The Scultpted Penthouse crowns a residential tower in Taipéi, Taiwan, where interior designer Peny Hsieh turns a once-fragmented apartment into a sculptural, two-level refuge. Across 230 m², the project replaces narrow rooms and an underused terrace with flowing volumes, matte mineral surfaces, and soft daylight. What emerges is a calm, contemporary apartment that frames the city’s skyline while giving its owner a quieter, slower rhythm of everyday living.
Sky House transforms a tired 1970s house in South West England, United Kingdom into a rigorously updated family home by Klas Hyllen Architecture.

Inside, contemporary minimalism meets warmth and color as the retrofit aligns daily life with ambitious low-energy performance.

The project reads as a careful recovery of character rather than a cosmetic update.
Lakeside Villa unfolds as an art-inflected house in Shanghai, China, shaped by WJ STUDIO as both home and private gallery.

House of Plants anchors a quiet courtyard in Paris, France, where Sophia Charles Architecte reimagines a once-fragmented house as a calm sequence of lived-in rooms.
