Concrete Harmony House sets a calm yet expressive tone in Shilat, Israel, where Narkis Rubin Barazani shapes a contemporary family house around light and color. Large panes slide open to a shaded terrace while concrete, deep blues, and warm timber ground the interiors. Each room reads as part of a single narrative, from the crisp black kitchen to the gentle children’s rooms and the quietly composed main bedroom suite.
La Marea sits among the rolling fields of Magliano in Toscana, Italy, a contemporary country house shaped by Special Italy – Special Umbria. Open volumes, stone walls, and a sunlit palette give this rural retreat a distinctly modern edge while keeping its footing in the landscape. Inside, the studio layers warm textures, generous furniture, and vivid color so long days drift easily between interior rooms and outdoor terraces.
Concrete Harmony House sits in Shilat, Israel, as a crisp, contemporary house by Narkis Rubin Barazani.

Everyday life plays out across generous living, dining, and terrace zones, where each room keeps a consistent visual rhythm while allowing small moments of surprise.
Contemporary Renaissance transforms a suburban house in Montpellier, France into a calm dialogue between interior and garden. Brengues le Pavec orchestrates the renovation as a gentle thickening of thresholds, using wood, concrete, and carefully framed views to draw daily life outdoors. The project treats the existing shell as a backdrop for layered terraces, subdued rooms, and a new canopy that pulls the pool, lawn, and living areas into one continuous experience.
2PEAKS sets a semi-detached, multi-family residence in the Czech Republic with a crisp mountain stance. Designed by BekArch, the apartment-style building is aimed at short-stay escapes and keeps the peaks of Klínovec and Fichtelberg precisely centered from the dining tables. The project folds contemporary minimalism into a rugged setting, balancing warmth, wellness, and clear sightlines to the horizon.
Neuilly-sur-Seine sits in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France, crafted by KATZ Studio as an apartment tuned for listening, gathering, and ease.

A measured palette and tactile finishes anchor living, dining, and kitchen areas, while the bedroom settles into warm tones and softened silhouettes.
Villa JPC is a newly built house in the Netherlands by Guy de Vos, set close to the River Amstel. The plan follows the sun from first light in the bedrooms to sunset gatherings in a second-floor living room facing nature, with materials doing the quiet work: pre-finished teakwood, travertine, and microcement. Generous windows, plush seating, and a kitchen carved from rock speak to daily life as much as craft.
Apartment B sits in Bratislava, Slovakia, where GRAU architects refines a compact two-bedroom apartment into a clearer daily setting. The studio reshapes the plan, moves the toilet into the bathroom, and uses a gentle palette to map work, rest, and gathering. Color and volume carry the brief. Built-ins form a quiet backbone while freestanding pieces create breathing room and light finds the corridor through a glass-block wall.
