Nestled in the historic center of Montuïri, Mallorca, Casa Periscopio by Luis Arredondo transforms a narrow, overlooked property into an architectural meditation on light, materiality, and vertical space. Although the project began with a deteriorated structure and a complex plot, it evolved into a bold and poetic intervention—one that embraces height, history, and simplicity.
Casa Loredo is the second project in the ongoing series New Vernacular Architecture of the Cantabrian Coast (NAVC), which aims to explore how regional building traditions can evolve to meet modern-day needs. Located in the coastal town of Loredo, this residence is a bold response to local heritage, strict planning regulations, and the ever-present natural forces of the Cantabrian Sea.
Sabater House sits among tall trees near the sea. Fran Silvestre Arquitectos designed a long, slim form that bends around each trunk. As the walls slide and turn, they build a chain of open courtyards. Therefore, every room meets fresh air and green views. The plan reads like garden paths, not a single block.
Villa 95 stands as a testament to modern architecture that harmonizes with nature. Located on an irregularly shaped plot in Altos de Valderrama, Sotogrande, the project maximizes the relationship between the home and its natural surroundings.

Mila House by Isla Architects is a creative transformation of a mid‑terrace home. Originally tucked between a small street and an alley, the project changed when the owners had the chance to purchase an adjacent plot. This long, narrow strip measures 25 meters by just 2.5 meters and was built edge to edge.
Designed by Serrano + Baquero Arquitectos, Pool with a House challenges the traditional concept of suburban homes where pools are merely an accessory. Instead, this project in Altos de la Zubia places water at the heart of the experience, integrating it directly into the living spaces.
