Mar de Flores stands on a rising coastal slope in La Libertad Department, El Salvador, conceived by Elástica Studio as a compact multi unit housing enclave. Four slender homes climb toward the sea, stacking terraces, bedrooms, and rooftop decks to work with the sun, the breeze, and the view. Inside and out, the architecture leans on simple materials and clear volumes to keep attention on ocean light and everyday coastal life.

Fidalga Penthouse sits in São Paulo, Brazil, where Gurgel D’Alfonso Arquitetura turns a duplex apartment into a lively home for a young family tied to food and hosting. The project rewrites the plan around a working kitchen fit for filming and everyday meals, then carries a tactile mix of materials through living areas and up to quieter rooms under a gabled roof. It feels purposeful and warm.
