The Trousdale Residence is located within a preexisting development, where regulations forbid building beyond the existing flat pad and set a ceiling height of 14 feet or less above grade. Anodized aluminum slats covering the exterior of the home are fastened in place by a strong adhesive created by "3M", where the client served as a scientist, manager, and vice president, and used in the manufacture of aircraft. The single-story house has two courts that provide a passage of light, water, and space in the middle of the building, and is rationally laid out with equal bays for private and public uses on either side. The galleries and auxiliary spaces are lit from the south and north by an east-west clerestory, and the southern patio and pool are shielded from neighbors above by a 25-foot cantilevered trellis, which also frames expansive, unbroken views of the Los Angeles Basin to the south. 📸 by Roland Halbe

The concept of wall panels as a defining element serves as the foundation for this augmentation of the living area with flowing rooms. Eight walls make a supporting framework as well as continuing within to construct rooms. Different spatial scenarios can be produced in a limited area using straightforward methods. There are three clearly defined spaces that are in an open relationship with one another and the garden. 📸 by Simon Menges

The client called for the creation of unique experiences in daily life while maximizing the potential of the setting. The architects created a courtyard home that looks out toward the town and surrounding mountains. A wall enclosing the courtyard and a horizontally accentuated voluminous form make up the structure. The wall's height has been chosen so that the rooms can see the spectacular mountain ranges. It was planned to blend in with the structure, which produced a stunning skyline. By doing this, it becomes a natural part of the new landscape and increases the area's scenic value. By Kouichi Kimora Architects 📸 by Norihito Yamauchi

Miguel Angel and Rafael Aragones created this work of modernist art, which is situated in the center of the Trousdale Estates - surrounded by greenery, rolling hills, and blue skies above. The idea was to incorporate natural elements inside the home and make use of the favorable environmental conditions that Los Angeles offers.

To welcome these elements, this intimate haven is as open as possible. Every possible volume of the house was diligently and cohesively planned as a single unit. “A sum of elements that generate space. A sum of spaces that narrate a story.” 📸by Inessa Binenbaum

Her departure marks the end of an era, and serves as a symbol that time passes. Her Majesty dedicated the bulk of her life to her service, representing her country, commonwealth, and people for 70 years. She will be united with her late husband and parents, as her present responsibilities have long been finished.

“GALLERY is one of the earliest major art intuitions in China dedicated to advancing the research and development of abstract art. After more than a decade of operation, the owner of the gallery invited ARCHSTUDIO to renovate the space, improve its functions and adapt to future development demands. Art Zone 798, where PIFO GALLERY is situated, houses a cluster of modern art spaces repurposed from electronics factories built in the 1950s.

Distinct from those iconic buildings featuring concrete arched windows in the art zone, PIFO GALLERY is set in an ordinary industrial building — a regular closed concrete "box" with high ceilings and poor natural daylighting. For renovating the gallery, ARCHSTUDIO's primary consideration was to satisfy its functional demands while endowing the space with a captivating ambiance and a unique visual identity, so as to improve the brand image of the gallery”.

House BRAS stands on an idyllic, tree-lined plot of land next to an old allotment in Antwerp's outskirts. As a result, it is designed to fit in with the natural surroundings. Meandering plans allow for unimpeded vistas of the garden in all seasons and at all times of the day.

There are three main areas on the ground floor: a living space with an open kitchen, a fitness area with a pool and a sauna, and a music room with a view of the pond as a backdrop. The auxiliary areas, such as stairs, the pantry, entryway, and bedrooms, are all connected by glass tunnels that run the length of four closed blocks clad in dark larch veneer. 📸 by Lenzer .be

“The site is a moss-covered hilly area with views over a quiet bend in the glacial river in the spring; the river floats icebergs from the glacier through the nearby bend in the river, toward the sea some 100 kilometers away. One approaches the house from the top of a hill The building is organized as a sequence of events, from parking through walking between the garage and bedroom spaces, into the living space and out into the country-side The intention of the plan was to grab the mossy hill of the surrounding countryside and bring it into the living space, creating a continuous one-room experience. This enables panoramic views of the river and the distant mountains to the west.” By 📸 by Rafael Pinho

“It will come as no surprise that the L.A. home of gallery owner Nino Mier and Barbara Gladstone Gallery partner Caroline Luce is chock-full of art from both of their collections— along with natural light, and more art. Blessed with staggering views and set in the buzzy Los Feliz neighborhood, the homebody couple may be art world bigwigs, but their favorite hang-out partner is actually their adorable dog, Kipp.” By 📸 by Sam Frost

“He wanted a great yard, she wanted a great room. They both desired a home with a strong beating heart for themselves and their two teen-age children. This modern family practices togetherness, not hanging out in separate rooms. The architects’ assignment was to design an appealing centralized habitat for all members of the household to use and enjoy.” By 📸 by Darren Bradley

A place created to fosters calm and tranquility, designed by Japanese architect Kouichi Kimura in Shiga, Japan. The three-bedroom house, located amidst a field between a concrete factory and expressway, was designed with few views out to minimize the noise level emitted from the outside. These factors directed the residence’s layout and impenetrable appearance. By Kouichi Kimura Architects 📸 by Norihito Yamauchi & Yoshihiro Asada

The Silver House, designed by Belgian architect Olivier Dwek, is a stunning property on the Greek island of Zakynthos. Set on a rocky slope, the structure responds to its stunning surroundings by providing unbroken views of the neighboring island of Kefalonia, and the Ionian sea beyond. Inspired by the monochromatic works of late French artist Yves Klein, Olivier Dwek made limitless blue the most crucial contextual element determining the house's direction, volume, and spaces. 📸 by Serge Anton
