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.
NK Apartment is a 210 m2 (2,260 sq ft) penthouse renovation in Belgrade, Serbia, by Novak Kijac Architects. The apartment rethinks family life around open-plan living, soft light, and a disciplined palette anchored by HIMACS Solid Surface.

Parkside is a compact two-storey house in Fitzroy North, Australia, by Austin Maynard Architects. Built at the rear of the owners’ former terrace block, the home fronts a leafy park and favors downsizing with dignity.

It’s designed for aging-in-place without giving up sociability or a sense of address.

Casa la Marchesana sits in Bologna, Italy, where a historic envelope meets a crisp, contemporary interior.

Maja Coffee Shop lands on a busy corner in Volos, Greece, as a compact specialty bar by Lab4 Architects.
