House Slabbert sits in Stellenbosch, South Africa, where SALT Architects reworks a modest 1973 modernist house into a more connected family home. The single storey house is re-planned for convivial cooking, outdoor gathering, and better light, yet the low-profile street façade stays recognizably of its time. New internal and external sequences now support an easy movement between public rooms, private quarters, and a series of terraces tuned to everyday life.

Villa Dellago sits on the east shore of Lake Garda in Torri del Benaco, Italy, as a one-story house by JM Architecture. The pavilion settles onto a natural terrace aligned with the water, trimming excavation while framing long views. Within this compact outline, the plan splits daily life between a glazed living wing and a private master suite, with service rooms centered and lower-level rooms cut into the slope for light and outlook.
