Casa Salvaje stands in El Salvaje, Chacras Marítimas, Argentina, as a vacation house where Sol Galliano draws family life into direct contact with sea air and rural quiet. Conceived for large gatherings, the concrete and stone structure pivots around a central courtyard and rooftop terrace, guiding movement through light, water, and planted ground. Large and small moments of encounter shape how the family shares time across seasons.
House VCH anchors a calm residential plot in La Moraleja, Alcobendas, Spain, where FH2L Arquitectos choreographs water, patios, and garden as one continuum. The house unfolds as a layered sequence of light-filled rooms and outdoor rooms, using proportion and careful orientation to maintain privacy while staying visually open. Across three levels, the project balances family life, leisure, and environmental responsiveness with a confident yet quiet architectural presence.
Loui Paris sets a quiet tone in the heart of Paris, France, where Holzrausch crafts a family house as a tribute to wood and restraint. Behind a closed gate in the 11th arrondissement, the home withdraws from the street into a courtyard and garden, trading the city’s noise for calm rooms defined by oak, plaster, stone, and concealed technology.

It holds to the hillside without heavy earthwork and turns the ground level into a breezy undercroft for gathering.

Claustro House anchors a hill town in Zapallar, Chile, with a clear, almost classical idea reworked for family life. Espiral Arquitectos centers the house on a cloistered courtyard, drawing movement inwards and light from above, while a two-level plan separates social rhythms from retreat.

Casa FM is a new house in Porto, Portugal, by António Bessa Cruz Architects. Set on a former car repair shop near Agramonte Cemetery, the project replaces an inadequate structure with a ground-up build that preserves an industrial attitude.
