The Landscape Within anchors an apartment in Taiwan by designer Peny Hsieh, where the daily view of trees and sky sets the tone indoors. Raw stone, wood, brick, and iron replace overt luxury so the interior reads as a calm extension of the surrounding landscape, threading natural textures through the owner’s long-term home. Every surface leans toward clarity and restraint while holding quiet, durable character.
Renew sets a calm new chapter for a multi-level house in New Taipei City, Taiwan, reshaped by 1001 Giving Living.

East Hampton Modern stands on a pastoral property in East Hampton, NY, United States, where Workshop/APD rethinks the classic weekend house for city dwellers. The 2021 project arranges crisp gabled volumes around a pool and meadow, setting up a clear dialogue between social life, guest privacy, and the open landscape. Inside and out, the house reads as a retreat planned around movement, light, and long poolside days with visiting friends.

Every room leans on texture and light to hold its own quiet mood.
Reconstruction of a Writers’ Colony Villa returns a semi-detached house in Prague, Czech Republic, to dignified use under the careful hand of Atelier Hajný.

Across garden, envelope, and rooms, the project quietly rebuilds its material story rather than rewriting it.
Auseva House anchors a calm domestic world in southern Mexico City, Mexico, where Graus Arquitectura pursues clarity through order, light, and measured sequence.

Daylight, geometry, and restraint set the tone from the first step inside.
Tir Longë sits in the woods of Cesana Torinese, Italy, where Caracter Architettura d’Interni turns a steep A-frame cabin into a Nordic-inflected retreat.

The result is a small mountain hideaway with a clear point of view and a close dialogue with its forest setting.
