Villa Ivy and Elisa stand in the village of Seseh in Bali, Indonesia, where Riccardo Rubelli draws the house deep into its tropical setting. Two villas share a calm dialogue between masonry, timber, and planted courts, their rooftop terraces tuned to breezes from the nearby beach. Inside, modern volumes and Balinese materials meet in a measured way that keeps the daily rhythm relaxed and quietly precise.
Yupi Residence steps back from the street in Bertioga, Brazil, where Raiz Arquitetura stages a coastal house for weekends and lingering vacations. The multigenerational retreat in Riviera de São Lourenço gathers three generations under one roof, balancing sociable poolside life with quiet interiors that look toward preserved tropical vegetation. Generous volumes, layered facades, and measured connections to the garden give this contemporary home a calm but distinctly social presence.
Haven House lands in Nosara, Costa Rica with a quiet confidence, its broad roofline throwing deep shade over a concrete plinth. Designed by Salagnac Arquitectos, the house turns a compact, roadside lot into a calm interior realm that leans on gardens, cross-ventilation, and measured openings. The project is a house with a minimalist attitude and a practical tropical toolkit, completed with warm timber surfaces drawn from the site itself.
