House reborn: renews a private family house in Israel by Spiegel Architects, led by architect Ron Spiegel, through a careful renovation rather than demolition. The project reshapes an existing split-level home for a couple and their two children, prioritizing light, greenery, and a richer daily routine. Across interior rooms and garden settings, the intervention balances inherited structure with a newly cohesive material palette that threads through every level.
Jänkä Resort sets its hotel deep in Finland, where snowbound forest presses close to glass and timber. Designed by Fyra, the project turns shared interiors into an experiential journey that links guests to nature, Lappish culture, and each other. A generous restaurant, layered lobby, and safari lounge shape a warm sequence that balances rugged materials with soft light and finely tuned details.
Chalet 1740 rests in Sauze di Cesana, Italy, where Caracter Architettura d’Interni reshapes a traditional chalet into a calm retreat of timber, stone, and glass. The project folds contemporary comforts into a rustic alpine shell, pairing generous windows with restrained furniture and a warm material palette that keeps the mountain landscape always in view. Every room leans on texture and light to hold its own quiet mood.
Pak Chong House sits on an elevated plot in Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand, where S+S Architects draw the house out toward long farmland and mountain views. Designed as a private residence, the project balances exposure and shade while leaning into the owner’s preference for a Modern Japanese aesthetic, with wood-rich interiors that stay calm even in the hot afternoon sun.
Apartment Lavrica sets a calm, contemporary tone in Lavrica, Slovenia, where Studio Formica reworks a compact house into an easygoing home. Sunlight, pale wood, and precise color choices carry through the living room, kitchen, and bedroom to create a consistent visual rhythm. Every surface feels considered yet relaxed, from the gallery wall above the sofa to the soft textiles that temper the open-plan layout for everyday family life.
Retreat in the Heart of the Dolomites is a two-level retreat in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy, by Parisotto+Formenton Architetti. Set within a historic ciasa, the project balances local building heritage with a quietly contemporary interior palette shaped by wood, light, and crafted pieces. The result reads as a measured Alpine home, made for unhurried days and clear mountain air.
Modern Farm House sits in Čtyřkoly, Czech Republic, where an aging farmhouse becomes a contemporary house by Marketa Killi. The renovation keeps rural quiet while bringing city-grade comfort and crisp detailing. Inside, the rooms open to sunlight, timber, and stone, and the plan supports family life without fuss.
Crescent House Renovation anchors a classic Toronto, Canada house with a contemporary rear addition by Akb Architects. The project refreshes period rooms while opening the back to light, landscape, and everyday meals. In two moves, it respects ornate plaster and marble up front, then pivots to long panes, warm wood, and a garden-focused kitchen at the rear.
