1. Delaware

Architect: Ben Homes, Location: Burlington, Ontario, Canada

From the architect: "The Delaware house is sophisticatedly simple, with features that tie into the old downtown neighborhood that it is located in. The interior is bright and open, with a sloped glass roof that fills the home with natural light throughout the day and views of the stars at night."

2. Villeneuve Residence

Architect: Atelier Barda, Location: Montreal, Quebec, Canada

From the architect: "An office space was created in the entranceway. When the space is being used in the evening, it accentuates the cinematographic framing of the large front window, evoking the painting Nighthawks by Edward Hopper."

3. 61AMR

Architect: WIDGER Architecture, Location: London, England, United Kingdom

From Leibal: "These spaces have undergone a transformation into bedroom and studios that creates calm and serene interiors. The design approach took the existing forms, folds and edges and not only improved but also embraced them, attaching new complementary angular forms alongside."

5. Wellfleet Modern
