Press reimagines a long-standing local coffee spot in Fujairah, blending nostalgia with contemporary warmth. The project creates a space where visitors can immerse themselves in a layered, human-centric environment that feels both familiar and refreshed.
The orthogonal timber frame has long been the primary structural prototype for nearly all functional building types in the East—from halls and temples to dwellings. Shanxi, as one of the most important regions for the preservation of ancient Chinese timber architecture, retains many precious examples such as Nanchan Temple and Foguang Temple. These surviving entities embody the deep cultural lineage of traditional Eastern architecture. DANNONG, a clothing brand grounded in an inner Eastern sensibility, already operates many stores. Yet in the capital of Shanxi, how should garments be presented in space? How should the store grow in resonance with the region’s architectural heritage? These questions became the starting point of the design.
Sophisticated Luxury Embraced by the Forest – A New Architectural Creation in Dobogókő. There are houses that tell a story even before they are built. The Monolith Lodge in Dobogókő is one of these; a design created by Pyxis Nautica, which waited for a long time to come to life after receiving an unexpected message and was brought to reality by the team at Hello Wood.
Located in the heart of Copenhagen’s Bredgade, the new joint showroom for Danish cabinetmaker Kolon and lighting company Anour has been thoughtfully designed as a calm, tactile space celebrating local craftsmanship and material honesty. The interior unfolds in a palette of warm neutrals and natural textures – from oak and walnut to brushed metal and softly colored textiles – forming a serene backdrop for the furniture and lighting on display. Gentle contrasts between light and shadow, solid and void, lend the space a quiet rhythm that invites reflection and dialogue.
In a condominium in the interior of São Paulo, a unique residence stands out for its perfect fusion of rustic charm and functionality. Located in front of a square filled with trees, the house was designed to enhance the nature around it while offering comfort and coziness in every detail.
Tempo Nexus Library was renovated from an apartment that had been left vacant for many years in the historic Lê Ngọc Apartment Building at 130 Pasteur Street, Ho Chi Minh City. The project is part of a long-term series pursued by K59 Atelier, rooted in a deep attachment to Saigon’s old apartment buildings.
In the dense crevices of this mountain city, there exists a natural oasis that holds the city’s peace and stillness. This time, continuing the Natural Tectonic approach, we shaped a breathing teahouse among the wooded slopes—embedding a Scandinavian rationality and warmth into the urban fabric, and through it, attempting to reweave the relationship between humans, nature, and the modern metropolis.
In 2025, the architectural field has been marked by a dense calendar of exhibitions, a measured slowdown in construction across multiple regions, and a period of reflection that scrutinizes the impact of intelligence (artificial and natural)—both on professional practice and workplace culture, as well as its use as a pedagogical tool. Over this calendar year, ArchDaily has published more than 30 interviews in a range of formats—Q&As, in-person conversations, video features, and more. These exchanges have engaged themes of sustainability and nature, housing and urban development, AI and intelligence, adaptive reuse and public life, and have closely followed major exhibition platforms including the Venice Biennale, Expo 2025 Osaka, Milan Design Week, Concéntrico, and others.
Perched atop a wooded slope, The Roost residence overlooks one of Maine’s lakes with filtered views of nearby mountains. The 2,520-square-foot house was designed as a year-round retreat for a large extended family. To maximize the use of available footprint—the home sits within a conservation easement and the buildable footprint was severely limited—a two-story porch was designed on one end of the building volume to provide several overlapping features including a sheltered entry, a screen porch that expands interior living spaces, and an upstairs sleeping porch all within one simple architectural move.
Located at Via Manzoni 21, in the heart of Milan, the new Plan C flagship store marks the first step in the international expansion of the brand founded and directed by Carolina Castiglioni.
