The project, by the Tetro office, proposed a social area that is very open to the landscape, while the private areas were reserved on the side of a grove.
In a mountainous region near Brumadinho (MG), the architects Carlos Maia, Débora Mendes, and Igor Macedo, from the Tetro office, sought inspiration in the lush — and almost untouched — landscape of the place to compose this 350 m² refuge, affectionately nicknamed Casa Seriema, in reference to the birds that usually perch there.
The historic Hellenistic-style residence on the southern coast of France hides within its walls an apartment that resembles a holiday destination on Mount Olympus.
Villa Primavera. This was the name given to the summer home of Alphonse Lenoir, a wealthy advertising executive who commissioned architect Arthur Demerlé (1868-1953) to realize his dream of a residence on the Côte d'Azur, on the southern coast of France – a region also known as the French Riviera. More than a century later, Vanessa Margowski, passionate about art and co-founder of Joya – a fair specializing in jewelry and precious stones – sees a wish of hers and her husband's come true: transforming an architectural whim from the early 20th century, divided into apartments since the 1950s, into the ideal home for her eclectic and sophisticated collection.
In contemporary residential design, cleanliness is no longer an afterthought — it is architecture’s invisible partner. The most memorable interiors share a common trait: they feel effortless. Surfaces breathe, light travels uninterrupted, and daily life unfolds without friction. Behind this calm aesthetic often lies something less visible but equally intentional — professional cleaning systems designed to sustain beauty over time.
Modern cleaning companies are evolving far beyond housekeeping. Today, services blend organization, wellness, maintenance, and lifestyle support into a cohesive offering.
A hobbit-style underground shelter is attracting attention in Tennessee, United States. For sale for US$750,000, the property reveals itself to be, in fact, a luxury bunker. Built in 2010, the main house has 3000 ft² (280 m²) and is located on a 15-hectare plot.
Why refrigerators, ovens, washers, and other everyday machines deserve architectural-level attention
Modern homes are often discussed in terms of light, material, proportion, and flow. Yet beneath the visual calm of a well-designed interior lies an intricate network of working machines that quietly support daily life. Residential appliances—refrigerators, ranges, washers, dryers, dishwashers, and ventilation systems—form the invisible infrastructure of comfort. When they function well, they fade into the background. When they fail, the entire rhythm of a home is disrupted.
In contemporary residential design, appliances are no longer afterthoughts. Integrated refrigerators align flush with cabinetry, induction cooktops disappear into stone surfaces, and vent hoods become sculptural focal points. These machines are embedded into the architecture of the home, which makes their reliability and maintenance as important as that of walls, roofs, and windows.
