The Corner House, Australia, by Ian Moore Architects<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The Corner House is one of two homes on this list that incorporate glass blocks in their facades.<\/p>\n

Designed by Ian Moore Architects<\/a>, the project transforms a 19th-century pub in Sydney<\/a>, which later became a corner shop, into a three-bedroom home.<\/p>\n

The studio used the glass bricks to form “a wall of light” that glows from within at night and marks the distinction between the new and old.<\/p>\n

Casa Tupin, Brazil, by Bloco Arquitetos<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

This month’s most popular house was Casa Tupin, completed by Bloco Arquitetos in Bras\u00edlia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It is wrapped by walls of perforated<\/a> brickwork that filter natural light and air, and enfolds a large central courtyard that serves as both a leisure space and a connective core.<\/p>\n

A House Born of Four Soils, India, by Hiren Patel Architects + Design<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Aptly named A House Born of Four Soils, this home on the outskirts of Ahmedabad<\/a> features walls of rammed earth made with sand from four different regions.<\/p>\n

“Its striated bands do not just form walls; they are geological canvases, capturing the warm, dusty hues of the local soil,” the studio told Dezeen.<\/p>\n

Light House, the Netherlands, by Studioninedots<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The second dwelling on this list that is distinguished by glass bricks is Light House, which Studioninedots built in a new neighbourhood in Amsterdam<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Studioninedots used the blocks to lend an industrial aesthetic to the home, while also helping to fulfil the client’s request for a light-filled interior.<\/p>\n

Casa Mavra, Mexico, by Taller Alberto Calleja<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Black-pigmented concrete<\/a> defines the angular forms of the 1,300-square-metre Casa Mavra, designed by Taller Alberto Calleja in the Mexican town of Valle de Bravo.<\/p>\n

The X-shaped home was designed as a “sculptural architectural object” that simultaneously blends in with the surrounding landscape, which is covered in dense woodland.<\/p>\n
