Gentle Mates Gaming House draws visitors through a sequence of charged interiors in Paris, France, devised by ZYVA Studio for a professional esports collective. Set up as a leisure-focused gaming house, the project layers honey-toned wood, neon light, and candy-core color to mirror the psychological shifts of competition. Each level stages a different tempo, from calm preparation to hyper-focused play, while keeping the team closely connected.
Nepita sits among pines and olive trees in Palazzolo Acreide, Italy, where DAA Studio reworks a 1990s country house into a precise play of volumes and color. The house becomes a collected retreat, its three blocks clarified through bold facades, tactile finishes, and a renewed relationship between living, sleeping, and cooking. Inside and out, the project turns memory into a clear, contemporary domestic landscape.
Apartment DFP converts an attic apartment in Brixen, Italy into a clear, open loft shaped by light and measured surfaces. Designed by AKT.studio in 2024, the project reorders daily life around the path of the sun, pulling social rooms toward views and tucking quieter zones into sheltered corners. A restrained palette of wood, stone, metal, and textiles gives the interior a calm, continuous rhythm that still reads as distinctly domestic.
Maison SE sits in the hills above Aix-en-Provence, France, where Isabelle Berthet Bondet arranges a 350 m² house as an extension of the surrounding pines. Broad glazing, deep terraces, and long rooflines draw the eye out toward the southwest horizon while sheltered rooms encourage slow, everyday rituals. The result is a relaxed contemporary residence that treats the Mediterranean landscape as its primary interior surface.
Lakeside stands in Birmingham, United States, where Disbrow Iannuzzi Architects shape a Y-shaped house along the River Rouge and its mature gardens. The 4,000-square-foot residence channels the client’s background as a curator of Asian art into a quiet composition of white ash and black slate, tuned to long-framed views and changing light. Inside, the rooms read like a lived-in gallery for handcrafted objects and decades of landscape care.
Vitus Headquarters / 2607 2nd Avenue brings an adaptive office renewal to Seattle, WA, United States, shaped by Graham Baba Architects for a mission-driven housing company. Inside the former 1920s timber-and-masonry structure, the firm organizes retail, workplace, and penthouse levels into a cohesive daily environment that balances work, art, and gathering across four floors. The result is a workplace that reads as both civic and personal in tone.
Palmento reimagines an ancient grape-processing palmento in Ragusa, Italy as a restaurant led by architect Giuseppe Iacono. Thick stone walls, timber roofs, and the ghosts of vats frame a new ritual of dining that keeps the building’s rural character present. Guests cross a low stone threshold and move between gardens, halls, and courtyards as the project works with layers of history rather than wiping them away.
Ridge House settles between field and forest in Owen Sound, Canada, where superkül shapes a rural house around slope, wind, and long horizontal views. The project treats the ridge as both datum and shelter, using a singular roofline to gather four-season rooms that stay close to the ground and even closer to the surrounding woods. Inside, calm finishes and controlled light keep the focus on climate, texture, and the slow movement of the day.
