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.
Horní Malá Úpa Mountain Chalet anchors a steep hillside in the Czech Republic with a panoramic gaze toward the Úpa River valley and Sněžka. Designed by OK Plan Architects, the new-build chalet balances National Park constraints with a modern family brief, reading traditional Krkonoše cues through a crisp, durable shell. Inside, warm textures and large glazing steer daily life toward the views, while discreet energy systems keep comfort steady year-round.

Known as TFR Residence, the house features a modern design with a clear formal language and an elemental material palette.
