    House with Ghost Roof and Garden / OOOarchitecture
    This wooden family home is located in a residential neighborhood in Inage Ward, Chiba City, Japan. The design is organized around an L-shaped, single-story plan that embraces a central garden. Rather than serving merely as an ancillary outdoor space, the garden forms the heart of the living environment, continually exposed to the changing conditions of light, wind, rain, and plant life.

    The Giant's Garden Daycare / design CHOU
    The Giant's Garden is a children's activity space inspired by Oscar Wilde's fairy tale The Selfish Giant. In the story, winter lingers in the garden while children are kept out, and spring returns when they come back. The project began with the idea of creating a garden within the city, brought to life by children's activities. Here, children explore soil and shape dough, while parents take a moment away from their daily routines and rest nearby.

    One Orient, the new corporate headquarters of technology group Telling in China's third-largest metropolis, Shenzhen, has been completed to plans by architects von Gerkan, Marg and Partners (gmp).

  • U House / NAQI & Partners

    U House / NAQI & Partners
    In many rural areas of northern Vietnam, large plots once occupied by extended families and lineages are gradually being subdivided among younger generations to build separate homes. As the lifestyles of younger generations evolve alongside urbanization, patterns of settlement are changing: plots are becoming smaller, multi-storey houses are replacing low-rise garden houses, while family life is becoming increasingly independent.

    House with Forest Windows / Yosuke Tomiya Architectural Design
    House with Forest Windows is a compact timber residence in Sapporo, Hokkaido, located where an ordinary suburban neighborhood meets a dense woodland. The site offered an unusual condition: while neighboring houses stand close on the street side, the rear of the property opens directly toward the forest. The design began by asking how everyday family life could engage with this landscape while maintaining privacy from the surrounding residential environment.

  • Mila House / Isla Architects

    Mila House / Isla Architects
    The idea of renovating a mid-terrace home—tucked between a small street and an alley—changed radically when the opportunity arose to purchase the adjacent plot, a long, narrow strip measuring 25 meters long by just 2.5 meters wide, built edge to edge. This allowed for the creation of large openings onto the new courtyard, and the project transformed into an exploration of all possible ways to bring light into the homes: sliding windows flush with the wall exterior, vertical and horizontal pi

  • A Walk on the Roof: Linnahall and Tallinn’s Shifting Shoreline

    A Walk on the Roof: Linnahall and Tallinn’s Shifting Shoreline
    From the end of Mere Boulevard in Tallinn, Linnahall appears as a long, low mass of limestone and concrete laid between the Old Town and the bay, kept deliberately beneath the line of the medieval silhouette so that the spires remain visible from the water. Broad stairways climb its flanks to a roof paved as a public square, and from there a sequence of terrace steps down toward a small pier, a helicopter pad and the open Gulf of Finland. Under that surface sit an amphitheater for 4,200 people,

    Located at Haras Amparo Medeiros, in the rural area of Princesa Isabel in the Paraíba hinterland (sertão), Casa Amparo was designed based on an analysis of the local natural conditions and landscape.

    Greenhouse House 23 / Yemail Arquitectura
    There is a moment when construction and demolition look identical. Sometimes, that concrete image—suspended between absence and the promise of the future—becomes a guide for physical intervention. If we strip away the symbolic sense of violence it sometimes imposes on its site, a ruin can also be understood as a material and temporal inventory.

    Architectures of Movement: 6 Unbuilt Transport Structures from the ArchDaily Community
    The idea of transportation infrastructure tends to be more hostile than interesting: spaces of transit, of constant encounters with strangers, places that no one seems to claim. These structures organize movement and provide spaces that often operate around the clock. The unbuilt projects below push back against this notion of a no-man's-land, proposing infrastructure as an object of architecture. Located in Iran, Montenegro, the Canary Islands, Sweden, the United Arab Emirates, and South Korea,
