Architecture studio naturehumaine has completed an intentionally opaque masonry-walled house in Austin, Canada, featuring a skylight and large windows that were strategically positioned to increase natural daylight within the interior. Palissade, which was designed and finished in 2024, has a gabled roof with a skylight illuminating its airy interiors, decorated with tactile materials and textures.
The Youshan Meidi Villa in Beijing, designed by Zhang Ling Design Studio, offers a tranquil connection to its natural surroundings. Emphasizing light, space, and minimalism, the design integrates large windows and open-plan spaces to bring the outdoors in.
Enclosed by greenery, the villa features spaces for relaxation, contemplation, and entertainment, blending sophistication with warmth for a harmonious living experience.
Designed by the renowned firm RAD+ar, the Passive Lab House in South Tangerang City, Indonesia, is a captivating exploration of tropical passive design in a postmodern urban context. This experimental house employs innovative techniques, such as overlapping void spaces, reflective pools, and strategically placed skylights, to create a comfortable microclimate without relying on active systems. The project’s thoughtful integration of biophilic and tropical elements within a contemporary design language offers a promising solution to the challenges posed by unplanned urbanization.
