Trim House is a single-family house in Vilnius, Lithuania, designed by KWK Promes | Robert Konieczny. Shaped by a suburban site with old trees and a loose pattern of houses and summer cottages, it answers changing regulations with a compact triangular plan. Raised living and sleeping levels let the interior take in daylight, extend toward the garden, and keep the private rooms above ground level.
Sagamore North Cottage is a house in Muskoka District Municipality, ON, Canada, designed by Akb Architects for life close to the water and tucked from passing boats. Completed in 2025, the all-season retreat follows the island’s slope and uses dark cladding, broad roof planes, and sliding glass walls to balance privacy with long views, family gatherings, and quieter moments alone.
Antònia & Roger is a house in Barcelona, Spain, reworked by MH.AP for a narrow urban plot and the rhythms of family life. Designed in 2025, the project adapts a structure already under construction, organizing shared and private areas across three levels. Terracotta surfaces, built-in elements, and a vivid blue staircase give the home a clear Mediterranean character with a more contemporary edge.
Casa do Parque IV transforms an aging house in Santo Tirso, Portugal into a lived-in home with renewed purpose by Ricardo Azevedo Arquitecto. The project turns a once fragile structure into a central, memory-rich residence that answers a client’s wish for modern clarity without abandoning the past. Within this urban setting, the architect navigates heritage, cost, and comfort to deliver a home that feels both singular and quietly assured.
Casa Pueblomio sits in Manantiales, Punta del Este, Uruguay, where KLM architects work with slope, wind, and light to shape a coastal house. The project anchors itself half a level into the ground, turning terrain, patios, and planted edges into buffers between domestic life and the wider gated community. Concrete and natural wood frame everyday routines against a calm landscape, with upper-level rooms pulled back for privacy and long views.
Casa Gálvez sits in Leon, Mexico, where Estudio Villagálvez turns a dense urban lot into a house oriented toward trees, patios, and changing light. The project stands between residential and industrial neighbors yet leans toward a bordering green area, drawing its everyday atmosphere from foliage, shade, and open views. A contemporary reading of traditional Mexican domestic forms grounds the house, so circulation, height, and air all pivot around a central courtyard.
Lake Washington Residence sits between the Burke-Gilman trail and the water in Seattle, WA, United States, by Studio Zerbey Architecture + Interiors. The house stretches across a rare double lot, pairing tall lakeside glazing with layered decks and a green-roofed volume that answer both the shoreline setting and the region’s gray, wet seasons. Inside, a warm modern character frames everyday family life against the changing light on the lake.
Bend Hideaway sets a crisp modern house against the wooded edge of Bend, OR, United States, by San Francisco–based Feldman Architecture. The retreat supports recent empty nesters and their visiting family with a linear plan that folds around a lap pool, guest rooms, and shared rooms tuned to forest views. Here, an active daily rhythm meets a quiet, highly edited relationship to the 650-acre preserve next door.
