Living Continuum Studio and House / Damith S Munasinghe Associates

March 12, 2026 Miwa Negoro 0

Living Continuum is a two-storey design studio and secondary residence located in Malabe, Sri Lanka, within a densely populated and rapidly urbanizing neighbourhood. Built on a compact site of approximately 7.5 perches, the project was envisioned as the architect’s own place of dwelling and practice, a space where mundane life and innovative work could exist together in continuity rather than deviation.

March 10, 2026 Miwa Negoro 0

Every home carries a story, but Mriya begins with a dream — cherished, nurtured, and ultimately realized. The name itself, meaning “Dream,” reflects the essence of this residence: the fulfilment of a long-held aspiration to create a sanctuary deeply rooted in its land and life.

Aurva Illam House / Iki Builds

March 10, 2026 Miwa Negoro 0

Set against the expanding urban edge of Hyderabad, Aurva Illam, a name bridging the Sanskrit Aurva (of the earth) and the Tamil Illam (home), is a residential prototype conceived as a “cascading earth” that unapologetically redefines modern luxury for the Anthropocene. Rejecting the ubiquitous glass-and-marble paradigm, the home proposes a new status symbol: bespoke materiality, thermal autonomy, and zero-air-conditioning living.

Self-Sustaining Farmhouse / Manoj Patel Design Studio

March 9, 2026 Miwa Negoro 0

Between the city’s chaos and rural calm, this sustainable retreat invites one to relax from the hectic schedules of daily routine into the natural habitat. The site is situated on the outskirts of Vadodara city, having a site area of 30,000 sqft with 1,500 sqft area built up. Surrounded by lush green open plots, the site context is an opportunity where architecture responds sensitively to nature through a material palette and spatial openness. Sustainability forms the core philosophy for the design, where the material palette plays an important role. Evolving from ecological sensibilities, the ground beams were formed within the cavities of brick walls and RCC slurry poured to bind and strengthen—transforming construction logic into an expressive architectural language of efficiency and craft.

Bondi House / Nick Kent Design

March 9, 2026 Miwa Negoro 0

The home is primarily a study in lightness, expressed through its suspended structure, materiality, and relationship to its site. Designed for Nick Kent’s own family and design studio, the house consists of an open-plan living area and native garden on the ground floor, with the three bedrooms and studio space on the upper level elevated to make the most of northern sun, with a screened terrace facing the street. From the outset, there was a desire to test materials and structural systems to achieve a sensitive, adaptable response to the site’s microclimate.

Project E Apartment / longwave studio

March 8, 2026 Miwa Negoro 0

The project occupies a two-level penthouse where both floors have independent access. By utilizing this dual-entry condition, the design reorganizes the vertical circulation, placing the primary entrance on the upper level and redefining the ritual of returning home while transforming storage into an architectural façade. The TV wall is raised and set back to create an expandable storage zone, where sneakers, skateboards, sports gear, and outdoor clothing are neatly organized. A red semi-circular volume accommodates large camping equipment and is positioned adjacent to the dust-off area, allowing the processes of leaving and returning home to flow seamlessly.

March 8, 2026 Miwa Negoro 0

ATAMI taught us to seek the hidden potential within the historic and cultural fabric of a building, embrace it, and carry it forward into a new chapter of its life. The house presented itself as a traditional Japanese structure, with multiple rooms divided by shoji doors, low ceilings, and tatami floors.
