Casa Cubo reintroduces a familiar suburban house as a quiet contemporary landmark in Curitiba, Brazil.

The project focuses on clarity, light, and durable materials so the renewed house can absorb family routines while staying visually calm from facade to garden.
Casa in Via Buonarroti sits inside a historic building in Rome, Italy, where damaSTUDIO works with the apartment’s long memory rather than against it. Barrel vaults, painted ceilings, and hexagonal terracotta floors anchor the renovation, while a clear contemporary attitude refines circulation, daily comfort, and the material palette. The result is a home that reads as one narrative, even as old and new keep their distinct voices.
Casa Verticale reworks a tall independent house in Santa Flavia, Italy, treating the apartment as a vertical sequence of rooms.

The result ties daily life to a clear upward movement through the building.
Casa Errante anchors a 120-square-meter apartment in Rome, Italy, reworked by designer Raffaella Falbo into a home of light, storage, and quiet rhythm.

Soft terracotta, sage, and celadon land against oak and metal, giving everyday rooms a composed and distinctly Roman intimacy.

Every room pushes for comfort while holding a firm line with the conservation area outside.
LH Residence sits in the Metropolitan District of Quito, Pichincha, Ecuador, as a single-family house by Side FX Arquitectura that treats density as a design prompt.

Casa Origine turns a former village fuel station in Caserta, Italy, into a layered apartment by Pianozero Architetti.
