Brockley House, UK, by Office S&M
Known for its application of bright colour, local studio Office S&M looked to 1950s cake adverts when renovating this pastel-hued mid-century home on a street corner in Lewisham, south London.
Brockley House sits in stark contrast to its neutral neighbouring terraces, characterised by textured lilac render, lime green drainpipes and a checkerboard-tiled frieze.
"Engaging with its context through design that brings joy to both the residents and the street, the house becomes not just a private refuge but a lively presence in the neighbourhood," Office S&M co-founder Catrina Stewart told Dezeen.

Also by Office S&M, this London house in Plaistow features a baby pink and green facade that sets it apart from its brick-clad surroundings.
The new-build home is characterised by a stippled render and terrazzo details, revealing striking texture as well as vivid colour.
Positioned on an awkwardly angled corner plot, the house was designed to ensure that its interior spaces include natural light and views from two directions.

The Blue Building, USA, by LOT Office for Architecture
This three-storey Brooklyn townhouse was transformed into an all-blue building, reviving a property constructed over a century ago.
The Bushwick home acts as a bold beacon against the otherwise neutral-coloured street and features a private back garden hugged by corrugated galvanised steel walls. This material reflects a rainbow of hues that result from changing light throughout the day.
"The intention was that a bold monochromatic approach would create a new-building effect, almost making the building a stand-alone object," explained LOT Office for Architecture co-founder Leonidas Trampoukis.

Red House, UK, by David Kohn Architects
London studio David Kohn Architects sought to celebrate English eccentricities when designing Red House, a two-storey family home in rural Dorset.
Although its facade was chosen to look like a child's drawing of a traditional house, the dwelling was decorated with more unexpected details. Bright red brickwork clashes with vibrant green doors, window frames the underside of the roof canopy.
Red House was named after one of England's best-known Arts and Crafts houses, constructed by architect Philip Webb for print designer William Morris in the mid-19th century.

Simonsson House, Sweden, by Claesson Koivisto Rune
This Swedish house in Boden was clad entirely in red-painted planks of local pine by Stockholm studio Claesson Koivisto Rune.
The home was designed to adhere to strict local planning restrictions, which required the project to have a red roof to match other buildings nearby.
Claesson Koivisto Rune went a step further and covered the dwelling in red from top to bottom, creating a striking crimson facade.
工作室創(chuàng)始人 Rob Pollard 說:“粉色與瞬息萬變的天空相映成趣,陰天時呈現(xiàn)柔和的外觀,晴天時則更加生動活潑。”
Seabreeze, UK, by RX Architects
Rye-based RX Architects wanted to design this "comfortable and fun" seaside home in East Sussex to reference Mediterranean beach houses despite its pebbly English location.
The result is a playful property clad in pink-hued microfibre concrete, which was designed with windows without ledges to prevent the buildup of sand during regular windy periods.
"The pink offsets against the ever-changing sky to give both a subdued appearance on overcast days and a more vibrant appearance on brighter days," studio founder Rob Pollard told Dezeen.
Stack By Step Red Zone Boarding House, Indonesia, by Ismail Solehudin Architecture
Indonesian studio Ismail Solehudin Architecture designed this postbox-red perforated metal and brick boarding house in Bogor, West Java.
The punchy facade was created to look like a series of stacked houses, highlighting the building's function as a house of multiple occupancy.
Inside, the stairwell serves as both a corridor and a light-filled social space to maximise the floor plan.
The Tin House, UK, by Henning Stummel
Local architect Henning Stummel arranged red pyramidal volumes around a secluded courtyard to form his self-designed colourful house in London's Shepherd's Bush.
The home's six interconnected blocks were clad with russet steel, while raised seams were applied across all the walls and roofs.
Stummel chose the warm metal hue to complement but stand out against the surrounding red brick houses.
