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.
Designed by renowned architecture firm SAOTA, the Water’s Edge house in Sydney, Australia, is a stunning example of modern design that seamlessly integrates with its picturesque harbour setting.
This multilevel family home, completed in 2023, showcases a sensitive approach that minimizes its profile to preserve the neighborhood’s character while offering unparalleled views and a continuous connection to the water. The use of natural materials, including Lava stone and honed Mount White Sandstone, allows the residence to blend effortlessly with the surrounding landscape, while the carefully curated landscaping echoes the boldness of the architecture.
