In 1946, Philip Johnson designed a small residential commission in Bedford, New York. The Booth House, built three years before his iconic Glass House, introduced the architectural vocabulary that would define his career: restraint, transparency, material honesty, and a fundamental respect for landscape. Nearly 80 years later, that house is being restored by architect Drew […] More
Williamson Williamson looks to a 19th-century American housing type for DogTrot, a 1,500-square-foot country house in Magnetawan, Ontario. Rather than reproduce the historic model literally, the Toronto practice uses its central spatial principle to organize a compact contemporary residence shaped by climate, prefabrication and the difficult terrain of its lakeside site. HOUSING The traditional dogtrot […] More
Void Building Design has completed Panorama House, a multi-generational residence at Sunshine Beach designed around expansive views of the Pacific Ocean and the environmental demands of its coastal setting.

Heathside House by London studio Manea Kella begins with a familiar problem in the city’s residential fabric: a period home altered repeatedly until its original spatial logic has largely disappeared. Located within the Dartmouth Park Conservation Area, the Edwardian terrace had been divided into two apartments during the 1970s and remained in poor condition for […] More

Kinglet Perch by Sanders Green Architecture starts with the conditions of its steep site and a decision to preserve the existing Ponderosa grove. Completed in 2025, the 2,700-square-foot residence occupies a narrow section of land between the trees and the descending hillside, avoiding construction on flatter terrain lower on the property. Building there would have […] More

Lumeah by Pepper & Well approaches renovation as an exercise in editing. Located in Macedon on Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Country, the house was originally designed by modernist architect Paul Couch and was formerly known as Harley House. Its existing material palette is unusually disciplined: exposed concrete, bluestone, timber, stainless steel and compressed-straw Stramit Board define […] More
HW Studio approaches Casa Malonic in Zihuatanejo through a disciplined reduction of architectural elements. Completed in June 2026 at Punta Garrobo, Guerrero, the 497-square-meter residence relies on ground, roof, wall and shadow to organize a site defined by jungle vegetation and an uninterrupted Pacific horizon. Lead architect Rogelio Vallejo Bores and the studio resist the […] More
