What makes a country house feel contemporary
What makes a country house feel contemporary - countryside Hampshire new build home
Country houses are expected to feel timeless, but they must also serve the needs of modern living. A contemporary country house doesn’t need to look modern—it needs to work with clarity, respond to its setting, and support the way people live today. Focusing on these details often starts at the threshold, where installing modern entry doors like from Doors Plus can bridge the gap between classic aesthetics and high-performance functionality.

Architects Kengo Kuma and Associates designed the Qatar Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka, Japan, in the form of a dhow. Surely this is too obvious a metaphor. Was it instructed to the famous Japanese architectural office, or did they come up with this no-brainer themselves?

Sustainable Architecture : Carbon Emissions Rise – radical plan required

Architecture Studio Profile : Norton Ellis Architects
“After just a few weeks listed on e-architect we were contacted by a new client for a residential refurbishment. The project suits us perfectly, I was amazed how the website created a new project so soon for us. I’m delighted that we signed up with e-architect, which we should have done sooner.” Robert Ellis, architect

We feature selected buildings below that have recently appeared on the Architecture News. A wider selection of new buildings can be found in our monthly architectural news pages.

We try to choose major buildings / designs that have created the most interest for our readers. Buildings can be located anywhere in the world and don’t have to be contemporary – major building refurbishments and architectural redevelopments are also welcome.
