Jiuxi Rose Garden sits in Hangzhou, China, as a private house by GFD shaped around quiet contact with landscape and light. The 500-square-meter residence draws nature into daily rituals, from tea and reading to family gatherings, through restrained materials and calm furnishings that keep the focus on texture, proportion, and the slow movement of the seasons. Rooms stay open yet composed, inviting an unhurried way of living.

10M sets a calm residential agenda in Tokyo, Japan, where CUBO design architect places a house at the edge of greenery with distant sea views. The project draws a Japanese-American couple toward quieter days, aligning daily life to water and horizon. Within this house typology, a long pool and a measured entry sequence organize movement and sightlines, inviting the coastal landscape back into the rooms.
