Villa Kouhsar traces a measured route through Koohsar, a developing villa district in Alborz Province, Iran, where orchards give way to new construction. Hopo Design shapes the house as a careful negotiation between front yard, built volume, and pool courtyard, using courtyards, axes, and controlled openings to handle privacy, security, and climate. Across this compact plot, each movement from gate to water builds a distinct yet continuous domestic experience.
Dar Kemgia unfolds as a low-slung house in Marrakesh, Morocco, set among palms and irrigated gardens. Studio KO draws on the nearby ramparts and desert tones to build a residence where earthy walls, patterned ceilings, and long water views hold daily life in close connection to the Palmeraie. Each room leans into craft, color, and tactility.
Westview Residence sets a calm, precise tone on a steep Austin, TX, cul-de-sac, where Alterstudio Architecture navigates oaks, grade, and creek with quiet confidence. The house steps down from the street into a private woodland hollow, using brick volumes and a long glazed great room to frame daily life within the remaining wild pocket of this suburban edge.
Rooh anchors a holiday house in Malpe, India, by Thomas Parambil Architects, between river and Arabian Sea. The low-slung retreat turns away from the obvious postcard view to follow an east-west axis, wrapping daily life around a pool and long deck. Here, shared rooms merge in one open volume while bedroom suites pull back into quieter territory, giving family and friends a place to gather without losing a sense of retreat.
House 111 sits in Curitiba, Brazil, with a renewed modern presence by Rafaela Bender Arquitetura e Interiores. The house underwent a complete overhaul, aligning a crisp new facade with calm, cohesive interiors. Inside, a restrained palette and measured detailing anchor day-to-day life while the courtyard and pool draw light through generous glazing.
