Pritzker Architecture Prize-winning architect Diébédo Francis Kéré and creative director Nachson Mimran designed a residential complex drawing on Swiss and African design traditions.

Commenters hotly debated the home, with one describing it as "unexpected yet very beautiful", while another agreed, noting it's "rare that such taste coincides with such wealth".

Other stories in this week's newsletter that fired up the comments section included designer Tim Fu’s plans for a housing development in Slovenia created with AI, a redesigned map of New York's subway system and a toolkit that converts compost into paint developed by Virginia tech designers.
