Casa Plaj plants a precise, contemporary house on a narrow, sloped plot in Lourinhã, Portugal, with the Atlantic just a short walk away. Designed by extrastudio, the coastal retreat organizes living on a single level while lifting it lightly above the land. The result is a holiday house with rural poise and a clear structural idea, tuned to wind, sun, and the long views that define this countryside.
House Djurö crowns a cliff on Värmdö, Sweden, where CAMPUS sets a cast in situ concrete house toward the Stockholm Archipelago. The project, designed in 2024, draws the eye seaward with two flanking walls and draws daily life outdoors under a deep pergola. Calm, rigorous, and tactile, it balances hardwearing material with tailored carpentry and precise glazing.
Casa del Sol sits in Conil de le Frontera, Spain, a house by Steyn Studio that draws its plan and poise from the sun. The project threads courtyards through a low, stone-lined ensemble and crowns it with a latticed central volume. Materials do the talking here, from Andalusian limestone to clay tiles that temper glare and heat, while timber and woven textures warm the interiors for relaxed coastal living.
Oak House lands in Pedrezuela, Spain, by Muka Arquitectura as a house shaped by trees, water, and a disciplined concrete frame. The plan yields to two oaks and a northern view over the reservoir, then tightens into an interior journey that rises in privacy and light. Built in 2024, the residence uses a single material system to bind structure, enclosure, and daily life.
Dione House lands in Goiânia as a family house by Studio Andre Lenza, planned for open-air days and quick closings when needed. The project organizes daily life around a backyard and pool, balancing privacy from the street with full connection to the garden. Across two levels, the plan favors movement, light, and easy oversight for parents with three children.
Hira unfolds in India as a layered house by Fulcrum Studio, paired with an adjoining office that extends the narrative beyond domestic life. The residence moves between introspection and conviviality, where concrete, marble, metal, and heirloom textiles pull against one another. Four stacked levels orbit a sunlit void and shape a choreography of light, shade, and reflection. The office next door continues the experiment, translating material tactility into a kinetic workplace.
House at Nøtterøy sits on a small hilltop in Norway, its compact house form tuned to a tight plot and a family budget. Designed by KOHT Arkitekter, the two-level home shares a dialogue with an adjacent main house while carving its own clear plan. A reserved exterior gives way to a generous, open upper level arranged for daily life and long views.
Casa Clausura sits in Mendiolaza, Argentina, as a single-family house by Agustín Lozada. The project resists suburban habits, settling low on the site and turning its back on the punishing western exposure. Instead of spectacle, the plan collects rooms around an inward courtyard with a pool, privileging light, shade, and privacy over frontage. It reads as a measured reply to its setting, quiet in posture yet exacting in intent.
