Mexican studio Central De Arquitectura has designed the Casa Reforma in Mexico city, Mexico:
The proposal was created through solid stone volumes which respond to the horizontality that the spaces and the program generated and to their proportions. The project retakes the geometries of the context and urban image, unifying them in a tectonic volume. These volumes float above a water mirror which gives access to the house. A single skin of stone gives color and shape to the whole project, creating modulated openings and perforations that allow the entrance of light and shades created by the same volumes, controlling over natural light and creating private and comforting areas.

California Dreaming is designed by Bild Architecture as one of Australian suburban typologies to contemporary housing requirements. The area’s original houses were often indiscriminately placed on the site; with little consideration or adaption to the sites orientation, topography or street address.
