A geometric concrete structure stripped of ornamentation that has recently become an unlikely star on screen, serving as the backdrop for the series Dept. Q, based on novels by Danish author Jussi Adler-Olsen. Yet the 11-story complex, whi

• Capsule Retreat / East Architecture Studio

  13-11-2026 08:00 via ArchDaily Global
  
  Overlooking the coniferous forests of Mount Lebanon, Capsule Retreat is a modern home that beds into an ancient landscape of sandstone outcrops and alpine villages. Paying close attention to the flesh of the site, the design process sets aside aesthetic sensitivities in favor of a more physiological reading, one that acknowledges the stratification embedded in its materiality, where incompleteness and low-tech building technologies found in rural settings were the starting point to weave in desi

  On the edge of a municipal estate in Mitry-Mory, between farmland and the town center, the Maison de l'Environnement et de la Biodiversité occupies a former go-kart track, framed by grassy embankments and already reclaimed by a beekeepers' association and its hives.

  13-11-2026 04:00 via ArchDaily Global
  
  Casa Tranquilo is a 10,000 sq. ft. villa in Verla Canca, North Goa, set within dense forest. Our inspiration was not a building or a style but a philosophy of slow living: a home where the day is marked by birdsong and the changing light through the trees. We let the existing forest guide the design, so that every tree that could be saved was woven into the plan and the house feels like it grew from the forest floor rather than being built on top of it.

  Mekong Breeze House celebrates Cambodia's tropical spirit — where sunlight dances through patterned terracotta screens, and the river breeze flows freely under and through operable windows, sliding panels, and open spaces. Designed in harmony with nature, its U-shaped formation embraces the landscape and the view of the Mekong, preserving existing trees and creating a living sanctuary of comfort, culture, and calm.
