City Cottage is a home shaped by a deep affection for inner-city life - by people who know their neighbours, invest in their local fabric, and believe that cities are built as much through shared meals and conversation as they are through buildings.
Twobo, formed by Maria Pancorbo, Alberto Twose and Pablo Twose, presents Casa Sota la Mola. Situated in Matadepera, at the foot of the Sant Llorenc del Munt i l'Obac Natural Park in Barcelona, the project is rooted in a careful reading of its surroundings and designed to blend unobtrusively with the characteristic red hues of the landscape.
“Designed with particular attention to simplicity, functionality, and respect for traditional codes, La Maraude embodies a successful dialogue between contemporary architecture and local traditions,” says Nathalie Thibodeau Architecte.
Located in a residential subdivision to the west of Zapopan, Casa Bosques Vallarta emerges as an exercise in synthesis and functionality, where volumetric sobriety and connection to the outdoors guide the design.

The site lies in a small mountain town. Along its northern edge, a natural slope carved out during land development remains exposed, now overgrown with wild vegetation and supporting a modest ecosystem. Subtle shifts in the site's topography suggest a faint continuity with the distant fields and village landscape.
Liten Hytte is located on the shore of Lake Michigan, near the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. The area is a popular summer destination, with modest clapboard cabins and cottages within easy walking distance of the pristine beaches and clear waters of the lake.
This is a house for the designer himself and his family. The site is adjacent to a long-established community center on the north side, while the surrounding area is an old settlement where signs of gradual residential development and generational change can be seen.
The human being, while inhabiting, is a being that dwells. The lived house carries the notion of belonging and reveals the essence of those who reside within it. It is here that relationships are built, dreams are projected, and memories and imaginaries are evoked.
My ambitions to explore a new era of design were kind of haunting me. I wanted to see what was next for me creatively. And with that, Calderone kicked off a very personal project in Manhattan that sent her deep down the Art Deco rabbit hole.
In Maxeville, next door to the eastern French city of Nancy, ABC delivers 20 social housing units for seniors on the Haut-du-Lievre plateau, known for Zehrfuss's once-longest-in-Europe housing block and its panoramic tower, now entering its final winter as Lorraine's tallest.
This timber-framed house, designed as a second home for longstanding Sydney clients, complements their newly acquired vineyard at Main Ridge. Rooted in a 20-year relationship, the project is rich in personal connection and shared vision.
The building is located on a plot close to the urban center of Sant Esteve de Palautordera, near the Montseny Natural Park. Despite being in a privileged environment, the urban conditions of the area allow for little separation between homes, and the developers request a single-story construction.
The building started its growth from the central core, which was a meeting place for common living between nature, building, and people. This construction never caused nature and building to create a border for each other; only the borders in the east and west were created, not to separate from nature but to stay in nature, the borders dictated by the climate.
Valckensteyn, the first mass timber residential building in Rotterdam, has been officially delivered.

House on Georgian Bay, a 3,780 sq. ft. (350 m) year-round residence designed to replace a beloved but aging family cottage with a home intended to endure for generations. Grounded in principles of aging in place and long-term livability, the project reinterprets the traditional Georgian Bay cottage through a contemporary architectural lens.
With 886 entries, the Gold Nugget is the biggest regional competition in the nation, said Pete Mayer, judging chairman and producer of the show. But it was design--not price--that guided the panel of 14 home building and design experts who were judges in the 'Gold Nugget' competition at the annual Pacific Coast Builders Conference.

Beit Hawa, is a residential project in Uptown Cairo shaped by the ethos of morphosis, where the interior architecture functions as an adaptive system rather than a static arrangement. The design moves away from rigid modernist typologies, employing fluid spatial sequences that negotiate transitions between private and public zones. Surfaces and volumes are defined through layered materiality, integrating light, texture, and structural clarity into a coherent spatial syntax. Circulation operates as a generative element, creating smooth shifts that dissolve conventional boundaries between functions.
Set within a coastal bushland landscape, Ironbark House forms a retreat from the complexities of contemporary life. The clients' aspirations focused on connectivity for their busy family of five and a relationship to the landscape. The architecture is intended to assimilate into the landscape's strong presence, the large span openings, and 'as local as possible' materials form this strong connection.
