Omloop Farmhouse, Belgium, by Hé!
Architecture studio Hé! inserted a glazed timber and metal volume into the roof of a traditional Flemish home in Belgium to create a living space on its upper floor.
Surrounded by a hilly landscape, the renovation to the home was designed to improve its connection with nature and establish a more compact internal layout.

Mygunyah by the Circus, Australia, Matt Gibson Architecture + Design
Australian studio Matt Gibson Architecture + Design added two contrasting brick extensions to a 19th-century terraced house in Melbourne to create a home named Mygunyah by the Circus.
Both of the extensions were informed by Arts and Crafts-style architecture and were added to the long, narrow home in North Fitzroy to enlarge the house to better accommodate a family of seven.

Horsö, Sweden, Bross and Nick Flygt
Named Horsö, this minimalist summer house was finished in untreated wood to complement its woodland surroundings in Kalmar, Sweden.
The house was designed by Bross and Nick Flygt to have expansive views while having a "low-key presence" that disrupts the natural surroundings as little as possible.
Italian architecture practice Solum created a narrow alleyway that winds between the monolithic, blocky volumes as the entrance to this house in Sicily.
Located on a coastal site, the studio aimed to contrast the open views of the sea at one end of the home with "labyrinthine" spaces at the other.
