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. The project divides the house into smaller cabin-like volumes so grandparents, parents, and guests can share the property or live independently, moving between them through glazed links. Each wing holds its own rhythm, yet the whole compound stays tied to the lake, the trees, and long weekends together.
Stuttgart Duet sets a confident tone for a new house in Stuttgart, United States, where Ester Bruzkus Architekten shapes the interiors around bold contrasts.

Across four levels, the collaboration turns daily routines into sequences of outlooks, colors, and textures that move from sociable openness to private indulgence.
Barra sets a calm tone in the Aveiro District, Portugal, where Paulo Martins Arq&Design reworks a classic beachfront apartment into a restrained, coastal home.

Jinakachi anchors a singular hotel room along the Kuniga Coast in Shimane, Japan, reworked by Amane Architects within the long-standing Kuga-so property. The project turns a south-east corner room into a deliberate viewpoint over the Shimamae Inland Sea, giving guests an immediate encounter with wind, water, and the grazing grasslands that define this island setting. Architecture here acts as a lens rather than a spectacle.
Suburban Villa anchors an elevated plot in Thessaloniki, Greece, where Matheas Architecture reworks an unfinished suburban house into a refined, contemporary residence.

Loui Paris sets a quiet tone in the heart of Paris, France, where Holzrausch crafts a family house as a tribute to wood and restraint. Behind a closed gate in the 11th arrondissement, the home withdraws from the street into a courtyard and garden, trading the city’s noise for calm rooms defined by oak, plaster, stone, and concealed technology.
Yumenomori unfolds in Sapporo, Japan, as a house by YODEZEEN Architects shaped by restraint and material clarity.

In this first project in Japan, European sourcing meets Hokkaido calm, and the result reads quiet yet deliberate.
Haven House lands in Nosara, Costa Rica with a quiet confidence, its broad roofline throwing deep shade over a concrete plinth.

The project is a house with a minimalist attitude and a practical tropical toolkit, completed with warm timber surfaces drawn from the site itself.
