City Oasis places a warm, modern apartment in the heart of Amsterdam, Netherlands, shaped by Martijn Veldman Interior Design. Sunlit rooms, grounded by deep greens and pale timber, frame daily rituals in a calm, composed way that softens the city edge. Each volume flows into the next, so cooking, dining, relaxing, and sleeping feel connected yet quietly distinct.
NailSpot opens as a measured study in calm for a nail studio in Prague, Czech Rep., shaped by local practice Studio Plyš.

Every gesture tracks the rituals of care that define this compact urban salon.
House 323 commands a steep street in Sofia, Bulgaria, where I/O Architects set a dark, introverted volume against the city’s edge. Behind the brick mask, the house opens toward its garden and the nearby mountain, unfolding as a calm, glass-lined dwelling for a single family. Interior rooms follow that shift from compression to release, moving from a sheltered entrance to broad views and generous terraces.
La Marinedda Residence sits on a sloping hillside in Sardinia, Italy, where Space4Architecture shapes a new coastal house from local stone and measured light. The single-story dwelling stretches low against the horizon, pairing an A-frame profile with a sheltered courtyard that answers the island’s wind, sun, and sea views. Calm interiors in pale finishes open directly to terraces and planted edges, giving the house a quietly contemporary yet regionally grounded presence.

Minimalist Wooden Villa brings a precise, timber-lined calm to a contemporary chalet in Como, Italy, by Dario Turani Associati.

Inside, eco-conscious materials and restrained furnishings shape rooms that stay warm, efficient, and quietly connected to the surrounding garden.
Buddha’s House turns an apartment in Neihu, Taipei, Taiwan into a hybrid gallery and residence by designer Peny Hsieh. The project arranges a substantial Vajrayana Buddharupa collection within a calm, contemporary interior that still respects ritual and display.

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