Wicker House is a house in Singapore by Ming Architects, completed in 2024. The home brings open views of water and greenery into a plan that still keeps the bedrooms private, using screens inspired by rattan and a light, tropical palette. Natural materials, bright interiors, and measured pops of colour shape the daily experience from room to room.
Casa Safran Cenisio is an apartment in Milan, Italy, redesigned by Icona Architetti Associati within a 1960s residential building in the Cenisio area. Completed in 2025, the renovation overturns the original plan to create a more generous living zone, two bathrooms, and a flexible study-guest room, while balancing Milanese modernist references with colors, materials, and collected objects linked to the owner’s travels in India.
Soft & Minimal refines a 130 sqm apartment in Ramat HaSharon, Israel with a quiet, monochrome palette. Designed by Shira Lavi BD, the home strips away partitions to form an open, balanced interior where terrazzo, brushed aluminum, and oak veneer anchor daily life. Calm furniture arrangements and carefully placed art keep the rooms light on visual noise while still feeling tailored and livable.
A Resolutely Maximalist Mini Loft condenses an entire visual universe into a compact apartment in Bagnolet, France, reimagined by ZYVA Studio’s founder Anthony Authié. Inside an industrial shell near Paris, the architect layers youth culture references, bold color fields, and cartoon-like furniture into an unapologetically graphic interior. What starts as a simple volume becomes a dense narrative of textures, objects, and memories that turns everyday domestic life into an ongoing visual story.
Nimbo unfolds inside an early apartment in Genoa, Italy, suspended above the historic center in the Castelletto district. Designed by Giulia Grillo in 2025, the renovation traces shifting light, restored terrazzo, and Moroccan cement tiles as they anchor a more fluid, contemporary sequence. Rooms hold views of sea and city, yet keep the quiet cadence of a bourgeois neighborhood shaped by tree-lined boulevards and wrought-iron railings.
Contemporary Classic transforms a 200 sqm (2,153 sq ft) apartment in Monza, Italy, under the direction of designer Anna Arpa. Within a historic envelope, she reshapes the domestic layout into a fluid sequence of rooms that balances ornate ceilings and contemporary custom work. The apartment now reads as a generous family home, tuned to daily life yet grounded in Milan-area craft and a calm, layered material palette.
Casa Chiara sits inside a Liberty-style residence in Italy, where ornate facades and wrought iron balconies frame a newly pared-back interior. Designed by Davide Andracco, the 90-square-meter (969 sq ft) apartment becomes an airy, open home with light pouring through original French doors toward the sea. The renovation brings clarity to a compact plan while honoring the building’s historic shell.
Kart Projects designed House K, a single-storey residence in Australia, in 2021. The project, just a 50-square-metre extension, aimed to maximise garden space on a small block. The design retained existing spaces while cleverly overlapping functions. Coffered ceiling volumes in the addition provide a sense of spaciousness and light.
