Buchanan Street Residence is a project designed by Richard Beard Architects and The Wiseman Group. Even among San Francisco’s extensive stock of legendary Victorian era homes, this historic residence is distinguished. Over several years of scrupulous planning and construction the house underwent a complete restructuring and received a brand new interior layout to accommodate a large family. The exteriors were repaired and preserved according to the Secretary of Interior Standards for the treatment for historic properties, giving a fresh and welcome look to this prominent corner of the neighborhood.

Located on a plot within the Brazilian Cerrado, the 7 Trees House, developed by the Hersen Mendes Arquitetura firm, was designed to integrate indoor and outdoor spaces, providing shelter without losing connection with the surroundings.
“We want to enter the house and feel as if we are stepping outside,” was the clients’ request. With this premise, the project was based on the natural vegetation of the land—especially the trees, which were mapped, preserved, and incorporated into the architectural design. The residence’s name honors the seven trees that guided its placement. Photography by Joana França.
Goenetxe Baserria is a project designed by BAT Architecture. Set amidst the lush rolling hills of Gipuzkoa, where serenity permeates the landscape, the historic Goenetxe farmhouse rises once again. This emblematic building, once a noble family residence, as evidenced by the original coat of arms still proudly displayed on its façade, and later repurposed as a livestock barn, has been reborn. Now, it stands as a refined dialogue between Basque tradition and the demands of contemporary life. Photography by Erlantz Biderbost.
