Bend Hideaway sets a crisp modern house against the wooded edge of Bend, OR, United States, by San Francisco–based Feldman Architecture. The retreat supports recent empty nesters and their visiting family with a linear plan that folds around a lap pool, guest rooms, and shared rooms tuned to forest views. Here, an active daily rhythm meets a quiet, highly edited relationship to the 650-acre preserve next door.
Penthouse with 360° Ocean Views crowns a residential tower in Brazil, where architect Simara Melo shapes an expansive vacation apartment for a young entrepreneurial family. Panoramic Atlantic and city views wrap the single-level layout, which separates social and private zones while holding a pool, gourmet area, and covered terrace. Neutral materials, custom furnishings, and integrated technology keep the rooms bright, practical, and calm for holidays that easily slide into everyday living with three children.
Casa L5 sits in Poble Nou de Benitatxell, Alicante, Spain, as a coastal house by Pasqual Giner Arquitectura that turns directly toward the sea horizon. The project, developed with Auñón Cabrera, brings architecture, interiors, and material choices into one measured composition where the view drives every move. White planes, stone plinths, and warm wood set a quiet tone for daily life overlooking the Mediterranean.
Brighton Sands is a four-level house in Brighton, Australia, by Melbourne practice mckimm, conceived as a calm yet luxurious home for a young family. The coastal residence draws on LA hillside living, with layered interiors, lush planting, and open terraces that keep daily life close to air, light, and water. Every level, from basement retreat to rooftop terrace, leans into organic materials and sculptural forms that stay generous and refined.
Villa MA anchors a hillside in San Miniato, Italy, where Marco Stacchini composes a house around color, art, and luminous social rooms. Inside, contemporary furniture, graphic wall treatments, and generous glazing give the domestic rhythms a gallery-like charge while still reading as an Italian family home. From pool terrace to double-height living room, the villa turns everyday rituals into a sequence of vivid interiors.
Kailua House sits just inland from the shoreline of Kailua, Hawaii, United States, where Mork-Ulnes Architects shape a dense neighborhood lot into an inward-looking retreat. The house turns toward lush planting, a grass-roofed lanai, and a long pool, arranging daily life around water, shade, and garden rather than the street. Inside, warm timber, concrete, and broad glass walls support a calm rhythm of cooking, gathering, and rest tuned to the island climate.
Casa A occupies a steep urban plot in Braga, Portugal, where L2C Arquitectura studies the slope instead of fighting it. The house steps down the hillside in quiet terraces, aligning itself with stone walls, streets, and long southern and western views. This measured approach turns a difficult Barros plot into a layered domestic landscape, with exterior rooms and interior volumes sharing the same grounded, horizontal rhythm.
Villa Kouhsar traces a measured route through Koohsar, a developing villa district in Alborz Province, Iran, where orchards give way to new construction. Hopo Design shapes the house as a careful negotiation between front yard, built volume, and pool courtyard, using courtyards, axes, and controlled openings to handle privacy, security, and climate. Across this compact plot, each movement from gate to water builds a distinct yet continuous domestic experience.
