Buddha’s House turns an apartment in Neihu, Taipei, Taiwan into a hybrid gallery and residence by designer Peny Hsieh. The project arranges a substantial Vajrayana Buddharupa collection within a calm, contemporary interior that still respects ritual and display. Living, meditating, and viewing art happen in rooms that read as both home and micro-museum, where light, shadow, and a measured palette guide the eye and settle the mind.
Résidence l’Échouage sits on a narrow point of land in Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures, Canada, where the St. Lawrence River presses close on both sides.

The project reads as a modest house from the ground yet quietly extends into a layered landscape of rooms, courtyards, and river views.
Casa Cajuí sits on a lush slope in Manaus, Brazil, where TROOST + PESSOA Architects read the forest and climate before drawing a single line.

What results is a home that stays close to the Amazonian landscape while holding onto a clear architectural order.

Every room leans on texture and light to hold its own quiet mood.
Casa Enoki sits on a steep hillside in Liberia, Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica, where dense dry-tropical vegetation drops toward the Pacific.

The result is an indoor-outdoor home that treats the surrounding landscape as both boundary and companion.
