Casa L5 sits in Poble Nou de Benitatxell, Alicante, Spain, as a coastal house by Pasqual Giner Arquitectura that turns directly toward the sea horizon. The project, developed with Auñón Cabrera, brings architecture, interiors, and material choices into one measured composition where the view drives every move. White planes, stone plinths, and warm wood set a quiet tone for daily life overlooking the Mediterranean.
Pirnello Farmhouse stands among fields outside Cisternino, Italy, its pale stone volumes catching the southern light. Flore & Venezia guide the 18th-century masseria from working farmstead to lived-in farmhouse, reading each layer with care. The project keeps the rural character close while weaving contemporary comfort through vaulted rooms, shaded terraces, and gardens shaped for long days and late evenings.
Casa Nola stands as a house in Cachipay, Colombia, by Yemail Arquitectura, set among water, soil, and trees in a charged rural landscape. The project treats movement as a starting point, asking how bodies ascend, lie down, and cross thresholds while staying in dialogue with light and climate. Built in 2024, it treats the ground, large stones, and fired clay mass as equal partners in shaping daily life.
Casa La Vista stands above the dunes of Baja California, Mexico, as a cliffside house oriented to the open horizon and the meeting of sky and sea. Designed by Medeza, the residence stretches along a southeast axis that courts desert light, coastal winds, and long views toward San José and Punta Gorda. Across its wings, the architecture arranges daily life around shade, courtyards, and an unmistakably Baja terrain.
Palmento reimagines an ancient grape-processing palmento in Ragusa, Italy as a restaurant led by architect Giuseppe Iacono. Thick stone walls, timber roofs, and the ghosts of vats frame a new ritual of dining that keeps the building’s rural character present. Guests cross a low stone threshold and move between gardens, halls, and courtyards as the project works with layers of history rather than wiping them away.
A Touch of New brings a quietly radical house to the Tinos Regional Unit in Greece, where Aristides Dallas Architects work directly with the island’s dovecote heritage. The residence steps across two levels on the hillside, setting a hovering concrete cube against the weight of existing stone to negotiate old fabric and new construction.
The Avber House sits on a hilltop in Avber, Slovenia, where OFIS Arhitekti reworks a clustered stone homestead into a contemporary house rooted in ancestral memory. The project gathers dwelling, former stable, and outbuilding around a sheltered courtyard, translating vernacular Karst elements into a renewed everyday setting for an Australian client returning to his family village. Historic structures stay present, while their roles shift toward present-day comfort and restrained sustainability.
La Marinedda Residence sits on a sloping hillside in Sardinia, Italy, where Space4Architecture shapes a new coastal house from local stone and measured light. The single-story dwelling stretches low against the horizon, pairing an A-frame profile with a sheltered courtyard that answers the island’s wind, sun, and sea views. Calm interiors in pale finishes open directly to terraces and planted edges, giving the house a quietly contemporary yet regionally grounded presence.
