Beside Jiangxia Lake in Chengdu, China, the Main Pavilion of the International Horticultural Exhibition 2024 Chengdu by CSWADI, completed in 2024, is designed as the event’s core building and future civic cultural centre. 🌿 Rather than forming a single dominant mass, the pavilion embeds much of its 23,000-square-metre programme into the shallow valley, creating layered viewing platforms along the waterfront. A flowing roof links the volumes and draws from the Sanxingdui ‘Divine Bird’, while the ginkgo-inspired canopy references Chengdu’s city tree. 🍃 Natural ventilation, daylighting, lake-cooled breezes, and permeable landscaping support a careful environmental strategy. 🌊

At the edge of a reservoir in Itaúna, Brazil, Dam House by Bernardes Arquitetura @bernardesarq , completed in 2024, opens domestic life toward water, sky, and vegetation with a quiet horizontal presence. 🌿 A generous wooden roof guides arrival and frames the horizon, organising circulation between two lateral pavilions. Social areas occupy one side, while suites are placed on the other, creating a clear and balanced plan. Pivoting wooden panels define the façade, working as brise-soleils that adjust light, privacy, and views. 🌊 Concrete, steel, and timber support large spans and a flexible layout, while the restrained material palette allows the landscape to remain central. ☀

Set within the Ramhan Island development in Abu Dhabi, the UAE’s first luxury floating villas by MASK architects @maskarchitects , designed in 2024 for completion in 2029, are conceived as waterfront residences connected to the wider Sand Island master plan. 🌊 Located within the Ritz-Carlton Reserve setting, the project combines 50 floating villas with shared lounges, beaches, water activities, dining areas, and pedestrian routes. The villas use open layouts, terraces, private infinity pools, and full-height glazing to strengthen the relationship between interior life and the sea. 🛥 Butterfly-inspired canopies provide shade across communal areas, while natural light, ventilation, and eco-conscious materials support the project’s environmental strategy. 🌿

Inside Palazzo Capponi on Via di Ripetta, Hotel Romeo Roma @theromeocollection_ by Zaha Hadid Architects @zahahadidarchitects in Italy, transforms a historic building into a layered dialogue between Roman heritage and contemporary interior form. 🏛 The project draws from the city’s vaulted ceilings, reinterpreting their intersections through fluid rooms, furniture, and circulation. Restored 17th-century frescoes coexist with new surfaces in marble, wood, brass, and engineered materials, while a carefully crafted inner skin conceals modern services without altering protected walls. ✨ Beneath the garden, a newly revealed Roman bottega adds another historic layer, visible below the swimming pool through glass. The hotel becomes a precise continuation of the palazzo’s long architectural reinvention. 🌙

On a busy arterial road in Jaipur, Magnus Office by Sanjay Puri Architects @sanjay_puri_architects , completed in 2025 in India, introduces a contemporary workplace shaped by climate and regional memory. 🌞 The western façade folds into opposing inclined volumes, forming shaded decks at each level while maintaining privacy between terraces. Perforated screens inspired by Rajasthani jaali traditions wrap the building, filtering heat and light while giving the offices a textured outer layer. 🌿 A planted buffer between screen and glazing reduces noise from the road and brings greenery to the perimeter. Fly ash bricks, recycled foam concrete, rainwater harvesting, water recycling, and rooftop solar panels support the building’s environmental strategy. 🏙

Across an existing residential community in Langfang, China, A Community Art Ecosystem in Practice by MINOR lab, completed in 2025, transforms three underused spaces into a connected cultural network. 🏙 An ancillary building becomes a flexible art centre with movable walls, adaptable exhibition surfaces, and modular furniture for workshops, screenings, and events. Nearby, a community café extends the same strategy, turning existing elements into layered social spaces. ☕ A converted residential unit functions as an artist studio, using sliding walls and adjustable blinds to balance work, living, storage, light, and privacy. The project shows how light-touch renewal can activate public life within everyday neighbourhoods. 🌿

Perched above a rocky cape in Agios Georgios, Greece, Toward the Sun Summerhouse by Tassos Biris – Sofia Tsiraki & Associate Architects @biris_tsiraki_architects , completed in 2025, is organised by two intersecting axes that anchor the dwelling to landscape and light. 🌊 The cross-shaped geometry directs movement from entrance to sea and frames views toward Despotiko and the Aegean horizon. Stone volumes form private wings and a tower, enclosing a central living space that recalls a sheltered courtyard while opening westward through large glazing. 🪨 A folded roof follows the slope, integrating skylights and reinforcing continuity with the terrain. Local stone, steel, and timber define a tactile palette balancing archaic references with contemporary form. 🌞

Within only 37 square metres in Bangkok, Resmile Dental Wellness by space+craft @spacecraft.bkk , completed in 2025 in Thailand, reconsiders the dental clinic as a setting for calm rather than tension. 🦷 The project responds to strict clinical requirements through a continuous biomorphic language, using curved walls and flowing surfaces to reduce the sense of confinement. A high-contrast monochrome palette supports the futuristic character without distracting from function. ⚪ Every line is directed toward movement, hygiene, and patient comfort, proving that a compact healthcare interior can carry spatial clarity and emotional intention. The clinic turns constraint into a precise design strategy. 🌿

At the edge of land and sea in Busan, Wind Fence 2 by Hyunjoon Yoo + Partners @hyunjoon88 , completed in 2023 in South Korea, extends the earlier Wind Fence into a mixed programme of commercial spaces and a private residence. 🌊 Its concept draws from waves, sails, and the way wind becomes visible through movement. Curved exposed concrete forms the main façade, giving the building a stronger presence along the waterfront while continuing the language of the original project. ⛵ Clustered volumes create narrow in-between spaces and alley-like passages, increasing public interaction on the lower level while separating residential areas above. The result is a coastal structure shaped by wind, commerce, and domestic life. 🌬

Within the planted floodplain of the Birrarung in Melbourne, House in a Garden by Edition Office @editionoffice , completed in 2026 in Australia, is conceived as a family home held within foliage rather than placed before it. 🌿 Elevated living spaces sit among trees, while two wings separate shared areas from quieter rooms for retreat. Timber walls, batten screens, and framed glimpses shape an interior that feels open yet protected, with views softened by seasonal growth. 🌳 At ground level, structural supports create shaded pockets within the landscape, allowing paths and planting to move through the house. Solar systems, hydronic heating and cooling, and cross-ventilation reinforce its environmental connection. ☀
