Beach House: Lake Archambault Residence sits on the shore of Lake Archambault in Québec, Canada, a new house by Ghoche architecte. Composed as a low, quiet arrangement of volumes, the project turns to light, water, and native planting rather than overt expression. The result reads as a clear coastal gesture tuned to a northern lake climate.
Villa Ousia sits on a hillside above Pitsidia, Greece, where Paly Architects condense a house into three offset volumes shaped by stone, earth-toned plaster, and glass. The arrangement pivots around a pool and a pair of pergolas, threading the rooms to outdoor life while softening wind and sun. Built between 2023 and 2025, the residence reads as concise and deliberate, with local materials setting the tone indoors and out.
Ca’n Gallineta lands in Manacor, Spain, as a house by OAM – Office Architecture Mallorca that reads the hillside before it writes on it. The project settles on the knoll and extends down the slope, opening the main face to the south for light and winter warmth. Passive moves shape daily comfort, while a single sloping roof gathers the volumes into one clear silhouette.
Palm Springs is a house in Palm Springs, CA, United States, designed by sticklab. The single-level home gathers daily life around a pool courtyard while long rooflines and slatted shade manage the desert light. Clear glazing opens the living areas to patios and gardens, setting up a measured back-and-forth between cooler interiors and sunlit outdoor rooms.
Aschmüllerhof sits in Laives, Italy, a house by Stefan Gamper Architecture that quietly threads contemporary life into the Bozen lowlands. The estate pairs a two-story residence with a working utility building, set within orchards and stitched by a pergola that frames a generous courtyard. Open rooms reach toward terraces and a private garden with a pool, while the build leans on masonry below and timber above to meet KlimaHaus A performance.
