GOLDENE ROSE by noa*: A kaleidoscope of the past. It is not unusual for adjoining buildings to become architecturally connected. But this project’s story is one of a kind: in the former imperial city of Dinkelsbühl, noa* has succeeded in giving different architectural identities, each with its own history and peculiarities, a common face.

Autumn in the North, a new project by Susanna Cots. A home without walls or doors that plays with distribution as a connection strategy. We are so used to living by the same patterns and the same rules, that we forget to listen to our instincts. And not only in making professional, personal or family decisions. But also, in creating a home. Photography by Mauricio Fuertes.

A couple approached Nathalie Scipioni Architects, with significant experience as building developers, to subdivide an existing lot and design two standalone dwellings. The site is north facing yet narrow; the clients engaged Nathalie Scipioni Architects to ensure that both properties received ample natural light throughout both dwellings. The brief and site required intelligent planning to maximise sun penetration and flexible living. The design mediated the desire to deliver a high-end light-filled dwelling with the need to stay within the client’s set budget for the project. Photography by Justin Macintosh.

A terrace on the park by Diego Revollo. With a breathtaking perspective of the Ibirapuera woods and monumental complex framed by the skyline of São Paulo, this 600m2 apartment. apartment already offered a visual spectacle in itself. Our challenge was, therefore, to transform it into a home for a couple and their child, emphasizing aspects of their contemporary lifestyle and specific personalities, seeking balanced refinement and enhancing such a privileged panorama of the city.

Pastel House is a project designed by CDA Architects. The rapid urbanisation of cities is constantly pushing people to reimagine their homes. This is evident in the growing inclination towards natural living. The Pastel House in Raipur is a similar intervention that takes a unique stance on ‘living with nature’. Designed for a family of medical practitioners with an affinity for the outdoors, the client’s design brief clearly emphasised the proximity to greens and abundant natural light, leading the architects to choose biophilic design as the defining design concept.

Photography by Eduardo Macarios.
