At Victoria Road in Alexandra Palace, Zminkowska De Boise Architects have replaced a cold, poorly insulated side-return extension with a crafted, split-level addition that rethinks the relationship between kitchen, living spaces and garden. What was once a narrow, dark galley kitchen squeezed between brick walls is now a warm, spatially efficient sequence of rooms defined by natural materials, carefully controlled daylight and close attention to proportion and detail. The existing house – a three-storey Edwardian terrace – had long suffered from a rear extension that did little to support contemporary family life. Only 1.7 metres wide, with a bituminous felt roof, single-glazed doors and a plastic rooflight, it was perpetually... More

In the quiet streets surrounding London’s Alexandra Palace, Zminkowska De Boise Architects has transformed a modest Edwardian mid-terrace through a carefully considered 16 sqm rear extension and wider reworking of the family home. Designed around the daily lives of Claire and Andrew and their two young sons, the project uses colour, exposed structure, natural materials and improved visual connections to turn a previously cramped and disconnected ground floor into a generous, light-filled sequence of spaces. Martina Ferrera Claire and Andrew bought the house in 2018 and lived in it largely unchanged for five years before beginning the project. That period gave the family a detailed understanding of how the existing spaces worked... More

Stack & Field is a small but generous extension of a 100-year-old weatherboard house on a tight inner-city block in Melbourne, Australia. It challenges a fundamental assumption of compact urban housing: that density requires consolidation. Located on a constrained and narrow site, the project plan dissolves layout and building form into a series of offset planes, layered rooms and courtyards and substitutes size for spatial richness. Timothy Kaye Timothy Kaye In all our projects we always prioritize the plan, and the fragmented massing is not aesthetic gesture but a primary design strategy. By breaking the building into volumes of varying scale, each zone is calibrated to its function, its relationship to adjacent spaces, and... More

P Home by Studio Krubka is a mixed-use architecture and interior design project that merges rental offices, a private office, and a residence within a 400 sq.m. urban site in Bangkok. The brief called for ground-level parking with separate entries for office and home, office spaces on the second floor and mezzanine, and the residence on the upper levels, including a music rehearsal room and fitness area. Weerapon Singnoi Weerapon Singnoi The core design challenge was integrating these varied functions within strict height and area limitations. The architects employed a flat-slab, wall-bearing structure that eliminates beams, fostering vertical openness and flexible spatial organization. The building’s primary material&mdash... More

What was once a conventional four-BHK has been gracefully reimagined into a generous three-BHK residence — one that prioritizes spatial poetry over excess, character over conformity. This is not merely a redesign; it is a narrative of transformation, where timeless neo-classical elements quietly converse with the ease and openness of contemporary sensibilities. The Matter Studio The Matter Studio From the very first moment, the entrance passage announces the home’s intention: calm, composed, and deeply curated. A sculptural ceiling installation orchestrates a rhythm overhead, while richly toned flooring grounds the experience below. Along the walls, a mist-laden forest mural becomes more than a backdrop — it is... More

Rooted in a traditional setting, beachside creates the appearance of a traditional home from afar, with a very contemporary spin. The gabled forms and familiar door and window openings respond to the regional and historic precedent of the area, however the fiber cement siding, zinc roof and steel sash windows announce the present. Paúl Rivera Paúl Rivera Programmatically, it is a series of four gabled forms containing shared public spaces below and bedrooms above, linked by a central glass arcade made up of large full height windows and doors.

This project involved reimagining a 200m2 1950s dormer bungalow as a contemporary fami­ly home. Due to its age and exposed location overlooking the sea, the house required signifi­cant upgrades. Our clients, who had returned to Ireland with their three young children after living abroad for several years, had a strong emotion­al connection to the house, as it had originally been owned by their grandparents. This con­nection formed a core part of the brief from the outset. Fionn McCann We were formally engaged by our clients in early 2020 and presented our initial designs in March of that year - just before the world changed. Like many of our projects at the time, work was paused for about six months as our clients asse... More

A house for a young couple with a yoga studio is situated in the Ljubljana Barje, marshes on the outskirts of the capital. This suburban location is characterized by pronounced horizontality and a blend of scattered buildings and meadows. Urban Petranovič Urban Petranovič Urban Petranovič The elongated shape of the house derives from the shape of the plot, and its single-story design is due to the low bearing capacity of the marshy soil. The house is positioned in such a way that it divides the plot into an accessible northern part and a private garden area to the south, which it completes together with the existing house. Urban Petranovič Urban Petranovič The rooms are arranged in sequence and slightly offset fro... More
