We House / longwave studio

Miwa Negoro — Sat, 11 Jul 2026 21:00:00 +0000

Located in Tainan, Taiwan, this residence was designed for a family of three and their two cats. Rather than beginning with a formal concept, the project takes everyday domestic routines as its point of departure, reorganizing the relationships between arrival, storage, work, and shared family life.

Nachan the Antique Courtyard Hotel / PAVA architects

Pratik Mour — Sat, 11 Jul 2026 17:00:00 +0000

Nachan The Antique Courtyard Hotel is designed as a small-scale, tranquil village cluster that represents the serene spirit of the Mekong River landscape. Minimizing the hotel's footprint with reused timber is a design approach that subtly blends the project into the existing landscape. Respecting the existing trees, the hotel rooms are arranged around serene triangular courtyards, providing privacy and a humble touch to the Earth.

Leloir Studio Pavilion / FIR Estudio

Valentina Díaz — Sat, 11 Jul 2026 16:00:00 +0000

In a gated community within the Parque Leloir protected ecological area in Buenos Aires, Argentina, surrounded by a rich diversity of century-old tree species, we were commissioned to design a residential extension. As an intervention, we designed a pavilion that expands the existing home without altering it: a new space for work and leisure. The strategy was clear: rather than attaching to or intruding upon the built structure, we created a volume that links the front and the back through a single gesture.

Matita-Perê House / Matéria Base

Susanna Moreira — Sat, 11 Jul 2026 15:00:00 +0000

Nestled in the heart of the Mantiqueira Mountains, near the land of the "Werewolf," where the Matita-Perê whistles loudly, the house emerges from the earth itself. And like the earth, it takes shape as volume, space, and home. The brief called for a place to house a new life—a transitional point between the urban rush and a rural routine.

Muxarabi House / Ana Sawaia Arquitetura

Susanna Moreira — Sat, 11 Jul 2026 13:00:00 +0000

Designed by Vilanova Artigas in 1956, Muxarabi House is organized around a clear structural system and a precise spatial arrangement. A white rectangular volume elevated on pilotis is distributed across two levels defined by a regular reinforced concrete grid. On the upper floor, the bedrooms face northeast, benefiting from the gentle morning sun. A continuous veranda screened by muxarabis regulates light and heat throughout the day. On the ground floor, large glass panels establish a direct relationship between the interior spaces and the garden.

BBB House / Beczak / Beczak / Architekci

Nina Vuga — Sat, 11 Jul 2026 11:00:00 +0000

A house integrated with nature in the heart of Konstancin.

Ciutat Vella Apartment / Balzar Arquitectos

Cristina Popescu — Sat, 11 Jul 2026 09:00:00 +0000

Ciutat Vella Apartment is located in the historic heart of Valencia, a place that is not simply visited but discovered. Within a compact urban fabric, more than two thousand years of history coexist, where Roman, medieval, and modernist heritage blends seamlessly with contemporary life. Set within an 1890 building, the project embraces the challenge of preserving its historical identity while adapting it to modern living.

Architecture in the Andes: How Altitude Shapes Design Decisions

Daniela Andino — Sat, 11 Jul 2026 07:30:00 +0000

The Andes are often understood as a continuous mountain range, yet they encompass a wide range of climates and ecosystems. In Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Colombia, and Chile, páramos, dry highlands, temperate valleys, and snow-covered landscapes can exist within relatively short distances of one another. As elevation changes, so do temperature, solar radiation, humidity, wind, vegetation, and topography, producing environments that require different ways of building.

Tidsmaskinen After-School Center / BBP Arkitekter

Nina Vuga — Sat, 11 Jul 2026 06:01:00 +0000

Tidsmaskinen (The Time Machine) after-school center is an example of complementary architecture, consisting of three distinct buildings: a villa, a greenhouse and a tower, which together form a cohesive ensemble despite 100-year age difference between them.
The villa, built in 1918 for the school's headmaster, has been joined by a new tower that draws inspiration from the site's existing architectural heritage, yet introduces a new typology to the area.
The garden is based on the headmaster's old garden plan but adds some small hills to the otherwise flat Amager, encouraging the children to play in the garden.

Yanlord Arcadia Sunken Garden —— Lacy Steps / TROP : terrains + open space

韩爽 - HAN Shuang — Sat, 11 Jul 2026 02:00:00 +0000

Yanlord Arcadia is conceived around the philosophy of a "Garden within Gardens," where a sequence of themed landscapes creates an ever-changing dialogue between nature, architecture, and daily life. As the spatial prelude to the community, Lacy Steps connects the main lobby, residential towers, and clubhouse, transforming a circulation space into a welcoming social destination.

Arriaga Linear Park / Laboratorio Regional de Arquitectura

Valentina Díaz — Fri, 10 Jul 2026 19:00:00 +0000

A public space that reconnects regional mobility with local life - As part of the "Interoceanic Railway" project, an initiative by the Mexican Government to connect the country's southeastern region, the Secretariat of the Navy undertook the construction and renovation of railway infrastructure. This effort ranged from laying new tracks to designing the stations and the public spaces surrounding them.

DRP House / Jacobsen Arquitetura

Andreas Luco — Fri, 10 Jul 2026 17:00:00 +0000

Located on the countryside of São Paulo, the DRP House is not easily perceived by those walking on the street. First there’s the sky, a blue canvas with streaks of clouds bathed in the late afternoon light. Then there’s the horizon, with its distant mountain range marking the end of the landscape. Finally, only a keen eye notices the two planes, crossed almost perpendicularly, forming the roof of a house.

CCE House / ONA - Oficina Nómada de Arquitectura

Valentina Díaz — Fri, 10 Jul 2026 15:00:00 +0000

Site - The project is located in Chacras de Coria, Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza, in a semi-urban environment of low-rise housing, vineyards, and poplars that defines the cultural landscape of the foothills of Greater Mendoza. The 1,830 sq ft (170 m²) single-story house stems from the desire to create an introverted refuge that dialogues with its context through a logic of containment and controlled openness.

Ascendente House / TETRO Arquitetura

Susanna Moreira — Fri, 10 Jul 2026 13:00:00 +0000

The Ascendente House was conceived from a reading of the voids between existing trees, adopting an approach of careful insertion and preservation. Its massing is organized in levels that follow the site, establishing a clear hierarchy between social, private, and service areas, while keeping the house continuously connected to the garden and vegetation.

Zdar Wooden Housing / Kuba & Pilař architekti

Andreas Luco — Fri, 10 Jul 2026 12:00:00 +0000

The construction site is part of the Klafar area in the northwest of the city. The urban layout of the apartment buildings is based on the principle of a traditional city block, which defines a hierarchy and character of spaces—from public street areas, through semi-private courtyards, to private front gardens. The proposed block forms the corner of Sázavská and K Milířům streets. The spatial arrangement of the buildings creates a semi-public courtyard oriented to the south, while leisure areas with vegetation are located in the western part of the site.

Panoší Újezd Summer House / Lenka Milerová architektka

Andreas Luco — Fri, 10 Jul 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Mrs. F. owned a large house in the village of Panoší Újezd. It had become too big for her, so she decided to keep only the old pigsty and a small patch of garden from the entire property, which she wanted to convert into a summer home. The building was in a disastrous state.

Growing Knowledge in Wood: 10 Timber Pavilion Experiments from the Classroom

Miwa Negoro — Fri, 10 Jul 2026 07:30:00 +0000

Wood is among architecture's oldest and most familiar materials, yet its contemporary use raises complex questions about environmental impact, resource availability, material provenance, and circularity in relation to local economies. At the same time, advances in computational design, CNC machining, and robotic fabrication are also reshaping how timber is designed and assembled, opening new possibilities for structural innovation and formal expression while redefining the balance between automation, labor, and efficiency.

Villa CROCODILE / LOCALARCHITECTURE

Nina Vuga — Fri, 10 Jul 2026 07:00:00 +0000

Following the completion of the new Swiss Embassy in Ivory Coast in 2016, LOCALARCHITECTURE continues its work in Abidjan with the Swiss Embassy Deputy Chief of Mission Residence. The project responds to a dual role as it is conceived both as a family house and a reception area to serve the diplomatic objectives of the Swiss delegation.

How Architects Can Simplify Project Workflows Beyond CAD and BIM

Kiana Buchberger — Fri, 10 Jul 2026 06:45:00 +0000

Architecture project information does not live only in CAD or BIM software. Design briefs, drawing PDFs, contracts, quotations, site reports, approval files, and project specifications are often the documents that teams open, revise, send, and confirm every day.

The World's Largest Cities in 2026 by Population

Reyyan Dogan — Fri, 10 Jul 2026 06:30:00 +0000

Every year on July 11, World Population Day draws attention to the demographic trends reshaping societies around the globe. In 2026, the United Nations marks the occasion under the theme, "Realizing the Hopes and Aspirations of Young People – Today and for the Future," highlighting how young people's decisions about education, employment, housing, relationships, and family life are increasingly influenced by the cities they inhabit. Drawing on Lives, Choices and Futures, a global survey of more than 108,000 young adults across 73 countries, this year's campaign underscores the close relationship between demographic change and the social, economic, and spatial conditions of cities.

Design Hotels HQ / RHO

Nina Vuga — Fri, 10 Jul 2026 06:00:00 +0000

Design Hotels spent thirty years at one address before moving into the top floor of AXIS, a newly built volume rising from a former industrial site near Berlin's Ostkreuz. The site looks two ways at once, toward the water of the Rummelsburger Bucht and into the density of the city. Five meter ceilings and glazing on every side turn the floor into something closer to a loft than an office, a volume defined less by walls than by light.

MoMA Opens Architects of Liberation Exhibition on Independence-Era West African Modernism

Antonia Piñeiro — Fri, 10 Jul 2026 05:30:00 +0000
