Galìni House sets a warm rhythm in Brisbane, Australia, where George Kouparitsas Architects draw the plan toward Queensland’s easygoing climate. The house for a growing family leans into open rooms and shaded outdoor living, letting daily life slide between interior calm and breezy terraces. Built as a new home, its palette and proportions frame light, lawn, and water with quiet confidence.

Tintorum stands in Klausen, Italy, where Stefan Gamper Architecture reworks a 15th-century poorhouse into four pared-back apartments. The project keeps the building’s gravitas while drawing in daylight and calm, reading as both restoration and reinvention. Inside, old stone and timber hold company with glass, steel, and larch, creating a measured conversation between eras.
