The Barn is the latest project by NOA for the Apfelhotel Torgglerhof in Val Passiria. The space was conceived as a place where both hotel guests and external visitors can explore a curated selection of regional products—not displayed in a commercial layout, but rather arranged with the intimacy of a setting evoking a lived-in home. Located on the ground floor of a former barn, the intervention gives new life to a historical structure. Photography by Alex Filz.

i29 designs a home for a family of three generations. On the plot of an existing main residence, i29 architects designed a second, single-story home for senior residents. The 100 m² house is a carefully considered addition that respects the scale and context of the existing site. Its placement creates a natural relationship between the main and secondary dwellings, closely connected while respecting each other’s privacy. Since its completion, the grandparents have enjoyed being close to their children and grandchildren—and vice versa. Architecture and interior design are uniquely integrated into one cohesive living volume. Photography by Ewout Huibers.

Ravine House is a project designed by Rolf Ockert. Architect. This site is certainly one of the most unusual we have ever come across. There is no backyard. Instead a rocky ravine within the cliffs brings the Pacific Ocean right into its core. Photography by Mark Syke and Rolf Ockert. Architect.

Architect is conceived as two pavilions arranged on each side of a central courtyard.The front pavilion contains bedrooms and amenities.The rear pavilion, opening to the nature, contains a variety of living spaces and a large study.

This century-old Toronto Beaches home designed by Isabel Clune Design was in a state of severe disrepair when its owner acquired it. Recognizing the need for a full-scale renovation, we embraced the opportunity to reimagine this crumbling three-bedroom, two-bath residence into a striking and sophisticated bachelor pad, now boasting four bedrooms and three baths.
