TreeTop House sits on half an acre in Longboat Key, Florida, where SOLSTICE Planning and Architecture shapes a compact family house around creek views and privacy. The 2017 design answers a suburban site with a restrained plan, a water entry, and long sight lines that keep the rooms connected to the landscape. Inside, light, ventilation, and durable materials support everyday living and entertaining.
White Haus is a house on Siesta Key, Florida, by SOLSTICE Planning and Architecture. Set at the meeting point of two boating canals, it answers a site defined by water, sun, and tropical breeze. The house focuses on open views, outdoor gathering, and a calm balance between material, form, and light, without leaning on fashion.
Soho Triplex in New York, United States, by Studio Razavi + Partners turns three separate floors into one apartment. The 2022 project trades floor area for connection, using a bronze helix, paired openings, and a restored street arch to link daily life across levels. Walnut, marble, glass, steel, and woven fabrics give each room a distinct register as light shifts through the day.
Alta North is a house in Alta, WY, United States, designed by Prospect Studio as a contemporary mountain retreat for a family of five.

Slot House is a house in Los Angeles, United States, designed by ANX / Aaron Neubert Architects for a steep hillside site. The project recesses its garage into the slope and places two levels of living above, using a bridge, retaining walls, and a continuous skylight to tie the house to the terrain. Long sightlines, framed views, and a private rear terrace guide the experience from street to hillside.
Wooster Loft is a 2008 loft renovation on Wooster Street in Manhattan, New York, NY, United States, designed by Dub Studios.

Hinge House is a 2024 house by Workaday in the foothills of Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States. Set to capture both city and mountain views, it turns early decisions about orientation into the project’s clearest architectural move: roof planes that intersect, lift, and shade. Inside, high windows, broad glazing, stone, and pale wood keep daylight and the landscape close in every room.
North Bank Road is a house in Washington D.C., United States, designed by Pierre Maré Architects. Conceived as a comfortable contemporary family home, it responds to a wooded setting and demanding seasonal shifts with a pared-back exterior, durable construction, and interiors that pull light deep into the plan. The project balances shelter, warmth, and daily livability without losing sight of the landscape around it.
