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.
Sleeping Lab·Tang sits in Beijing, China, conceived by Atelier d’More as a hospitality project with a crafted touch. Set at a key village crossroads near Universal Studios, the reworked B&B turns a once-abandoned compound into a calm, white-walled retreat. 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. Set in the former Manifattura Tabacchi, the project turns a layered civic and monastic past into contemporary hospitality. The conversion restores the building’s generous volumes and stone fabric while aligning with five-star standards and local craft. 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.
