Residência CV sits in Curitiba, Brazil, where Luiz Volpato Arquitetura renovates and expands a deteriorated house instead of razing it. The project keeps the structure, recalibrates the layout, and responds to a prominent position at the entrance of a consolidated condominium. It’s a house rethought for contemporary use, with new rooms, durable materials, and stronger ties to the garden and street.
Crescent House Renovation anchors a classic Toronto, Canada house with a contemporary rear addition by Akb Architects.

In two moves, it respects ornate plaster and marble up front, then pivots to long panes, warm wood, and a garden-focused kitchen at the rear.
Casa PYE Cuernavaca lands in Cuernavaca, Mexico, as a grounded study in renewal by Lopez Duplan Arquitectos. The 1990s house becomes a generous family retreat with refreshed rooms, larger social areas, and a tighter bond to its shared garden.

Sausalito Retreat sits atop Wolfback Ridge in Sausalito, CA, United States, a three-level house reworked by 35th Collective. The 2,500-square-foot, 1951 structure now expands to three bedrooms and three baths with broad glazing and timber-lined rooms. Inside and out, the project reads as a quiet refresh that leans into wood, stone, and brass while opening to the San Francisco Bay.
An’s Sai Gon brings a multi-use wellness and dining address to Vietnam under the direction of QBA architects.

Guests move from morning coffee to evening treatments with an easy rhythm that keeps the whole place humming.
Escondido Beach House sits on Malibu, CA, United States, reimagined by Oppenheim Architecture as a measured renewal of a 1980s beachfront home.

What was inward and busy now stretches toward the water with a calm, continuous rhythm across rooms and terraces.
Towhouse VI anchors a careful renovation of a 1950s house in Kortrijk, Belgium by Decancq-Vercruysse Architects.

Living areas open to light and greenery, while quieter rooms lean into darker tones and soft texture. It reads as domestic craft tuned to daily life.
Maison SD reimagines a former railway worker’s house in La Roche-sur-Yon, France, with Atelier Ose guiding a precise renovation and garden extension. The house unfolds around a new patio that draws light deep into each room and shields daily life from view. An L-shaped addition, clad in ribbed sheet metal and capped with sloping roofs, connects the interior to a sheltered terrace while preserving two mature olive trees as living anchors.
