Designed by 6a architects (@6a__architects) , this early twentieth century home is retained rather than rebuilt, wrapped in insulation and reclad in reclaimed slate to anchor it to its Devon landscape.

Inside, a three-storey, top-lit atrium transforms the experience entirely. A sculptural timber stair winds upward through layered balconies, while board-marked concrete frames new openings with precision.

At ground level, the floor is lowered to draw the interior outward, capturing sweeping coastal views and intimate courtyard moments in equal measure.

As hit TV show Industry returns to the trading floor this season, its high-pressure finance world sits within the same built environment as 70 St Mary Axe, a recent addition to the City that reflects how contemporary office buildings are designed, delivered and occupied.

Completed after a ten-year development process, 70 St Mary Axe was designed by Foggo Associates Architects as a high-performance commercial building, where efficiency, floorplate flexibility and tenant requirements drive the architecture as much as its external form. The project brings together detailed planning, engineering coordination and phased construction, all of which are documented in the Artifice Press publication 70 St Mary Axe through drawings, plans, and construction photography by James Reid.

Rather than being a symbolic backdrop, buildings like 70 St Mary Axe represent the actual spaces that firms such as the fictional Pierpoint would occupy: highly serviced, adaptable environments built to support intensive, technology-driven work. The Artifice Press book traces how the building was conceived, assembled and ultimately prepared for the kinds of occupants and activities that define the setting of Industry.

At the height of his career in 1969, Italian architect Marco Zanuso received an unexpected invitation that would lead to one of his most unusual projects.

Sydney and Victoria Press, based in South Africa, had come across Zanuso’s twin villas in Sardinia in an international magazine. Struck by their simplicity and sensitivity to landscape, they invited him to design a house on their remote farm at Coromandel, near Lydenburg.

Zanuso’s Sardinian work offered a clear starting point: low, enclosed stone structures arranged around courtyards, designed to protect against climate while opening carefully to the landscape. At Coromandel, these ideas evolved into something more radical, a house that feels at once ancient and modern, sheltered yet inseparable from its surroundings.

Working across distance and difference, architect and clients developed a shared language shaped by travel, publications and a mutual curiosity about how to live within nature rather than apart from it.

Creating Coromandel published by Artifice Press traces this collaboration, revealing how a chance connection became a defining architectural experiment in the South African landscape.

Can solar architecture move beyond performance and efficiency to shape human experience?

Designed in 2018 by Nina Edwards Anker, acclaimed architect, interior designer and founder of nea studio (@nea.studio), the Cocoon House is a feat of sustainable design. Located in Long Island, New York, the completely original, LEED-certified home, gets its name from the curved walls which form its cocoon-like shape

An architecture of connection and continuity.

Designed by Branch Studio Architects (@brancharch), the GPFLA Learning Centre at St Francis Xavier College reimagines the classroom as a “learning landscape”, where interlocking spaces, natural light and layered materials create a fluid, student-centred environment. Conceived as a series of modular learning cores, the project balances solidity and transparency while fostering collaboration and exploration.
