Architectural Record - April 2026

2026 April

Our Record Interiors program is back with a showcase of eight varied projects, public and private, fine-tuned to entice and surprise. To name just a few are a pair of atmospheric restaurants, a seductive boutique, an art-filled apartment, and an open and inviting public library. Our Kitchen & Bath Section also returns with profiles of four cleverly transformed domestic spaces. Special this month is a survey on the architectural evolution of Apple’s retail experience in the tech giant’s 50th year. Elsewhere in the issue, we explore the greening of product libraries for the April CEU and, for the House of the Month, visit a Mexican residence with bold Japanese influences.

Check back throughout the month for additional content.
