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.

In doing so, it nudges an Edwardian layout toward present-day family life while still reading as part of its familiar terrace.

Across garden, envelope, and rooms, the project quietly rebuilds its material story rather than rewriting it.
Home Again transforms a 1950s house in Prague, Czech Republic, into an intimate retreat for two under the direction of Mimosa Architekti.

Original elements stay in play while new surfaces, windows, and crafted pieces give the house a calmer, more personal character for its next chapter.
Casa do Engenho sits within an agricultural estate in Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal, where architect Jorge Prata reworks an ancillary building into the family’s primary house.

Across two levels, everyday life unfolds between preserved stone, new wood, and a renewed connection to the surrounding landscape.
Day House sets a Victorian home in Malvern, Melbourne, Australia into a new rhythm for contemporary living. IF Architecture reworks the historic residence and later addition into a layered family house that pairs restored character with a composed modern palette.

Alden Mason House anchors a rare woodland pocket of Seattle, United States, where a creek, trees, and city life meet at the edge of Lake Washington. Reimagined by Ueda Design Studio, the mid-century house once built for painter Alden Mason now balances its original Northwest character with the needs of a contemporary family. The renovation treats the residence as a living archive, tuning comfort, light, and daily rituals without erasing its artistic roots.
