The Fienile Cocchi residential project converted a barn that has a history dating back several centuries. Located in Reggio Emilia, Italy, the house was designed by SBAR – Salonia Baldin Architettura. The team restores a historic 300 sqm (3,229 sq ft) barn while introducing a contemporary glazed volume, allowing natural light to fill the spaces. While Joao Martins created the interior design, the project was completed in 2024.
House GS, a house located in Cieneguilla, Peru, was completed in 2014 by designer Vicca Verde. The design takes as a reference the typical rammed earth walls of the region: it follows the same construction process but reinterprets it in a contemporary way, using concrete tinted in earth tones. The concrete work is complemented by metal structures that allow for large spans and create the wide sloped roof, with few support points, over the main loft unit.
The building had long stood suspended in time and space, gradually falling into a state of disrepair—partially occupied, yet steadily losing structural integrity, quality, and a sense of safety. The future resident, then merely a hopeful seeker, had spent years searching for an old construction—central in location, rich in memory, and entirely unique within its urban surroundings.
El Capitola is a house located in Vancouver, Washington State, United States, designed by William Kaven Architecture in 2025. This residential project dedicates more square footage to a museum-grade showroom housing the owner’s remarkable collection of restored custom classic cars than it does to the living quarters. The architecture delivers a clean and understated framework with an homage to Jet Age car culture, featuring a minimal material palette of board-formed concrete, steel, and dark brick.

In an elegant district overlooking the Insugherata Park along Rome’s Via Cassia, this 220-square-meter apartment has been renovated with the aim of creating a bright, sophisticated and welcoming space. The interiors are dominated by white tones, enriched by black accents that add depth and character to the rooms.

With a clear intention towards spaces that merges both the interior and exterior, the house centers around an infinity pool, integrating social areas with high-end minimalist finishes that evoke a sense of comfort, breathing spaces, and self-exploration.
