House Slabbert: Modern Alterations for a 1970s Family Home Life

House Slabbert: Modern Alterations for a 1970s Family Home Life

House Slabbert sits in Stellenbosch, South Africa, where SALT Architects reworks a modest 1973 modernist house into a more connected family home. The single storey house is re-planned for convivial cooking, outdoor gathering, and better light, yet the low-profile street façade stays recognizably of its time. New internal and external sequences now support an easy movement between public rooms, private quarters, and a series of terraces tuned to everyday life.

Verdizela House by Estúdio AMATAM

Verdizela House sits in Marisol, Corroios, Portugal, where the Atlantic breeze reaches a pine forest edge and filters into a quiet domestic world. Estúdio AMATAM arranges this house as a contemporary courtyard dwelling, drawing on Mediterranean and Islamic precedents to pursue calm, control light, and temper the coastal climate. Across its white walls and timber accents, the residence reads as a disciplined retreat for introspective living.

Backstage at The Old Vic by Haworth Tompkins

Backstage at The Old Vic expands the Grade II* listed theatre in London, United Kingdom, with a new charitable wing by Haworth Tompkins. The project folds a café, learning centre, rehearsal rooms and event venues into one extension, giving the institution a daily civic presence beyond performance nights. With community access, sustainability and accessibility embedded from the outset, the building reframes how a historic theatre can work for its neighbours as much as its artists.
