Painters’ Apartment Reworks a Panel Flat with Art and Plywood Details

Painters’ Apartment is a compact apartment renovation in Prague, Czech Rep., designed by Neuhäusl Hunal for a young family of academic artists. Completed in 2020, the project works within a restricted budget and keeps the plan largely intact, using concrete, plywood, tile, reused furniture, art, and self-built elements to turn a small panel-house flat into a relaxed, flexible home.

The Stair House by NAKO Design

The Stair House by NAKO Design

The Stair House is a family home in Edmonton, Canada, shaped by NAKO Design in close collaboration with a client who’s an architect himself. Behind a modest brick façade, the house orchestrates four levels through a sequence of sculptural stairs and quiet rooms, setting a composed rhythm for daily life. The project reads as both workshop and dwelling, where material precision meets a warm, livable plan.

Casa Lua lands in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, with a poised urban presence and a clear view toward the Serra do Curral. TETRO Arquitetura organizes the house as four stacked levels on a steep slope, each one reading as a belvedere. The real estate type is a house, yet the layout stretches beyond a typical domestic plan, binding daily life to the horizon and the moonrise that clears the mountains.

Kazemat Koningsweg Recasts a Military Site as a Subtle Refuge

Kazemat Koningsweg sets a quiet tone on the Veluwe in the Netherlands, where JCR Architecten crafts a hideout that recedes into the land. The small holiday house occupies a former military compound now shared by housing, workplaces, and eleven compact retreats, and it meets the brief with angular restraint and a camouflaged stance. Sunken into the ground, it reads like a bunker from afar yet opens to treetop views and light within.

Casa en Asturias by Jovino Martínez Sierra Arquitectos

Casa en Asturias sits on a raised terrace in northern Spain, composed by Jovino Martínez Sierra Arquitectos as a contemporary house tuned to long coastal views. The project organizes daily life around a double‑height living room and a concrete walkway that threads the home like a quiet promenade. Broad glazing frames the Cantabrian horizon, while the pool and lawn extend the plan outward.

Janošík Headquarters and Showroom by Jakub Janosik

Janošík Headquarters and Showroom sits in the Czech Rep., where the White Carpathians drop from forest to meadow, and it carries the hand of designer Jakub Janošík. The project converts a 1950s grain hall into an office and showroom for a windows-and-doors maker, binding daily work to distant views and a working landscape. It’s an office, yes, but also a live laboratory for openings, thresholds, and light.
