The 262 m2 residence balances traditional form with contemporary expression, integrating itself harmoniously with its surroundings through a thoughtful use of material and structure. The design is intrinsically shaped by the sloping terrain of the site. A partially underground basement, constructed from exposed concrete, anchors the home, providing a grounded counterpoint to the warm wooden structure above. This lower level accommodates practical spaces such as a large garage and service areas, as well as a more rustic "country-style room". The main living spaces are located on the upper floor, where the ceiling soars dramatically to the roof ridge, revealing the exposed timber frame and creating a sense of spaciousness. A sleeping area is also on this floor, with a gallery above it designed as a flexible and playful space for the owners' grandchildren. A key architectural element that bridges the new design with the regional building traditions is the covered porch, or gank, on the eastern side of the building. This external corridor connects the rooms on the ground floor, functioning as both a practical pathway and a symbolic link to the communal outdoor spaces of historic rural dwellings. This gesture, along with the prominently visible timber frame and the use of natural materials, ensures the new build feels both modern and deeply connected to its alpine setting. The interior of Hiša Š contrasts the rustic wooden structure with a clean, contemporary aesthetic. Modern furniture and materials are balanced with carefully chosen color accents and wallpaper. A notable feature is the suspended, rotating fireplace, which serves as a central point of life during colder months. In warmer weather, the living area can be extended outdoors onto a terrace and towards the pool area, which is cleverly shielded from the road by a green barrier. Through this project, Her arhitektura successfully delivered a home that respectfully nods to its heritage while providing a distinctly modern and functional space for its inhabitants.

Built in 2009 to replace an older, deteriorating bivouac, the new structure serves as a free refuge for mountaineers navigating the rugged landscape of Veliki podi beneath Mount Grintovec. Its vertical form is intended to be a highly visible landmark, easily spotted by hikers against the rock in summer or snow in winter. The shelter's design was heavily influenced by the extreme alpine environment and the logistical challenges of building at such a remote site, accessible only by foot. The components of the bivouac were prefabricated for minimal weight and transported to the site by helicopter. It rests on a small concrete base anchored into the bedrock, minimizing its footprint on the landscape. The structure is a simple volume, measuring 2 by 3 meters with a height of 4.5 meters. The exterior is clad in black aluminum panels, which contribute to its striking appearance against the backdrop of the mountains. The interior, with a total floor area of 14 square meters, is arranged across three vertical levels connected by a ladder. Large, vertical windows are strategically placed at the corners to frame dramatic views of the surrounding peaks, giving the impression that the upper sleeping levels are ""floating"" above the mountain scenery. The bivouac is unheated but designed for energy efficiency. The aluminum outer panels provide insulation to retain the heat generated by the occupants' bodies, while the inner skin of perforated wooden panels allows moisture to escape, ensuring a dry and warm interior. The vertical layout means that heat naturally rises to the upper sleeping levels, which can comfortably accommodate up to eight people. The ground floor provides a living and dining area with benches and a small table. The successful realization of the bivouac earned Miha Kajzelj the Plečnik Medal in 2011.

The project is a collaboration between OFIS Architects, structural engineers AKT II, and students from Harvard University's Graduate School of Design (GSD), whose initial design studio work evolved into a fully realized architectural project. Conception and design. The project began in 2014 as a GSD design studio led by OFIS Architects' Rok Oman and Špela Videčnik, challenging students to design a modular shelter for extreme alpine conditions. The winning proposal, by students Frederick Kim, Katie MacDonald, and Erin Pellegrino, was inspired by traditional Slovenian vernacular architecture and features a robust, multi-faceted form. The final design, refined with input from mountaineers and engineers, consists of three prefabricated, 12-square-meter modules that are designed to resist heavy snowfall, strong winds, and extreme temperatures. Due to the difficult-to-access location at 2,080 meters above sea level, the modules were fabricated off-site and airlifted to the site by a Slovenian Army helicopter. More than 60 volunteers, along with the architects and engineers, completed the assembly in a single day, minimizing environmental disturbance. The modular construction and anchored base allowed for a quick, low-impact installation on the rugged, rocky terrain. The exterior is clad in a weather-resistant, silver-gray composite skin of glass fiber-reinforced concrete panels. This durable outer shell provides protection from the elements, while the interior is lined with natural larch timber panels to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Floor-to-ceiling, triple-glazed windows on the end walls offer stunning panoramic views of the surrounding valley and mountains. The interior layout is functionally divided into three zones, with a ladder connecting the entrance and storage area, the central living and dining area, and the upper bunk sleeping quarters.

Completed in 2006, the project offers a contemporary take on the traditional, archetypal Slovenian farmhouse. The house was designed to be cost-effective, energy-efficient, and low-maintenance, with a construction process that allowed for rapid on-site assembly The design is centered on a basic pitched-roof volume, but its cladding offers a unique, modern interpretation. The facade features a veil of horizontally oriented timber louvers on the north and south sides, which contrast with vertically oriented zinc panels that cover the roof and parts of the east and west elevations. While the house appears to lack traditional windows from a distance, the louvers and gaps in the timber cladding allow natural light and ventilation to filter into the interior while maintaining a sense of privacy. The design is interactive, allowing occupants to adapt the house to the weather and their mood. The interior and exterior spaces are functionally distributed in a ""corridorless"" design, with an open floor plan that flows naturally from one space to another. The building opens up onto terraces on both the northern and southern facades, allowing residents to pursue outdoor living depending on the weather; the southern terrace offers warmth on colder days, while the northern terrace provides shade during the summer. Sustainability is a key feature of the Simple House. The highly insulated envelope, combined with solar panels on the roof and a central heating plant, ensures low running costs and a reduced environmental footprint. The use of durable, low-maintenance materials like zinc and wood further contributes to the home's longevity and minimal upkeep needs.

Situated in a forest clearing in Kanji Dol, Slovenia, the project was created for a young Slovenian family who, living in a big city in Italy, wanted a home that allowed them to be surrounded by nature. The design is a modern interpretation of the traditional mountain cabin, with exaggerated angles and oblique sides that give it a distinctive appearance while allowing it to blend into the surrounding landscape. Its simple form was intentionally created to minimize disruption to the environment and withstand the harsh Slovenian weather. The Wooden House's exterior is protected by durable, dark metal siding and thick insulation, which contrast with the light-wood interior. This warm, timber-clad interior offers a sense of being outdoors and helps blur the line between interior and exterior spaces. A large glass facade on one side of the house lets in ample natural light and provides expansive views of the forest and hills, connecting nearly every room to the natural surroundings. The layout maximizes the home's limited space with an open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area on the ground floor. Two bedrooms and a play area are located on the second level and overlook the main living spaces. The house also features a sauna on the ground floor and minimalist furniture in dark tones that provides contrast to the light wood interior. A deck and minimal landscaping integrate the house into its surroundings. The project received second place nationally for the best wooden construction in Slovenia in 2016.

Completed in 2010, the project was designed by the firm's partners, Anu Puustinen and Ville Hara, as their own holiday residence. Concept and location The 78 m² cabin is a minimalist retreat that provides a profound contrast to hectic city life, offering a chance to live simply with minimal environmental impact. The villa's cross-shaped plan is a deliberate design choice, with each of its four wings reaching out toward a distinct view of the surrounding landscape. This intentional layout ensures that the residents can enjoy three unique views of the lake and a forest view to the west. The orientation also allows for different light at various times of the day—morning light in the kitchen, midday sun in the dining area, and evening light in the living room. The exterior is clad in a black-stained wood that helps the building to recede and blend into the dark forest, while the flat roof is a nod to modernist architectural clichés. The interior, by contrast, is kept bright with light-colored wood on the floors and walls, and it is finished with a white wood wax. The simple, functional furnishings enhance the home's rustic charm. The main villa and a separate, 24 m² sauna building were built with a modest budget, aided by the ascetic, off-grid nature of the facilities. The Four-Cornered Villa is a model of low-impact, sustainable living. The structure is heavily insulated and heated solely by wood-burning fireplaces and stoves, sourcing wood from the island's own forest. Covered terraces prevent overheating during the hot Finnish summers while allowing passive solar gain in the winter. The cabin's minimal electricity needs are met by solar panels. The villa has no running water, with water sourced directly from the nearby Vaskivesi Lake. A vegetable and herb garden on-site provides food, and the lake offers fishing for pike-perch.

Completed in 2020, the 90-square-meter cabin was thoughtfully designed to minimize its impact on the natural environment and to foster a deep connection with the surrounding wild forest and water. The structure of Villa Rauhanniemi, a wood and glass building, is elevated on a platform that both provides stability and serves as a wraparound balcony, allowing the family to live as much outdoors as possible. To construct the home with minimal disruption to the forest, large machinery was not permitted on-site, and materials had to be carried in by hand. The trees removed during construction were repurposed to create the outdoor benches. Large panoramic windows were incorporated to blur the line between interior and exterior, framing spectacular views of the lake and ensuring that each room feels spacious despite the home's compact size. Reflecting Laajisto's Scandinavian design philosophy of not cluttering the world with unnecessary things, the interior is crafted from a warm, natural material palette that includes Douglas fir, light pine, and oak.

Surrounded by pine forests, the residence is a contemporary interpretation of coastal living, respecting both the landscape and the area's architectural heritage. The house features a bi-level structure, with its lower level partially submerged into the bedrock, a technique that minimizes the visual impact of the building and anchors it firmly to the cliffside. The main living floor sits perched on the cliff top, offering expansive and direct views of the Baltic Sea. This elevated position allows the house to feel protected yet completely connected to the dramatic coastal environment. The exterior is clad in spruce and painted with traditional linseed-oil paint, a nod to the 19th-century buildings characteristic of the region. This choice of material and finish helps the villa blend into its surroundings and weathers gracefully over time. Inside, the design creates a strong visual link between the interior and the rugged, natural surroundings. Large glass walls frame the dramatic landscape, bringing the sea and forest views directly into the living spaces. The interior palette is a mix of white and wood, complemented by unique details that reference the natural world. For instance, leaf-green floor tiles at the entrance mirror the surrounding pine forests, while rocks from the site itself are incorporated into both the interior and exterior. The living, dining, and kitchen areas feature retro-style furniture, adding a touch of character and warmth to the contemporary shell. A flat roof over the submerged lower level is topped with a wooden deck and balustrades, creating a large, sheltered terrace accessible from the main living area. Above the upper floor, a gabled, zinc-covered roof provides robust protection against the area's often harsh wind and sea spray.

Completed in 2020, the 90-square-meter cabin was thoughtfully designed to minimize its impact on the natural environment and to foster a deep connection with the surrounding wild forest and water. The structure of Villa Rauhanniemi, a wood and glass building, is elevated on a platform that both provides stability and serves as a wraparound balcony, allowing the family to live as much outdoors as possible. To construct the home with minimal disruption to the forest, large machinery was not permitted on-site, and materials had to be carried in by hand. The trees removed during construction were repurposed to create the outdoor benches. Large panoramic windows were incorporated to blur the line between interior and exterior, framing spectacular views of the lake and ensuring that each room feels spacious despite the home's compact size. Reflecting Laajisto's Scandinavian design philosophy of not cluttering the world with unnecessary things, the interior is crafted from a warm, natural material palette that includes Douglas fir, light pine, and oak. Wide oak floorboards provide a sense of refined rusticity, while grey marble countertops and a fireplace in the living area add warmth and sophistication. The kitchen was intentionally kept simple and stripped back to maintain the character of a cabin rather than a residential home.

This vacation residence thoughtfully balances communal living with the need for individual privacy by dividing the program into two distinct units. The structures are arranged in a ""down-to-earth"" fan shape that preserves the surrounding pine trees and visible rocks, with the buildings' large windows oriented to maximize views toward the sea. The design is a contemporary expression of the traditional Finnish cabin, composed of four interconnected sections of varying heights. The units are joined by a central, sheltered terrace that serves as a shared outdoor living space. A narrow, inviting entrance is nestled between the two primary volumes, offering a first glimpse of the landscape beyond. The layout was specifically crafted to ensure that each unit enjoys equally impressive views, while interior sightlines between the two are intentionally limited, creating a sense of shared presence without sacrificing privacy. The holiday home was constructed using a prefabricated 180mm log frame, which was then clad in vertical spruce with a silicon treatment to achieve a weathered silver-grey finish that blends with the natural surroundings over time. The interior spaces celebrate this honest material palette, with visible roof beams and exposed wooden surfaces treated with lye to create a bright, serene atmosphere. Striking black fireplaces and dark built-in furniture provide a contemporary contrast to the light wood. Sustainability was a key consideration in the project. The building utilizes a prefab structure to minimize waste and features glue-laminated timber beams and recycled wood fiber insulation. Natural ventilation, air-source heat pumps, and underfloor heating contribute to the home's energy efficiency.

Sited on Lake Saimaa, near Savonlinna, the 15-square-meter cabin was designed with a Zen philosophy of ""nothingness,"" stripping the design to its bare minimum to create a space for spiritual and visual focus. At night, the illuminated cabin shines on the lake like a warm candle, a key part of its design concept. The cabin was designed to minimize its impact on the protected nature reserve, and the process of building it reflects this commitment. To avoid damaging the forest vegetation, a temporary road was built for a single day to assemble the prefabricated structure. The vegetation was then restored to its original state once the construction was finished. The structure is primarily composed of cross-laminated timber (CLT), which is exposed on the interior to create a warm, minimalist, and natural aesthetic. The exterior is clad in larch boards, allowing the cabin to blend harmoniously with its surroundings. The gabled ends of the cabin feature full-height glazing, maximizing the connection to nature and providing panoramic views of the water on both sides of the peninsula. The interior includes built-in furniture and a sleeping bunk accessed by a ladder, demonstrating an efficient use of the compact space.

Conceived as a high-quality ""hideout"" or experiential space, the cabin was created to offer occupants uninterrupted, panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, including the sky. The initial prototype was installed in Inari, Finland, near Juutuanvuono Lake, with an almost 360-degree vista of the riverside site. A core principle of the design is seamless integration with nature. This is achieved through its mirrored glass exterior, which reflects the environment and makes the cabin appear to blend in with the trees. The sleek black steel frame and floor ribbon also minimize the visual impact on the landscape. The interior is designed to draw attention outwards, with uniform colors and materials that do not distract from the external view. The triangular shape of the steel beam structure and the angle of the glass surfaces are precisely calculated to optimize sightlines, especially for someone lying in bed. High performance in challenging climates is a key feature of the Lucia Smart Cabin. The structure uses high-tech thermal glass, tested to withstand frigid temperatures, and includes an integrated heated floor system. Integrated lighting within the steel frame illuminates the interior without cluttering the glass and uses the surfaces to create a dynamic, multi-dimensional effect. For privacy or cooling, options such as curtains or customized prints can be added to the glass. The units are prefabricated and delivered to the site ready for installation on foundations with infrastructure connections. The compact but efficient interior accommodates a king-size bed, a small kitchenette, a dining area, and a bathroom. An exterior patio and a path to the water's edge extend the experience to the outdoors.

The project was commissioned by a family who found their existing 1960s fishing cabin too small for their needs and wanted a new building better suited for island living. The design draws inspiration from classic summer cabin aesthetics while incorporating modern functionality, with a central goal of connecting the occupants with the serene lake environment. The architectural response to the island's unique location and occasional strong winds is a practical and aesthetically refined structure. The summerhouse features a protective saddle roof with long eaves, which extends over covered outdoor spaces. These sheltered areas are protected from the wind by external walls that also serve to frame specific views of the lake. The house is intentionally positioned on the flattest and most scenic part of the island, maximizing both the open lake views and access to the evening sun. Construction was designed for efficiency and minimal environmental impact, using a non-insulated 200 mm thick cross-laminated timber (CLT) frame that could be easily transported and assembled on the island. Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machining of the CLT frame allowed for simple yet elegant detailing. The floor and roof were built with wood fiber insulation and LVL and glulam beams. The spruce frame and interior claddings were mostly left untreated, contributing to a natural, rustic feel. Inside, the main space, which combines the kitchen and living room, is defined by the visible saddle roof and the vast, open view of the lake.

Perched on a granite ridge in a high-latitude pine forest, the cabin was built as a guest cabin and owner's retreat for an engineer who wanted to host his extended family and reconnect with the natural landscape. The design is a modern take on the traditional Finnish log cabin, blending traditional forms with contemporary details and focusing on natural light and open space. To minimize the impact on the site, which included a delicate landscape on a narrow ridge, the cabin's logs and window assemblies were prefabricated off-site and lifted into place by a crane. Built on post foundations, the cabin combines the traditional gable roof and log walls of Finnish cabins with unexpected details, volume, and quality of light. Locally sourced materials were used to complete the project on a limited budget. The exterior is protected from the elements by vertical pine screening treated with iron oxide, which accelerates the natural graying of the wood. The interior, in contrast, features untreated pine log walls and bare roof rafters, creating a warm and rustic aesthetic. The layout includes a double-height living room with oversized operable windows on the north and south sides that frame panoramic views of the forest and Lake Saimaa, blending the indoors with the outdoors. A whimsical, treehouse-like loft provides a cozy retreat, and two generous bedrooms bookend the living space.

The 280-square-foot structure was built on a modest budget of approximately $14,000, with the designers doing most of the work themselves. The off-grid cabin was designed as a simple and functional retreat to live in and reflect on self-reliance. Built on a rocky plot with a natural flat spot near a lake, the cabin’s design features four slightly offset rooms spread across a total floor space of 26.8 square meters, offering a different view of the surrounding landscape from each staggered window. The cabin's off-grid utilities include a water pump, a three-phase sewage system, and a hot water supply powered by solar energy and a wood-burning stove. To accommodate the cabin's location on swampy soil with no vehicular access, the designers first built a 650-foot-long elevated pathway to the nearest road. The foundation was built using concrete-filled steel pipes anchored into bedrock to ensure durability. The minimalist interior features wood-paneled walls and flooring, with plywood boards lining the ceilings. A wood-burning stove provides heat, while large windows allow natural light to flood the space and connect the occupants with nature. A small deck outside provides an open-air area for a tranquil retreat.

Completed in 2020, the cabin is part of a larger, ecologically sensitive tourism project that will eventually feature up to 50 unique dwelling units, as well as a sauna and conference center. The design is a modern interpretation of the traditional niliaitta, an elevated wooden hut historically used by the indigenous Sámi people to store food and other items away from bears and other wild animals. Niliaitta was conceived as a secluded, ""bear-cache"" for humans, providing a retreat from the chaos of modern life. The cabin is elevated on a single, slender concrete-filled steel column, which minimizes its footprint and allows the forest floor to remain undisturbed. The exterior is clad in black-toned pine, allowing the structure to blend with the surrounding trees, while the interior is lined with warm, light-toned wood. The 30-square-meter cabin features a minimalist and cozy interior, with all utility spaces—including a kitchenette, spacious shower, and building systems—cleverly contained within a central core. The central core design allows the living space to remain open and uncluttered, drawing attention to a full-height window that frames views of the surrounding nature. The interior also features wood surfaces and eco-wool insulation, with plastic avoided in the structure. A linear staircase provides access to the elevated cabin, creating a transition from the wild outdoors to a secure and tranquil retreat.

The project's name, Plúmula, which refers to the embryonic shoot of a plant, reflects the design's focus on new growth and revitalization. A central aspect of the design is the preservation of pre-existing adobe walls, honoring the building's history, while a lightweight steel framework is integrated to reinforce the structure and expand the space. The house was commissioned by Amy García Kennedy, a plastic artist who works abroad and wanted a retreat in her home country. At the heart of the design is a magnificent Flamboyán tree, which the architects made the focal point of the property, with key views from the workshop, meeting space, and bedroom all centered on its contemplation. The layout was designed for practicality and warmth, utilizing a sensitive monochrome palette that visually enlarges the interiors. This is achieved through the use of budget-friendly, locally sourced materials such as steel, adobe, pine wood, and red brick. These materials also create a dialogue between the old and new, and their familiarity to local craftsmen facilitated the construction process. The project employs several sustainable strategies. The existing adobe walls offer natural thermal mass, keeping the home cool during the hot Oaxacan summers and warm in the winters. The house also incorporates a solar water heater and a rainwater harvesting system with filters, while LED lighting was chosen for energy efficiency. Tall sliding windows blur the boundaries between the indoors and the surrounding lush environment, inviting natural light and ventilation and reinforcing the visual connection to the Flamboyán tree. Plúmula Workshop House is a project that responds thoughtfully to its context, integrating into the local neighborhood while offering a tranquil and inspiring sanctuary for its inhabitant.

Designed and completed in 2022 by BE Architektur, the house reinterprets the traditional Swiss agricultural barn typology (known as a schüür) into a functional and sculptural family home. The design's main goal was to create a new home that respects and blends into its historical and agricultural context. BE Architektur's founder, Boris Egli, achieved this by taking typical barn characteristics and reinterpreting them in a modern way. From a distance, the house appears to be another unassuming outbuilding in the hamlet, but upon closer inspection, its contemporary nature is revealed. Key features of this reinterpretation include: Glazed spruce facade: The exterior is clad in the same type of timber used for traditional Swiss barns, but with a transparent glaze that allows the wood to weather naturally. Pitched tile roof: A classic pitched roof is topped with the same tile roofing as neighboring structures, helping the building blend in. Concealed fenestration: Operable windows are hidden behind wooden shutters, while large, fixed glazing is fronted by sliding wooden doors. This creates a cohesive, uniform facade that conceals the interior's domestic function. Inside, the house embraces a raw and unfinished aesthetic, using a minimalist material palette to create a series of interconnected, sculptural spaces. The interior functions, such as the bedrooms and closets, are housed within enclosed volumes that are "stacked" atop one another. This design recalls the idea of a barn as a storage space. The negative space created around these volumes forms a spacious, open living area with a sense of vertical and horizontal expanse. The interior features exposed concrete floors and walls finished with textured, light-grey plaster, creating a tactile and serene environment. The project showcases a blend of rustic inspiration with modern, sustainable techniques. A photovoltaic system is integrated onto the gently sloping concrete gable roof, ensuring the home's energy needs are met with solar power. The freestanding concrete two-car garage was built using the same timber formwork as the house's facade, creating visual continuity between the two structures. A raw steel beam is used as a minimalist gutter, extending beyond the base of the roof to define the structure's clean lines.

Designed by Berrel Berrel Kräutler Architekten, the 172-square-meter home was completed in 2016 and is perched on a southwestern slope with views over the Alsatian countryside. The architectural design is based on a contrast between a simple, unassuming exterior and a dynamic, sculptural interior. The cubature of the detached house adheres to local building code specifications, featuring a gabled roof that is reinterpreted in a contemporary way. The material palette is designed to weather naturally over time, with the roof and shorter facades clad in a copper-titanium-zinc alloy, and the long sides finished with rhythmic wooden slats. To maximize the use of the sloped plot, the interior is divided into four distinct split levels that flow into one another. This creates an open, loft-like experience despite the modest footprint of the house. A key feature of the interior is a suspended wooden shell that contains the two upper floors and houses the bedroom, study, and bathroom. This creates a double-height central space below, which serves as the heart of the home. Throughout the interior, precise carpentry work creates seamless connections between spaces. Storage units and minimalist stairs are integrated flush into walls and surfaces, creating an abstract and uncluttered living environment. The prefabricated timber frame and other materials were chosen for their durability and how they would respond to the environment over time. The ground floor includes the entrance, kitchen, dining area, and living room, which are connected visually and spatially. The two upper levels in the suspended wooden shell contain the private quarters, and the lower cellar and storage rooms are tucked into the slope. Narrow skylight slits in the roof and along the integrated shell, combined with a large window in the double-height space, flood the interior with natural light.

Situated amongst a loose arrangement of single-family houses, the house stands out with its powerful yet minimalist architecture, set against the backdrop of an impressive mountain range. The design, characterized by a "hard shell, soft core" approach, is a thoughtful response to both its alpine environment and the clients' needs. The exterior presents a fortress-like shell of raw, vertically-formed concrete. The light color of the concrete is a result of using local cement, giving the structure an authentic, unpretentious feel. This robust outer shell is designed to withstand the harsh alpine climate. In contrast, the interior features a fully wooden core, bringing warmth and a sense of coziness to the living spaces. The house has an almost square footprint and a steep gable roof, reflecting a contemporary take on traditional alpine building. The design is precisely placed within the landscape to maximize views of the impressive mountain scenery. A single-storey annex flanks the main building, anchoring it into the sloping terrain. This addition not only defines the main entrance but also provides two covered parking spaces. The interior is organized around the self-supporting wooden core, which serves as a central hub for the split-level arrangement of the rooms. Rooms are arranged on half-stories around the central core, creating a continuous flow of space and providing access to the different areas. The living and dining room, kitchen, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a dressing room, a library, a studio, and a wine cellar are all cleverly integrated into this layout. The warm, natural wood of the core contrasts beautifully with the raw concrete of the exterior and ceilings, creating a rich tactile and visual experience. The formwork pattern of the concrete walls was created using vertically arranged, standardized large-area formwork, showcasing a meticulous attention to detail.

This 65 m² retreat, completed in 2020, replaces a dilapidated barn on a summer pasture 1,070 meters above sea level. The project's philosophy is rooted in a respect for the landscape and a commitment to self-sufficiency, creating a modern shelter that honors the area's pastoral heritage. The design concept for the Béllerine Cabin evolved from the idea of a primitive shelter centered around a fireplace. It also draws inspiration from Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's "Terre des Hommes," which speaks to human connection with the land. The cabin's form retains the memory of the barn it replaced, utilizing the same footprint and volume to preserve its place within the landscape. The interior is conceived as a "cavern-like room" with a central fireplace that radiates heat. The substantial internal mass absorbs and stores this heat, also keeping the space cool during warmer summer months. Large windows frame the dramatic and ever-changing views of the Rhône valley and Lake Léman, allowing minimal furnishings to focus attention on the natural surroundings. The cabin is entirely self-sufficient, relying on wood from the surrounding forest for heating and an autonomous system for water and electricity. Cloux Architecture's commitment to local sourcing and natural materials is evident throughout the construction. The frame was fabricated and insulated off-site using wood fiber from just five miles away. The roof is covered with untreated European larch shingles, a durable material that has been used for centuries. The external and internal cladding is made of untreated, local spruce sourced from a nearby mill. All cement used in the project was produced less than ten miles from the site. The cabin's design is integrated with its environment through bioclimatic strategies. Trees like wild cherry and sycamore on the western side of the building provide solar gain in winter while offering crucial shade in the summer. This natural shade helped justify the inclusion of large openings during the permitting process.

Built in 2021 as a replacement for an older structure, the house is located in the Flumserberg-Bergheim area, where it offers its inhabitants almost uninterrupted views of the surrounding woodland, mountains, and Lake Walen. The design concept likens the compact building to a ""casket,"" carefully blending it into the landscape. The exterior is a striking, dark wooden volume with a classic gabled roof. The vertical charred-wood cladding is arranged at different depths, creating a rich texture that changes depending on the light and the viewer's perspective. The facade has a changeable character, thanks to foldable wooden shutters on the ground floor. When the house is unoccupied, these shutters can be closed, making the house appear more reserved and protected. When the owners are present, the shutters open to connect the interior with the surrounding scenery. In stark contrast to the dark exterior, the interior is bright and minimalist, defined by the use of light birch plywood surfaces. This choice of material creates a warm and inviting atmosphere, with built-in storage and joinery seamlessly integrated into the walls to maximize space. The floor plan is organized vertically, with a ""reversed"" layout. The ground floor contains the bedrooms, a bathroom, and a workspace, while the upper floor is dedicated to the kitchen, dining, and living areas. This arrangement allows the main living spaces to benefit most from the panoramic views.

Completed in 2019, the temporary, 204-square-foot modular cabin was built on the remote Piz Lunghin mountain in the Swiss Alps, an area at over 2,500 meters of elevation. The project was created to celebrate the company's origins and to mark the launch of its first hiking shoe. It was only accessible by foot, and after its limited run, it was disassembled to leave no trace on the pristine alpine landscape The hut's design emphasized minimalism and reduction. The exterior was clad in a reflective metal that helped it blend into its natural, mountainous surroundings. Inside, the cabin was lined almost entirely with warm, inviting plywood, used for the floors, walls, and built-in tables. A wood-burning stove provided warmth, creating a cozy atmosphere. The cabin featured a series of platforms that led guests from the entrance to a large glass viewpoint overlooking the valley. A lofted mezzanine with a bed offered a unique and elevated vantage point for taking in the stunning views. The off-grid structure was powered by solar panels and a rainwater collection system.

The project, an initiative of the hikers' association Hikemates, was completed in 2022 and provides a simple, year-round rest stop and meeting point for tourists and hikers at an altitude of 850 meters. The design prioritizes practicality and functionality over aesthetics, aiming for a utilitarian interior free of unnecessary elements while still providing optimal comfort. The 30-square-meter cabin features a straightforward, pragmatic layout designed for efficient use. To the right of the entrance are tiered sleeping platforms that span the height of the cabin, while to the left is a dining area with a small stove. Storage shelves are integrated for luggage and food. The building is set on road panels to protect it from moisture, and its pitched roof extends beyond the entrance to provide a sheltered entryway. Constructed entirely of wood, the Shelter's exterior is clad in black-stained spruce boards, allowing it to blend seamlessly into the forest environment. The frame is hinged and reinforced with black-grey stained pine plywood from the inside. For insulation, a horizontal grate of spruce prisms is used, filled with thermal insulation, and covered with a vapor-permeable foil.

The project, an initiative of the hikers' association Hikemates, was completed in 2022 and provides a simple, year-round rest stop and meeting point for tourists and hikers at an altitude of 850 meters. The design prioritizes practicality and functionality over aesthetics, aiming for a utilitarian interior free of unnecessary elements while still providing optimal comfort. The 30-square-meter cabin features a straightforward, pragmatic layout designed for efficient use. To the right of the entrance are tiered sleeping platforms that span the height of the cabin, while to the left is a dining area with a small stove. Storage shelves are integrated for luggage and food. The building is set on road panels to protect it from moisture, and its pitched roof extends beyond the entrance to provide a sheltered entryway. Constructed entirely of wood, the Shelter's exterior is clad in black-stained spruce boards, allowing it to blend seamlessly into the forest environment. The frame is hinged and reinforced with black-grey stained pine plywood from the inside. For insulation, a horizontal grate of spruce prisms is used, filled with thermal insulation, and covered with a vapor-permeable foil. The roof consists of spruce prisms with insulation and is covered with corrugated galvanized sheet metal. The dark facade is accented by a vibrant blue-painted window frame and a red table, adding a playful touch of color to the otherwise monochromatic exterior.

Completed in 2020, the project integrates modular, prefabricated structures into the forest environment to provide guests with a unique retreat close to nature. The design for the shelters was based on the hotel's request for single-sided, double cabins dispersed throughout the forest surrounding the main building. The cabins are elevated on stilts, minimizing contact with the ground and allowing the landscape to flow continuously underneath. This approach avoided disturbing the natural terrain and the growth of tree roots. The shelters were carefully placed between existing trees, rather than clearing the forest, to ensure both privacy for guests and preservation of the natural surroundings. Each cabin is oriented to face away from others and towards an undisturbed view of either the forest or the nearby ski slope through large, floor-to-ceiling windows. Each cottage is made of two independent modules, functioning as separate apartments. A sliding partition wall allows for the living rooms to connect, creating a single larger space for families or larger groups. The exterior is clad in black-painted spruce to blend with the dark tones of the surrounding forest. The interiors feature light, minimalist materials, including spruce panels and oak floors, to create a warm and cozy atmosphere. Accommodation and wellness facilities The project includes eleven guest shelters and a wellness area. Guest cabins: Each of the 75-square-meter cottages is fully furnished and contains two independent apartments, with each apartment comprising a bedroom/living room, children's room, entrance hall, and bathroom. Wellness modules: The retreat also features a wellness facility consisting of four Ark-shelter modules configured to create saunas, relaxation rooms, and massage rooms for guests.

Studio Synthesis Architecture & Design 52 Baku, Podgorica, Montenegro 2007 Since Architecture Office 390.Jelovac House by Studio Synthesis Architecture & Design (1).jpg "Jelovac House, more formally known as Chalet Jelovac, is a multi-purpose family house completed in 2017 in Kolašin, Montenegro, and designed by Studio Synthesis Architecture & Design. Situated in the sensitive landscape near Park Forest in Dulovine Village at an altitude of 1000 meters, the home is a sustainable and resilient interpretation of a traditional mountain chalet, intended for year-round use. It serves as a holiday home for the architect's family, as well as a location for research and architectural workshops. The design is a response to the location's specific characteristics, including its lush forest and extreme weather conditions. The architectural concept blends traditional forms with modern design, and the structure is integrated into its surroundings with a compact form and a black roof. The exterior is clad in ""lučevine"" wood, which is locally sourced and was treated to withstand the elements. One of the most notable features is the use of adaptable shutters that, when closed, make the building resemble a ""haystack"" in winter, improving its thermal efficiency. The 300-square-meter house is designed across four levels, providing a dynamic mix of functions. Large glazed surfaces connect the indoor and outdoor spaces, framing views of the landscape, while the interior is filled with natural light. The basement and attic are dedicated to creative and research activities, while the ground floor contains the main living areas, including a living room, kitchen, and dining area. The upper floor features additional themed rooms with framed views. The chalet is also energy-efficient, with thick timber and aluminum walls and a sophisticated heating and cooling system.

DHPA Seoul, South Korea Since Architecture Office 119.INKYO by DHPA-Kiwoong Hong (1).jpg Completed in 2024, INKYO is a small, 49-square-meter house in Daegu, South Korea, designed by DHPA. Created as a vacation home for an elderly couple who often visit Daegu, the project provides a comfortable and familiar space for them and their visiting family. The house is situated on an elevated eastern side of the plot to maximize yard space on the western side, which faces a public park. The design is notable for its dynamic, sloping roof, which was chosen to both prevent leaks and create an open, airy interior. The roof is cut into sections to allow natural sunlight to enter the bedrooms and bathrooms on the south side, reducing the need for artificial lighting and causing the internal atmosphere to shift throughout the day. The high-ceilinged living room is positioned to overlook the yard and the trees in the park beyond, enhancing the sense of openness. The interior layout was designed to maximize the feeling of space, with an open flow between the living room, kitchen, dining area, and a lofted attic. This design creates a minimalist and cohesive living environment.

The 19.8-square-meter cabin was part of a broader project to provide additional housing for the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, with a focus on sustainable construction and a minimal footprint in a pristine natural setting. The exterior is defined by a black sheet metal cladding and a hipped roof, with large windows creating a dynamic contrast with the sunlight. This dark and angular form sets it apart from its surroundings while its small scale keeps the environmental impact low. The interior maximizes its small area by creating a double-height volume and utilizing a minimalist, fully wooden finish. A steep staircase doubles as a storage space, leading to a garret that houses a large bed. The simple interior features built-in elements, including a kitchen and bathroom.

Created as a vacation home for an elderly couple who often visit Daegu, the project provides a comfortable and familiar space for them and their visiting family. The house is situated on an elevated eastern side of the plot to maximize yard space on the western side, which faces a public park. The design is notable for its dynamic, sloping roof, which was chosen to both prevent leaks and create an open, airy interior. The roof is cut into sections to allow natural sunlight to enter the bedrooms and bathrooms on the south side, reducing the need for artificial lighting and causing the internal atmosphere to shift throughout the day. The high-ceilinged living room is positioned to overlook the yard and the trees in the park beyond, enhancing the sense of openness. The interior layout was designed to maximize the feeling of space, with an open flow between the living room, kitchen, dining area, and a lofted attic. This design creates a minimalist and cohesive living environment.

The 19.8-square-meter cabin was part of a broader project to provide additional housing for the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, with a focus on sustainable construction and a minimal footprint in a pristine natural setting. The exterior is defined by a black sheet metal cladding and a hipped roof, with large windows creating a dynamic contrast with the sunlight. This dark and angular form sets it apart from its surroundings while its small scale keeps the environmental impact low. The interior maximizes its small area by creating a double-height volume and utilizing a minimalist, fully wooden finish. A steep staircase doubles as a storage space, leading to a garret that houses a large bed. The simple interior features built-in elements, including a kitchen and bathroom. The interior is painted in a warm yellow, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The combination of a large bed in the loft, a built-in kitchen, and a small bathroom provides all the necessary amenities within a compact and efficient layout.

Located on the green slopes near Kumrovec in the Zagorje region of Croatia, the project transformed a dilapidated, decades-old cottage into a modern and organic living space that honors local heritage. The design reinterprets traditional cottage architecture by combining natural materials with a bold, contemporary intervention. The main architectural feature of the renovation is the addition of a sleek glass and aluminum cube that replaces the old porch and slides outwards from the main thatched volume. This addition serves as a dynamic entrance and a living area that is oriented to receive maximum southern exposure. With sliding glass walls, the cube blurs the lines between indoor and outdoor spaces and opens up to a new wooden terrace that appears to hover over the hillside, offering expansive views of the Zagorje landscape. The traditional cottage form was preserved, but the architects enhanced its material palette by using locally sourced, rustic materials. The original thatched roof was replaced with a new one that extends down over the façade, and the gables were re-clad with wood. This innovative use of straw, considered an archaic material, creates a warm and earthy exterior that contrasts with the minimalist glass cube. The renovation also preserved the cottage's original stone pedestal, grounding the updated structure in its history. A pathway made of tree stumps leads to the entrance, further connecting the home with its natural surroundings. Inside, the house is organized across three floors: a basement, a ground floor for common living spaces (leisure, dining, and cooking areas), and a first floor for the sleeping areas. The ground floor is arranged around a central ""hearth"" in the traditional Zagorje manner. This approach of reinterpreting traditional construction technologies and using local, renewable resources demonstrates a commitment to sustainable, low-impact design. The project has received recognition, including being shortlisted for a World Architecture Festival Award in 2015.
