M House: Tree-Led Plan and Rooftop Pool in Bangkok’s Urban Center

M House: Tree-Led Plan and Rooftop Pool in Bangkok’s Urban Center

M House sits in Bangkok, Thailand, designed by IDIN Architects as a compact home grown from an inherited garden. The client kept the site’s mature trees and asked for privacy from the street, steering a plan that bends around trunks and views. Linked by a first-floor terrace to the original family house, the new volume carves rooms between green pockets and tucks a pool on the roof for light and daily use.

Riba House sits in Puembo, Ecuador, a two-level house by TEC Taller EC that takes its cue from a venerable carob tree at the site’s center. The bar-shaped plan wraps the tree to frame views toward Quito and the Andes, then loosens into a terrace that stretches the daily routine toward the horizon. Urban edge meets valley quiet here, and the plan mediates both with poise.

Merryhill Farm: A Trio of Contemporary Homes by OB Architecture

Merryhill Farm: A Trio of Contemporary Homes by OB Architecture

Nestled in the heart of West Wellow, United Kingdom, Merryhill Farm is a testament to the innovative design prowess of OB Architecture. This project, completed in 2020, features a trio of contemporary homes, each thoughtfully contoured into the existing sloping landscape.

The design of these homes is a harmonious blend of privacy and openness, with expansive floor-to-ceiling glazing that invites the beauty of the rural views indoors. The front of the properties, however, is purposefully more discreet, encompassing intimate spaces such as snugs and utility rooms. This one-of-a-kind architectural design, coupled with a robust landscaping scheme, brings a refreshing, contemporary aesthetic that enhances the rural charm of Merryhill Farm.
