Tetris House rests in Greece, a house by ARP – Architecture Research Practice that starts from an abandoned concrete frame and turns it into a precise living structure. The architects work within tight local regulations and a dense village context to pursue reuse over replacement. What emerges is a balanced arrangement of rooms and terraces around a central pool, with measured openings to the port and the island’s rough northern edge.

Scullion Architects has extended and renovated a Victorian terraced house in Dublin, Ireland. Named Apple Tree Terrace, the project features a hybrid construction that includes a concrete frame ground floor and a timber frame first floor. Completed in 2023, the renovation uses handmade terracotta floor tiles to unite indoor and outdoor spaces.
