Rathnelly House anchors a comprehensive renovation in Toronto, Canada by Studio VAARO, reshaping an Edwardian semi-detached home into a materially rich multi-family residence. The project enlarges usable area within the existing footprint through structural rethinking and a sculptural approach to concrete, wood, stone, and plaster. Across floors, crafted millwork, curving partitions, and an evolving stair establish a clear narrative of construction and comfort that supports family life and entertaining.
The Recontruction of an Apartment in Prague by ATELIER 111 architekti showcases a stunning transformation of a historic 20th-century apartment in the heart of the Czech capital.

Elegant brass accents and a cohesive ivory color palette tie together the apartment’s blend of contemporary and traditional elements.
