House in the Vines stands on a gentle ridge in Renmark, Australia, looking out across orderly rows of vines and the Riverland horizon. James Allen Architect extends the century-old house for a young family, replacing a dated rear wing with new rooms that keep the original stone walls and rural trees at the center of daily life.
Herol stands on the high meadows of Lüsen, Italy, where Stefan Gamper Architecture reinterprets the archetype of the alpine chalet as a quiet, contemporary farmstead. The project folds traditional pitched roofs, larch cladding, and white-plastered masonry into a compact residential ensemble that engages both the landscape and agricultural life around it. Interiors lean on natural tones and tactility, creating a calm rhythm between private family living and welcoming guest accommodation.
Anti-Shed sits in Winthrop, WA, United States, a house by Syndicate Smith shaped by the Methow Valley’s sharp seasons and long mountain views. The project trades the region’s familiar glassy shed roofs for a pared-back gable form, drawing instead on the owners’ Scandinavian travels and a close reading of wind, snow, and sun. Inside and out, it balances exposure and shelter in a way that feels precise yet relaxed.
Casa Nola stands as a house in Cachipay, Colombia, by Yemail Arquitectura, set among water, soil, and trees in a charged rural landscape. The project treats movement as a starting point, asking how bodies ascend, lie down, and cross thresholds while staying in dialogue with light and climate. Built in 2024, it treats the ground, large stones, and fired clay mass as equal partners in shaping daily life.
Chicureo House stretches low across its golf-course edge in Colina, Chile, a precise single-family house by Nicolas Loi Architects. The project organizes domestic life between a concrete plinth and a deep timber roof that temper the harsh sun while keeping living areas connected to the landscape. Generous interstitial zones pull daily routines outdoors, from barbecues to poolside evenings, so the house reads as a long porch facing the fairways.

Ft. Greene Brownstone stands on a tree-lined block in Brooklyn, Kings County, NY, United States, its restored facade anchoring the row. Sherman Architects reworks the landmark house as a tall, light-filled home where a family moves between books, play, and garden. Behind the rebuilt stoop and cast-stone ornament, the interior shifts from intimate rooms to a double-height living volume that opens wide to the backyard for daily use.
Mission Canyon Residence sits high above Santa Barbara, CA, United States, where NMA Architects align coastal light, ocean air, and mountain views around a resilient hillside house. The project replaces a home lost in the 2009 Jesusita Wildfire and rethinks indoor–outdoor living through careful siting, fire-conscious construction, and climate-responsive comfort. Every room leans into a distinct panorama while maintaining year-round livability and safety.
