Private Villa stands on the hills above Castellina Marittima, Italy, where ANDstudio Architects guide the restoration of a historic house into a layered rural retreat. The project pairs renewed structure and a new pool with expressive interiors, folding contemporary art, saturated color, and generous volumes into the villa’s long, arched rooms. Visitors move through vaulted halls and bright salons that keep the building’s past in view while easing present-day country life.
The Catcher stands on the outskirts of Shanghai, China, where rice fields press close to the walls of a once-ordinary rural compound. TEAM_BLDG transforms this house into the Chunli Guesthouse, turning two self-built homes into an 11-room retreat framed by courtyards, terraces, and sunken seating. Guests move between interior and landscape in measured steps, watching the fields slide past as the architecture folds around them.
Casa LB turns a modest 1960s bifamily structure in Padova, Italy into a clear, contemporary house for one family. Studio Rossettini Architettura refines the original shell with a rational layout, generous daylight, and interiors tuned for art and daily life. The result keeps the existing volume while shifting the atmosphere toward a quiet, precise domestic setting grounded in concrete, white walls, and carefully placed wood.
Casa More sits in Mérida, Mexico, where Workshop: Diseño y Construcción reworks a midcentury Art Decó house into a layered domestic sequence. The house retains its 1940s character at the street and unfolds toward a new terrace and pool, moving from restored interiors to tropical gardens. Each zone reads as a chapter in the same story, shaped by climate, memory, and the easy pace of Yucatán life.
Viewridge sits on a leafy corner lot in San Mateo, CA, United States, where Feldman Architecture reworks a modest ranch house into a more open home. The renovation keeps the original low profile while reorganizing rooms, circulation, and outdoor terraces to support contemporary family living. Indoor and outdoor areas now trade light, views, and shelter, giving the house a new clarity without sacrificing its privacy.
Casa MZ reimagines a mid-century house in Iseo, Italy, through the precise eye of architect Andrea Pagani. The project joins a first-floor 1960s apartment with its former attic, creating a luminous double-height living volume and a tailored studio for the art historian owner. Original structure and contemporary interventions sit in close dialogue, giving this domestic interior a fresh rhythm while holding tight to the building’s layered history.
House reborn: renews a private family house in Israel by Spiegel Architects, led by architect Ron Spiegel, through a careful renovation rather than demolition. The project reshapes an existing split-level home for a couple and their two children, prioritizing light, greenery, and a richer daily routine. Across interior rooms and garden settings, the intervention balances inherited structure with a newly cohesive material palette that threads through every level.
Edwardian Home Renovation reimagines a three-storey house in Greater London, England, United Kingdom, with Footprint Architects steering a careful yet confident upgrade. The practice works inside Richmond’s established streetscape to refine circulation, improve light, and strengthen the link between the house and its long garden. In doing so, it nudges an Edwardian layout toward present-day family life while still reading as part of its familiar terrace.
