Cristina Popescu — Mon, 02 Nov 2026 15:00:00 +0000

This small cabin, with just a 35 m² footprint plus an additional 10 square meters of loft space on its upper level, was designed to be a prototype for a tiny home. It was commissioned to us by a French contractor established in Chile, with whom we collaborated to develop this prototype of an architectural solution implementing a prefabricated construction system he had conceived.

House Up in the Clouds / Hennessey Architecture

Nana Dokua — Mon, 02 Nov 2026 12:00:00 +0000

Located in the foggy and windy Diamond Heights neighborhood of San Francisco, this fully renovated three-story 1962 Eichler residence includes a fourth level addition that serves to make the home more functional for a growing young family. This upper level addition contains a family room, bathroom, and roof deck, but there was a fundamental issue with the location of this new family room area; it is located two levels above the living/dining/kitchen level of the home, thereby risking not being used on a day-to-day basis.

Buriti Apartment / ponto.d

Valeria Silva — Mon, 02 Nov 2026 11:00:00 +0000

The Buriti apartment is located in Brasília, Brazil and has 65 m². The renovation of the apartment was planned to take advantage of and enhance the client's existing furniture and art pieces. Inspired by the buriti palm, a native tree of the brazilian cerrado, the concept permeated the entire project, influencing mainly the choices of colors and textures.

In the Wake of the 2024 Floods in Southern Brazil: Restore the Past or Rethink the Future?

Camilla Ghisleni — Mon, 02 Nov 2026 06:30:00 +0000

In May 2024, the floods that hit Rio Grande do Sul exposed a contradiction common to contemporary cities. Many were built alongside rivers and shaped by their presence, yet spent decades trying to control water without incorporating its dynamics into urban planning. Extreme weather events will intensify that vulnerability. More than two years later, reconstruction in the Brazilian state has progressed, infrastructure has been restored, and new protection strategies are taking shape. But are these cities rebuilding their relationship with water, or only restoring the systems that failed?

Reyyan Dogan — Mon, 02 Nov 2026 06:30:00 +0000

Following a seven-year pause, Amman Design Week returned in 2026 under the theme "Accumulations," bringing together designers, makers, and cultural practitioners to reflect on the work shaping Jordan's design landscape. The fourth edition, held from October 2 to 17, 2026, marked a new chapter for the event, with architects Sarah Hejazin and Bisher Tabbaa, founders of the architecture and design practice FADAA, serving as co-directors. Their appointment also brought their research-driven approach to the event's broader program, which explored the relationships between daily practices, cultural memories, and material environments. During the event, we had the opportunity to speak with Sarah Hejazin and Bisher Tabbaa about the thinking behind this year's theme, their approach to material investigations, and how practicing in Jordan informs their work across architecture, objects, and public space.

How Surface Materials Shape Contemporary Interiors

Agustina Iñiguez — Mon, 02 Nov 2026 05:45:00 +0000

Whether in residential interiors, workplaces, hospitality environments, or public spaces, the relationship between aesthetic intentions and technical performance can redefine how surfaces are used and how they perform. A material selected for its specific color, texture, or finish must remain visually coherent when applied to furniture fronts, cabinetry, countertops, and other interior elements. Yet how can architects and designers create visually distinctive and tactilely engaging interiors while preserving their original design intentions across different applications?

Herzog & de Meuron and EHDD to Transform a Mid-Century Warehouse for the Eames Institute of Infinite Curiosity

Antonia Piñeiro — Mon, 02 Nov 2026 05:30:00 +0000

The Eames Institute of Infinite Curiosity has unveiled the masterplan for its forthcoming archives in Marin County, California. The project, designed by Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron and Bay Area-based EHDD, transforms a mid-century modern warehouse into a cultural destination, with art installation space, flexible galleries, learning and gathering spaces, a theater, and dining offerings. The large-scale adaptive reuse project is accompanied by a transformation of the gardens and grounds of the surrounding 88.5-acre site, led by Field Operations. While the Institute's Eames Archives will form one part of the museum, its exhibitions and programming are intended to extend far beyond the work of Charles and Ray Eames, bringing together different disciplines, creative processes, and ideas.

Lion Green Road / Mary Duggan Architects

Lion Green Road is a residential-led scheme comprising five buildings containing 157 dwellings. The project sits within a verdant landscape in Coulsdon, London Borough of Croydon, within a geographical chalk basin. The wider context is varied typologically, including an extensive low-rise green belt development to the south on higher ground by Barratt Homes, delivering 667 homes alongside retained extensive lush open land. A traditional low-rise suburban grain populates the northern side of the site, also ascending toward Crystal Palace.

Foster + Partners and MANICA Unveil Design for New Stadium to Replace Milan's San Siro

Reyyan Dogan — Mon, 02 Nov 2026 04:30:00 +0000

AC Milan and FC Internazionale Milano (Inter) have unveiled the design for Generali Stadium, a 71,500-seat venue planned to become the shared home of the two football clubs in Milan, Italy. Designed by Foster + Partners and MANICA, the new stadium will be built alongside the existing San Siro as part of a 281,000-square-meter redevelopment of the surrounding area. The project follows years of discussions over the future of the historic venue, which the clubs acquired in 2025 with the intention of replacing it. Construction is expected to begin in 2028, with the stadium scheduled to host its first match during the 2031/32 season, subject to planning approvals.

Rene Submissions — Mon, 02 Nov 2026 04:00:00 +0000

Outdoor kitchens are no longer just an exclusive accessory; they have become a natural extension of the home. Gardens, terraces, and porches are transforming into spaces where cooking and, above all, entertaining can take place without having to step inside. In addition to offering convenience, this solution increases property value and responds to a lifestyle that is increasingly connected to the outdoors.

Minimalist House / FORM/Kouichi Kimura Architects

Pratik Mour — Mon, 02 Nov 2026 01:00:00 +0000

Situated on a hill rising from the lakeside town, this residence was planned for a single owner. The home was designed to incorporate the lake view as part of daily life. When hearing "a home for a single occupant", people typically imagine a compact house. Yet, living alone is not simply about having fewer residents. Without the need for family-oriented layouts or shared spaces, the house can be conceived with the individual as the base unit, starting from physical perception and rhythm of life.

SE House / Kantor Gunawan Gunawan

Pratik Mour — Sun, 01 Nov 2026 20:00:00 +0000

SE House stands as a quiet manifesto for tropical living, conceived as an urban oasis that reinterprets Australian-inspired design for Surabaya's vibrant context. Anchored by a courtyard that reflects the owner's attentiveness to landscape, the residence embodies natural sensibilities through design choices that promote airflow, permeability, and daily connection to foliage inside and out. Its philosophy is subtle yet deliberate, expressed through materiality and spatial choreography rather than overt displays of greenery.

House in Yakami / enter-archi

Pratik Mour — Sun, 01 Nov 2026 16:00:00 +0000

House in Yakami explores how architecture can respond to the landscape through bodily experience, rather than simply consuming its beauty as a view. The site is located in Yakami, Onan Town, Shimane Prefecture, surrounded by the Chugoku Mountains.

The House of Courtyards / Studio VDGA

Hana Abdel — Sun, 01 Nov 2026 14:00:00 +0000

Set in the city of gold, Dubai, this villa was one of the most challenging projects considering the diverse architectural languages that the city follows. Be it the towering skyscrapers, extremely modern boxed structures, or ornate villas, the city sees a lot in spatial expression. Various themes were scrapped, and many ideas were renegotiated till we found a form that very closely mirrors desert architecture.
