Gul Melbourne is a house in Melbourne, Australia, designed by Nico van der Meulen Architects in 2023. A faceted metal envelope cuts a sharp profile against the street, while broad panes of glass pull garden and sky into view. Inside, a pared-back palette of concrete, plaster, and oak supports art and daily life with crisp intent.
GR Apartment sits in Rome’s Prati district, a two-level home within a early twentieth-century condominium set around a leafy courtyard. Designed by 123ArchitectureOffice, the apartment restores a vaulted brick ceiling and clears darkening additions to bring back light and cross-breezes. The real estate type is an apartment, yet the reworked interior reads generous and fluid, with one vivid gesture steering the mood.
House Beneath the Cross Hill sits on a gentle slope in Rokycany, Czech Republic, a modest house by Hurá Studio for the architect’s parents. The timber-forward interior gathers daylight through large, square windows and a measured plan with shared rooms at grade. Calm and personal, the home favors craft over show and keeps a direct line to the landscape.
Casa F. is an apartment in Roma, Italy, redesigned by CLACstudio. The studio recasts daily rooms with custom furniture, a colored metal screen, and a carefully tuned lighting program. Completed in 2023, the project balances easy circulation with a lively palette that keeps the home crisp yet warm.
Ladera is a refined apartment in Mexico by Sulkin Askenazi, composed with a moody, tactile palette and broad views. The home opens toward greenery and distant towers, then turns inward to stone, wood, and darkened ceilings that steady the rooms. Sulkin Askenazi threads the project with careful lighting and tailored furnishings, building a confident domestic rhythm across living areas and bedrooms.
6 HPP Ses Veles Puigpunyent lands in Puigpunyent, Spain as a compact multi unit housing project by Fortuny-Alventosa Morell Arquitectes. The two-level, gable-roofed building folds six dwellings around patios and terraces, pairing passive performance with an island supply chain. It leans on vernacular craft and a clean construction logic to cut impact without frills. The tone is quiet, the ambition is clear.
Periscope House is a house in Toronto, Canada, designed by Atelier RZLBD for a young family seeking a more personal, sustainable way to live. The project renovates a one-story bungalow and strategically adds a partial second floor, using subtraction as a tool for light, height, and clarity. What began as a straightforward addition becomes a study in restraint and sequence, with voids pulling daylight deep into the plan and giving the street a memorable new profile.
Trullo Svevo sits in the hills above Ostuni, Italy, where architect Francesco Consoli reanimates a traditional house with rare restraint. A cluster of dry-stone trulli regains daily purpose as calm rooms, while a new volume, modeled on a lamia, extends the domestic rhythm into the landscape. The project balances rural craft and present needs without noise.
