Emotions

In Astana, a 1990s family cottage has been reimagined into a contemporary home that feels less like a renovation and more like a complete narrative reset. What once was a conventional suburban structure, marked by time and incremental alterations, is now a calibrated architectural organism designed for a large family whose life unfolds at multiple speeds at once. 

Perched atop one of Tiburon’s most precipitous ridges, Owyang House commands vistas that extend from the intricate town below to the distant skyline of San Francisco, the Golden Gate Bridge, and the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean. Commissioned by a family with deep roots in the Midwest and an existing pied-à-terre in San Francisco, the project represents the culmination of a long-held aspiration: “We dreamed of one day building a beautiful home overlooking the renowned bay,” 

In every ideal home, there is an effortless sense of belonging and familiarity; Lumen Residence in Athens embodies this with almost lyrical precision. It is not merely a living space but a meticulously orchestrated experience, a domestic laboratory reflecting the philosophy of Block722, the architecture and design studio behind it

In the sunlit Mediterranean, the architecture studio of Tatiana Novikova brought to life a project that moves beyond conventional design: a 400-square-meter villa in Paphos, conceived as a subtle dialogue with sea, stone, and wind. Each morning, the marine breeze drifts through its open volumes as though it already knows the way; each evening, sunlight lays its final golden brushstrokes across the façade, blurring the threshold between indoors and out.

The spaces designed by the Rome-based studio Ceccaroli Architettura are, first and foremost, places of emotions, where to build memories that last over time.
