Casa Clausura sits in Mendiolaza, Argentina, as a single-family house by Agustín Lozada. The project resists suburban habits, settling low on the site and turning its back on the punishing western exposure. Instead of spectacle, the plan collects rooms around an inward courtyard with a pool, privileging light, shade, and privacy over frontage. It reads as a measured reply to its setting, quiet in posture yet exacting in intent.
Damnak Soriya sets a raised, light-washed profile against the foothills of Kampot, Cambodia.

House on Sag Harbor sits on the western shore of Sag Harbor Bay in Sag Harbor, New York, United States. Designed by 1100 Architect, the new family house adopts a clear, barn-inspired plan that links daily life with water, meadow, and trees. Two rectangular wings meet at right angles and open onto a waterside terrace, a screened porch, and a path to a modest mid-century cottage by the shore.

It reads as both an urban re-opening and a coastal retreat, binding the White City to the plain of olive trees and the sea beyond.

It’s a residential landscape tuned to breeze and light, a calm counterpoint to the mountain’s edge.
