Casa ai Colli is an apartment by studio BGArchitetti in Rome, Italy, shaped around a young couple’s daily rituals and shared visual passions. Set in the Monteverde neighborhood, the project folds Japanese minimalism into Roman material warmth, using custom oak joinery and filtered thresholds to define a generous living area and quiet garden-facing rooms. Every move favors clarity over clutter while framing light, trees, and the slow shifts of the day.
Como Apartment sits high above Como, Italy, where Mingotti e Giordano reshape a 1970s Brutalist apartment into a lakeside interior. Large windows, a green modular sofa, and pop-inflected pieces catch shifting reflections from the water, pulling the view deep into daily life. The result is a layered home that folds lakeside light, retro flourishes, and custom furniture into one continuous, quietly theatrical sequence.
Private Villa stands on the hills above Castellina Marittima, Italy, where ANDstudio Architects guide the restoration of a historic house into a layered rural retreat. The project pairs renewed structure and a new pool with expressive interiors, folding contemporary art, saturated color, and generous volumes into the villa’s long, arched rooms. Visitors move through vaulted halls and bright salons that keep the building’s past in view while easing present-day country life.
House of the Lions transforms a medieval tower apartment in Siena, Italy, into a contemporary B&B with a richly tactile interior. Catoni Associati works inside the historic shell with light steel and glass structures, colored cement tiles, and a mix of vintage, classic, and contemporary furnishings. Guests move through rooms where original ceilings, brickwork, and layered surfaces stay present yet comfortably reinhabited.
Nepita sits among pines and olive trees in Palazzolo Acreide, Italy, where DAA Studio reworks a 1990s country house into a precise play of volumes and color. The house becomes a collected retreat, its three blocks clarified through bold facades, tactile finishes, and a renewed relationship between living, sleeping, and cooking. Inside and out, the project turns memory into a clear, contemporary domestic landscape.
Apartment DFP converts an attic apartment in Brixen, Italy into a clear, open loft shaped by light and measured surfaces. Designed by AKT.studio in 2024, the project reorders daily life around the path of the sun, pulling social rooms toward views and tucking quieter zones into sheltered corners. A restrained palette of wood, stone, metal, and textiles gives the interior a calm, continuous rhythm that still reads as distinctly domestic.
MAJC House rests in the gently rolling moraines of Soiano, Italy, as a single-family house by ARKDD that turns constraint into quiet clarity. The residence and its annex open toward a protected landscape, where glass, timber, and stone keep close company with the earth. Within this calibrated setting, structure, material, and light work together to frame daily life at a measured, unhurried pace.
Palmento reimagines an ancient grape-processing palmento in Ragusa, Italy as a restaurant led by architect Giuseppe Iacono. Thick stone walls, timber roofs, and the ghosts of vats frame a new ritual of dining that keeps the building’s rural character present. Guests cross a low stone threshold and move between gardens, halls, and courtyards as the project works with layers of history rather than wiping them away.
