Yuelang Road Block Comprehensive Quality Enhancement / TJAD Original Design Studio

Yuelang Road is located in the core area of Qianjiang Century City, Hangzhou , surrounded by six high-density commercial and office towers. Before renewal, this approximately 330-meter internal street primarily served office commuting, garage access, temporary parking and building logistics. Motor vehicles, bicycles, pedestrians and loading activities competed within the limited road space, while the building frontage spaces on both sides were fragmented by fences, planting, level changes and varied paving. The result was a commercial-office backstreet dominated by movement,…

Ashjar Cafe / Studio Ahmed Aldossary

As Saudi Arabia's coffee culture continues to grow, cafés have become an important third place for many Saudis. Ashjar, meaning "trees" in Arabic, was conceived as a small urban escape within Riyadh , shaped by gardens, water, and shade.

Office 101 Casa Andina / Caliza Arquitectura

The intervention is located in the Laureles neighborhood of Medellín , inside a structure representative of the area's traditional residential architecture. In response to new urban dynamics, the building was adapted over time to host other uses—first a printing press and currently a coworking space for architecture firms. The project rehabilitates the house's former garage under the premise of adaptive reuse rather than a tabula rasa, transforming a storage and material holding area into a creative workspace that respects the…

House of People / DinellJohansson

Folkets Hus has been refurbished and restored with the care and attention it deserves. The original building architect was the excellent Kockum Luttinger Söderström. DinellJohansson won the competition for the interior design and sought to tread lightly, taking great care with Sven Markelius' masterful and wonderfully distinctive building.

Osmanthus Moon / HCCH Studio

Osmanthus Moon is a short-term public art installation created to celebrate the traditional Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival. It is a projection, specially as well as metaphorically, of the widely beloved traditional osmanthus pattern — a signature plant and flavor of autumn — and forms a dialogue with the action paintings of a folk "Zao Hua" (stove flower) artist, an intangible cultural heritage tradition.

Patina House / 182 DESIGN

Set within a quiet residential context, Patina House is conceived as an exploration of time through material. Rather than foregrounding form, the design allows materials, craft, and use to shape the experience of the home. The architecture settles into a composed stone envelope that weathers with exposure to the elements, while a curtain of hanging plants forms a living patina, softening the volume over time.

Pabellón El Eco 2020: Cronoboros / TANAT

Through the Manifesto of Emotional Architecture (published in 1953), Mathias Goeritz expressed a new form of architecture that goes beyond a logical and rational understanding of space, opening up the possibility of creating buildings capable of evoking deep sensations. As an exemplar of this architecture, Goeritz conceived the El Eco museum as an experiment liberated from classical standards and criteria such as symmetry, structural coherence, and even the way space is inhabited through a specific and unique function for each…

VyD Pavilion / ENNE Arquitectura

In Argentina, a quincho is what we call the space where people gather to eat asados. This project is no exception, but it also serves as an excuse to colonize the back of a corner lot that hosts a single-family home. The architectural typology of the pre-existing house, more suited to a mid-block lot, had deepened the neglect of this empty space, turning it into a "non-place." We took advantage of the commission for the quincho to try to reverse…

Vila Marebo / Frederico Zanelato | Arquitetos

The design of Vila Marebo, in southern Bahia, was born from the invitation of a long-time partner. The premise was clear: to create two independent blocks connected by a footbridge and a generous pergola. More than a residence, the proposal was to conceive a true village that embraces the lot. This fluid zoning encourages encounters, conversations, and leisure, transforming the pathways and surrounding spaces into environments of pure warmth and sensory experience.

casa POP / gon architects

Casa POP is based on the premise that there is no such thing as a standard user, and therefore architecture must adapt to unique ways of living. The original home, a 78 m² apartment located in Vicálvaro, was built in the 2000s under the rigid standards of the traditional nuclear family, resulting in a highly compartmentalized layout full of hallways. This distribution was obsolete for its owners, Santiago and Ángel, a couple whose lives revolve around enjoyment, knowledge, and culture.

Imbriani – Renovation of Two Apartments in Milan / co.arch studio

The project transforms two small early 20th-century apartments in Milan's Bovisa district, organized around a shared threshold. This threshold became the conceptual starting point of the intervention: a spatial device that separates and connects two distinct domestic identities, expressed immediately through two contrasting chromatic atmospheres—terra red and matcha green.

Cabins at the Tip, Sunny Lakes, Senec / ER Atelier

The project of two recreational buildings at the tip of Sunny Lakes in Senec approaches two separate structures as a single architectural and landscape composition. Located on a prominent waterfront peninsula, the site is characterized by an unregulated mixture of recreational buildings from different periods and architectural styles. Rather than introducing another isolated expression, the proposal seeks to redefine the entire tip through a unified architectural language, while preserving the memory of the site and strengthening its relationship with the…

The Full Moon / SHISUO design office

Invited by the Power Station of Art (PSA), SHISUO Design Office has unveiled "The Full Moon" an urban public art installation celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival in Shanghai . The installation was realized in collaboration with Shi Qinling, a Shanghai-style paper-cutting inheritor, and is themed around the moon, rabbits, and the art of paper-cutting. Across various cultures, the rabbit holds a unique place in the human imagination as one of the few animal figures beloved by all. In China's classical Mid-Autumn…

PH Olaguer / CDC ARQ

Rather than adding elements, the project proposes concentrating functions to free up space. Spatial continuity, the connection to the courtyard, and a single, continuous piece of millwork that guides the journey create a small yet spatially generous home, where architecture serves as a tool for spatial organization.

Residência em Campos do Jordão / Gil Mello Arquitetura

The presented project is the result of a complete renovation, based on the premise of reusing the existing perimeter walls, foundations and slabs. This design strategy aimed to optimize resources and execution time, made possible by a feasibility study that confirmed the capacity of the existing structure to accommodate the new program of needs.

Villas Raices / Vince Studio

Villas Raíces was born from the intention of inhabiting the mountain with the least possible impact, allowing the architecture to adapt to the terrain and not the other way around.

Jeronimo Faria Lima Building / Perkins&Will São Paulo

At one of S o Paulo s most emblematic corners where the intensity of Brigadeiro Faria Lima Avenue meets the walkable scale of Jeronimo da Veiga Street Jeronimo Faria Lima does not seek to assert itself through height, form, or presence in the skyline alone. The project is guided by a deeper ambition: to make the encounter between architecture and the city a fundamental part of the experience.

Light Through the Wall: Indian House Interiors Shaped by Brick Jali

A brick façade does more than define the façade of a house. When designed as a porous screen, it becomes an intermediary between inside and outside, shaping the atmosphere and environmental conditions of the spaces behind it. Across contemporary Indian residential architecture, brick jali — a perforated or lattice brick screen — has been reinterpreted with a contemporary sensibility, drawing on vernacular architectural elements.

Résidence Lourmel / MARS Architectes

Built on a former parking ramp, the Lourmel student housing is conceived as an intermediate figure between the existing buildings and the central garden. Rather than creating a continuous volume, it is divided into four slightly offset blocks. Their shifts and rotations respond to constraints of distance, views and privacy, while opening diagonal perspectives, improving daylight and strengthening connections to the landscape. The volumes gradually recede towards the center of the block, creating a more porous relationship with the street.…

V Penthouse / Merckx-Holvoet Architects

Upon entering this apartment, one experiences a design centered on complete rest, with no room for the pressures of daily life. The architects sought an interior that envelops without overwhelming, one that reveals itself slowly rather than all at once. The design centers on poetry and refinement, built around a reduced palette of materials and colors. The intent was to find a threshold of subtlety, a kind of sophistication that does not assert itself but unfolds gradually.

Designed for Walking: 6 Unbuilt Projects for Pedestrian Movement from the ArchDaily Community

Some urban experiences are etched into our memory through a shift in pace. The postmodern city has often been described as an experience lived at the rhythm of motorized mobility, in contrast to the stroll, the promenade , or even the processions that preceded it. In a fast-paced urban culture, walkability is championed in urban planning not only as a factor of safety and social cohesion, but also as a path to a more sensory way of life. This selection…

House of Emptiness / IGArchitects

Form Follows Fiction: Six Inquiries

Form Follows Fiction: Six Inquiries brings together six architectural projects that challenge one of architecture's most enduring assumptions: that form follows function. Examining work by six international architects, the exhibition — part of the main program of the 20th Buenos Aires Architecture Biennial — reveals how architecture can emerge from diverse, and often contradictory, narratives and ideas: pragmatic and artistic, collective and individual, pure and complex, restrained and expressive, structured and intuitive, logical and arbitrary. Together, these positions resist any…

Terràvue Residence / Fictive Architects

In the culturally steeped landscape of Thanjavur , Terràvué emerges as a 5,565-square-foot manifesto on sustainable luxury. Designed for a corner plot bounded by roads on the north and west, the residence is a masterclass in climatic response and material honesty. Far from the sterile aesthetic of imported marble and synthetic paints, this home is grown from the earth it stands on, celebrating indigenous building techniques, passive cooling, and a radical commitment to upcycling.

Changbai Foothill Antler Restaurant / Origin Architect

Original Architecture's exploration of construction is based on an understanding of geography, climate, anthropological research, religious and cultural history, and the construction techniques of the Sushen people. Abandoning the universal construction model dominated by concrete, it continues the survival wisdom of ancestors in adapting to the local environment and embracing low-carbon and renewable, allowing the charm of lost ancient culture to reappear.

Berna House / Hiro Arquitectos

In Peruvian construction, brick masonry is rarely left exposed: it is built, plastered over, and disappears beneath the finish. Casa Berna begins by reversing this practice. The brick walls remain exposed, finished with a lime wash that lightens the surface without concealing it. Consequently, the bond, the joints, and the irregularities of the bricklaying remain visible on the entrance wall, the garden-facing facade, and in the living room. This is a constructive decision rather than a formal one, and it…
