Jaffe House Restoration rethinks a much-loved coastal house in New York, United States, bringing new clarity to Norman Jaffe’s 1978 work under architect Neil Logan. The project concentrates on the interior layout and connections to the courtyard and ocean, replacing piecemeal alterations with a coherent sequence of rooms that sharpen light, material, and everyday circulation. Historic fabric remains present, but the lived experience shifts toward a calmer, more legible rhythm.
Maison SE sits in the hills above Aix-en-Provence, France, where Isabelle Berthet Bondet arranges a 350 m² house as an extension of the surrounding pines. Broad glazing, deep terraces, and long rooflines draw the eye out toward the southwest horizon while sheltered rooms encourage slow, everyday rituals. The result is a relaxed contemporary residence that treats the Mediterranean landscape as its primary interior surface.
Ladera is a refined apartment in Mexico by Sulkin Askenazi, composed with a moody, tactile palette and broad views. The home opens toward greenery and distant towers, then turns inward to stone, wood, and darkened ceilings that steady the rooms. Sulkin Askenazi threads the project with careful lighting and tailored furnishings, building a confident domestic rhythm across living areas and bedrooms.
Villa A “Santa” is a house in Italy by Selina Bertola, designed in 2025 with a measured approach to reworking a coastal home. The project concentrates on materials, light, and a sculptural hearth to reset identity without changing the plan, favoring warm neutrals and tactile finishes that echo the shoreline. Calm guides the brief.
Escondido Beach House sits on Malibu, CA, United States, reimagined by Oppenheim Architecture as a measured renewal of a 1980s beachfront home. The house is stripped back to its structure and rebuilt as a clear, coastal plan that privileges light, air, and the daily pull of the Pacific. What was inward and busy now stretches toward the water with a calm, continuous rhythm across rooms and terraces.
