À la Blanc Apartment stands out through soft white shades that cultivate a sense of calm and refinement. Tall ceilings create inviting voids where natural light and reflections abound. Meanwhile, mirrors amplify the feeling of depth, offering an illusion of boundless expansion.
Originally, the home was a 1960s detached house in Crystal Palace, situated at the end of a leafy cul-de-sac. It stood among mature trees and close neighbors. Although the family needed more space as they grew, the existing house was narrow, had low ceilings, and felt cramped. It also lacked a true connection to the outdoors.
A family estate to be inherited by the children – this is how one can characterize this dream house surrounded by centuries-old pine trees. Nothing here breaks the harmony with the surrounding space, so the main idea of the project was integrity and barrier-free: an open terrace, panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, natural colors and textures create a feeling of complete unity with nature.
Red Rock House is a sculpture in dialogue with its surroundings—a tacit acknowledgment that the desert grants no free passes. Here, architecture and environment fuse into a kind of equilibrium: the mass of concrete and steel, the careful harnessing of wind and sun, the silent acknowledgment of a harsh yet magnificent landscape.
From the street, House of the Elements seems like a typical late-19th-century London terrace. Yet behind its traditional Victorian facade lies a transformed interior that feels more like a calming sanctuary than a city home. Designed by Neil Dusheiko Architects for a young professional couple, this project embraces a spa-like atmosphere, open space, and close connections to nature.
From a distance, Full House by WARchitect appears to be a single, serene white structure. Yet behind its sculpted gable façade lie two distinct residences bound by family ties rather than physical barriers. Inside these walls, an extended clan—grandparents, siblings, spouses, and children—coexists under one gracefully unified roof.
A 144 m² apartment, a residence of clients located in São Paulo, gained a new look after a complete renovation by Consuelo Jorge Arquitetos.

Designer Zhang Ling’s latest project, the Youshan Meidi Villa in Beijing, offers its inhabitants a seamless connection to the surrounding landscape within an atmosphere of calm tranquility.
