Casa Lago / More&Co

Cristina Popescu — Wed, 08 Jul 2026 06:30:24 +0000

Casa Lago comprises a pair of new-build dwellings designed to adapt to the complex topography of a triangular, steeply sloping plot. Conceived as "two houses in one," the volumes complement each other without interference; each seeks its own relationship with the landscape among mature pines, generating private outdoor spaces that extend the interior program. Integrated into the forest without sacrificing open views of the reservoir, the dwellings are understood as lightweight shelters that allow for inhabiting nature in all its dimensions.

Gabion House / AR Arquitectos

Valentina Díaz — Wed, 08 Jul 2026 06:30:24 +0000

The house is conceived as a contemporary, introspective work of architecture, where the project is organized around the experience of the journey and the construction of spatial sequences that gradually reveal the materiality and atmosphere of the spaces.

A CORMELÁ Renovation / MARXE a+t

Valentina Díaz — Wed, 08 Jul 2026 05:57:30 +0000

Bangladesh Chancery Complex and Ambassador's Residence / Shatotto

Pratik Mour — Wed, 08 Jul 2026 05:57:30 +0000

On December 6, 1971, Bhutan became the first country in the world to recognize the independence of Bangladesh through an official telegram. In this historic message, King Jigme Darji Wangchuck expressed his support for Bangladesh's struggle and his belief in the nation's eventual success. Inspired by this profound political friendship, the Bangladesh Embassy in Bhutan embodies the harmonious fusion of Bhutanese and Bangladeshi culture, celebrating the historical, geographical, cultural, and diplomatic connections between the two nations. The project is conceived as an expression of cultural diplomacy, where architecture becomes a medium of mutual respect, trust, and friendship.

Casa Co / Aagnes studio + JDEstudio

Cristina Popescu — Wed, 08 Jul 2026 05:57:30 +0000

Casa CO, designed by JDEstudio with interiors by Aagnes Studio, is conceived around the pursuit of beauty as a fundamental architectural principle. Rather than treating beauty as a purely aesthetic quality, the project explores it as an organizing force: one that shapes space, materiality, and experience, allowing architecture to become a vessel for reason, spirit, and the sublime.

Born 10 / NORA studio

Pilar Caballero — Tue, 07 Jul 2026 19:54:00 +0000

In a town with such a rich winemaking tradition as Binissalem, this project was approached much like the process of producing a wine—encompassing all its stages, from the harvest, destemming, crushing, and pressing, to letting it ferment until the prized wine is achieved. Throughout this process, by studying and gathering historical information about both the house itself and its surroundings, we broke down the key elements of the project, identifying three coexisting worlds.

Villa Lava / Nábito Architects

Valentina Díaz — Tue, 07 Jul 2026 19:23:00 +0000

Villa Lava is a private residence located in Santa Tecla, in the province of Acireale, on the eastern coast of Sicily. The project is a unique architectural combination: the union of two houses into one large villa. On one hand, there is an old fisherman's cottage dating back to around 1900, completely restored by Nábito Architects to preserve its essential character while carefully uncovering and preserving the original lava stone vaults.

Cave Terramilia / MOS Arquitetos

Valeria Silva — Tue, 07 Jul 2026 18:35:00 +0000

On the slopes of the Serra Catarinense, about 60 km from Florianópolis, Rancho Queimado is a refuge nestled between mountains and valleys where the mild climate shapes a landscape defined by the Atlantic Forest, Araucaria trees, rivers, and highland fields. The town originated as a rest stop for drovers connecting the coast to the interior, reinforcing its role as a gateway to the mountains. Within this context lies Condomínio Fazenda Terramilia, a residential development set across approximately 100 hectares, designed to seamlessly integrate contemporary living, community life, and nature.

(not ready) Chongqing Eternal Land / Zen Architects

韩爽 - HAN Shuang — Tue, 07 Jul 2026 18:03:00 +0000

The continued renewal of Chongqing's Dian Ce Cun district is organically layering urban vibrancy, neighborhood vitality, and high-quality living into a denser, more dynamic model of contemporary life. In 2021, China Resources Land and Hongkong Land jointly entered Chongqing's Guanyinqiao area, making Guanchen a key urban renewal project in the city's core. As the final chapter of the Guanchen series, Wangyunchao spans over 60 mu and serves not only as a major residential development in the city center, but also as an exploration of new urban living models in the context of "second urbanization."

Perma is a five-residence retreat set into a rocky north-facing slope on Serifos Island, Greece.

Shilaya Cottage / Meister Varma Architects

Miwa Negoro — Sun, 05 Jul 2026 21:00:00 +0000

Shilaya – from śilā, meaning stone- is a home in Kotagiri, a small town tucked away in the Nilgiris mountains of Tamil Nadu. Kotagiri was the earliest European settlement in this region in colonial times, and that architectural influence is clearly visible in the numerous stone churches, cottages, and missionary schools that dot the landscape. The project was built on the brownfield site of one such cottage that had partially collapsed.

Basque Farm / zU-studio

Cristina Popescu — Sun, 05 Jul 2026 09:00:00 +0000

The project is located on top of a hill in the Basque Country. The original farmhouse measured a 23 × 23 metre square footprint and was divided into four equal quarters, accommodating four families. The new intervention reimagines the building as a home for a single family while preserving the character and presence of the original structure.

Stone and Wood Studio / Common Wonder

Nina Vuga — Sat, 04 Jul 2026 06:00:00 +0000

Amsterdam, Hangzhou, and London-based studio Common Wonder explores the dialogue between wood and stone in a small garden pavilion in Amsterdam that feels at once robust and finely wrought.

Acervo House / GAM Arquitetos

Pilar Caballero — Thu, 02 Jul 2026 13:00:00 +0000

Casa Acervo was conceived from the idea of bringing together architecture, shared living, and memory into a single narrative. More than a beach house, the project sought to create spaces capable of reflecting the residents' personalities, accommodating their habits, collections, artworks, and moments of gathering.

Casa Continuum / Inverse Project

Cristina Popescu — Wed, 01 Jul 2026 19:00:00 +0000

Rather than occupying the highest point of the site, Casa Continuum dissolves into the hillside, transforming a steep tropical terrain into a continuous architectural experience shaped by landscape, climate, and horizon. Located within the tropical dry forest of the Peninsula Papagayo on Costa Rica's Pacific coast, the 1,600-square-meter residence explores what the architects define as "Essential Architecture."

El House / Wahana Architects

Miwa Negoro — Thu, 25 Jun 2026 02:00:00 +0000

More than a residence, El House was conceived as a welcoming oasis for extended family, close friends, and professional colleagues, and was designed to foster connections across generations and relationships. Driven by that heartfelt ambition, Wahana Architects focused on creating a truly welcoming place where ease and comfort would set the table for an ambiance conducive to a variety of conceived gatherings.

Huerquehue Refuge / DRAA

Valentina Díaz — Fri, 19 Jun 2026 12:00:00 +0000

The Rock Shelter. We took on this commission a couple of years ago because the clients, a couple well-versed in the ideas of Byung-Chul Han, wanted a cabin in the woods that met at least two requirements: to resist a forest fire (at least partially) and to disappear into the landscape.
