Villa EF unfolds along the shoreline of Bardolino, Italy, where Depaolidefranceschibaldan Architetti revisit a 1960s holiday house with a calm, contemporary attitude. The reworked villa grows out of the hillside in three volumes, tying lake, garden, and interior rooms into one extended sequence of terraces and loggias. Stone, glass, and soft green metal set a measured tone that lets the surrounding olives and water carry the scene.

Altes Gericht lands inside Klausen, Italy’s listed Old Courthouse, where Stefan Gamper Architecture converts the upper levels into two compact apartments. The real estate type is apartment, but the project reads as a precise interior refit with a gentle hand. Under steep roofs and between old beams, the studio shapes calm rooms and puts every centimeter to work without noise or fuss.
