This week on Dezeen<\/a>, we started our review of the top stories and projects we published in 2025<\/a>, including the best architecture<\/a> and best interiors<\/a> of the year.<\/p>\n We also rounded up the top rebrands of 2025<\/a> \u2013 from restaurant Cracker Barrel’s failed rebrand to the barely noticeable tweaks to retailers Amazon and Walmart, along with the top museums and galleries<\/a> of the year.<\/p>\n The 2025 review started with a look at the top houses of 2025<\/a>, which included a brutalist-castle-like home and a glass-brick fronted house.<\/p>\n British studio Foster + Partners’ long-awaited Zayed National Museum opened on Saudi Arabia’s Saadiyat Island<\/a>.<\/p>\n The museum is the centrepiece of Saadiyat Island’s cultural district and celebrates the history, culture and landscape of the Emirates across seven galleries.<\/p>\n Dutch studio Mecanoo’s Natural History Museum Abu Dhabi, which measures 35,000 square metres, also completed on Saadiyat Island this week<\/a>.<\/p>\n In the US, Miami art week kicked off, showcasing a number of design and art installations. Among them was British designer Es Devlin’s massive rotating library, Library of Us<\/a>, which was installed on a beachfront.<\/p>\n Visitors to the event could also enjoy artist Pilar Zeta’s chromatic colonnade<\/a> and design studio Stephen Burks Man Made’s The Lost Cloth Object<\/a>.<\/p>\n In an opinion piece this week, interior designer Claire Keane looked at the challenges of designing living rooms with large TV<\/a>s.<\/p>\n “What to do with the TV is among the most challenging design problems in today’s American home,” Keane said.<\/p>\n US president Donald Trump has dismissed James McCrery as the lead architect for his White House ballroom<\/a>. Instead, the project will be led by Shalom Baranes Associates.<\/p>\n Trump has also called for a redesign of the Eero Saarinen-designed Dulles Airport<\/a> near Washington DC. His Department of Transportation announced plans to “replace or build on” the existing main terminal.<\/p>\n Car brand Ferrari’s design history was the subject of a new book, simply named Ferrari.<\/p>\n We rounded up 10 moments that defined Ferrari’s design history<\/a> from the book, which features photographs and drawings that have never been published before.<\/p>\n Projects that turned Dezeen readers’ heads this week included an off-grid home in Australia’s Victorian Alps<\/a>, a minimalist Spanish house with a courtyard<\/a> and a 1950s home organised a staircase<\/a>.<\/p>\n Our latest lookbook showcased compact bedrooms that make the most of small spaces<\/a>.<\/p>\n This week on Dezeen<\/strong><\/p>\n This week on Dezeen is our regular roundup of the week’s top news stories.
