PDLL70 is a house renovation in Madrid, Spain, designed by Plutarco. Reworking a 1934 home that had been abandoned for years, the project looks closely at the period in which it was built while remaking its rooms for contemporary living. Vaulted ceilings, glossy surfaces, and a careful mix of marbles, wood, terrazzo, and color shape an interior that moves between historical reference and everyday use.

Casa Colina is a house in Tulum, Mexico, designed by Estudio Paulina Villa Arquitectura as a sequence of arched rooms, courtyards, and terraces that open directly to the landscape. Designed in 2025, the project turns the clients’ wish for clear indoor-outdoor living into an arrival experience with real presence, then carries that calm through living areas, bedrooms, and bathing rooms shaped in stone, plaster, wood, and filtered light.

Casa Pueblomio sits in Manantiales, Punta del Este, Uruguay, where KLM architects work with slope, wind, and light to shape a coastal house. The project anchors itself half a level into the ground, turning terrain, patios, and planted edges into buffers between domestic life and the wider gated community. Concrete and natural wood frame everyday routines against a calm landscape, with upper-level rooms pulled back for privacy and long views.

Casa Gálvez sits in Leon, Mexico, where Estudio Villagálvez turns a dense urban lot into a house oriented toward trees, patios, and changing light. The project stands between residential and industrial neighbors yet leans toward a bordering green area, drawing its everyday atmosphere from foliage, shade, and open views. A contemporary reading of traditional Mexican domestic forms grounds the house, so circulation, height, and air all pivot around a central courtyard.

Plumeria Courtyard House unfolds as a new private house in Singapore by K2LD Architects, organized around a remembered grove of plumeria trees. The courtyard at its center anchors a long, screened driveway and an L-shaped composition that protects family life from close neighbors while keeping the beloved garden in view. Angular roofs, operable louvers, and calm interior finishes tie this daily sequence of approach, arrival, and retreat into one coherent experience.

Bend Hideaway sets a crisp modern house against the wooded edge of Bend, OR, United States, by San Francisco–based Feldman Architecture. The retreat supports recent empty nesters and their visiting family with a linear plan that folds around a lap pool, guest rooms, and shared rooms tuned to forest views. Here, an active daily rhythm meets a quiet, highly edited relationship to the 650-acre preserve next door.

Pine Residences sits among tall trunks in Saint-Ferréol-les-Neiges, Canada, where Agence Spatiale shapes a house in three quiet pavilions around an internal courtyard. From a discreet street frontage, the composition slowly reveals a warm, pared-back interior that leans on glass, light wood, and views of the forest to set the rhythm of daily life.

The Oasis House sets a quiet, controlled rhythm within Bangkok, Thailand, where Pongpat Architect shapes a compact house into a deeply inward-looking retreat. The project channels the clients’ wish for a modern home that feels like a private resort, turning a dense urban plot into a courtyard-centered dwelling. Every move responds to privacy, proportion, and daily rituals, translating a tight footprint into generous internal life.
