Retreat in Nocaima / Obreval

Located among the lush, rolling hills of Nocaima, Colombia, this small dwelling offers a contemporary, thoughtful, and sensitive reinterpretation of traditional rural architecture. The project revisits vernacular elements such as bamboo, sloping roofs, and open corridors, transforming them into intentional architectural resources that, while honoring their cultural, material, and environmental origins, also question them and establish new relationships with the landscape and climate.

In their latest office conversion, Los Angeles-based design and architecture studio 22RE introduces a vibrant, residentially inspired workplace for LA creative agency Day Job. The 1,800-square-foot building in Glassell Park - formerly the studio of artist Ed Ruscha - sets the tone with an austere monolithic exterior clad in locally sourced Douglas fir and stucco.

The renovation and extension of a semi-detached house that aligns daily life with the rhythm of the sun. The historical postcard reads Villa Les Roses. Almost a novel by Willem Elsschot.

The Foundation for the Development of the Lands Adjacent to the Baptism Site has unveiled seven shortlisted concept designs for the new Museum of Jesus' Baptism at Bethany, Jordan. The proposals, now available in an online gallery, were developed by internationally recognized multidisciplinary teams led by AAU Anastas, heneghan peng architects, Níall McLaughlin Architects, Studio Anne Holtrop, Tatiana Bilbao ESTUDIO, Toshiko Mori Architect, and Trahan Architects. Managed by Malcolm Reading Consultants, the invited competition seeks an architect-led multidisciplinary team to design a museum and garden that responds to the sacred character of the site. The project is planned to open in 2030, marking the bimillennial of Christ's baptism, and aims to create a space of reflection, learning, and cultural exchange.
