The team preserves the existing framework while reshaping the entry and courtyards into a coherent sequence that brings daylight, privacy, and a sense of flow.
Casa Clausura sits in Mendiolaza, Argentina, as a single-family house by Agustín Lozada. The project resists suburban habits, settling low on the site and turning its back on the punishing western exposure. Instead of spectacle, the plan collects rooms around an inward courtyard with a pool, privileging light, shade, and privacy over frontage. It reads as a measured reply to its setting, quiet in posture yet exacting in intent.
Vista Ostuni is a hotel in Ostuni, Italy, designed by RMA | Roberto Murgia Architetto.

It reads as both an urban re-opening and a coastal retreat, binding the White City to the plain of olive trees and the sea beyond.

Patios House Landscaping stands on Brazil’s Costa Verde in Mangaratiba, where Rodrigo Oliveira shapes a lush, route-driven garden for a low-slung coastal residence by Studio MK27.

It’s a residential landscape tuned to breeze and light, a calm counterpoint to the mountain’s edge.
