of Los Angeles, as the client couple spent time working in California and appreciated Richard Neutra\u2019s experimental vision of modern living. But the series of three pavilions and corresponding courtyards, each set devoted to socializing, sleeping, or contemplation, nods to a nearby influence, too: Catalonia\u2019s ancient Emp\u00faries, its ruins now a collection of vestiges and voids. The d\u00e9cor skews local as well; ceramic latticework and tile are by Cer\u00e0mica Ferr\u00e9s, its workshop a few miles away. Passive energy solutions\u2014natural cross ventilation, insulating walls, gray water tanks, solar arrays\u2014are similarly thoughtful.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Family Home by Paul\u00edny Hovorka

outward at 120-degree angles, accommodating all plant life and dividing the \u00bd-acre plot into smaller garden segments. Then, windows with ultra-slim frames that retract into pockets and large glazed walls that slide open to a covered terrace merge inside and out, as does the natural material palette, comprising exposed concrete, engineered oak, and thermally modified pine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Home by Iroje Khm Architects<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-sandow-image-gallery\"><div class=\"splide\"

Utilizing prefabricated-timber technology, traditional elements like stable, cowshed, and barn were reimagined as interconnected, cohesive volumes with contemporary flair. Glazed corridors, expansive windows, and upper-level verandas immerse the home in the landscape, while interiors, collaborated on with Paulina Cziba, feature Polish linen curtains on rods forged by a local blacksmith, custom oak furniture, and pieces by such area designers as Maja Ganszyniec, Malwina Konopacka, and Ola Niepsuj, further tying project to site.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Home by
