Villa Ousia sits on a hillside above Pitsidia, Greece, where Paly Architects condense a house into three offset volumes shaped by stone, earth-toned plaster, and glass. The arrangement pivots around a pool and a pair of pergolas, threading the rooms to outdoor life while softening wind and sun. Built between 2023 and 2025, the residence reads as concise and deliberate, with local materials setting the tone indoors and out.
Moradia do Retiro is a house in Santo Tirso, Portugal, designed by Ricardo Azevedo Arquitecto. The project works within an existing structure, preserving granite walls and a sloped tile roof while opening the domestic realm to a private exterior. It balances the client’s wish to keep the building’s character with the comforts of a contemporary home, drawing a clear line between what endures and what’s renewed.
Private House in Munich stands in the Bogenhausen district of Munich, Germany, where a corner plot meets a small square. Studio Mark Randel arranges three cuboid volumes to engage the street and fold back toward a private garden, making a house that reads quiet from the outside and generous within. It’s a residence tuned to its crossroads setting, aligned to neighbors yet oriented to daylight and calm.
Concrete House occupies a steep lot in Goiânia, Brazil, where Dayala e Rafael Arquitetos Associados organize living across two tiered levels. The house reads as low, confident horizontals—social rooms flow at grade to a pool terrace, while a closed upper volume gathers the private rooms. Structural clarity drives the project, using long spans, cantilevers, and a lean material palette to settle the home into its terrain without heavy earthwork.
House Beneath the Cross Hill sits on a gentle slope in Rokycany, Czech Republic, a modest house by Hurá Studio for the architect’s parents. The timber-forward interior gathers daylight through large, square windows and a measured plan with shared rooms at grade. Calm and personal, the home favors craft over show and keeps a direct line to the landscape.
Casa Yakisugi sits in Sorisole, Italy, where the foothills of Bergamo shape its outlook and rhythm. Designed by Edoardo Milesi & Archos in 2022, the single-family house turns toward the garden and the mountain horizon rather than the surrounding residential fabric. Charred larch, fair-faced concrete, and a pale birch interior set a clear dialogue between sturdy enclosure and warm refuge.
Casa F. is an apartment in Roma, Italy, redesigned by CLACstudio. The studio recasts daily rooms with custom furniture, a colored metal screen, and a carefully tuned lighting program. Completed in 2023, the project balances easy circulation with a lively palette that keeps the home crisp yet warm.
Trevi Penthouse rises in Rome, Italy, a four-level apartment by Carola Vannini with rooms that open to the sky. The residence threads bold color, crafted materials, and panoramic terraces into a measured rhythm above the historic center. Across stacked levels, the plan balances grand gathering rooms and secluded retreats, using glass links, dark wood, and art to shape a contemporary urban home.
