.house is offering for sale this wonderfully preserved 17th-century farmhouse in Ringshall, Suffolk 🌿.

Thatched roofs here do more than protect from the weather, they hold centuries of memory. Reed and straw keep the interiors cool in summer, warm in winter, while their organic curves soften the home’s silhouette against the countryside.

Inside, timber beams and thick plaster walls echo with history, while garden views dissolve the boundary between house and nature. It’s architecture that shapes human rhythm, slowing time, grounding mornings in birdsong, and inviting evenings by the piano.

Scrubby Bay House
A secluded retreat carved into the wild beauty of Banks Peninsula, New Zealand.

Designed by , the timber and stone forms echo the rugged cliffs and rolling pastures, while vast panes of glass frame the ever-changing Pacific Ocean. The house feels at once protective and open-anchored by its monumental stone fireplace and softened by warm, tactile interiors.

An interplay of raw plaster walls, timeworn timber, and water’s quiet shimmer, Dixon House feels both sculpted and grown into place. Courtyards unfold like open-air rooms, where palms bend toward filtered light and pools double as pathways. Inside, the palette is pared back—textured neutrals, handcrafted vessels, and elemental forms—allowing shadow and stillness to shape the atmosphere. Here, architecture is less about enclosure and more about the gentle negotiation between earth, water, and air.

A Scarlet Haven in the Forest

In the quiet Mazovian village of Brok, just 1.5 hours from Warsaw, a bold red silhouette emerges from a sea of green pines. Designed by , this striking retreat redefines minimalism-pairing a crisp, geometric form with the warmth of a fully timber-clad interior.

Inside, light pours through circular and rectangular frames, dancing across golden wood surfaces and inviting slow moments: coffee at the long dining table, music spinning on a vintage turntable, or a quiet read in the lounge chairs. Outside, a matching pavilion with a perfect moon gate opens to nature, blurring the boundary between architecture and landscape.

Where walls dissolve into landscape and light becomes architecture.
These spaces are not designed to frame nature—they let nature write part of the plan.
From open-air courtyards to pivoting windows, every threshold blurs interior and exterior, creating rooms that breathe with the seasons.
Stone, timber, and glass are not just materials here—they’re conduits for shadow, texture, and stillness.
A study in restraint, proportion, and the quiet power of connection.

Whitewashed geometry, rich textures, and custom tilework bring a fresh take to traditional Andalusian style. Arched thresholds, sunlit interiors, and bold green accents create a space that feels both rooted and refreshingly current. A modern classic in the hills of southern
Spain.

In Ashulia, on the outskirts of Dhaka, the Zibon Nesa Mosque rises in pink concrete—a monolithic tribute from a factory owner to his late mother. Designed by and led by Singer Saiqa Iqbal Magna, the 563 sqm structure offers workers a sanctuary of stillness within a fast-growing industrial hub.

Conceived as a breathing pavilion, the mosque channels filtered light and airflow through thick, jaali-inspired walls, balancing spiritual calm with thermal comfort. Elevated on a high platform, echoing the vernacular bhiti houses of Bangladesh, it connects gardens, fountains, and a reflecting pond in a seamless dialogue between inside and out.

A low dome, semi-matte glass altar, and wide arched wall framing the water’s edge anchor the design—removing boundaries to let peace, restoration, and openness define the space.

At the gates of Ostuni stands Villa Lorans, a testament to three centuries of history and quiet grandeur. Established in 1712, the estate unfolds across nearly ten acres of sculpted gardens, pine woods, and ancient olive groves. Its recent restoration honors the villa’s patina of time, preserving original character while introducing the discreet luxuries of contemporary living. Here, baroque symmetry meets modern restraint—heritage frescoes and stone façades converse with clean-lined interiors and sculptural lighting. Beyond the walls, a sea-green pool reflects the rhythm of the Apulian light, completing a vision where past and present coexist with effortless elegance.

A 16th-century monastery reimagined with sculptural clarity and material restraint.
At Palazzo San Vito, architecture is not embellished — it’s pared back to its most essential form. Vaulted ceilings, raw textures, and a palette of light and shadow shape an atmosphere of grounded elegance.
