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. The project pairs noble materials with a calm, music-forward layout that folds vintage pieces into a contemporary rhythm. 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.
Project 21 lands in Ancaster, Canada, with a quiet confidence and an eye on longevity. Designed by SMPL Design Studio as a house for a young family, it leans into calm materials, measured asymmetry, and tailored millwork to set a restorative tone. The result favors warmth over gloss and movement over fuss, with curved gestures and tactile finishes threading through rooms meant to evolve as daily rhythms change.
Retreat in the Heart of the Dolomites is a two-level retreat in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy, by Parisotto+Formenton Architetti. Set within a historic ciasa, the project balances local building heritage with a quietly contemporary interior palette shaped by wood, light, and crafted pieces. The result reads as a measured Alpine home, made for unhurried days and clear mountain air.
Moradia do Retiro is a house in Santo Tirso, Portugal, designed by Ricardo Azevedo Arquitecto. The project works within an existing structure, preserving granite walls and a sloped tile roof while opening the domestic realm to a private exterior. It balances the client’s wish to keep the building’s character with the comforts of a contemporary home, drawing a clear line between what endures and what’s renewed.
Trevi Penthouse rises in Rome, Italy, a four-level apartment by Carola Vannini with rooms that open to the sky. The residence threads bold color, crafted materials, and panoramic terraces into a measured rhythm above the historic center. Across stacked levels, the plan balances grand gathering rooms and secluded retreats, using glass links, dark wood, and art to shape a contemporary urban home.
