Anti-Shed sits in Winthrop, WA, United States, a house by Syndicate Smith shaped by the Methow Valley’s sharp seasons and long mountain views. The project trades the region’s familiar glassy shed roofs for a pared-back gable form, drawing instead on the owners’ Scandinavian travels and a close reading of wind, snow, and sun. Inside and out, it balances exposure and shelter in a way that feels precise yet relaxed.
Casa Nola stands as a house in Cachipay, Colombia, by Yemail Arquitectura, set among water, soil, and trees in a charged rural landscape. The project treats movement as a starting point, asking how bodies ascend, lie down, and cross thresholds while staying in dialogue with light and climate. Built in 2024, it treats the ground, large stones, and fired clay mass as equal partners in shaping daily life.
Chicureo House stretches low across its golf-course edge in Colina, Chile, a precise single-family house by Nicolas Loi Architects. The project organizes domestic life between a concrete plinth and a deep timber roof that temper the harsh sun while keeping living areas connected to the landscape. Generous interstitial zones pull daily routines outdoors, from barbecues to poolside evenings, so the house reads as a long porch facing the fairways.
Ft. Greene Brownstone stands on a tree-lined block in Brooklyn, Kings County, NY, United States, its restored facade anchoring the row. Sherman Architects reworks the landmark house as a tall, light-filled home where a family moves between books, play, and garden. Behind the rebuilt stoop and cast-stone ornament, the interior shifts from intimate rooms to a double-height living volume that opens wide to the backyard for daily use.
Mission Canyon Residence sits high above Santa Barbara, CA, United States, where NMA Architects align coastal light, ocean air, and mountain views around a resilient hillside house.

Every room leans into a distinct panorama while maintaining year-round livability and safety.
La Conception III sits in La Conception, Canada, as a house by Nicolas Chaudier architecte that works with the grain of its wooded hillside site. Local cedar, deep glazing, and stratified volumes respond to the forest while organizing family life inside. Interior rooms track a gentle shift from communal living to more private zones, so the house feels rooted in its setting and tuned to daily routines.
Dora Villa sets a concrete cube against the broad fields and low hills of Quốc Oai, Hanoi, Vietnam, its profile reading clearly from the suburban edge. PAK architects arrange this house as a family retreat, where verandas and voids negotiate between raw structure and the changing climate. Inside and out, the project balances compressed thresholds and expansive rooms so daily life stays close to light, air, and the surrounding greenery.
Dye Fore 1 rises on the Dye Fore Golf Course in La Romana, Dominican Republic, shaped by Acebal Canney Arquitectos & Asociados as a residence tuned to land and light. The angular house stretches across the irregular plot, opening broad views toward the fairways, Altos de Chavón River, and distant horizon. Water, art, and breeze-driven comfort set the tone for a home conceived as both retreat and living gallery.
