Attico M&S crowns an attic residence in Martina Franca, Italy, with a calm yet graphic interior by ABBW angelo bruno building workshop. The project turns a sunlit upper-level shell into a contemporary family home where soft neutrals, warm wood, and precise built-ins organize generous living, dining, and sleeping rooms under one continuous, light-washed ceiling. Daylight, color, and carefully scaled furnishings guide how the home is experienced from morning through late evening.
213 Attic in Villa Soranzo sits within a 16th-century villa in Fiesso d’Artico, Italy, where MIDE architetti reworks the historic attic into a contemporary penthouse. Daylight, restored beams, and resin flooring define a sequence that shifts from river-facing living areas to an intimate garden-side sleeping zone, tying present-day comfort to the villa’s enduring structure. Vintage and contemporary Italian pieces lend the home a cultured, quietly dramatic tone.
Bruno & Michele unfolds as a mountainside Atelier II I7 residence in Bolton-ouest, Canada, created by House for a steep, forested lot. The project sets a compact family home against the Sutton mountain profile, drawing wide horizons into the rooms while holding a disciplined, contemporary character. Inside, wood, glass, and calm volumes turn the seasonal landscape into the daily backdrop.
Casa LB turns a modest 1960s bifamily structure in Padova, Italy into a clear, contemporary house for one family. Studio Rossettini Architettura refines the original shell with a rational layout, generous daylight, and interiors tuned for art and daily life. The result keeps the existing volume while shifting the atmosphere toward a quiet, precise domestic setting grounded in concrete, white walls, and carefully placed wood.
Villino RV refits an unassuming 1980s terraced house in Lido di Ostia, Italy, into a calm and legible home by MAMESTUDIO, led by Maria Elena Amori and Matteo Bernardi. Across four compact levels, the architects organize family life into clear vertical bands while threading a single interior landscape that stays visually connected. Each floor supports a different rhythm of the day, yet the domestic story reads as one continuous sequence of rooms and light.
Le Très Petit Collectif stands on a coastal plot in Carry-le-Rouet, France, where AT Architectes reworks a modest 1950s house into compact contemporary dwellings. The project forms a very small collective of three adaptable units, using a new timber structure to wrap the original masonry shell while preserving the sandy garden and its established trees. Each apartment opens toward the Mediterranean light, framing outdoor terraces as extensions of everyday life.
Mountain Journey Family Suite reimagines a 130-square-metre suite in Shenzhen, China as an indoor topography for shared adventure and rest. Created by Archstudio for a public-interest initiative, the project turns a typical hotel layout into an explorable “mountain” that lets children roam while adults unwind. Families encounter a room that folds daily routines into play, where every level, tunnel, and platform supports both comfort and discovery.
AirOuse steps lightly onto the riverbank in Vila do Conde, Portugal, a low-slung house by Ernesto Pereira that leans into air, water, and light. Across its long plan, the project contrasts a fully glazed social wing with a more cloistered private realm, using warm timber and stone to hold the two together. The result is a calm domestic landscape where daylight, reflections, and easy movement define everyday life.
