House in Misano Adriatico stands in Misano Adriatico, Italy, as a low-slung house by Menichetti+Caldarelli Architetti. Sliding walls, shaded terraces, and a linear pool set the daily rhythm while a restrained palette does the quiet work inside. The project reads as a calm domestic composition, where cabinetry, shelving, and soft seating organize generous rooms without fuss.
Wall House sits in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, a house by Gabriela Casagrande Arquitetura. The project reads as a low, horizontal pavilion opening to river and mountain views, with living areas spilling onto broad terraces. Concrete planes, timber screens, and expansive glazing set a clear architectural rhythm, while a generous pool court anchors outdoor life.
Oak House lands in Pedrezuela, Spain, by Muka Arquitectura as a house shaped by trees, water, and a disciplined concrete frame. The plan yields to two oaks and a northern view over the reservoir, then tightens into an interior journey that rises in privacy and light. Built in 2024, the residence uses a single material system to bind structure, enclosure, and daily life.
Hira unfolds in India as a layered house by Fulcrum Studio, paired with an adjoining office that extends the narrative beyond domestic life. The residence moves between introspection and conviviality, where concrete, marble, metal, and heirloom textiles pull against one another. Four stacked levels orbit a sunlit void and shape a choreography of light, shade, and reflection. The office next door continues the experiment, translating material tactility into a kinetic workplace.
Casa Clausura sits in Mendiolaza, Argentina, as a single-family house by Agustín Lozada. The project resists suburban habits, settling low on the site and turning its back on the punishing western exposure. Instead of spectacle, the plan collects rooms around an inward courtyard with a pool, privileging light, shade, and privacy over frontage. It reads as a measured reply to its setting, quiet in posture yet exacting in intent.
Bradley Edwards Architects designed this home on an old trout farm in Springdale, Arkansas.

Positioned on a steep hillside, the house includes three bedrooms and utilises concrete, glass, and charred wood.
Wohnhaus AGM is situated in Montaccio, a small hamlet in the Bergell region, Switzerland. Renovated by Renato Maurizio Architekten in 2024, the house combines historical and contemporary elements.
The design focuses on preserving the building’s original 1719 structure, using rough stone masonry and lime plaster alongside exposed concrete for new structural elements. Old timber cladding and roof beams are repurposed as floorboards, wall cladding, window, and door frames, maintaining the house’s historical character and blending it with modern additions.
Sydney architect David Parsons has breathed new life into a Californian Classic bungalow in the leafy suburb of Rosebery, transforming it into a sun-drenched sanctuary that celebrates seamless indoor-outdoor living. Designed in 2022, this comprehensive renovation fulfilled the clients’ vision for an additional level with two bedrooms and an ensuite, a redesigned open-plan living area, and a new double garage.
Balancing heritage and height restrictions with the need for ample sunlight was a key challenge, but the meticulous design process, aided by 3D modelling, resulted in a solution that met all requirements.
