Climate-responsive architecture / Tag

Bao Lam Retreat stands in Lam Dong, Vietnam, as a house shaped for quiet retreat in the highlands, designed by 6717studio. Curving along the slope and opening to forests and distant peaks, the project turns a private dwelling into a place for emotional reset. Large glazing, red-toned walls, and open interiors frame the landscape while sustaining a close, daily dialogue with the region’s cool air and changing light.

PCG House sets a composed horizontal line against the light of Loulé, Portugal, where Visioarq Arquitectos grounds a contemporary house in its sloping terrain. Glass, terraces, and a long infinity pool open the rooms toward the southern horizon, while careful solar orientation shapes how the family moves through the day. The result is a residence tuned to climate and view without losing clarity of form.
