Dissonant House is a project designed by M Gooden Design. A central aspect to creating a work of art that moves human emotion hinges on the opposing emotions of tension and resolution. Key components of this contrast are the concepts of dissonance and consonance. In music, composers often use dissonance to create tension and excitement, while consonance creates stability. A composer’s process of creating imbalance through dissonant chords and resolving the tension through consonance helps to create a deeply moving piece. Photography by Parrish Ruiz De Velasco.

Nestled in the picturesque countryside of Strath Creek, a red brick bungalow from the 1960s stood out as an unexpected and incongruous sight. With a layout more suited to suburban living, the value of retaining the existing structure appeared limited at first glance. However, the challenge of recycling and transforming the bungalow into a modern, sustainable, and leasable holiday home proved to be a fulfilling undertaking for Borland Architecture.

Longbranch House is a project designed by mwworks. Over decades, the once-forested rural slice of land had its center carved out and its length severed by a series of retaining walls straining to hold back the sloping earth. An aging suburban home sat uncomfortably at the promontory. Photography by Andrew Pogue.
The Gindi TLV towers have long since become a Tel Aviv icon that changed the city’s skyline. On the 45th floor of one of them lies the spacious apartment of a former kibbutz couple and their teenage daughter, where every detail is extraordinary: from a dramatic and powerful wall that creates a total separation between public and private spaces, through a pair of mature olive trees planted in the center of the living room, to fantastic artworks hung on the walls. Interior designer Oron Milshteain shares the work process and unconventional choices. Photography by Elad Gonen.
