Villa Zenith sits above the coastline in Las Huacas, Nosara, Costa Rica, as a house by Salagnac Arquitectos shaped for ocean views and breeze. The plan divides generous social rooms and terraces from six quiet bedrooms, opening living areas to an infinity pool and an outdoor BBQ while keeping private quarters calm. Clean lines, light tones, and natural textures anchor the indoor–outdoor rhythm.
Apartment Z lands in Bratislava, Slovakia, as a rethought maisonette by GRAU architects. The apartment shifts from a compact two-room split-level into a layered home with a generous terrace and a clear day-night rhythm. Spread across the highest floors of a corner building, it pairs an art-forward living level with a quiet lower floor, letting light, circulation, and flexible furniture set the tone.
Home in Bailucchi anchors a two-level apartment on Genoa, Italy’s highest historic hill, where the city’s first stronghold once stood. Designed by llabb, the residence unites two former units into a split-life arrangement with sleeping rooms below and an attic-like living level above, tuned to sea light and port views. It’s a home that doubles as a lived-in gallery, shaped around daily rhythms and a clear sequence.
UAN House lands in San Carlos de Bariloche, Argentina, where Alric Galindez Arq places an upside-down plan on a gentle, brushy slope. The house sets living areas above and sleeping rooms below to catch lake views of Ventana and Catedral hills while preserving the low vegetation. It reads as two clear volumes: a residence and a lifted garden that leaves the original ground intact.
Casa Oruç sits in Mineral del Monte, Mexico, where mist, pines, and a severe grade shape daily rhythms. Saavedra Arquitectos steers a house through this wooded slope with an approach that starts high and threads down to living. It’s a house, yes, but also a route through trees and rock, built for hosts who love company and quiet in equal measure.
Towhouse VI anchors a careful renovation of a 1950s house in Kortrijk, Belgium by Decancq-Vercruysse Architects. The project treats everyday rituals as design drivers, translating personal habits into warm materials, generous storage, and measured connections to a walled garden. Living areas open to light and greenery, while quieter rooms lean into darker tones and soft texture. It reads as domestic craft tuned to daily life.
Higienópolis Apartment sits in São Paulo, Brazil, remodeled by Sandra Sayeg Arquitetura for a couple shifting into an empty-nest rhythm. The apartment becomes both an intimate home and a generous host, tying living, dining, and terrace into one continuous sequence. Social rooms open to the tree-lined neighborhood, while private rooms reorganize around daily needs and frequent guests without losing clarity.
House SW reimagines a 1975 house in Vienna, Austria with a calm, legible plan. Illichmann Architecture leads the renovation, addressing a once-dark entry, awkward circulation, and a poor link to the garden with a nimble reorganization. The project replaces a peripheral stair with a split run and brightens the core while preserving the building’s footprint.
