Plutarco have never been a studio to whisper. Villa 2030 is co-founder Enrique Ventosa's own Madrid home, stripped back and reorganised around a T-shaped wall of glass blocks. It takes the grand villas of the 1930s—Maison de Verre, Villa Necchi, Villa E-1027—and rebuilds them into an Exquisite Co**se. What lands hardest is the discipline beneath the exuberance: every colour, texture and reference calibrated rather than piled on. https://bit.ly/4gTesGB

A philosophy of furniture-as-architecture is easy to write and considerably harder to detail. Bonaldo's 26 Collection holds up under inspection: sofas that organise sightlines, tables built on asymmetry, beds where the headboard is the structure. https://bit.ly/4xg0lBp

For most of the last century, architecture in Bosnia was something that happened to public buildings—admired from the footpath, and separate from how people lived at home. Which is what makes this Sarajevo apartment feel all the more radical. Inside an Austro-Hungarian-era courtyard block, a 100-square-metre retrofit for a young family turns on a prefabricated Tree House in locally sourced glue-laminated spruce—an early education in what wood, craft and care can do, in a country still rebuilding. https://bit.ly/4xeoCHZ

Akin Atelier has been shaping Bassike's retail identity for over a decade. The brand's new Byron Bay store shows what that kind of continuity actually buys you. https://bit.ly/3Ss3EqS

Is this outer space or red earth Australia? Familiar or futuristic? At Mecca Coffee Foley Street, Matt Woods made a room that declines to define itself. Part Coober Pedy dugout, part moon landing, entirely cocooned beneath Darlinghurst. Research into the building's heritage fabric, Indigenous vernacular architecture and the subterranean dwellings did the groundwork. Atmosphere did the rest. https://bit.ly/463Pqzx

Not a fair. Not a festival. Budiman Ong calls Jia Curated a creative evolving ecosystem, and after a few days on a beach in Sanur, that's the only description that fits.
Dana Tomić Hughes reports from Bali on the fifth edition of Jia Curated—250-odd brands, a bamboo stage standing in the tide, Peter Stutchbury closing the event barefoot, and a theory about comfort that turns out to be the sharpest commercial thinking out there.

Most workplaces are built to perform—a client to impress, talent to attract, a brand to broadcast behind reception. A family office carries none of those obligations. Studio May's East Melbourne project sits closer to a private members' club than an office, with a palette that leans hard into permanence. https://bit.ly/3SHgWj7

When your client is a working sculptor, why not build the house like one? Madeleine Blanchfield Architects' latest project distils a Sydney home to its essential expression, carving raw brick, concrete and oak into a hillside site above Bronte Gully. Every surface is structural, every service hidden, and every material chosen for how honestly it ages. https://bit.ly/4fTLjKY
