PARENTS’ House / YES.ARCH

Andreas Luco — Thu, 19 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The First Act of Organization: Tracing the Trajectory of Life — The existing three-story building sits on terraced terrain, accessible from both north and south. Years of habit had formed a vertical functional zoning: the second floor, connecting to the vehicular road in the southern community, served as the main entrance, housing the living room, garage, guest room, balcony, and atrium; the first floor, backing against the hillside retaining wall and facing the rear garden, connected to the pedestrian secondary entrance and consisted of the dining room, kitchen, and entertainment room; the third floor was the most private sleeping area, containing two bedrooms and a study. After continuous discussion and comparison of schemes, this zoning was retained in the renovation. The thinking focused on how to release the spatial potential of the house to become a catalyst for the evolution of future life.

Axis of Growth House / Elemental Living

Miwa Negoro — Wed, 11 Feb 2026 19:00:00 +0000

Text description provided by the architects. This house was designed and built on the same plot of land as the extended family's residence to provide privacy for a new family unit. Beyond aligning the building with natural sunlight and wind directions, the form of the house emerged as a direct response to the unique conditions of the site. By tilting the building along the land boundary, we maximized usable space while introducing a courtyard that not only enhances functionality but also captures the prevailing southwest wind. This design transforms the courtyard into a natural ventilation gateway that allows airflow throughout the day.

Khai Son Duo Penthouse / Idee architects

Miwa Negoro — Sun, 11 Jan 2026 02:00:00 +0000

Idee Architects has designed Khai Sơn Penthouse by merging two adjacent penthouses into one continuous living environment for a young family. The project creates a vertical spatial journey that links double-height voids, balconies, and diverse living areas into a cohesive home.

Villa T / la obra

Valentina Díaz — Mon, 29 Dec 2025 06:00:00 +0000

The old Villa Terraza, named by its first inhabitant with a small sign at the entrance, already contained the essence of the project: a house defined by light and the desire to transform an apartment into a bright refuge. This original intuition guided the project from the beginning. The home opens to all orientations, allowing the sun to organize the rhythms of daily life.

MDN House / Nook Architects + Amomicasa

Valeria Silva — Wed, 17 Dec 2025 10:00:00 +0000

We find ourselves in the heartland, in a location surrounded by forest, fields and vineyards in the Penedés region. A small town that, in recent times, has been given new life and seen its population swell thanks to the alternative educational projects of its schools.

Zaremba Residence / Reitsma and Associates

Hana Abdel — Sun, 14 Dec 2025 20:00:00 +0000

The Zaremba Residence is a bold statement that embodies the playful, adventurous, and cozy lifestyle of a family of five. The clients quickly became enthused about the project with a key goal to create an iconic home for the unique location at the tip of Buddina with the Ocean to the East and Mooloolaba Marina + northern coastline to the North West. The house achieves the client's street appeal requirements by boasting identifying curves, creating a visually striking effect that is truly unique and iconic to the area.

La Doyenne Renovation and Extension / NatureHumaine

Andreas Luco — Thu, 20 Nov 2025 17:00:00 +0000

La Doyenne is a renovation and the expansion project of a Victorian house built in 1887, a few steps away from Square Saint-Louis in Montreal. In a high-density built environment characteristic of the Plateau Mont Royal, the main challenge to meet the desire of its new occupants was to design an extension in the back yard preserving their privacy from the side and rear buildings. The project's singularity comes from the integration of multiple floor level variations. One enters the house through the living room, located half a level above the street, to reach the backyard, slightly recessed into the garden. This intervention aims to create a height offset in relation to the level of the neighboring terraces while reinforcing the verticality of the interior volumes.

Wooster Penthouse / FORRM Architects

Hadir Al Koshta — Sat, 25 Oct 2025 09:00:00 +0000

After a devastating fire destroyed the interior of this Wooster Street penthouse apartment, the owners took the opportunity to turn it into something special. Located in a historic brick former warehouse building with an underutilized outdoor space, they wanted to maximize the exterior and modernize the interior. To create a connection between inside and out, layout flexibility, and more light at the lower level with a modest construction budget, every decision needed to count.

Private House in Tskneti / NS Studio

Valeria Silva — Tue, 07 Oct 2025 10:00:00 +0000

The design approach seems to focus on creating a seamless integration between the interior and exterior spaces, with an emphasis on spatial fluidity and visual continuity. The elongated plan of the residence likely informed the layout, fostering a sense of openness while minimizing abrupt divisions between functional zones. The use of neutral tones for the background palette effectively establishes a restrained architectural canvas, allowing for the functional compositions to be articulated through the juxtaposition of contrasting textures, colors, and materials.

T.M Project / TWO Arquitetura

Andreas Luco — Tue, 09 Sep 2025 14:00:00 +0000

The TM Project, located in the exclusive Fazenda da Grama, is designed as a sophisticated family home with the ambiance of a luxury retreat. The house features an open-plan layout that connects the living room, TV lounge, games table, fully equipped bar, and gourmet area, all designed to flow seamlessly for both daily living and entertaining.

Casa B . V / CIMA studio

Hadir Al Koshta — Mon, 18 Aug 2025 10:00:00 +0000

"I start a project when I visit a place." - This phrase by Siza represents our design philosophy, and in particular, what happened with Casa B . V. In this case, the process also included choosing the property (purchased to be our future home). From the very beginning, during the visits, the trapezoidal floor plan offering unusual perspectives, the L-shaped terrace, the compact size, and the great potential to redesign the layout gave us the feeling that this was our home, or better, our challenge.

House J / Atelier About Architecture

Pilar Caballero — Fri, 15 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

House J is located in the western part of Beijing, perched high in the mountains. To the north lies Fragrant Hills Park (Xiangshan Park), while to the east, the view opens toward Yuquan Mountain, offering broad and expansive vistas. The owner of the residence spent more than a decade living abroad. The flowers and trees planted in the courtyard years ago remain lush and vibrant. Alongside them, untended wild grass has grown freely, while the red brick exterior walls and the weathered metal surfaces of the sunroom are fragments of a bygone era.

Longhouse in Beijing Hutong / Jin Lei

韩爽 - HAN Shuang — Mon, 23 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The project is located in the traditional neighborhood of Beijing's South City, where a large number of aboriginal people still live and retain a lively city life；The project site is less than 100 square meters with a narrow face width of only 4 meters，the original courtyard is also occupied by rooms, so the site is very narrow and dark.

Rendezvous for Four Generations Residence / FLOAT DESIGN STUDIO

Miwa Negoro — Thu, 19 Jun 2025 19:00:00 +0000

The interior employs the design principle of "less is more" to match the modern, white facade, reaching a rational balance between the volumes and divisions of each space. Limited colors and single materials expand the visual scale and embody a modern ambience. The 3-story floor plan coordinates the westward mountain-facing floor-to-ceiling windows. The outdoor pool serves as a micro-climate control factor. Natural lighting, views, and ventilation are prioritized in order to maintain a comfortable, livable indoor climate. Minimal materials, shapes, and cabinets were employed to retain spaciousness.

Tintoretto House Rehabilitation / Symbiose Interior Architecture & Design

Valeria Silva — Sun, 15 Jun 2025 09:00:00 +0000

Drawing upon the Mediterranean spirit that defines its surroundings, Casa Tintoretto reimagines interior space as a dialogue between organic forms, and materiality expression. Rooted in place yet open to reinterpretation, it revisits regional architectural typologies: arched passages, a close connection to nature, and the use of local materials, to craft a home that feels both timeless and contemporary.

The House That Meets the River / LIJO.RENY.architects

Pilar Caballero — Wed, 11 Jun 2025 02:00:00 +0000

Perched along a scenic waterfront, 'the House that Meets the River' subtly emerges, blending into its verdant surroundings while gracing what could arguably be Thiruvalla's most captivating locale. Embracing a brutalist architectural style, yet characterized by the elegance of simplicity in its choice of materials, this residence embodies a profound poetic resonance with its environment. It nurtures an intimate and meaningful connection between its residents and the distinctive, natural surroundings, forging a harmonious bond that transcends the ordinary.

Pine Island Cottage / Bureau Tempo + Thom Fougere Studio

Hana Abdel — Wed, 23 Apr 2025 12:00:00 +0000

Nestled on a secluded island in the heart of Georgian Bay, Ontario, Pine Island Cottage blends seamlessly into its natural surroundings. With interiors designed by Bureau Tempo and Thom Fougere Studio, this serene family getaway unfolds as a series of gathering spaces that gently cascade along the island's sloped stone formations. Mirroring the textural richness of the natural world, the interior is at once rugged and serene. A rough stone to sit on, an unexpected bit of rain — this is the kind of friction that dissipates naturally when we're outdoors, bringing us into communion with nature. In the central living area, four distinct zones — kitchen, dining room, living room anchored by a fieldstone hearth, and outdoor porch — encourage togetherness, while the sleeping quarters, situated at a higher point on the island, offer a peaceful refuge.

House of Cross / Chaoffice

Pilar Caballero — Wed, 09 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The three-year pandemic reshaped the way people live and work, and the owner of this house was no exception. In 2023, they decided to return to their parents' home in the village and rebuild a house that could accommodate three generations while also serving as a home office. In the years to come, they may settle here permanently, no longer needing to commute between the city and countryside for work. As always, the intent of this design is to address real-life challenges. It does not aim to embrace abstract notions of "tradition" or aesthetic conventions. Kenneth Frampton wrote that confronting a place's inherent issues can become an opportunity for the development of critical regionalism. This idea aligns with my own interests.

Birch Residence / Table Architecture

Hana Abdel — Thu, 13 Mar 2025 12:00:00 +0000

The Birch residence is part of an early 20th-century development in the town of Saint-Lambert, Québec. The original building, with its generous architecture, featured ornamental woodwork and evoked the domestic elegance of the last century. However, the design, with its partitioned rooms, conflicted with contemporary living. The aim was to create fluid, uncluttered spaces that connect to the yard, addressing previous design shortcomings. A compact volume was also built at the rear to house the kitchen. The new interior layout is organized in two main axes: services and circulation, and living spaces. The kitchen is now the focal point, promoting a natural flow between the ground floor and the exterior. The house's features are reinterpreted with contemporary touches, such as stained wood veneers, trim work, larger openings, and new views toward the garden. The material palette blends the warmth of wood with the coolness of concrete. A prism of masonry, echoing the original materiality, the volume establishes a formal contrast with the turn-of-the-century building. At once alien and familiar, the extension stands out without confronting.

Angra House / Arthur Casas

Pilar Caballero — Fri, 20 Dec 2024 14:00:00 +0000

By the sea, an architecture combining large openings, raw stones, and mashrabiyas interacts with the surrounding materials to establish full integration with the nature of Angra dos Reis, in Rio de Janeiro.

House K / Kart Projects | Architecture

Hana Abdel — Mon, 11 Nov 2024 03:00:00 +0000

The clients for this project – a couple and their two kids – wanted a single-story house while also retaining as much of their garden as possible on a relatively small block. The design strategy was to remove the old lean-to and add a small 50 m² extension of connected living spaces, increasing the total footprint of the house by 30 m², making the most of each space by overlapping functions rather than adding a new room for each.

Peugeot House of Silence / Natan Gil Arquitetura

Pilar Caballero — Thu, 10 Oct 2024 14:00:00 +0000

In the 37th edition of CASACOR São Paulo, “De presente, o agora”, architect Natan Gil offers a unique experience by exploring the concept of silence in an environment that combines architecture, landscaping, decoration and design. With an area of 1528 ft², the space integrates a living room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. The journey through the environment is transformed into a cozy sensory space, where the project's proposal is dedicated to the contemplation of stillness. The proposal suggests something different by making the presence of silence almost palpable.

Vyshyto House / Makhno Studio

Pilar Caballero — Sat, 14 Sep 2024 09:00:00 +0000

The Ukrainian authenticity encoded with the contemporary design and architecture — frequent requests from our clients. We believe that respect for the past is the guarantee of a conscious future. The MAKHNO Studio shares this philosophy, so in the Vyshyto house we tried to reveal the Ukrainian ethnicity once again. Maintain a balance between national self-perfection and modern visual solutions. Create our own unique ornament. In this house intertwined the significance of MAKHNO Studio's contemporary Ukrainian style, the past and the present, and what is very important – the energy of clients, like the ornament on the central case, that repeats throughout the whole house, and the hanging iconic Khmara lamps create the illusion of a sky-like atmosphere. Vyshyto is a home for a large Ukrainian family with a father, mother and four children. The family cherishes the national heritage, so they wanted to see it firmly woven into the DNA of their future home. This becomes clear when first acquainted with the house.

Mureli House / Makhno Studio

Pilar Caballero — Wed, 11 Sep 2024 12:00:00 +0000

Mureli is a Ukrainian archaism, an original word in the language of our ancestors, which has fallen out of modern use, but we would like to bring it back. Because we hold mureli in our hands every summer, small orange ones with a red gradient, sweet or sometimes sour. Mureli means apricots. We gave this name to the project of a family house near Kyiv because the construction was finished just in the middle of the summer, and stylistically the interior reminds us of a warm July morning when your eyes are still half-closed, but you are already barefoot looking for the way to the kitchen, where murelis are waiting in a vase since yesterday.
