Built into the base of a coastal cliff in Turkey, CLIFF VILLA is a 400 m² residence that treats architecture as a continuation of the landscape rather than an intrusion on it. Designed by NUTRO studio for a young couple seeking privacy and proximity to the sea, the three-bedroom home reveals itself gradually — first the rock, then the architecture emerging beneath its overhang. Caption Caption Caption Caption The façade balances two materials in dialogue: vertical pylons in natural Antolini stone and horizontal Corten steel roofing and canopies. The rust tone of the steel echoes the surrounding dry grasses and the cliffside, while the stone's veining visually ties the structure to the mountain itself.... More

Bel Air neighborhood has views of the Pacific Ocean and a wild, hilly landscape. Starting points in the neighborhood are certainly the Getty Museum and the upscale Beverly Hills neighborhood. You may also know the Bel Air neighborhood from the real estate market. It is home to “The One“, the most expensive property for sale in the US with a sale price of $300 million. And it is here, on top of one of the hills, in an ordinary neighbourhood with classic houses with red-brown roofs, that Arshia architects have placed a house with futuristic elements.

Monument House is a residential concept developed around a simple question: what happens when a home is organized around what is removed rather than what is added? Rather than beginning with accumulation, more rooms, more square footage, or more visual complexity, the project explores reduction as a spatial strategy. At its center is a void: an interior garden that acts not as a feature, but as the organizing principle for the entire residence. BLOU INK BLOU INK Every decision within Monument House is structured around this central condition. Circulation, views, privacy, light, and sequence are all shaped through the relationship between built form and absence. The result is a home designed around clarity rather than excess.... More

Located on a steep and rocky 2,500 m² plot, G House is conceived as a single-story compact dwelling, positioned on a partially leveled area previously intervened by former landowners. The untouched portions of the site have been preserved and shaped with a landscape design approach that prioritizes the site’s existing olive trees and natural topography. This sensitive integration not only reinforces the house’s harmony with its environment but also offers residents a living experience deeply connected to the landscape.

Set on a corner lot within Nordelta’s nautical neighborhood, El Yacht, this house is anchored in the uniqueness of its location: a rectangular plot with the opportunity to open its longest side toward the water.

Alejandro Peral Private spaces are located on the upper level, while the common areas occupy the ground floor, where large glazed panels open toward the water, integrating the interior with t...

This house in Poland is composed of two clearly distinct volumes that contrast deliberately in their materiality and height. A low, single-storey bar with a green roof and a warm red-brown brick cladding extends horizontally into the landscape, anchoring itself within the established vegetation of pines, grasses and boulders. A second, taller volume with dark metal cladding and a pitched roof complements the ensemble and introduces a vertical tension. The garden is carefully composed: stone gardens, water surfaces, ornamental grasses and a Japanese maple frame the exterior space and create a sequence of viewpoints around the house.
