Entrelomas anchors a single-family house in Zapopan, Mexico, where V Taller answers dense urban conditions with an inward-looking concrete shell and garden-centered life. Behind the closed street façade, the project arranges social and private rooms around patios and a central courtyard, turning everyday routines for a young couple into a measured rhythm of light, shadow, and quiet air.
Casa Dragones anchors a contemporary house in Mérida, Mexico, with a grounded reading of climate and terrain by V Taller. The project reinterprets Yucatecan courtyard traditions through patios, arches, and planted voids that fold daily life into sequences of filtered light and shifting shade. Across its concrete base and lighter upper volumes, the house leans on local materials and open-air circulation to shape a calm, climate-responsive way of living.
Jiuxi Rose Garden sits in Hangzhou, China, as a private house by GFD shaped around quiet contact with landscape and light. The 500-square-meter residence draws nature into daily rituals, from tea and reading to family gatherings, through restrained materials and calm furnishings that keep the focus on texture, proportion, and the slow movement of the seasons. Rooms stay open yet composed, inviting an unhurried way of living.
Nothing Design Co. Headquarters stands on a tight Chicago, IL, United States streetscape, where Range Design & Architecture converts an existing structure into a furniture studio and showroom. The project leans on brick construction and calibrated daylight to expand the volume, create working and display areas, and knit the new frontage into Chicago’s familiar row of common-brick buildings.
Casa Magnolia stands in San Isidro, Argentina, where dense vegetation and traditional villas frame its pale brick volumes. Designed by Estudio PK – Ignacio Pessagno & Lilian Kandus, the house balances privacy, openness, and a clear material idea rooted in an ecological white brick shell. The result is a contemporary dwelling that folds light, shade, and landscape into a quiet but precise architectural presence.
Mustard Building stands in Vila Real de Santo António, Portugal, where Aurora Arquitectos works within strict heritage rules to extend an existing urban house.

Here, measured gestures reshape daily life without losing sight of the original rose-hued story.
Casa Enoki sits on a steep hillside in Liberia, Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica, where dense dry-tropical vegetation drops toward the Pacific. Designed by QBO3 Arquitectos as a luxury house, the residence reads the terrain and turns it into a series of staggered platforms with ocean views. The result is an indoor-outdoor home that treats the surrounding landscape as both boundary and companion.
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.
