1. Homage to Oscar

Architect: Luigi Rosselli Architects, Location: Sydney, Australia

From the architect: "Sometimes alterations and additions can amount to significant interventions to breathe new life into a building, occasionally they require only the lightest touch to reinvigorate an existing design, as was the case with this Sydney home, designed in classic modernist style by the architect George Reeves in 1963."

2. Big Mouth House

Architect: Best Practice, Location: Seattle, Washington

From the architect: "This small multi-family project is a modern take on what a versatile, forward-thinking, multi-family living can look like. Each unit within the project is a flexible urban home with a studio space on the lower level, a main living area upstairs and a rooftop deck to take advantage of Seattle’s unbeatable city views."

3. Refurbishment for Tobías & Reme

Architect: Pablo Muñoz Payá Arquitectos, Location: Petrer, Spain

From the architect: "Given the existing building, the objective is to create a new atmosphere, bringing the old dwelling up to date with mechanisms and languages of our present-day culture. An atmosphere of calm and luminous serenity is desired, providing a sense of comfort that cares equally for body and spirit. Functionality and a utilitarian approach have been highlighted, combined with craftsmanship, imagination and innovation with a tendency towards abstraction is seen in the house."

4. La Magnolia

Architect: Martin Gomez Arquitectos, Location: Tigre, Argentina

From the architect: "We always take special attention to the shades of colors of the materials chosen, as we try not to paint but instead try to generate color through the materials itself, which helps us to communicate the style we want for each different project."

5. Hill Top Cottage

Architect: Luigi Rosselli Architects, Location: Sydney, Australia

From the architect: "Weaving architectural heritage with contemporary design and lifestyle is a practice that rewards with surprises and character filled places. In a conservative residential pocket close to North Sydney, a workers cottage perches on top of a hill looking south-east towards striking views of Sydney Harbour. The idea behind the design was to retain the existing character of the cottage to the front – its low slung and strong horizontal lines – and place a more contemporary two story addition at the back behind the ridge."
