Villa Dellago sits on the east shore of Lake Garda in Torri del Benaco, Italy, as a one-story house by JM Architecture. The pavilion settles onto a natural terrace aligned with the water, trimming excavation while framing long views. Within this compact outline, the plan splits daily life between a glazed living wing and a private master suite, with service rooms centered and lower-level rooms cut into the slope for light and outlook.
Villa Boe crowns a steep plot in Indonesia, a house by Alexis Dornier that treats the hillside as a living framework rather than a backdrop. Arranged as a vertical sequence of rooms and terraces, it turns topography into plan, from the tucked garage at the base to a circular yoga platform that surveys hills and ocean. The result is brisk and composed, with indoor–outdoor life knitted into every level.
Cliff Villa rises above Paliokastro, Greece, oriented to the Cretan Sea and the gusts that define the headland. A2G Architects configures a two-level house for a young couple, favoring calm rooms and long views over spectacle. The 4-bedroom retreat pairs sculpted white volumes with sun-washed terraces, leaning into climate, topography, and the lure of open water.
Villa in Sorrento sits within a historic garden above the Bay of Naples, its 1950s bones refreshed by Architetti Artigiani Anonimi. The house in Sorrento, Italy, opens to the greenery and the sea, recast as a flexible, light-steeped retreat for daily life. It’s a house by type, yet every move favors a relaxed, vacation cadence.
Dimitri reimagines a Brussels, Belgium townhouse as a spirited family house by Victoria-Maria Interior Design. Across rooms shaped for a couple and five children, the project channels color, art, and texture into daily life. The renovation unfolds over nearly five years and carries a personal thread, weaving pieces from the studio’s Heimat collection with works by Marcel Arnaud and Simon Buret for a layered, lived-in rhythm.
House SW reimagines a 1975 house in Vienna, Austria with a calm, legible plan. Illichmann Architecture leads the renovation, addressing a once-dark entry, awkward circulation, and a poor link to the garden with a nimble reorganization. The project replaces a peripheral stair with a split run and brightens the core while preserving the building’s footprint.
M House sits in Bangkok, Thailand, designed by IDIN Architects as a compact home grown from an inherited garden. The client kept the site’s mature trees and asked for privacy from the street, steering a plan that bends around trunks and views. Linked by a first-floor terrace to the original family house, the new volume carves rooms between green pockets and tucks a pool on the roof for light and daily use.
Cavern House lands in Singapore, Singapore as a house by Super Assembly, drawing on cave-like expanses to shape a family’s daily rhythm. The project turns a narrow site into a choreographed interior that moves from a concealed entry to a luminous core. Within, communal rooms, a family study, and a top-floor observatory keep relatives within sight and earshot, balancing privacy and exchange with an easy, lived-in pace.
