Palm Springs is a house in Palm Springs, CA, United States, designed by sticklab. The single-level home gathers daily life around a pool courtyard while long rooflines and slatted shade manage the desert light. Clear glazing opens the living areas to patios and gardens, setting up a measured back-and-forth between cooler interiors and sunlit outdoor rooms.
Aschmüllerhof sits in Laives, Italy, a house by Stefan Gamper Architecture that quietly threads contemporary life into the Bozen lowlands.

Vale House settles into Rollingwood, United States, as a gabled stone house by Furman + Keil Architects.

A family house at heart, it guides daily life toward a kitchen that serves both routine and revelry with calm, durable materials.
River Road is a house in Austin, United States, by Furman + Keil Architects. The commission rethinks a remodeled 1954 ranch, restoring order with a clear plan and daylight.

Maison TO sits in Sari-Solenzara, France, within the small hamlet of Togna between the sea and the mountains.

Casa Plaj plants a precise, contemporary house on a narrow, sloped plot in Lourinhã, Portugal, with the Atlantic just a short walk away.

Wall House sits in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, a house by Gabriela Casagrande Arquitetura. The project reads as a low, horizontal pavilion opening to river and mountain views, with living areas spilling onto broad terraces.

Parkside is a compact two-storey house in Fitzroy North, Australia, by Austin Maynard Architects. Built at the rear of the owners’ former terrace block, the home fronts a leafy park and favors downsizing with dignity. The project distills daily life into a light-filled plan with a courtyard at its heart and long views to the trees. It’s designed for aging-in-place without giving up sociability or a sense of address.
