Mount Martha House by Kister Architects
This tranquil retreat surrounded by nature is located in the back lanes of historic Mount Martha (an established Melbourne bayside neighborhood near the gateway to the Mornington Peninsula). The requirement for a multi-generational private family retreat included a strong link to context as well as discrete zones for seclusion and entertaining. The primary reaction was anchored by biophilic design concepts, which permitted the seamless blending of interior and outside. The design locates a triangle plan around a central courtyard and uses the slight slope of the site to optimize the entry of natural light year-round, maximizing the northern aspect by hugging the southern boundary.
A high, sturdy charred-timber wall separates the house from the street, providing immediate solitude. This wall slips away to reveal a covered entry, beyond which are the major volumes: living areas clearly separated from private zones, each winding around the manicured courtyard and framing the landscape with full-height windows.
A glass breezeway to the main retreat and a glazed corridor to the kids' wing, which connects to the living room, provide continuous visual and spatial connectivity. Each room is flooded with natural light, emphasizing the pared-back materials palette - the timber lining, blockwork, and glass, with pared-back finishes and a soft green-blue palette - while the pergola and central courtyard create an ever-changing play of shadow and light while also providing protection from the elements.
The interplay of transparency and solidity across the facade breaks up the visual bulk of the building mass, which is both an aesthetic and functional decision, because the blockwork provides thermal mass and the high-performance double glazing maintains the internal temperature, while louvres allow for cross ventilation. Additional environmentally friendly measures include considerable insulation, solar panels, hydronic heating, ceiling fans, storm-water collecting, and maximization of natural light.
Engineers were brought in to advise on glazing, concealed pelmet features with custom-made, folding steel lintels, and the huge, curving canopy in the courtyard. Energy professionals assisted on passive heating and cooling, and landscapers advised on landscape integration. Budget control includes choosing low-cost interior materials and fixtures, as well as exquisite yet low-maintenance finishes. Mount Martha House, in summary, presents itself gently as a versatile and sensitive site intervention, skillfully mixing wide entertainment zones and an openness to the surrounding nature with enclosed parts that give a refuge of seclusion and sanctuary to those within.

Pic-Bois (Woodpecker) by Ravi Handa Architect
Amid red maples and trembling aspen stands a white cedar volume with a gable roof pointing to the treetops. The long chimney, the vertical rhythm of the envelope and the steep slope of the roof contribute to the slender silhouette of the chalet. The palette of exterior materials, like the interior design, is made up of soft, raw tones that blend in with the natural decor.
The program is demanding: three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a sauna, a dining room, a kitchen and a living room spread over 1,500 square feet. However, the project succeeds in creating comfortable and always pleasant spaces, around the hearth or in connection with the clearing. Thanks to the cathedral ceiling and the internal organization which judiciously compacts certain rooms to allow the common living spaces to breathe better, the Pic-Bois chalet favors openness and grandeur.
The poplar slats of the cathedral ceiling are visible in all the rooms on the second level, creating a link between the spaces while expanding them. Particular care has been taken with the openings in each of the rooms, ensuring a relevant connection with the forest. In the common living area, the openings in height frame certain trees and invite you to contemplate the smooth bark of a poplar or the generous leaves of a maple.
With its efficient program, its connection with the outside and its balanced architecture, the chalet Pic-Bois integrates with respect and sensitivity to its environment. Like the trees that surround it, this wooden volume imposes itself with raw beauty and natural simplicity.

Casa Sierra Fría by Esrawe Studio
"Casa Sierra Fría" a rectilinear building in Mexico City with a brick facade that defines the home's disguised exterior and encloses a lush courtyard at its center, is the first residential project finished by Mexican company Esrawe Studio.
The outside walls and floors of the home are constructed of narrow red bricks, giving it a unified and enduring appearance. The home's front is made more private by the absence of any windows; instead, floor-to-ceiling glass walls surround the interior courtyard and provide the living areas views of the rich vegetation. According to the company, "The sequence of volumes are constructed in the shape of a horseshoe, unveiling themselves and unwinding across the home." A light material palette inside contrasts with the reddish façade; light-colored walls and pastel stone floors go well with it. The layout includes a garden, four bedrooms, a studio, a living room, a dining room, a kitchen, a rooftop terrace, and an outdoor patio with a wine cellar. César Béjar, an architect and photographer, contributed the pictures.

The Canyon Drive by LOHA
LOHA, an American design studio, has created a row of sculptural, metal-clad homes in Los Angeles to investigate possibilities for the "small lot subdivision typology."
Canyon Drive is a development near Hollywood, just south of Beachwood Canyon. The home construction comprises of five three-story apartments totaling 10,000 square feet (929 square meters) on a narrow, rectangular land.
The design started with a single mass that fit within the envelope's maximum permitted size. The bulk was then separated into distinct residences with an abstracted A-frame design by tilting external walls at varying degrees.
To provide extra internal room, the core piece of each house expands outward.
The team was able to create chances for sun exposure and natural ventilation while also producing dwellings that felt unique from one another by sloping the walls.
The designers employed angled wall studs and panel systems to generate the building's sculptural form, which has a nautical appearance from some viewing points.
Two different materials are used to clothe the facades. The lowest level, which houses a two-car garage, is wrapped in cedar.
Aluminum panels and storefront windows provide a lighter aspect for the upper part, which cantilevers over the garage door.
The first floor of the house has two bedrooms, while the top floor has an open zone for sitting, dining, and cooking.
White wood floors and a kitchen island topped with Bardiglio marble are among the interior details.
Instead of a standard rear garden, each property has a roof deck with views of the neighborhood and a spot to get some fresh air.

250 m² Carmel Coast House by DARchitecture
The land, in the middle of which stood a tiny, one-story home erected in the early 1980s, was engulfed in dense, untamed vegetation. When Darchitecture approached the project, they knew right away that the surrounding plants and wildlife would be an important component of the home design. Except for the structural pillars and the roof, the house was entirely dismantled. All of the outside and interior facades were entirely redone.
The new split separated the house into three floors, emphasizing the separation of public and private rooms on one hand while utilizing and confronting the plot's mild slope on the other. The entry door was installed at the middle level. This level that connects the various areas of the home also functions as a progressive barrier between public and private space.
A long longitudinal axis runs through the home, connecting the front garden to the back, highlighting the depth dimension of the structure. This major axis is lighted by glass windows on both sides that have been opened. The concrete roof is a relic from the old home and was slanted due to the tiled roof above. To give the home individuality and a modern aspect, it is now disguised by a painted tin wind box. The entire home is coated in bricks salvaged from a house that burnt down in Belgium and was moved to Israel.
A journey to Africa affected the planners and led to the choice to recognize raw materials and simplicity as essential features of the design, as well as closeness to the beach and the salt in the air from the ocean, which had a significant impact on the design. Additional characteristics that serve as a guideline for all DARchitecture projects, particularly this one, are the use of contrasts, the mixing of styles, the use of light and shadow to create drama, and the incorporation of nature and plants into the home.
As a result, the home office has a modern floor that meets restored barn doors from the original house, a skylight that opens over the kitchen and illuminates the space, wooden louvres that filter the light in the bedroom, bamboo sticks on top of the pergola that change the shadow effects throughout the day, and large window openings that open towards the gardens around the house, framing and integrating the natural surroundings. The use of local natural stone, exposed concrete, and various types of wood merges in with the furniture and things gathered during the house's demolition and at other marketplaces throughout the world.

The Salt Box Residence by Parnagian Architects
Parnagian Architects in the United States has published photographs of a speculative house elevated on stilts over a hurricane-ravaged coastal New Jersey location.
The Salt Box Residence is being designed for a flood-prone salt marsh in Mantoloking, a tiny village on a sliver of land between the Atlantic Ocean and Barnegat Bay.
The concept home is located at the point of a tiny peninsula surrounded on the west by a commercial shipyard and a marina. The property's other two sides face the water.
The house has three stories and 2,400 square feet (223 square meters), with the lowest floor mainly open to the elements.
A screen built of Atlantic white cedar planks that alternate in width will wrap the home's façade. The brise-soleil reduces solar heat intake while varying porosity creates a dance of light and shadow within the dwelling.
The wood is designed to age naturally with time.
"The cedar weathers to a natural grey, a subtle design move to give it the sense of being there forever," the company stated.
Because of the risk of floods, the living quarters of the house are elevated above the ground.
The entryway sits on the ground floor, next to a covered parking lot and an outdoor shower.
The first level houses a bedroom as well as an open area for cooking, dining, and relaxing. Large glass expanses let the room seem connected to the surrounding landscape.
"An open living, dining, and kitchen space is thought of as an outdoor room,' with a double-height volume and floor-to-ceiling glass, welcoming occupants into the landscape," the team explained.
The main living area opens onto a glass-lined patio with a stairway down to the ground floor.
The top level has three more bedrooms, as well as a study and laundry facilities. The study has a view of the floor below.
White oak flooring and woodwork, as well as white-painted plasterboard and cement board, are among the interior finishes. The ceiling and an outside soffit are both coated in cedar.
The team envisions a solar array that would generate power for the residence atop the home's gently sloping roof, which is exposed to the southwesterly sun.

Patio House by herchell arquitectos
This initiative aims to call into question the way people live and occupy their surroundings on a daily basis. The 715m² Casa Patio tries to isolate the space from city life and invites the user to live an experience, an escape into the unknown, a refuge where steel columns protect those outdoor passageways surrounded by central patios that they requested nature for permission to cohabit with her in the same harmony.
The initial approach to the location is at San Sebastián del Oeste, a lovely village in Mexico. A wonderful village, as the name suggests, surrounded by colonial buildings, facades, and the same hues in tones of red and white, stone streets, and quarry sidewalks. There is an order and harmony in this lovely village that is difficult to find.
San Sebastián del Oeste is a village in the highlands one hour from Puerto Vallarta on the highway that is home to a variety of vegetation, including pines, ferns, parotas, and avocados. This path is one of the most scenic in Mexico since it begins on the beach and ends in the forest and mountains.
As a result, the land was discovered to have two big avocado trees over 20 m tall, which inspired us to surround these trees, adapt ourselves, and construct central patios that can cohabit with nature without destroying those trees.
An H-shaped area was constructed in which we created a structure adaptable to the 21st century inspired by the historic haciendas of the 17-19th century left by the Spanish influence. The house created a hacienda-style style that protects itself from its neighbors and generates a conviviality towards the center of the house without worrying about what surrounds it, with its central patios, interior corridors, steel columns, exposed beams, windows, and ironwork doors of the bedrooms overlooking the central patios. This design was created since the home is in a condominium with serial lots and no privacy between them.
The ground level has 4 complete rooms, 5 complete bathrooms, a double height living room, kitchen, terrace-dining room, firepit, and laundry area. All of this is accomplished via an H-shaped structure linked by outdoor passageways and stairs that play with the terrain's unevenness. The upper level was created with a hotel-boutique idea, with an isolated entrance, and the owner of the property has the ability to rent four beds each night, Airbnb style, while using his own space.
The rooms for rent on the top level are meant to maintain the absolute solitude of the ground floor by retaining its windows and corridors with views of the opposite side. The renter gains access to the outside of the home through a spiral stairway coated with entire sheets of steel.
We employ regional resources like brick from clay pits in the area, reeds for the ceilings, and pine wood cultivated and chopped in the same area of Jalisco. The facade demonstrates how the timber went through a carbonized wood burning process to avoid competing with nature. This carbonized wood procedure, developed by the Japanese a century ago, is a highly beneficial technology since it extends the life of the wood by up to 50-60 years without the need for maintenance. The wood is sealed on both sides and torched to provide a layer of resistance to environmental factors such as sunlight, humidity, and water.
