Towhouse VI anchors a careful renovation of a 1950s house in Kortrijk, Belgium by Decancq-Vercruysse Architects. The project treats everyday rituals as design drivers, translating personal habits into warm materials, generous storage, and measured connections to a walled garden. 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.
Casa Bertola renovates a main-floor apartment in Turin, Italy with quiet precision by INEDITO Architetti. The project restores historical character while threading in contemporary elements that clarify circulation and daily routines. Within a historic shell, the designers balance restored floors and fresco traces with bold color, custom millwork, and a perimeter light ribbon that draws the rooms together without erasing their differences.
HR House anchors a young family’s move to Kibbutz Kfar Haruv in Israel, reshaping a standard contractor build into a composed house by Nimrod Cohen. The renovation leans on clear geometry and an assured material hand to connect daily life with the southern Golan Heights landscape. What began as a generic shell now reads as a measured, modern home with broad openings, cohesive elevations, and a calm interior rhythm.
A Single Man House occupies a storied street in Rome, Italy, transformed by Margutta Architetture into an apartment that preserves the atelier’s towering proportions. The studio-to-home conversion balances street life with a quiet garden outlook, pairing structural remediation with deft insertions—an iron stair, a slim walkway, and a rigorously ordered library wall—to organize two levels. Its character comes from height and light, yet the plan feels precise and assured.
House SW reimagines a 1975 house in Vienna, Austria with a calm, legible plan. Illichmann Architecture leads the renovation, addressing a once-dark entry, awkward circulation, and a poor link to the garden with a nimble reorganization. The project replaces a peripheral stair with a split run and brightens the core while preserving the building’s footprint.
Barbara Vick Early Learning Branch reimagines a former bank as an elementary school extension in Chicago, IL, United States. Led by Bailey Edward, the project brings new pre‑K classrooms and flexible offices to serve the Beverly and Morgan neighborhoods. The conversion pairs civic reuse with child‑scaled planning so early learners get purpose-made rooms, a covered outdoor play area, and clear circulation from drop-off to door.
Onda sits in Attadale, Australia, a riverside suburb of Perth, and recasts a worn bungalow as a contemporary house by State of Kin.
