Casa PZ draws together alpine context and refined interior thinking in an apartment in Courmayeur, Italy by DC|EF studio. The project reworks a compact mountain residence into a layered, contemporary setting where custom pieces and calibrated light reframe everyday rituals. Within this tight envelope, the studio orchestrates a sequence of convivial rooms and quiet retreats that echo local material culture while maintaining a crisp, modern edge.
House JM stands as a calm, contemporary single-family house in Ljubljana, Slovenia, shaped by the narrow urban plot around it. Designed by SoNo arhitekti in 2024, the residence stacks three levels to separate shared living, private rooms, and support areas while still reading as one clear volume. Inside, light, glazing, and a raised ground floor set a measured rhythm for everyday family life.
Ft. Greene Brownstone stands on a tree-lined block in Brooklyn, Kings County, NY, United States, its restored facade anchoring the row. Sherman Architects reworks the landmark house as a tall, light-filled home where a family moves between books, play, and garden. Behind the rebuilt stoop and cast-stone ornament, the interior shifts from intimate rooms to a double-height living volume that opens wide to the backyard for daily use.
Mission Canyon Residence sits high above Santa Barbara, CA, United States, where NMA Architects align coastal light, ocean air, and mountain views around a resilient hillside house. The project replaces a home lost in the 2009 Jesusita Wildfire and rethinks indoor–outdoor living through careful siting, fire-conscious construction, and climate-responsive comfort. Every room leans into a distinct panorama while maintaining year-round livability and safety.
La Conception III sits in La Conception, Canada, as a house by Nicolas Chaudier architecte that works with the grain of its wooded hillside site. Local cedar, deep glazing, and stratified volumes respond to the forest while organizing family life inside. Interior rooms track a gentle shift from communal living to more private zones, so the house feels rooted in its setting and tuned to daily routines.
House on the Edge of the Plain sits at the soft edge of Murska Sobota, Slovenia, where suburban plots meet the long horizon of the Pannonian plain. Skupaj Arhitekti use a spare, low house to translate that threshold condition into architecture, pairing exposed concrete with loose gravel and generous glazing. The result is a calm, minimalist house that reads as part landscape, part dwelling.
Dora Villa sets a concrete cube against the broad fields and low hills of Quốc Oai, Hanoi, Vietnam, its profile reading clearly from the suburban edge. PAK architects arrange this house as a family retreat, where verandas and voids negotiate between raw structure and the changing climate. Inside and out, the project balances compressed thresholds and expansive rooms so daily life stays close to light, air, and the surrounding greenery.
Phum Sambo Café & Eatery sits in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, as a restaurant renovation by Khoan + Partners that respects an existing concrete frame.

Guests read the building’s past while stepping into a gentler present, grounded in local light and tropical air.
