Meadow House sits within the secluded Santa Lucia Preserve near Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA, United States, shaped by Mark English Architects. The house answers a multigenerational Korean-American family’s brief for a Californian home with a distinctly Korean heart, set against strict conservation rules and a powerful meadow landscape. What results is a low, Z-shaped residence where indoor-outdoor living, measured light, and layered privacy give daily life a deliberate rhythm.
Borová Lada Cottage stands beyond the village in the Bohemian Forest, its late 19th-century frame renewed by Studio Plyš with a measured, material-forward hand. In Borová Lada, Czech Republic, the renovation sustains a cottage typology while opening it to light, garden, and shared use. The project reads as a calm rural house, not a showpiece, with interventions that respect memory and make room for new life.
Singapore-based design firm ONG&ONG envisions the BECA-House, a private residence designed in 2019. Featuring rectilinear lines, this modern dwelling incorporates spacious and well-ventilated areas, enhancing its fluid design.
