REN Apartment crowns the top of a building in Nova Lima, Brazil, where Jacobsen Arquitetura works with horizon-wide views in every direction. The duplex apartment for a young family turns its split levels, broad veranda, and long runs of glass into a continuous social landscape. Generous outdoor living, shaded by timber brise-soleils, anchors daily life high above the city and the surrounding mountains.
Shell is a courtyard house in Kyiv, Ukraine, conceived by Bezmirno as a quiet brick refuge on the edge of the city. Behind its monolithic shell, the home turns inward toward a planted patio, where light, texture, and family life concentrate around a single protected void. The project balances robust exterior architecture with a warm, flowing interior sequence tuned to daily rituals.
Nepita sits among pines and olive trees in Palazzolo Acreide, Italy, where DAA Studio reworks a 1990s country house into a precise play of volumes and color. The house becomes a collected retreat, its three blocks clarified through bold facades, tactile finishes, and a renewed relationship between living, sleeping, and cooking. Inside and out, the project turns memory into a clear, contemporary domestic landscape.
MAJC House rests in the gently rolling moraines of Soiano, Italy, as a single-family house by ARKDD that turns constraint into quiet clarity. The residence and its annex open toward a protected landscape, where glass, timber, and stone keep close company with the earth. Within this calibrated setting, structure, material, and light work together to frame daily life at a measured, unhurried pace.
Maison SE sits in the hills above Aix-en-Provence, France, where Isabelle Berthet Bondet arranges a 350 m² house as an extension of the surrounding pines. Broad glazing, deep terraces, and long rooflines draw the eye out toward the southwest horizon while sheltered rooms encourage slow, everyday rituals. The result is a relaxed contemporary residence that treats the Mediterranean landscape as its primary interior surface.
GF House sits in Itupeva, SP, Brazil, where Padovani Arquitetos shapes a lakefront house around a precise T-shaped plan and layered volumes. The residence unfolds as a sequence of social and private rooms oriented to the water, with landscaping and material choices reinforcing a quiet, contemporary character. Inside, earthy tones, generous ceiling heights, and a glass-walled wine cellar anchor a warm approach to everyday living and leisure.
Casa da Rocha Quebrada sits on the southern coast of São Miguel in Lagoa, Portugal, a concrete house by SO Arquitetura & Design. The project belongs to the parents of one of the studio’s founders, so the brief strips back every nonessential move and pairs a mineral exterior with a warmer interior. Exposed concrete, sheltered openings, and a simple plan respond to the harsh Atlantic edge without losing a sense of quiet domestic life.
Brutalist Panorama unfolds on the steep Panorama hill of Voula, Greece, where MKA architecture + construction shapes a duplex into two independent yet related homes. The multi unit housing project builds on Brutalist influences and contemporary minimalism, turning concrete, glass, and wood toward the sea views that define daily life. Across three staggered volumes, each residence navigates the gradient with its own sequence of rooms, balconies, and outdoor courts.
