Flintstones is a contemporary house in Winterborne Whitechurch, United Kingdom, by Western Design Architects. Set on a steep former chalk quarry beside listed cottages and a Grade I church, the house negotiates village heritage and modern life in a single gesture. Across three carefully arranged levels, it brings light, openness, and practical family comfort to a sensitive Conservation Area setting.
Mustard Building stands in Vila Real de Santo António, Portugal, where Aurora Arquitectos works within strict heritage rules to extend an existing urban house. The new four-floor volume turns a protected city-center plot into a compact residential complex, drawing on calm interiors and generous openings to the patio. Here, measured gestures reshape daily life without losing sight of the original rose-hued story.
Iron Chef sits in Australia, a new house by Das Studio calibrated for a family of makers. The commission rethinks an inner-suburban block hemmed by heritage controls and two significant river red gums. Inside, a robust palette aligns with the client’s steel fabrication know-how while the plan respects a generous tree protection zone, translating context into structure and daily life.
