Red Rock sits on a Las Vegas, NV, United States parcel that looks east to the Strip and west to Red Rock Canyon. Faulkner Architects shapes this 2024 house as a low, earthbound composition that leans into the harsh desert climate rather than resisting it. Concrete, water, and shaded courts work together so daily life tracks the shifting light, wind, and temperature through the day and across the seasons.
Yield House rises above Vancouver, Canada, as a house conceived for extended family gatherings by Splyce Design. Set on an east–west lot in the city’s westside, the project balances privacy from the sidewalk with long views to mountains, ocean and skyline. Guests move through a measured sequence of walls, stairs and framed outlooks, arriving in a calm interior where social rooms, tucked service zones and quiet retreats stay connected yet distinct.
Casa MA stands as a quietly expressive apartment in São Paulo, Brazil, imagined by RUA 141 Arquitetura for urban life lived across levels. The project threads a warm, industrial-inflected interior through living room, kitchen, bedrooms, and a planted rooftop, giving a compact footprint surprising reach. Generous light, carefully chosen materials, and a soft palette ground daily routines in a calm, tactile rhythm.
Casa Salvaje stands in El Salvaje, Chacras Marítimas, Argentina, as a vacation house where Sol Galliano draws family life into direct contact with sea air and rural quiet. Conceived for large gatherings, the concrete and stone structure pivots around a central courtyard and rooftop terrace, guiding movement through light, water, and planted ground. Large and small moments of encounter shape how the family shares time across seasons.
Falcon Ledge Residence sits at the edge of a neglected ravine in Austin, United States, by Alterstudio Architecture. The compact house rises above the tree canopy while staying closely tied to the ground, turning a steeply falling lot once dismissed as unbuildable into a quiet perch. In this vertical home, daily life unfolds against layered views of foliage, suburban roofs, and sky.
Passo Passo turns an early 20th-century gatehouse in Como, Italy into a compact house by Parentesi Studio for a young couple who joined the work on site. The project keeps the villa entrance intact while reworking interiors step by step, pairing restored elements with measured contemporary interventions. Across basement, two main floors, and a newly usable attic, it traces a precise balance between memory and present-day living.
The Periphery rests on a high desert rise outside Boulder, UT, United States, where Locus.studio draws a measured line between refuge and exposure. This two-bedroom house unfolds above slickrock and wetlands, treating the vast Grand Staircase-Escalante boundary as both subject and partner. Sun, wind, and long views shape its concrete, steel, and oak shell, while a craft-led approach keeps the building tuned to the rhythms of its remote setting.
Roam Ranch steps out across a working landscape near Fredericksburg, United States, as a ground-up house by Baldridge Architects for ranchers rooted in modern life.

Under one extended roofline, the project recasts central Texas vernacular for a family moving from city rhythms to ranch work.
