Perchée stands in a maple-wooded valley in Québec, Canada, conceived as a restrained house by Matière Première Architecture that barely touches the ground. The project threads itself along the slope, holding back from excessive clearing so daily life stays immersed in the forest. Interior rooms and covered terraces trade square footage for atmosphere, treating the surrounding trees as the constant companion to every movement through the house.
Holler House interior sets a warm, modern tone for a family house in NC, United States, crafted by Robinson Design Studio. Within a timber-lined shell, large black-framed windows pull the surrounding woods into every room, while stone, metal, and soft textiles keep the palette grounded and calm. The interiors prioritize easy daily living, generous gathering rooms, and a quiet visual rhythm that holds steady from kitchen to bedroom.
Chalet Cristallo stands on a steep slope above Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy, where 3ndy Studio shapes a contemporary alpine house against the Dolomites’ jagged skyline. The project organizes life across two terraced levels, tucking bedrooms and wellness rooms into the ground while lifting a glazed living floor toward the view. Inside, a continuous timber envelope and measured furnishings create a calm, warm counterpoint to the snow and exposed rock outside.
Residential House in Kaunas stands in a forest-fringed neighborhood of Kaunas, Lithuania, where Architectural Bureau G. Natkevicius & Partners shape a concrete house around ancient pines. The project turns a suburban corner plot into a quiet, inward-facing dwelling that still holds the surrounding forest close, using cast-in-place concrete and sharp geometry to negotiate privacy, light, and views. Inside and out, nature stays present in every daily routine.
Casa al Pradet stands on the last triangular plot of a quiet street in Vilamacolum, Spain, where agricultural fields press close to the village edge. Designed by Clara Crous Studio as a self-built house for architect Clara and her partner Carles, the project grows from local farming knowledge, contemporary timber fabrication, and a deep familiarity with the rhythms of the land that surrounds it.
Villa VDSC rises on a steep rocky plot in Málaga, Spain, where A-Plus Villas shapes a house around a commanding Algarrobo tree and expansive Mediterranean views. The villa threads interior rooms, terraces, and a pool between rock and horizon so that everyday life stays closely tuned to the changing city skyline and the light over the sea.
This project stands in Barbizon, France, as a house drawn deep into the Fontainebleau forest. In Sinu Architectes reshapes an existing structure with timber-frame additions, opening long views and layered thresholds between woodland and interior. The result is a calm domestic realm where controlled light, warm materials, and tailored furniture turn a once-ordinary house into an attentive retreat.
Casa La Vista stands above the dunes of Baja California, Mexico, as a cliffside house oriented to the open horizon and the meeting of sky and sea. Designed by Medeza, the residence stretches along a southeast axis that courts desert light, coastal winds, and long views toward San José and Punta Gorda. Across its wings, the architecture arranges daily life around shade, courtyards, and an unmistakably Baja terrain.
