Periscope House is a house in Toronto, Canada, designed by Atelier RZLBD for a young family seeking a more personal, sustainable way to live. The project renovates a one-story bungalow and strategically adds a partial second floor, using subtraction as a tool for light, height, and clarity. What began as a straightforward addition becomes a study in restraint and sequence, with voids pulling daylight deep into the plan and giving the street a memorable new profile.
Residência CV sits in Curitiba, Brazil, where Luiz Volpato Arquitetura renovates and expands a deteriorated house instead of razing it.

Crescent House Renovation anchors a classic Toronto, Canada house with a contemporary rear addition by Akb Architects.

Casa PYE Cuernavaca lands in Cuernavaca, Mexico, as a grounded study in renewal by Lopez Duplan Arquitectos.

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.
