House in Jastrzębia Góra sits on a tree-framed plot in Jastrzębia Góra, Poland, where sea air and filtered light set the tone. Designed by Archmondo Piotr Kowalczyk, the house arranges two barn-like volumes into an L-shaped plan that shapes a sheltered courtyard. It’s a family house with a measured, contemporary silhouette and a restrained palette that holds steady against the Baltic climate.
Villa Above the Water sits in the Czech Republic as a family house shaped by anticipation. Designed by 3AE, the low-slung home turns inward toward a private garden rather than outward to a landscape destined to develop. The L-shaped property uses the site’s gentle slope and a swimming pond to build its own world at the edge of a village near Prague.
Dione House lands in Goiânia as a family house by Studio Andre Lenza, planned for open-air days and quick closings when needed. The project organizes daily life around a backyard and pool, balancing privacy from the street with full connection to the garden. Across two levels, the plan favors movement, light, and easy oversight for parents with three children.
Taipa House sits in Brasília, Brazil, a single-story house by Valéria Gontijo + Arquitetos shaped by raw earth and a tight, convivial plan. The project, designed in 2024 for a sloped site with views of Lake Paranoá, balances compact living with tactile craft. Warm materials, measured ceilings, and an L-shaped layout anchor a retreat built for easy gatherings and daily use.
