Compass Haus is a house in Longboat Key, FL, United States, designed by SOLSTICE Planning and Architecture in 2017. Elevated one story to meet flood rules, it responds to waterfront setback lines with a minimalist form and a plan oriented toward Sarasota Bay. The house links kitchen, entry, living, and dining areas to the water, while the stair, roof terrace, and landscape shape daily movement.

Sint-Anna transforms a once-blocky 1970s house in Kortrijk, Belgium, into an elevated retreat by Decancq-Vercruysse Architects. The project inverts the traditional layout, lifting everyday living to the first floor and surrounding it with terraces and trees. What began as an under-budget duplex becomes a calm suburban home, tuned to garden light, shifting seasons, and a quieter pace of life.
