Casa Altanera is a single-family house in Puerto Escondido, Mexico, designed by Taller Alberto Calleja in 2020. The project is arranged as three operational modules, with shared living areas set apart from two independent bedroom volumes. Its plan responds to the site’s natural reforestation and uses movable timber façades to adjust to changing weather.
Chalet L is a hotel in San Martin de Tor, Italy, designed by Perathoner Architects in 2024. Set on a hillside in the Dolomites, the project reworks Alpine tradition through stone-clad ground floors, timber upper levels, and south-facing gabled roofs. Built to CasaClima A Nature standards, it pairs local materials with high energy efficiency.
Phong House is a house in Hòa Vang, Da Nang, Vietnam, designed by Milimet Vuông for a young family. Completed in 2023, it balances modern comfort with the slower rhythms of a suburban village. A pitched roof, natural materials, and generous openings keep the home connected to its rural setting without losing a contemporary edge.
Casa en Asturias sits on a raised terrace in northern Spain, composed by Jovino Martínez Sierra Arquitectos as a contemporary house tuned to long coastal views. The project organizes daily life around a double‑height living room and a concrete walkway that threads the home like a quiet promenade. Broad glazing frames the Cantabrian horizon, while the pool and lawn extend the plan outward.
Foothill Terrace sits in Austin, United States, as a house shaped by continuity and careful change. Furman + Keil Architects return to their 2002 work for a 2021 remodel and additions that respect a midcentury lineage while embracing current living. The result threads new rooms and finishes through an existing rhythm, carrying the exposed structure from interior to garden and back again.
Sydney architect David Parsons has breathed new life into a Californian Classic bungalow in the leafy suburb of Rosebery, transforming it into a sun-drenched sanctuary that celebrates seamless indoor-outdoor living. Designed in 2022, this comprehensive renovation fulfilled the clients’ vision for an additional level with two bedrooms and an ensuite, a redesigned open-plan living area, and a new double garage.
Balancing heritage and height restrictions with the need for ample sunlight was a key challenge, but the meticulous design process, aided by 3D modelling, resulted in a solution that met all requirements.
