    JCB House / SUITE
    Located in São Paulo, JCB House is a 450-square-meter single-family residence designed by SUITE based on a precise and quiet premise: to create an architecture that presents itself in its most essential form, allowing life to unfold naturally. Developed between 2024 and 2026, the project draws on the interplay of solids and voids to organize integrated spaces that challenge the boundaries between interior and exterior, offering the family a functional, welcoming home open to different ways of l

    Residential house in Vilnius / Architectural Bureau G.Natkevicius & Partners
    The project was implemented in an exceptional location in Vilnius – the Aukštagiris Geomorphological Reserve. The protected forest environment and hilly terrain became the main axis of this architectural concept. The landscape dictated the position of the buildings on the plot, allowing for maximum use of natural light, opening up the most spectacular views through the windows, and maintaining a respectful, sustainable relationship with nature.

    Ikebukuro Living Furniture - Tram Stop / Yosuke SAGOSHI Atelier
    This broad avenue, extending from Ikebukuro Station toward Marunouchi, was once traversed by Toden trams, with a terminal located right in front of the station. Lines ran from Ikebukuro toward Ueno and Sukiyabashi. One can only imagine the myriad stories that must have unfolded at those stops.
  • Legombang Treehouse / Cave Urban

    Legombang Treehouse / Cave Urban
    Legombang Treehouse reinterprets traditional Balinese architecture as a contemporary tropical family home, using reclaimed timber, passive design, and a treehouse-like structure woven around the site's existing trees. Designed by Cave Urban co-founder Jed Long for his own family, the house is located in Pantai Lembeng, Ketewel, Bali. As both architect and client, Jed had the opportunity to explore his own approach to tropical family living without the constraints of a conventional client brief.

    La Joya / Veö estudio
    On a plot of land that rises thirteen meters (forty-three feet) from the street, "La Joya" House transforms the challenge of a steep slope into an architectural journey, revealing the landscape of San Agustinillo level by level.
    The project emerged from a brief to develop three independent units: two small apartments intended primarily as rentals, and a larger residence for the owners' temporary stays. Instead of concentrating the program into a conventional volume, the steep topography offered

    Herdade da Matinha Country House / Sabrab
    Between the cork oaks and the Vicentina Coast, Herdade da Matinha was born from an abandoned Alentejo estate, whose chimney still bears the date 1917. This rural tourism project, developed by SABRAB Architecture in collaboration with the owner Alfredo Moreira da Silva, starts from a simple principle: to make use of what already existed and add only what was necessary, with the same economy of means that has always characterized rural construction in the Alentejo region.

  • Family home Eemnes / Kumiki

    Family home Eemnes / Kumiki
    On the edge of the Zuiderheide nature reserve in Eemnes stands a family home dating from 1971. The original house had a square footprint and measured just fifty square metres. An extension was added in 2002, but this resulted in a fragmented layout. The staircase was hidden away in a corner, the rooms were dark, and the spaces were poorly connected, both visually and in terms of circulation.

    Estúdio Semibreve / Estúdio Clara Nahas
    No Estúdio Semibreve, a materialização da narrativa exigiu um exercício rigoroso de zoneamento e uma subversão proposital da lógica habitacional. Em uma área de 55 metros quadrados, o Estúdio Clara Nahas estabelece uma planta de fluxo invertido, onde a hierarquia convencional entre o público e o privado é reordenada para priorizar o recolhimento. Diferente da recepção imediata por áreas sociais, a entrada acontece pela zona íntima. O visitante da mostra é convidado a percorrer o d

  • Lele Hotel / The Lab Evn

    Lele Hotel / The Lab Evn
    Located in Vayots Dzor, Lele Hotel is conceived as a direct response to the character and topography of its mountainous surroundings. Rather than imposing a separate architectural object on the landscape, the design seeks continuity with the terrain through its materiality, proportions, and relationship to the existing slope.

  • Scaffolding as Interior Architecture: The Longevity of Temporary Structures

    Scaffolding as Interior Architecture: The Longevity of Temporary Structures
    Scaffolding is perhaps one of architecture's most familiar temporary structures. It accompanies buildings through construction, maintenance, and renovation, only to disappear once its work is complete. Yet its apparent impermanence conceals a different kind of longevity. Scaffolding systems are designed to be assembled, dismantled, transported, and reused, with standardized components robust enough to withstand repeated handling and changing site conditions. Their temporary character lies less i

    Two Projects in Paris Win the European Collective Housing Award
    As cities struggle to provide adequate and affordable housing, examining built examples of collective housing can help inform decisions about what to build and how. These projects offer opportunities to assess solutions, understand their limitations, and consider what might be applied elsewhere. In Paris, two recent examples combine apartments of different sizes with access to gardens, courtyards, and other outdoor spaces, working with structures already in place.

    Pavilions as Stances: 6 Unbuilt Proposals from the ArchDaily Community
    In architecture, the word "pavilion" can describe an endless variety of structures. It might be defined as a principle and a typology, a freestanding structure, a temporary intervention, a gathering place in the city, or a space for experimentation. This last quality is what unites the six unbuilt projects featured here, all designed and submitted by ArchDaily readers. Here, the definition lies in their sculptural qualities and formal exploration, while their permanence and location vary accordi
  • Ibiza House / Studio Metamorphosis

    Ibiza House / Studio Metamorphosis
    There are places remembered for the way they are inhabited. Ibiza represents a way of living where time revolves around shade, landscape, and shared spaces. This was the starting point for Studio Metamorphosis when designing this vacation home in Albacete: to reinterpret the essence of traditional Ibizan (payesa) architecture without literally reproducing it, adapting it to a new context through a contemporary lens.

    Blu Pizzeria Jeddah / movs studio
    Blu is a pizzeria chain where every restaurant takes its character from the city it opens in. For the Jeddah location, MOVS STUDIO built the interior around the element that shapes this Red Sea port: the wind. The restaurant occupies a corner unit of 335 square meters with a curved glazed facade. A terrace runs along the glass, and behind it the plan opens into one large hall, with the kitchen, storage, staff rooms and restrooms gathered in a compact service block at the rear.

Located in Mirador Punta Pite, Papudo, Chile, the house sits at elevation 240 on a steep hillside, in a privileged position facing the ocean, offering panoramic views of the landscape. Maximizing and enhancing this condition was one of the main objectives of the project.

    Set on an approximately 24.000 m² site with an elevation difference of over 60 meters descending toward the reservoir, the residence emerges from a desire to establish continuity between architecture, topography and landscape. Organized across three stepped terraces, the house follows the natural contours of the land, breaking into volumes that adapt to the slope, minimize earthworks and preserve the relationship with the surrounding environment.
