House SW reimagines a 1975 house in Vienna, Austria with a calm, legible plan. Illichmann Architecture leads the renovation, addressing a once-dark entry, awkward circulation, and a poor link to the garden with a nimble reorganization. The project replaces a peripheral stair with a split run and brightens the core while preserving the building’s footprint.
Villa 18 lands in Madrid, Spain as a house by Fran Silvestre Arquitectos, composed with measured clarity and an eye toward the adjacent lake. The single-floor home organizes day and night functions across three offset volumes, making room for a southeast-facing terrace and a north-facing entry court. Calm materials and a choreographed route through water, light, and shade give daily life a clear rhythm without strain.
Casa Liquen sits a few minutes from the beach in Chacala, Nayarit, Mexico, conceived as a house that edges toward a boutique hospitality vibe. Designed by FinoLozano, the four-level project leans into material craft to meet coastal conditions and guest comfort.

House in Misano Adriatico stands in Misano Adriatico, Italy, as a low-slung house by Menichetti+Caldarelli Architetti.

The project reads as a calm domestic composition, where cabinetry, shelving, and soft seating organize generous rooms without fuss.
Catalog House converts two former flats into one family house in Edinburgh, United Kingdom, by PEND.

Across two levels, it balances open entertaining rooms with private quarters, giving the clients—owners of Catalog Interiors—a generous, flexible plan for living and hosting.
Palm Springs is a house in Palm Springs, CA, United States, designed by sticklab. The single-level home gathers daily life around a pool courtyard while long rooflines and slatted shade manage the desert light. Clear glazing opens the living areas to patios and gardens, setting up a measured back-and-forth between cooler interiors and sunlit outdoor rooms.
Lake Cle Elum anchors a crisp, modern house in Roslyn, WA, United States, where evergreens meet open water. Designed by sticklab, the residence occupies a small bench on a steep slope above the lake, paired with an 800-square-foot detached garage. The project steers toward clarity and durability, aligning large panes and low eaves with mountain weather and long views without losing the quiet feeling of a retreat.
Tintorum stands in Klausen, Italy, where Stefan Gamper Architecture reworks a 15th-century poorhouse into four pared-back apartments.

Inside, old stone and timber hold company with glass, steel, and larch, creating a measured conversation between eras.
