Jurassis House lands on a steep plot in Dorset, England, United Kingdom, where the Jurassic Coast’s protected landscape meets village grain. Designed by AR Design Studio, the multi unit housing project resolves strict planning constraints while staging long views to Charmouth and the English Channel. Two dwellings read as a single-storey bungalow at the street, then open to two levels at the rear, turning the slope into an asset.
Vista Ostuni is a hotel in Ostuni, Italy, designed by RMA | Roberto Murgia Architetto. Set in the former Manifattura Tabacchi, the project turns a layered civic and monastic past into contemporary hospitality. The conversion restores the building’s generous volumes and stone fabric while aligning with five-star standards and local craft. It reads as both an urban re-opening and a coastal retreat, binding the White City to the plain of olive trees and the sea beyond.
Naxxar House sits in Naxxar, Malta, where AP Valletta recasts an 18th-century palazzino as a contemporary house. The architects add a sculpted stone screen to guard privacy from a new apartment block while opening the interiors to gardens. Completed as a 2023 reworking, the project folds local craft, reclaimed materials, and measured light into a lived-in domestic setting. It feels grounded and quietly sure of itself.
