Tidal House, Scotland, by Brown & Brown
Stacked geometric volumes form this house on Scotland‘s Solway Coast, which also features large openings designed to overlook the area’s tidal flats.
The home, which belongs to a retired couple, is clad in smoked clay brick and wood and arranged around a three-sided courtyard with a single maple tree.

Sawmill Treehouse, Australia, by Robbie Walker
Located in a dense forest in Victoria, Australia, this raised one-bedroom steel cabin is elevated above ground on four slim posts and has its own garage. Its slatted-steel facade was designed specially for the region’s hot climate.
“It will help the building to breathe in a hot Australian summer and also help to hide any services, allowing the building to sit more like a sculpture in the trees,” designer Robbie Walker told Dezeen.

Pennyroyal Tea, India, by Multitude of Sins
With an interior created by 200 artisans from across India and about 80 per cent of its furniture, light fixtures and artworks made bespoke, this home in Chennai truly stands out.
Designed by Bengaluru studio Multitude of Sins, Pennyroyal Tea aims to “highlight the richness of Indian craftsmanship” and features details such as timber double doors decorated with flower motifs.

This red-brick home sits on a site behind Stoke Newington High Street in north London that was previously a parking space for a convenience store.
Local studio Nikjoo designed it as a townhouse interwoven by courtyards, wanting it to stand out like a “jewel” in the neighbourhood. Inside, exposed concrete blockwork and oak flooring were used to create a tactile material palette.
The Wild House, India, by Earthscape Studio
Another unusual home in India, The Wild House in Tamil Nadu has a sculptural shell coated in mud plaster and a winding, cave-like interior.
“The reason behind the structure was to avoid columns and beams, making a self-sustaining structure that flows in a fluidic form – we call this ‘fold architecture’,” lead architect Petchimuthu Kennedy told Dezeen.
