Casa a Trastevere renovates a two-level apartment in Trastevere, Rome, Italy, by architect Mario Leonori. Set within a late 19th‑century building, the home opens to long views toward the ghetto and Piazza Venezia. The project reworks the plan for contemporary living while preserving tangible traces of age, from timber roof beams to a quiet terrace that pulls daylight deep inside.

Casa Chiara sits inside a Liberty-style residence in Italy, where ornate facades and wrought iron balconies frame a newly pared-back interior. Designed by Davide Andracco, the 90-square-meter (969 sq ft) apartment becomes an airy, open home with light pouring through original French doors toward the sea. The renovation brings clarity to a compact plan while honoring the building’s historic shell.

Apartment in the Center of Florence sits on the ground floor of a 19th-century building in Florence, Italy, with an internal garden tucked just beyond. Designed by Sante Bonitatibus, the 150-square-meter (1,615-square-foot) apartment was reimagined for a young entrepreneurial couple who collect ancient indigenous crafts, giving their everyday rooms the quiet poise of a gallery. Light and silence shape the mood, and the plan stays refreshingly open.

A Single Man House occupies a storied street in Rome, Italy, transformed by Margutta Architetture into an apartment that preserves the atelier’s towering proportions. The studio-to-home conversion balances street life with a quiet garden outlook, pairing structural remediation with deft insertions—an iron stair, a slim walkway, and a rigorously ordered library wall—to organize two levels. Its character comes from height and light, yet the plan feels precise and assured.

Villa Dellago sits on the east shore of Lake Garda in Torri del Benaco, Italy, as a one-story house by JM Architecture. The pavilion settles onto a natural terrace aligned with the water, trimming excavation while framing long views. Within this compact outline, the plan splits daily life between a glazed living wing and a private master suite, with service rooms centered and lower-level rooms cut into the slope for light and outlook.

Villa in Sorrento sits within a historic garden above the Bay of Naples, its 1950s bones refreshed by Architetti Artigiani Anonimi. The house in Sorrento, Italy, opens to the greenery and the sea, recast as a flexible, light-steeped retreat for daily life. It’s a house by type, yet every move favors a relaxed, vacation cadence.

Altes Gericht sits within Klausen, Italy, where Stefan Gamper Architecture reworks the listed Old Court into two compact apartments. The project distills daily life into 45 m² (484 ft²) per home, trading courtly ceremony for quiet order. Within the top floors’ steep rooflines and timber bones, a careful plan, measured materials, and a few precise openings recalibrate this urban relic for present-day living.

Casa Matì sits in Palermo, Italy, a few steps from the Teatro Politeama, where a 1930s cellar becomes an apartment with uncommon poise. PuccioCollodoro Architetti leads the conversion, turning a long, airless volume into a home that breathes light and material richness. The plan orients around a double-height living area and a sculptural stair, while oak, resin, and antique tiles lend tactile weight and memory.
