Villa Mirabel stretches along the steep coastline of Omiš, Croatia, drawing the Adriatic directly into its interior life. Designed by Alberta Nikolov as a modern house for gathering, it moves between rigorous geometry and relaxed comfort. Eight bedrooms, broad terraces, and generous wellness rooms turn the villa into a coastal retreat where contemporary lines meet custom-crafted indulgence.
PCG House sets a composed horizontal line against the light of Loulé, Portugal, where Visioarq Arquitectos grounds a contemporary house in its sloping terrain. Glass, terraces, and a long infinity pool open the rooms toward the southern horizon, while careful solar orientation shapes how the family moves through the day. The result is a residence tuned to climate and view without losing clarity of form.
Second Wind House sits along the coast of Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica, where Salagnac Arquitectos shapes a restrained yet generous tropical house. Organized around a central social core and wide ocean views, the residence draws its character from natural textures, outdoor living, and a patient engagement with daily rituals at the edge of the sea.
Villa Zenith sits above the coastline in Las Huacas, Nosara, Costa Rica, as a house by Salagnac Arquitectos shaped for ocean views and breeze.

Clean lines, light tones, and natural textures anchor the indoor–outdoor rhythm.
Greta anchors a quiet corner of Puerto Morelos, Mexico, with a calm, sea-facing stance. Designed by Aguero Arquitectura, the hotel leans into breeze, light, and material honesty, letting the coast set the rhythm from entry to roof. Guests move through bright rooms and terraces that extend toward the Caribbean, where wood, stone, and chukum frame a measured conversation between indoors and out.
Gul Melbourne is a house in Melbourne, Australia, designed by Nico van der Meulen Architects in 2023. A faceted metal envelope cuts a sharp profile against the street, while broad panes of glass pull garden and sky into view. Inside, a pared-back palette of concrete, plaster, and oak supports art and daily life with crisp intent.
Salt Pan House stands on the edge of a salt pan in India, composed with quiet rigor by We Design Studio. The house sits between the Chapora River and a mangrove belt, its profile pared back to climate and context. A limited buildable area sharpened every move, turning restraint into a working method and the land into a guide.
Studio House sits in Costa Rica as a private house shaped by slope, jungle, and Pacific light. Designed by Formafatal founder Dagmar Štěpánová for herself and partner Karel Vančura, it pairs porous living with quiet refuge. The two-level villa near Uvita trades a conventional façade for exposure to air and ocean, threading terraces, a pool, and a rooftop into the site’s fall. It lives outdoors as much as in.
