A RESIDENTIAL PROJECT CURATED DOWN TO THE LAST DETAILCase Leoni is the poolside loft of a private villa above Rivergaro, in Val Trebbia. The project, signed by VANDA in 2026, brings together interior design and residential landscape design in a single design narrative, curated down to the last detail across both the indoor spaces and the outdoor area. A MONOCHROME BOX WITH DARK WOOD ACCENTSThe interiors take shape as a monochrome box, enriched with dark wood accents and custom-made furniture in every element. A continuous line indeed connects the bed to the surrounding furniture, which thus becomes a storage bench overlooking the void of the living room, then a make-up vanity, and finally a walk-in closet. Similarly, the staircase connects... More

Rize Industrial Park rethinks the conventional logistics campus outside Guadalajara by transforming its main entrance into a landscaped corporate and community hub. Rather than treating access as a purely operational threshold, FORMM organized the arrival sequence as a compound where security, shared amenities and administrative spaces establish a strong identity for the development. FORMM Creative Group The landscape strategy is central to the project. Generous planted areas improve the daily experience of workers while helping reduce dust generated by truck movement and offsetting part of the site’s environmental impact. Shaded spaces and common areas create places for rest and informal interaction within an otherwise highly f... More

The residence is located in Mochlos, eastern Crete, set against the dramatic terrain of the Sitia Mountains and opening towards the sea. It is the first completed residence within an overall design for three independent villas. Comprising approximately 150 sq.m. of interior space, this first residence was completed in 2024, while the two additional villas are planned to be realised at a later stage. The distinctive topography of the site became a key parameter of the overall design composition.  The form of the building, its materiality and the design of the surrounding outdoor environment were developed to allow the residence to sit naturally within the rocky Cretan landscape while maintaining a continuous relationship with both...

Situated amidst a primly manicured 45 perch land, set away from the urbanized city of Colombo is the open space Garden Pavilion. The built footprint consists of an open living, dining, and pantry area with encapsulating views overlooking the luscious garden, whilst the glass-enclosed bedroom is provided with scenic views of the slender lap pool and the green backdrop. The expansive open-air living and dining spaces are curated to optimize the scenic views of the garden, whilst the body of water that spreads the length of the pavilion further enhances the picturesque setting.

Xiangchun (toona sinensis) holds a unique significance in the lives of people in Shandong, China, symbolizing nostalgia and regional culture. Often rain-grown, its seeds drift with the wind. Due of their intense spring aroma, it becomes a key ingredient for "tasting the spring." In the valley of Zibo City, Shandong, four Xiangchun seeds once took root and grew beside a solitary rock, eventually transforming into four large trees encircling the rock. They witness the natural succession and have become symbols carrying local memory and emotion, forming the core and narrative starting point for the "Circle Pit" installation. Studio Clash Studio Clash "Circle Pit" was created for spontaneous activities. Its name draws inspiration fro... More

The Sibeliuspark in Oss has been transformed from a neglected, underutilized green space into a welcoming, lively, and diverse 25-hectare urban park. Designed by KCAP as landscape architect, the project features a nature-inclusive, climate-adaptive environment that integrates over 400 new trees, diverse programming for all ages, and integrated housing developments. The Urban Ox Park, featuring a skatepark, pumptrack, and calisthenics park, now serves as the beating heart of the renewed Sibeliuspark. ©Aiste Rakauskaite Project Highlights- 25-hectare transformation of a neglected park into a vibrant, nature-inclusive urban destination- Over 400 new trees create diverse habitats supporting birds, bats, bees, butterflies, and amphibi...

The Cape San Juan residence overlooks the waters of the sound from a rare undeveloped waterfront lot with direct beach access. Gently sloping north toward the shoreline, the site offered expansive views as well as challenges of exposure and proximity to neighboring homes on either side. The design takes advantage of view corridors and solar orientation, while creating privacy from nearby neighbors; resulting in house that feels simultaneously sheltered and open. Andrew Pogue Photography Andrew Pogue Photography The architectural diagram is conceptualized as a protective “shell.” Along the east and west edges, more solid walls shield the interior spaces from adjacent properties. To the north and south, the structure op... More

Designed by Konstantinos Pittsas and KP Office, Pezoules House is conceived as a direct dialogue with its natural setting. Located on a steep and narrow plot, the residence responds closely to the terrain, orientation, and surrounding landscape, using architecture to frame and intensify the experience of the site rather than dominate it. The project’s sustainability strategy is grounded in minimal landscape intervention, passive environmental responsiveness, and the use of locally sourced materials that reinforce the connection between building and terrain.

Situated on the Gulf of Finland, this waterfront residence combines minimalist architecture with traditional Tudor elements. The property spans 2 491 m² and includes two buildings: the main house and a guest house with an integrated staff annex and garage. A winter garden connects the two structures, creating a green oasis that softens the sharp geometry and adds a sense of harmony to the composition. SNOB Architects SNOB Architects The design emphasizes natural materials – wood, stone, and thatch – chosen for their aesthetic quality, durability, and environmental friendliness. The thatched roof required a specialized drainage system and contributes both character and sustainability to the design. Large panoramic... More

Set within the dramatic cool-climate environment of the Blue Mountains, this landscape design project was designed to create a seamless transition between a contemporary mid-century inspired home and the surrounding native bushland. The clients envisioned a garden that felt intrinsically connected to the landscape—where curated plantings met the wild edges of the adjoining bush and where native species blended effortlessly into the designed spaces. An Evolving, Site-Responsive Design From the outset, the clients chose to live in the home for several years before committing to a full design, allowing the garden to evolve organically. This collaborative, long-term approach proved invaluable. Observing the site through multiple seasons... More

When the client moved into this overgrown and neglected property in Blackheath in the Blue Mountains, their vision was clear: create a striking garden with strong street presence, improved light, and functional off-street parking. The site offered great potential but required substantial rethinking to open the landscape, invite sunlight into the front yard, and enhance access throughout the steeply sloped block. Terry Burns A Design Shaped by Elevation and Movement The natural elevation of the home meant steps would be a defining feature of the landscape design. Instead of disguising the grade change, the design embraces it—celebrating movement through a series of landings, small sitting areas, and gentle directional shifts tha... More

Nirvana Garden is one of the most insane projects we have ever participated in. Its uniqueness also stems from the fact that the owner is a couple of imaginative artists, Zhang Huan and Hu Junjun. Under the leadership and persistence of them, we abandoned our experience and attempted areas and actions that were impossible to reach in previous projects. In the vast world, be the bold and reckless existence, face immense uncertainty, adapt to rapid direction reversal, loss of control, overturning, and reconstruction.  Chen Hao Chen Hao Chen Hao Chen Hao Chen Hao Location:ShanghaiProject Size: Approx. 3000 square metersDesigners: Kang Heng, Tang Yang, Wang YutongProject Scope: Conceptual Design, Construction Draw...
