Inverted House rethinks suburban living on the hillside of Tbilisi, Georgia, where TIMM confronts a neighborhood of fences by turning the dwelling inward. The single-family house in Okrokana replaces the conventional boundary wall with inhabitable architecture, shaping daily life around two gardens rather than distant views. Within this protective perimeter, light, proportion, and a calibrated use of wood and white surfaces set the tone for calm, introverted domesticity.
Terrarium House compresses the chaos of Ladprao, Bangkok, Thailand into a quiet inward world shaped by Unknown Surface Studio.

Everyday life settles into a calmer, more legible rhythm across the reworked levels.
Winkelhaus sets a curved concrete silhouette against the forested edge of Winkel, Switzerland, aligning every room with valley views.

Across its U-shaped layout, concrete, stone, and glass work with light and breeze to keep the atmosphere open yet warm.
E30 – House in Caesarea sits in Caesarea, Israel, by architect Raz Melamed as a pool-centered house conceived first as a weekend retreat.

Calm surfaces and one decisive black beam tie every level into a clear, legible whole.
Halcyon House is a family house in Singapore by Ming Architects, conceived as a bright retreat for daily life and generous entertaining. A raised double-height living room, feature staircase, and car porch lounge anchor the home, while carefully chosen materials keep the interiors mellow and calm. The result is a layered composition where light, shadow, and volume shape how the family and their friends gather and move.
Hideaway House stands on an elevated plot in eastern Singapore, shaped by Ming Architects as both climate response and urban refuge. The house rises three metres above the street to meet flood regulations and push daily life away from the traffic, turning the main rooms inward toward filtered light, private gardens, and quiet views. An intricate skin of metal screens and natural finishes deepens the sense of withdrawal from the suburban row outside.
