Maison SD reimagines a former railway worker’s house in La Roche-sur-Yon, France, with Atelier Ose guiding a precise renovation and garden extension. The house unfolds around a new patio that draws light deep into each room and shields daily life from view. An L-shaped addition, clad in ribbed sheet metal and capped with sloping roofs, connects the interior to a sheltered terrace while preserving two mature olive trees as living anchors.
Sodon Lake House sits above a rare dichothermic lake in Bloomfield, Michigan, its mid-century ranch profile masking a layered interior by Disbrown Iannuzzi. The house, a renovation for a family of four returning from Southern California, pushes material performance and daylight while holding onto the site’s measured calm. It’s a house, but it’s also a study in restraint and endurance.
House on Lake Como sits on the eastern shore of Italy’s most storied lake, a four-level house reimagined by Pierattelli Architetture. In Como, Italy, the Florentine studio shapes a summer residence that functions as a daily home, using measured moves and warm materials to keep the mood easy. The result carries the rhythm of vacation with the comfort of routine.
Genesee sits in Los Angeles, CA, United States, a house by Siol that reframes the familiar Southern California hacienda. The studio leans into a generous interior palette and a clean geometry of arches, tying living rooms to breezy terraces and a long pool. Color and texture carry the story. Light does the rest.
Howqua River Lodge sits in Howqua Hills, Australia, a house by Robert Mills Architects that pairs off-grid resilience with high-performance comfort.

Built in 2024, it leans on durable Australian materials and a gentle, restorative mood.
Casa Horizonte sits on the cliffs of Ericeira, Portugal, shaped by Mamey Home for a client who surfs and works remotely. The house, a ground-up residence on a west-facing plot above the Atlantic, answers the view while guarding privacy from neighbors. A rigorous nine-square grid anchors the plan, setting the stage for terraces, patios, and a roof terrace that extend daily life outdoors.
Chapelle MI positions a contemporary house in Mortagne-sur-Sèvre, France, by Atelier Ose with the original stone chapel as anchor. The project draws a measured sequence around the heritage buildings, connecting garden, terrace, and rooms through glass and timber. On stilts, the new volumes ride the slope and open toward the wooded hillside and the Sèvre Nantaise below.
Villa XXIII settles into the hillside of Eaglemont, Victoria, Australia with a quiet confidence. Designed by FGR Architects, the house moves low and long across two steep allotments and takes its cues from the Mount Eagle estate’s landscape and legacy.
