Cliff Villa rises above Paliokastro, Greece, oriented to the Cretan Sea and the gusts that define the headland. A2G Architects configures a two-level house for a young couple, favoring calm rooms and long views over spectacle. The 4-bedroom retreat pairs sculpted white volumes with sun-washed terraces, leaning into climate, topography, and the lure of open water.
Grzybowska places an eighth-floor apartment in Warsaw, Poland within the fast-rising Wola district, where terrace views catch the city’s skyline. Designed by Dawid Konieczny Interiors, the corner home shifts from two small bedrooms to one generous suite and a larger living area. The reworked plan lets a calm palette of beige plaster and microcement carry throughout, while curved forms, organic furnishings, and tailored lighting set a modern rhythm across rooms.
Villa in Sorrento sits within a historic garden above the Bay of Naples, its 1950s bones refreshed by Architetti Artigiani Anonimi.

Dimitri reimagines a Brussels, Belgium townhouse as a spirited family house by Victoria-Maria Interior Design. Across rooms shaped for a couple and five children, the project channels color, art, and texture into daily life.

Altes Gericht sits within Klausen, Italy, where Stefan Gamper Architecture reworks the listed Old Court into two compact apartments. The project distills daily life into 45 m² (484 ft²) per home, trading courtly ceremony for quiet order. Within the top floors’ steep rooflines and timber bones, a careful plan, measured materials, and a few precise openings recalibrate this urban relic for present-day living.
House SW reimagines a 1975 house in Vienna, Austria with a calm, legible plan. Illichmann Architecture leads the renovation, addressing a once-dark entry, awkward circulation, and a poor link to the garden with a nimble reorganization. The project replaces a peripheral stair with a split run and brightens the core while preserving the building’s footprint.
Sankt Göres places two new townhouses in Düsseldorf, Germany, by Nidus with a measured hand and a calm voice. The house typology reads through arched oak windows, pale brick, and a monolithic posture that nods to local tradition without nostalgia. Inside, rooms move from lively to hushed, drawing on Japanese restraint and German craft to set a grounded rhythm for everyday living.
Cavern House lands in Singapore, Singapore as a house by Super Assembly, drawing on cave-like expanses to shape a family’s daily rhythm.
