Cities can either take from the land or give back to it. At the south end of the Burrard Bridge in Vancouver's Kitsilano, 11 new towers are being built on land that was returned, not sold. This is Sen̓ákw: 10.5 acres of reserve land, once part of an 84-acre parcel, located where False Creek meets English Bay. Unlike other tower projects, Sen̓ákw creates a public park that stretches underneath them.

In Mouans-Sartoux, in the hills above Cannes, a 1980s villa was carefully deconstructed and rebuilt, preserving its original structure. Marcoux Mathern & Associés, led by architect and project partner Pierre-Guillaume Mathern, directed the transformation of the three-hectare estate and completed the renovation in 2025.

Canada covers a vast area, with coastlines, cities, and hundreds of remote and Indigenous communities spread across almost ten million square kilometres. Many of these places depend on planes and helicopters for groceries, medicine, and medical visits. Soon, new autonomous vehicles and drone-based aircraft will help connect these communities. But for them to work, they need places to land.

Palm Beach is famous for its exclusivity, with its neat hedges, private clubs, and ocean views reserved for those who can afford them. Carlo Ratti Associati (CRA) set out to change this with MiMar, a new 25-story residential tower in West Palm Beach. Built with Jeff Greene under Florida's Live Local Act, the building brings together affordable and market-rate apartments, giving every resident the same view of the Atlantic, regardless of what they pay.

Wright Avenue is located at the edge of Burnside Industrial Park, one of the largest industrial areas in Atlantic Canada. The project transforms an existing industrial building into a modern and flexible workplace for Bird Infrastructure. The existing 13,950-square-foot structure remains, but the design includes specific architectural updates to improve performance, accessibility, and curb appeal.

Esplendido Townhouse is an approved adaptive reuse project of a historic home composed of two connected houses in central Lequile, near Lecce. The design will fully renovate the building, preserving its original features, including vaulted rooms, uneven masonry, patterned cement-tile floors, timber doors and windows, a courtyard, and the classic roof.

Four robotic arms move in slow, careful circles above a hexagonal steel frame. They build up layers of lime, not concrete. There’s no mixer truck and no formwork needed.

A corner lot often poses a challenge in home design, as homeowners strive to make the most of every inch. In BSD, South Tangerang, one home turns these challenges into opportunities, with two open sides that artfully balance openness and privacy. Locals refer to this as a Hook Site, where the choice is whether to reveal the home to the street or shield it for greater privacy.

In Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, the project is rooted in a philosophy the brand calls "The Formless Greatness, A Quiet Way of Seeing" — the conceptual foundation for the entire project. Rooted in Taoist thought, it is based on a simple belief: true greatness shows itself through experience, not just looks. The phrase "A Quiet Way of Seeing" comes from Mencius and encourages us to look past first impressions to discover something deeper.

StudioAC designed a Toronto home tucked behind Casa Loma’s historic stables, where daily life and art come together. Rather than trying to stand out, the house draws inspiration from its well-known neighbour, using brick and careful craftsmanship to create something distinctive.
