Whidbey Uparati sits in Island County, WA, United States, as a house by Wittman Estes. The family retreat is designed for uparati—stillness—set lightly above a meadow. It folds a courtyard plan, cedar cladding, and wide glazing into a quiet, high-point perch with views to Useless Bay and the Olympic Mountains, aiming for connection to land and shared rituals.
Kohútka Cottage is a house in Prague, Czech Republic, by SENAA architekti. Designed in 2025, the project channels traditional Wallachian forms while adopting a contemporary, low-energy approach suited to mountain weather. A log-like profile faces east; broad glazing opens west to sweeping valleys. It’s modern living with practical mountain sense.
Aschmüllerhof sits in Laives, Italy, a house by Stefan Gamper Architecture that quietly threads contemporary life into the Bozen lowlands. The estate pairs a two-story residence with a working utility building, set within orchards and stitched by a pergola that frames a generous courtyard. Open rooms reach toward terraces and a private garden with a pool, while the build leans on masonry below and timber above to meet KlimaHaus A performance.
