In Edgecliff, between a railway line and one of Sydney’s busiest arterial routes, Pointe Living introduces a compact residential model that challenges the conventions of medium-density housing. Designed by Luigi Rosselli Architects, the project replaces a single dwelling with ten apartments, positioning itself as a response to increasing pressure on urban housing while maintaining a […] 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
The Veil introduces a large residential program into the forested coastline of Dhërmi, where development has remained limited due to steep terrain and dense vegetation. Bofill Taller de Arquitectura approaches the site with a distributed strategy that avoids concentration. Instead of consolidating volume, the project disperses 366 apartments and 77 villas across two plots, organizing […] 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.

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
