| HAUS AM BERG ISEL BY ELMAR LUDESCHER ARCHITECTS |
Boldly going forward from the classic Mitteleuropean box, Elmar Ludescher's Bregenz house is an instant-classic slice of wooden-clad Austrian architecture. Clean lines and seamless carpentry kit out the slender concrete frame to perfection. A top-hung slatted façade can be slid back like a giant pocket door to expose the road-side elevation, or put back in place to restore the private enclosed terrace.

| PRINGIERS HOUSE BY TADAO ANDO |
Working the design around the site's best orientation (it offers some breathtaking views of the Indian Ocean), Ando arranged the house over three sections connected by a raised courtyard. The generous bedroom wing, living wing and art studio are clean, minimal and geometric in the architect's signature exposed concrete. A rooftop pool and cantilevered terrace complete the picture.

| 77E77 BY DAVID ADJAYE ASSOCIATES |
First American residential project, the architect Adjaye switched allegiance to collectors, creating a starkly modern private museum that's as visually eccentric as the artworks contained within. Designed for a New York art-world power couple on the Upper East Side, the house's rough concrete carapace and edgy scattering of windows wrap around an even more eclectic interior – the unifying masterpiece in the owners' flamboyant collection.

| W HOUSES BY BARCLAY & CROUSSE |
Located on the edge of a cliff, the two houses share a patio, an architectural idea and a landscape. Two “cracks“ give room for open stairs that lead to a large “artificial beach“, a large open space that has a san patio and a pool. Around it a series of objects of polyvalent use allow a variety of uses throughout day and night.

Anthony Gill's Paddington House is a prosaic but highly effective refurbishment, combining two existing houses in a conservation area to create one generously proportioned private residence arranged around a central void.
The scheme developed around a central void with the ground floor living areas opening up on to the north facing garden while the views from the upper levels were carefully controlled.
