Villa Ousia is a house in Pitsidia, Greece, by Paly Architects. Set on a hillside above the settlement, it reads as a sequence of three offset volumes connected by glass passages. Local stone, earth-toned plaster, and regional materials shape the project’s calm, practical character, while the plan opens toward the pool, the plain, and the sea.
Turtle Rock House is a ground-up residence in Los Angeles, CA, United States, designed by Studio BBA for a family of four. The house is shaped around natural light, park views, and a calm daily rhythm. Skylights, a central great room, and a clear separation of shared and private rooms give the project its quiet logic.
Maison du Lac Perdu is a house in Wentworth-Nord, Québec, Canada, designed by Ravi Handa Architect in 2025. Set in the Laurentians, it sits on a plateau at the edge of forest and water. The project turns to the site’s trees, slope, and light rather than to a single front, and its two-volume plan keeps private rooms and shared living areas in careful balance.
San Miguel de Allende is a house in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, designed by Muir Architects in 2024. The low, stone-clad volume is organized around courts, terraces, and long openings that pull the landscape into daily life. Inside, concrete, glass, and pale finishes keep the rooms bright while the plan moves easily between enclosure and exposure.
Element House is a house in Sarasota, FL, United States, by SOLSTICE Planning and Architecture. Set on a narrow lot in a flood zone on Sarasota Bay, it answers tight site constraints with an upside-down plan that lifts the social rooms above the ground floor. Views, daylight, and passive comfort shape the home from the start.
Court House is a 2025 house in Piedmont, CA, United States, by Buttrick Projects Architecture + Design. The complete renovation turns the existing structure into a light-filled interior organized around three courtyards. White walls, rift oak, black dyed wood, and colored stone give the home a restrained but tactile finish.
Boxed Set in Orinda, California, United States, by Buttrick Projects Architecture + Design, reworks a bent-boomerang suburban ranch house into a clearer sequence of rooms and thresholds. A skylit central volume organizes the kitchen and dining room, while a street-side box marks the entry and a detached garage with ADU completes the private courtyard enclosure. Natural light reaches deep into the plan, reducing the need for artificial lighting during the day.
Three Vistas is a 2024 house in CA, United States, by Buttrick Projects Architecture + Design. Perched above the San Francisco Bay, the renovation edits a large home into a more sheltered retreat. Three living areas now relate to meadow, ridge, and water in distinct ways, while new openings, cedar lining, and a dissolving kitchen wall bring daylight and the view into daily life.
