotsou as a bright, low-slung retreat. Stone walls, timber balconies, and long terraces gather around the pools, while generous glazing pulls the Cretan light deep into the interiors. Inside, a warm neutral palette, woven textures, and tailored furniture frame an easy rhythm between shaded outdoor decks and quietly composed rooms.
Jänkä Resort sets its hotel deep in Finland, where snowbound forest presses close to glass and timber. Designed by Fyra, the project turns shared interiors into an experiential journey that links guests to nature, Lappish culture, and each other. A generous restaurant, layered lobby, and safari lounge shape a warm sequence that balances rugged materials with soft light and finely tuned details.
Tree House stands just off Squam Lake in Holderness, NH, United States, where Alchemy Architects compress a house into a precise, wooded footprint.

Renew sets a calm new chapter for a multi-level house in New Taipei City, Taiwan, reshaped by 1001 Giving Living. The studio works with a restrained palette, careful furnishings, and subtle light control to reinterpret a decade of life without erasing it. Everyday rooms shift toward clarity and openness, yet still hold objects that anchor memory and routine.
East Hampton Modern stands on a pastoral property in East Hampton, NY, United States, where Workshop/APD rethinks the classic weekend house for city dwellers. The 2021 project arranges crisp gabled volumes around a pool and meadow, setting up a clear dialogue between social life, guest privacy, and the open landscape. Inside and out, the house reads as a retreat planned around movement, light, and long poolside days with visiting friends.
Chalet 1740 rests in Sauze di Cesana, Italy, where Caracter Architettura d’Interni reshapes a traditional chalet into a calm retreat of timber, stone, and glass. The project folds contemporary comforts into a rustic alpine shell, pairing generous windows with restrained furniture and a warm material palette that keeps the mountain landscape always in view. Every room leans on texture and light to hold its own quiet mood.
