Shadow of Tradition anchors a new house on Bistryčios gatvė in Vilnius, Lithuania, where both the landscape and architectural heritage are closely protected. Conceived by Devyni Architektai, the project interprets traditional Lithuanian forms with charred wood facades, a gabled roof silhouette, and a slope-set basement that together weave local memory into contemporary living. Every move ties the compact rectangular plan back to nature, history, and craft.

Designed by acclaimed Brazilian architect Sergio Sampaio, the Float House in Tamboré, Brazil, is a stunning example of minimalist architecture that seamlessly blends with its natural surroundings. This contemporary house, conceived as the primary residence for a family within a condominium, offers a captivating panoramic view and a serene garden terrace that promotes a harmonious indoor-outdoor living experience.
