Archidiaries is excited to share the ‘Project of the Week’ – Casa Mais Linda by Leo Romano. Along with this, the weekly highlight contains a few of the best projects, published throughout the week. These selected projects represent the best content curated and shared by the team at ArchiDiaries.
Inayoshi Office & House, designed by TSC Architects, is a complex use building of office and housing with a moderate appearance. The square-styled pavilion roof, which put out the eaves, greatly protects the outer wall and emphasizes the horizontal line of the entire building. The designers used plenty of natural materials such as cedar, cypress, pine, plaster, and mortar containing India.
Church Point House, designed by Chrofi, responds to a steep one-directional Western facing site overlooking Sydney’s Pittwater. Transparency within the dwelling’s core provides interconnectivity between these contrasting edges allowing the habitants to experience an ever-changing quality of light and atmosphere whilst connecting to the landscape.
Wellness Hotel Sotelia, designed by Enota, distances itself from the built environment and establishes a connection with the nature surrounding it. The singular volume planned initially is thus broken up into smaller segments arranged on different levels whose heights follow the existing slope. The hotel’s distinct shape is a direct result of attempts at finding a connection with the landscape. The unique structure offers the passers-by diverse spatial experiences.
Paracaima, designed by Perez Palacios Arquitectos Asociados, is a private residence consisting of two concrete volumes. The first volume contains the main open area with a terrace and a roof 7.5 m high that holds the library on one side. In contrast with the arch, the second volume is considerably more enclosed and contains all private rooms. The wood used to pour concrete was reused for some of the woodwork inside the house, such as doors.
Ribas House, designed by Estudio MRGB, overhangs in a plot with reduced dimensions and appropriates it to balance the privacy-conviviality binom. The patio was articulated here as the central element of spatial organization. It was placed to distribute light and vegetation in a panoramic way to the ground floor level and to communicate silently with the upper floor level.
The Estúdio MRGB is an architecture and urbanism office founded in 2004 in Brasília, to design great architecture for people. The fact that they think of people’s well-being as a principle brings us the duty of taking further the architecture practice with quality, purpose, coherence, and ethic. Estudio’s visual identity, characterized by the letters MRGB, has a narrow connection with Brasília.

L House, designed by Alexander Symes Architects, is a renovation project to create a thermally comfortable family home. ASA proposed an alternate way of thinking about the site with the main principles of respecting the bushland at the core and re-using as much of the existing built form, services and structure as possible to reduce waste and manage costs. The simplicity and rhythm of the material provides a striking contrast to the natural bushland.
House Enfold, designed by TOUCH Architect, has a bending linear massing to create the most efficient space with less circulation area. In massing design, two l-shape blocks intertwine together; one is stacking up on another. This creates void space between the two used for a green area. In other words, the tree is enfolded by the house.
TOUCH Architect is a design studio based in Bangkok with the team in design, construction, and management. “TOUCH” comes from our expertise and services covering all project stages. It focuses on basic human needs together with cultural and environmental concerns and context experiments, with an aesthetic of sustainability architecture.
The Bowery, designed by AJH+, continues the rich history of brick buildings based on a deep understanding of context, history, and stitching together rather than scale and “bling.” The project re-addresses the adaption of contemporary demands. It creates a desirable place to live over 4 storeys with great commercial spaces along one of Sydney’s busiest streets, thus providing a vision for future projects in the area.
AJH+ delivers private and public-sector projects in Urban, Architecture & Interior design in Houses, Hospitality, Retail, Commercial and Public. The practice is focused on the creation of memorable and engaging built environments. The designers aim to improve the well-being of the communities where the built environments interact, to increase people’s quality of life, and to minimize environmental harm.
A presentation of student projects made out of Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) as a part of “Mass Timber and the Scandinavian Effect” studio led by Jennifer Bonner and Hanif Kara of the Harvard Graduate School of Design.
Barril restaurant, designed by Paulo Merlini Arquitetos, intends to grow the house to reduce the waiting time of the clients, a space with a strong character that would fit with the remaining corporate image of the company. Taking into account the pre-existence of the site and taking advantage of a series of structural constraints, such as pillars and sanitation pipes, we created a logic of arched porticos that reinforce the idea of a winery.
Steel Form, designed by Atelier d’Arquitectura Lopes da Costa, expands the existing factory unit by constructing a new pavilion and an administrative building. The site lies along the new proposed street, giving rise to a curved concrete building marked by vertical aluminum profiles. It sought to differentiate itself from the industrial volume, highlighting its function as an administrative area.
Atelier d’Arquitectura Lopes da Costa has vast experience designing projects of architecture, urbanism, interior design, recoveries, remodeling, and landscaping. Concerned about the quality and accuracy of our services, they ensure technical assistance from the project’s beginning until completion. The team also counts on the regular cooperation of technical expertise offices, enabling them to ensure and coordinate all project components in its different specialties.
Residence for Two Collectors, designed by Wheeler Kearns Architects, is a penthouse that is comfortable to live in with simple elegance. The first essential decision was the non-directional end-grain walnut floor, providing a factory’s visual weight and durability. Machined, patinaed steel fabrications were subsequently “inserted” as operative/functional elements to toughen the space.
Courtyard House for FABPREFAB, designed by Chrofi, is a prefabricated, off grid, modern interpretation of the traditional Australian rural home. The organisation of flexible living areas provide an unexpected sense of space in a building normally dictated by narrow proportions. The dynamic arrangement of these spaces provides a strong connection to the ever changing landscape.
Northwest Apartment 307, designed by Arqbr Arquitetura e Urbanismo, is a home interior that integrates the spaces through carpentry pieces, allowing its separation when desirable. The main carpentry piece runs along the largest wall of the plan comprising storage spaces for kitchen, living room, circulation, and bedroom. A backward wheel of the same materiality integrates all the carpentry pieces from the kitchen wall and openings along the cabinets mark the windows and allow the entrance of natural light.
Villa G01, designed by Mask Architects, is a unique luxury villa with a panoramic sea view. The villa ensures the sustainability of Sardinia’s local architectural and material texture using today’s technology with robotic construction techniques. It generates an atmosphere of slow, laid-back summer living, encouraging mindful connection with family and friends and the freedom to exist peacefully in nature.

Casa Mais Linda, designed by Leo Romano, appropriates the sites characteristics for the definition of the architectural party. It is this evident structure that makes the volumetry appear to float over the terrain. The pillars are treated as sculptures and receive the slabs that duplicate at the ends of the building. Although robust in size, it translates in a poetic way and takes the way of life of the residents. It combines boldness with simplicity of materials.
Artist Residence, designed by Heliotrope Architects, is a home with an art studio inside having a contemporary style but not out of place with the rest of the Capitol Hill neighborhood. A visual connection to the street balanced with privacy; a strong relationship between the interior and exterior; lots of natural light; an interior with an art-gallery-feel to accommodate their growing art collection; and a separate guest wing.
