Northern Writing Studio lands in Northport, MI, United States, as a compact house-scale retreat by Mathison Mathison Architects. The project replaces an aging garage beside a turn-of-the-century farmhouse, giving the owner a place for writing, rest, and time with family. Plainspoken in form and tuned to daily use, it folds a small sitting room, galley kitchen, and lofted sleeping quarters into a durable, modern shell.
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.
Sodon Lake House sits above a rare dichothermic lake in Bloomfield, Michigan, its mid-century ranch profile masking a layered interior by Disbrown Iannuzzi. The house, a renovation for a family of four returning from Southern California, pushes material performance and daylight while holding onto the site’s measured calm. It’s a house, but it’s also a study in restraint and endurance.
