tissellistudioarchitetti transforms an abandoned ruin into Casa nel Borgo, a second home for a family of art collectors in one of Italy’s most beautiful villages. Set on a hill with the sea visible on the horizon, the house occupies a place where rural quiet meets the character of a historic village. The project starts from […] More
No-Wall Apartment by RDTH architekti questions one of the most familiar assumptions in residential design: that domestic life needs fixed rooms to function properly. The project removes almost all fixed partitions from the apartment, keeping only the installation shaft, skylight, and a door for the toilet. From that starting point, the architects develop an interior […] More
The site carries a clear memory. A previous cabin once stood here, before fire reduced it to a stone plinth. Mimosa Architects approach the project by accepting that condition rather than replacing it. The remaining base becomes the starting point for the new structure, anchoring it physically above the river while setting a measured distance […] More
HW Studio’s Kehai House in Morelia approaches architecture through reduction, restraint, and a precise reading of space as experience. The project begins with a clear conceptual anchor drawn from Kakuzō Okakura’s writing on the void, where absence carries presence and meaning. That idea does not remain theoretical. It drives every spatial decision, turning the house […] More

The project spans two lots and introduces six rental units through a carefully structured composition of semi-detached buildings. Two multiplexes face the street, while two laneway houses extend […] More
Set in the Ora Mountains, the project by No Architects confronts a landscape shaped by absence. Once inhabited almost exclusively by German-speaking communities, the region emptied after 1945, leaving behind a scattered terrain of abandoned villages and isolated structures. The intervention takes one such surviving building as its starting point, treating it not as a […] More
At Gaya Beach House in Mumbai, Porro enters a residence that already carries a strong architectural identity and answers it with furniture and storage systems that sharpen the house’s tone instead of softening it. The project sits on Juhu Beach, spans six floors, and comes from Lissoni Casal Ribeiro, who designed both the architecture and […] More
Set within the dense forests along the Maskinongé River in the Outaouais, La Maraude approaches residential architecture with restraint and clarity. Nathalie Thibodeau builds the project around a precise understanding of place, choosing to pull the house away from the river and anchor it deeper into the wooded site. This decision defines the entire project. […] More
Set within Toronto’s High Park neighbourhood, this renovation by Reign Architects reworks a traditional Edwardian house into a clear, open domestic environment shaped by light, movement, and material control. The project addresses a familiar condition found in many early 20th-century homes, compartmentalized layouts that restrict daylight and disconnect interior life from the garden. Here, the […] More
