MRLJ128 is a 2024 apartment renovation in Madrid, Spain, designed by Plutarco. What began as a modest intervention grew into an almost complete reworking of the home, reshaping the plan and sharpening its chromatic identity. Open social rooms, darker private interiors, and a bold mix of stone, oak, and black herringbone flooring set a contemporary mood against a more traditional residential shell.
PDLL70 is a house renovation in Madrid, Spain, designed by Plutarco. Reworking a 1934 home that had been abandoned for years, the project looks closely at the period in which it was built while remaking its rooms for contemporary living. Vaulted ceilings, glossy surfaces, and a careful mix of marbles, wood, terrazzo, and color shape an interior that moves between historical reference and everyday use.
Casa Colina is a house in Tulum, Mexico, designed by Estudio Paulina Villa Arquitectura as a sequence of arched rooms, courtyards, and terraces that open directly to the landscape.

Apartment House AVA sits in the dense heart of Andermatt, Switzerland, where OOS shapes an alpine apartment house tuned to contemporary life.

Casa Gálvez sits in Leon, Mexico, where Estudio Villagálvez turns a dense urban lot into a house oriented toward trees, patios, and changing light. The project stands between residential and industrial neighbors yet leans toward a bordering green area, drawing its everyday atmosphere from foliage, shade, and open views. A contemporary reading of traditional Mexican domestic forms grounds the house, so circulation, height, and air all pivot around a central courtyard.
Plumeria Courtyard House unfolds as a new private house in Singapore by K2LD Architects, organized around a remembered grove of plumeria trees. The courtyard at its center anchors a long, screened driveway and an L-shaped composition that protects family life from close neighbors while keeping the beloved garden in view. Angular roofs, operable louvers, and calm interior finishes tie this daily sequence of approach, arrival, and retreat into one coherent experience.
