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.

Crescent House Renovation anchors a classic Toronto, Canada house with a contemporary rear addition by Akb Architects.

Brik is an 87 m² apartment in Žalec, Slovenia, designed by Vivijana Zorman for a couple.

Bronzino Apartment sits in Milan, Italy, overlooking a tree-lined square near Porta Venezia, and was designed by Gabriela Casagrande Arquitetura.

Natural materials and precise joinery steer the mood while contemporary pieces, including a sculptural armchair by Casagrande, give the rooms a clear identity without breaking the measured pace of the plan.
