Shoreline House sits in Victoria, Canada, where suburban plots meet a rocky inlet and tall firs. Splyce Design renovates a 1960s house and threads in a compact, single-storey addition that respects sensitive shoreline habitat while sharpening the home’s relationship to light and view. The result is a coastal house with a new primary suite and a measured environmental stance.
Copper Canyon House stands at the base of Camelback Mountain in Paradise Valley, AZ, United States, conceived by Architecture-Infrastructure-Research. The house reads as a thin copper tent raised on a concrete slab, poised above a scatter of boulders and washes. It’s a residential project that treats climate as a driver, pulling landscape and light through a broad central pavilion while carving quieter masonry rooms to the sides.
Altes Gericht lands inside Klausen, Italy’s listed Old Courthouse, where Stefan Gamper Architecture converts the upper levels into two compact apartments. The real estate type is apartment, but the project reads as a precise interior refit with a gentle hand. Under steep roofs and between old beams, the studio shapes calm rooms and puts every centimeter to work without noise or fuss.
Kessler’s Mountain Lodge anchors a reimagined farmstead in Natz-Schabs, Italy, where hospitality meets working agriculture. Stefan Gamper Architecture shapes a multi-building retreat around a protected courtyard, balancing guest comfort with regional materials and rhythm. Set within the alpine landscape, the lodge reads as both a guesthouse and a living farm, with chalets and apartments threaded into day-to-day production.
Wall House sits in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, a house by Gabriela Casagrande Arquitetura. The project reads as a low, horizontal pavilion opening to river and mountain views, with living areas spilling onto broad terraces. Concrete planes, timber screens, and expansive glazing set a clear architectural rhythm, while a generous pool court anchors outdoor life.
Apartment Beige sits in Ljubljana, Slovenia, where designer Vivijana Zorman converts a once-partial attic into a full apartment for a family of five. The renovation centers the high, bright living core while placing bedrooms beneath the roof’s lower pitches, turning constraint into order and daily ease. Calm materials—beige tones and natural oak—tie the rooms together without fuss.
House at Nøtterøy sits on a small hilltop in Norway, its compact house form tuned to a tight plot and a family budget. Designed by KOHT Arkitekter, the two-level home shares a dialogue with an adjacent main house while carving its own clear plan. A reserved exterior gives way to a generous, open upper level arranged for daily life and long views.
Apartment O lands inside a 1930s attic in Suttgart, Germany, where SOMAA rethinks a compact apartment into a vivid, flexible home. The project turns two small units and a former storage loft into one open interior anchored by a cook’s kitchen and a walkable bookshelf stair. It’s an urban retreat that swaps hard partitions for soft boundaries and surprise gestures, from a secret bathroom door to a curtain that reveals a workplace on demand.
