Maison TO sits in Sari-Solenzara, France, within the small hamlet of Togna between the sea and the mountains.

House Djurö crowns a cliff on Värmdö, Sweden, where CAMPUS sets a cast in situ concrete house toward the Stockholm Archipelago.

Casa del Sol sits in Conil de le Frontera, Spain, a house by Steyn Studio that draws its plan and poise from the sun.

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.
