Villa EF unfolds along the shoreline of Bardolino, Italy, where Depaolidefranceschibaldan Architetti revisit a 1960s holiday house with a calm, contemporary attitude.

Stone, glass, and soft green metal set a measured tone that lets the surrounding olives and water carry the scene.

Its layered geometry and expressive lighting turn climate-responsive planning into a clear architectural presence for a modern family.
LH Residence sits in the Metropolitan District of Quito, Pichincha, Ecuador, as a single-family house by Side FX Arquitectura that treats density as a design prompt.
