The Paddington Penthouse designed by The Unlisted Collective is a masterclass in luxurious living, set in the heart of Sydney’s prestigious Paddington. Completed in 2023, this transformative renovation elevates both functionality and aesthetics, redefining contemporary opulence. A key aspect of the project involved navigating the DA process to enclose an existing balcony, allowing for an expanded and reconfigured ensuite and walk-in robe. Photography by Pablo Veiga.

San Simón is a project designed by Vasconcelos Arquitectura. Located in the lush forest of San Simón el Alto, just 2.5 hours from Mexico City, this house redefines the concept of a family retreat in nature. Set on a 10,000 m2 plot surrounded by trees that reach up to 30 meters tall, the project is conceived as a reinterpretation of the traditional cabin, designed to disconnect from urban routines and foster a deep connection with nature and family.

Casa PI is a project designed by Benjamín Goñi Arquitectos, Claro + Westendarp Arquitectos. The site is located on the coastline and facing north with a view of the sea, which allows gathering the best sights and orientation in the same direction (uncommon situation in Chile).
Tanglewood is a project designed by ID Architecture. Nestled in the heart of Healing, this impressive Edwardian property hides a secret.
On approach to the house you will appreciate its impressive facade, the high deep-set porch and its mock Tudor panelling characterising the period but what you may not notice peeking at its side is a mysterious black box. Cloaked in black larch this box gives very little a way, it’s discrete, barely touching the original red facing brickwork of the house but where it does meet there is a slim, tall window adjoining a hidden door also finished in larch.

Residence in San Mateo is a project designed by Feldman Architecture. After purchasing a modest ranch house on a secluded corner lot in suburban San Mateo, the clients took note of what they loved about the existing home—it was unassuming, private, and nestled into a property lush with trees and native landscaping. The couple (she’s Head of Sustainable Design for Google Hardware), was well versed in the design process and wanted to collaborate with an architectural and interiors studio on a renovation that preserved as much as possible of the existing home while seamlessly connecting updated indoor spaces to inviting, protected outdoor living and dining areas. As a response, the design combines crisp geometries with a natural material palette, framing dramatic views of majestic oaks and thoughtful landscaping. Photography by Adam Rouse.

Peconic Bay Residence is a project designed by Christopher Jeffrey Architects. Overlooking the Peconic Bay, the wooded north facing site has tremendous views of the water and falls 40’ to the wetlands below. The program for the project was to create a compound that included a 1,500 s.f. single story house “pavilion” and a 400 s.f. pool-house with an in-ground pool with surrounding grade deck. A stand of existing holly trees covers the approach to the entry of the house where 5 long poured concrete walls set the building into the landscape, allowing for the slope of the property to visually extend thru the house’s interior.

The Break Residence is a project designed by MU Architecture. Built on the shore of Lake Revdor in the Laurentians, the Break Residence reveals its different faces depending on whether it is discovered from the water or the ground. Encapsulating the idea of “home”, this luxurious residence aids in fulfilling a man’s wish to build his final home on the land of his ancestors. Opening itself up over three levels, this spacious home serves as a place of welcoming and gathering for the small community formed by the few neighboring houses.

Oak Forest is a project designed by AODA Design. While getting to know the clients and discussing their needs, we deeply felt the warmth of their family and the intimacy of their lifestyle. They also strongly appreciate the richness that diverse colors bring to daily life, which inspired us to create a vibrant and engaging environment. As a result, we used warm wood veneer as the foundation for the overall material and color scheme, incorporating a deep emerald green that resonates with their love for nature. In the details, we selected stainless steel with a metallic luster, adding visual highlights and layers to the space while showcasing a harmonious blend of local Taiwanese characteristics with modern design elements.
