Swoosh House sets a lively brief in motion in Australia, where Das Studio renovates and extends a long-loved family house. The project builds on a north-facing sandstone villa, replacing a gloomy lean-to with a generous rear addition shaped by an inverted roof truss. Across kitchen, living, and garden, daily life expands for a young athletic family ready for the next decade of gatherings and growth.
Borová Lada Cottage stands beyond the village in the Bohemian Forest, its late 19th-century frame renewed by Studio Plyš with a measured, material-forward hand.

The project reads as a calm rural house, not a showpiece, with interventions that respect memory and make room for new life.
Lagoon View sets a new benchmark above Tiburon, United States, where ridge roads crest and the bay opens wide.

Villa Ganymede is a house in Bali, Indonesia, by LUASA architects. The project pursues modern tropical living through deep roof overhangs, shaded terraces, and generous sliding doors that dissolve edges between rooms and garden. Inside, double-height volumes and floor-to-ceiling glass carry daylight across polished floors and quiet, open-plan arrangements, while outdoor rooms align with the pool and palms to extend daily routines into the breeze.
Haven House lands in Nosara, Costa Rica with a quiet confidence, its broad roofline throwing deep shade over a concrete plinth.

The project is a house with a minimalist attitude and a practical tropical toolkit, completed with warm timber surfaces drawn from the site itself.
House of Vid and Higurea sits on a cliff above Ostional, Costa Rica, where the Pacific wind and turtle nesting cycles set the rules.

It’s a house first, but its stance is environmental—quiet, resolved, and tuned to place.
Tiny House LUX lands in Niederanven, Luxembourg as a compact house by ODA Architects, conceived with the municipality as a real-world pilot for missing-middle housing.

Clear standards, local materials, and a digitally driven process push the model toward replicability without sidestepping national performance benchmarks.
