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.
A45 rises as a 5,900-square-foot penthouse in New Delhi, India, shaped by Architecture Discipline for a single owner with a serious love of art. The home stretches along the treetops, wrapped in glass and carved around a sculptural stair, setting up a calm urban aerie where collections, light, and measured material choices drive every room. What results is a precise yet warm retreat above the city’s dense texture.
House of Monitors sits on the Scarborough, Canada edge as a compact house shaped by light and structure. Designed by Williamson Williamson, the project responds to fragile bluff conditions with a precise mix of concrete shoring and cantilevered wood volumes. Within this tailored envelope, daily life unfolds against controlled daylight, tactile finishes, and a clear reading of how the building is made.
Casa Cubo reintroduces a familiar suburban house as a quiet contemporary landmark in Curitiba, Brazil. Estúdio Convexo Arquitetura retrofits the single-family home with a minimalist attitude, sharpening geometry outside and softening daily life inside. 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.
