Kownatki Lake House sits in Kownatki, Poland, as a refined holiday house by Archmondo Piotr Kowalczyk that draws directly from the quiet Masurian landscape. The project anchors a 36-hectare lakeside development and uses rigorous detailing, robust materials, and a barn-like form to give contemporary leisure living a distinctly local character. Guests move between forest, water, and home with an ease that feels both grounded and deliberate.

Carcassonne reshapes a heritage-listed house in Melbourne’s leafy south-east into a family home by FMD Architects. The project relocates daily life to a stepped, north-facing addition and reopens the original fabric to light and garden views. Across the lot, rooms now connect with both a public front garden and a private rear yard and pool, drawing a clear line between arrival, shared living, and quiet retreat.
