Renew sets a calm new chapter for a multi-level house in New Taipei City, Taiwan, reshaped by 1001 Giving Living.

Calm surfaces, filtered light, and measured views give the coastal setting a resort-like ease without losing a sense of privacy.
Barão Sabrosa Apartment sits within the semi-basement of a traditional gaioleiro building in Lisbon, Portugal, reworked by Aurora Arquitectos as a calm, luminous retreat.

Light from the rear courtyard washes across vaulted ceilings and pale flooring, softening the sense of being below street level.

Private Home draws daylight deep into a quiet suburban corner of Vilnius, Lithuania, where tall glazing opens the house toward its garden.

Baw Beese sets a quiet scene on the shoreline of Hillsdale, United States, where Disbrow Iannuzzi organizes a vacation retreat for several generations at once.

Each wing holds its own rhythm, yet the whole compound stays tied to the lake, the trees, and long weekends together.
