Amnesia House sets a low, steady line against the foothills of Napa Valley, California, United States, its form shaped by Garde Hvalsøe with Edmonds + Lee Architects. Conceived as a single-storey house for San Francisco clients seeking a counterpart to urban life, the project leans into resilient materials and crafted interiors. The result is a calm retreat where wildfire-conscious construction, Danish cabinetry, and the raw terrain hold equal weight in the daily rhythm of use.
FD House sits in Porto Feliz, Brazil, as a vacation house by Padovani Arquitetos composed around an L-shaped plan and far-reaching views. The project drops below street level to frame water, sky, and landscape while reserving the upper volume for more private daily rhythms. Across its open social core and broad eaves, the house invites friends and family into a relaxed, quietly cinematic setting.
AirOuse steps lightly onto the riverbank in Vila do Conde, Portugal, a low-slung house by Ernesto Pereira that leans into air, water, and light. Across its long plan, the project contrasts a fully glazed social wing with a more cloistered private realm, using warm timber and stone to hold the two together. The result is a calm domestic landscape where daylight, reflections, and easy movement define everyday life.
A45 rises as a 5,900-square-foot penthouse in New Delhi, India, shaped by Architecture Discipline for a single owner with a serious love of art. The home stretches along the treetops, wrapped in glass and carved around a sculptural stair, setting up a calm urban aerie where collections, light, and measured material choices drive every room. What results is a precise yet warm retreat above the city’s dense texture.
Nhong Bua House stretches low along a lakeside plot in Thailand, arranged by local studio Make It Pop as a calm, light-filled house for everyday life. White gabled volumes, breezeblock screens, and long glazed walls pull in views of water and garden while holding back the tropical sun. Inside, pale timber floors and a restrained palette keep the focus on air, shade, and the changing light across the courtyard pool.
Casa Errante anchors a 120-square-meter apartment in Rome, Italy, reworked by designer Raffaella Falbo into a home of light, storage, and quiet rhythm. The renovation refines a once-dated layout with a new master suite, generous kitchen, and layered color story that threads from entry hall to living room. Soft terracotta, sage, and celadon land against oak and metal, giving everyday rooms a composed and distinctly Roman intimacy.
122_BIC stands at the end of a quiet Swiss lane, where houses and dense greenery frame a modest suburban plot. LACROIX | CHESSEX use the compact site to organize a multigenerational house, pairing a family home with an adjoining residence for the grandmother. Raw concrete, generous glazing, and a clear internal sequence work together to stretch a tight budget while opening daily life toward the garden and pool beyond the walls.
PatchWorked sits on a family farmstead in Nixa, MO, United States, by Dake Wells Architecture, recasting familiar outbuildings as a compact house-scale outpost for daily life. The project folds a detached garage and office into one elongated volume, giving these soon-to-be empty nesters a clear divide between work and home while staying rooted among older barns and open fields. Inside and out, the building tracks the rhythms of remote work, chores, and quiet evenings outdoors.
