Sagamore North Cottage is a house in Muskoka District Municipality, ON, Canada, designed by Akb Architects for life close to the water and tucked from passing boats. Completed in 2025, the all-season retreat follows the island’s slope and uses dark cladding, broad roof planes, and sliding glass walls to balance privacy with long views, family gatherings, and quieter moments alone.
Casa San Giacomo is an apartment renovation in Naples, Italy, by Officine Architetti, set between Via Toledo and Piazza Castello near the Maschio Angioino. Designed in 2026, the 150 sq m (1,615 sq ft) home turns its relationship with the city into the project’s central idea. Three large windows and an adjoining terrace draw the dome of Galleria Umberto I into daily life, making the urban panorama part of the interior.
Devín is a cabin in Bratislava, Slovakia, designed by Ark-Shelter as a compact weekend dwelling with full off-grid capability. Completed in 2024, it works within a 20-square-meter footprint while opening broadly to vineyard views, fold-down terraces, and a carefully choreographed interior that shifts from daily routines to sleep with remarkable economy.
