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.
Los Llanos House stands on rural ground in Paraje los Llanos, TM Lorca, Murcia, Spain, where a near-ruin becomes a lived-in memory.

The restored structure balances emotional continuity with a new way of living that favors shared rooms over compartmentalized domesticity.

House GM stands on the edge of Rosà, Italy as a composed concrete house by Didonè Comacchio Architects. The project arranges living and sleeping rooms around green patios, using solid and permeable surfaces to manage views, light, and privacy.

Jinakachi anchors a singular hotel room along the Kuniga Coast in Shimane, Japan, reworked by Amane Architects within the long-standing Kuga-so property.

Architecture here acts as a lens rather than a spectacle.
Casa MA stands as a quietly expressive apartment in São Paulo, Brazil, imagined by RUA 141 Arquitetura for urban life lived across levels.

Generous light, carefully chosen materials, and a soft palette ground daily routines in a calm, tactile rhythm.
Passo Passo turns an early 20th-century gatehouse in Como, Italy into a compact house by Parentesi Studio for a young couple who joined the work on site.
