  • Mt Kanimbla Retreats Hilltop Cabin | - | ZHIG

    RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | The Hilltop Cabin at Mt Kanimbla Retreats, located in Kanimbla, Sydney, Australia, is an architectural gem that masterfully combines modern luxury with the breathtaking beauty of the Australian bush. Originally built in the 1970s, the cabins underwent renovations in 2019 to infuse each one with a unique aesthetic inspired by the southwestern style of American log cabins, while incorporating the rich palette of the World Heritage Listed Blue Mountains. Its design reflects the warmth and texture of rugged mountain cabins, featuring an interior that is deeply connected to nature through rich earthy tones, native timbers, and soft, natural finishes. Expansive windows invite the outside in, framing picturesque views of eucalyptus-dusted ridgelines and the ever-changing skies of the Blue Mountains. The inclusion of a freestanding stone bath and a wood-burning fireplace enhances the retreat's ambience, providing an ideal space for relaxation after a day spent exploring the surrounding wilderness. The cabin offers guests dramatic escarpment views and peaceful, untouched bushland. With golden light at sunrise and mist settling across the fields, it feels remote and restorative—an ideal escape for nature lovers, hikers, and anyone looking for a serene mountain retreat.

  • DENISON RIVULET | Taylor and Hinds | ZHIG

    RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | A series of cabins - these structures provide accommodation for couples at the bend of river, just north of Bicheno. The buildings establish a strong engagement with the wider site, through a series of interior strategies and plan relationships that create unique and memorable experiences for guests. The compact massing of the exterior form belies a complex and surprising interior structure – heightened by the materiality of the rooms. Connections to the wider site are made to focus certain landscape qualities, which serve to background the occupation of the rooms. The sense of interiority is most strongly experienced in the most intimate parts of the plan, where detailing sets a relief for the seasonal inhabitation of the interiors.

  • The Offset Adu Residence | Byben (Ben Warwas) | ZHIG

    RESIDENTIAL | ADU | The Offset ADU is a 933-square-foot back house designed by Los Angeles-based architecture firm Byben, led by Ben Warwas. Completed in 2024, the project is a dramatic conversion of a one-car garage in the Mar Vista neighborhood. Rather than expand the main house for their growing family, the clients opted for an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) to add a media room and an extra bedroom/office, revitalizing their entire backyard in the process. The project's most striking feature, its "offset" second story, is a creative solution to site-specific challenges. The upper level is shifted a few feet from the ground floor to accommodate overhead power lines and adhere to zoning regulations, which was used to the project's advantage. This strategic offset gives the building its unique, dynamic profile while also creating a covered front entrance and a roof deck on the second level. The sculptural form and playful geometry make the interior feel much larger than its 890 square feet, according to architect Ben Warwas. The exterior features a contrast of materials, with the two facades visible from the property clad in a striking ipe rainscreen siding, while the other sides are finished with smooth stucco. The ADU divides the formerly underutilized backyard into three new, diverse spaces: a deck connecting the ADU to the main house, a rear yard, and a side yard. The interior features some curved walls, a choice that helps soften the feel of the structure despite its proximity to the main house. The main floor is a flexible, open space for the kitchen, dining, and living areas. The upstairs houses a versatile L-shaped room that functions as both an office and a bedroom, complete with a Murphy bed. A U-shaped window in the bedroom/office extends above the ceiling line with a mirrored soffit, creating a surreal feeling of infinite height and a continuous connection to the sky.

  • Holiday House Aulina | Oliver Christen Architekten | ZHIG

    RESIDENTIAL | Tiny Home | Nestled into a sloping, forested site in the Swiss Alps, the Holiday House Aulina is a compact and refined 53-square-meter cabin designed by Oliver Christen Architekten. 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.

  • Nisser Micro Cabin | Feste Landskap Arkitektur | ZHIG

    RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | The Nisser Micro Cabin is a 26-square-meter residential prototype designed by Feste Landskap / Arkitektur and completed in 2017. It is located in Nissedal, a municipality in the Telemark region of Norway, on the banks of Lake Nisser. Commissioned by Smarte Hytter AS, a local cabin developer, the project was intended as a sustainable and compact alternative to the trend of large, luxurious holiday homes that are common in Norway. The architects' ultimate goal is to develop a floating version of the cabin, but due to local planning restrictions on Lake Nisser, the prototype was built on stilts on the shore. The design of the cabin maximizes the user's connection to the surrounding landscape. A large, glazed facade between the main living area and a covered terrace blurs the line between indoor and outdoor space, creating a seamless link to the lake and landscape. The exterior is clad in thermally treated pinewood, a sustainable and chemical-free material that gives the cabin a natural, integrated feel within its environment. This exterior cladding also has integrated gutters and downpipes, which creates clean, expressive facades. The compact, 26-square-meter floor plan includes a small mezzanine loft for sleeping, with a total capacity to accommodate up to seven people. The module is connected to electricity, water, and sewage via a flexible pipe that enters from beneath, a system designed to be compatible with a future floating version.

  • Magnolia Eco-Cabin | Michael Quirk Design LLC | ZHIG

    RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | The Magnolia Eco-Cabin, designed by architect Michael Quirk, is a compact, 11-square-meter (120-square-foot), net-zero-carbon cabin located in the forest near Nederland, Colorado. The project was conceived while Quirk served on the Colorado Green Building Guild board, aiming to showcase carbon-negative and net-zero energy building techniques and materials from the guild's members. Built to be a sustainable and off-grid retreat, the cabin is a testament to resourceful building. Much of the structure is made from locally sourced materials and reused components. For insulation, Quirk used hemp wool and hempcrete. The exterior is finished with a variety of woods, including locally sourced birch plywood that has been charred using the Japanese Shou Sugi Ban method for enhanced durability. Reused metal panels, doors, and windows were also incorporated into the design. The interior of the micro-cabin is a simple, two-room, two-floor space for barebones living. A light-filled living area on the lower floor features a fireplace and a bench for firewood storage. Storage-integrated stairs and a ladder lead to a lofted sleeping area. The cabin is powered by rooftop solar panels, providing it with a renewable energy source that supports its off-grid lifestyle.

  • House MM | Chris Collaris Architects | ZHIG

    RESIDENTIAL | House | House MM, designed by Chris Collaris Architects and completed in 2017, is a sustainable and minimalist dwelling in the north of Amsterdam, Netherlands. Working within the tight 60-square-meter footprint of a dilapidated brick house, the architects created a modern and deceptively spacious three-level home that prioritizes natural light, clean lines, and an integrated indoor-outdoor experience. The design of House MM is a masterclass in maximizing space within a small area while adhering to a passive-building philosophy. The structure's asymmetrical, steeply pitched roof is cantilevered, increasing the upper-level ceiling height and creating an extra mezzanine and attic, which adds to the perceived spaciousness of the interior. The exterior is entirely clad in blackened, wax-conserved pine, giving the home a sculptural, minimalist appearance. Details like the roof edges and gutters are integrated to keep the lines as clean as possible, creating a seamless, monolithic form. The design embraces passive building technology. The facades and roof are constructed with high-density insulated sandwich panels—materials typically used in large industrial buildings but tailored here for a smaller residential application. Full-height glazing at the rear of the house opens onto a terrace and garden, visually and physically extending the interior space outdoors. In a nod to the home's history, bricks from the original house were salvaged and reused to create a central core in the interior, anchoring the design in its past. A refined palette of materials enhances the home's contemporary feel while retaining a warm, natural character. Wax-conserved and black-stained pinewood was used for the facade and roof, providing a low-maintenance, elegant finish. Salvaged interior bricks form a central core, which houses a staircase and divides the living, kitchen, and dining areas. Birch multiplex cabinetry and built-in units are used for storage throughout the house. Polished concrete provides a sleek, modern, and durable finish. The central stair void, topped by a skylight, allows natural light to filter down and maximize the brightness of the ground floor.

  • Petit Place | RoosRos Architecten | ZHIG

    RESIDENTIAL | Modular House | Petit Place is an entirely modular and sustainably constructed tiny house project designed by the Dutch firm RoosRos Architecten in 2018. It was conceived as a self-sufficient and customizable housing solution based on the open-source WikiHouse principle, allowing for easy, do-it-yourself assembly using a kit of milled wooden elements. The design is highly flexible, with floor plans ranging from a compact 25 square meters up to 1,000 square meters, allowing occupants to adapt the space to their specific needs. The core concept emphasizes the ability to "live wherever you please," with the structure being suitable for various locations, from cities and villages to fields and waterfronts. The prototype of the project is a 40-square-meter model located next to the water tower in Zwijndrecht, Netherlands, which offers views of the three-rivers-point. Sustainability is a key feature of Petit Place. The prototype model's exterior is clad in solar panels that can generate approximately 9,000 kWh annually, which is three times more energy than the tiny house is expected to consume. This cladding system, dubbed the "Powerplant," also insulates the building and uses breathable Gore-Tex foil to protect it from the elements. Other exterior options include a "Green Machine" version covered in vegetation and a "Zero Waste" option made from reclaimed wood. The design uses natural, high-performance materials throughout, such as ISO flax insulation. According to architect Stefan de Vos, the goal was to create a sustainable home that "gives something back" to the user and the planet, providing a healthy living environment and low monthly utility bills.

  • House ½ | dot and associates | ZHIG

    RESIDENTIAL | Tiny Home | Designed by dot and associates and completed in 2020, House ½ is a 45-square-meter family home located in Taiwan. Built using a tongue and groove technique in cooperation with a carpentry factory in Kochi, Japan, the construction and interior living requirements were completed in just six weeks. The project's name comes from the philosophy of leaving the house "half empty" instead of cramming it with possessions, thereby focusing on sensory experiences and connections with the natural environment. The home is located on a heavily forested site, designed to integrate with the landscape without removing trees. A white pavilion near a temple at the entrance provides a resting area for visitors. The house is intended to be adaptable and transformative, promoting an "offline life" and connection to the outdoors with features like movable furniture, a barbecue grill that functions as a kitchen, and camping chairs for the living room. The interior has an open-plan layout, with a small loft above the main living area for sleeping. A large central pillar in front of the foyer supports the home and is meant to symbolize family unity. The roof was deliberately left exposed to the elements to assess its resilience in Taiwan's climate. Camphor wood chips surrounding the cabin provide fragrance and deter insects. The house is designed to withstand typhoons and requires only human assembly.

  • Ecological Holiday Home | POLYGOON Architectuur | ZHIG

    RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | The Ecological Holiday Home is a 70-square-meter retreat in Brasschaat, Belgium, designed by POLYGOON Architectuur for clients Wim and Joosie. Completed in 2020, the project's primary goal was to create a comfortable, low-impact holiday house that would blend as much as possible into its forest surroundings. The design is defined by its strong ecological principles, using renewable, biodegradable, and recyclable materials in a circular construction process. The house is supported by 11 slender poles, allowing the structure to "float" about half a meter above the forest floor, minimizing its physical and visual footprint. This foundation system means the house can be moved in its entirety, with the option to add two extra poles for a terrace. The cabin's form is an organic pentagonal plan with three obtuse corners, giving it a soft, non-intrusive character in the woods. It features a single-pitch roof that reaches a height of 7 meters at the rear, creating a sense of spaciousness within the compact footprint. The wooden skeleton was prefabricated and assembled in just five days, with the clients themselves contributing to the exterior cladding and interior finishes. The exterior is clad with locally sourced, barked larch planks over fiberboard, and the interior uses oriented strand board (OSB) panels. Energy efficiency is a key feature, with the house so well-insulated that a single wood stove is sufficient for heating. An air-source heat pump was also installed to heat sanitary water efficiently. Recovered and recycled materials were used for the kitchen and bathroom furnishings.

  • Fritidsbolig, Slevik | Eirik Rønning Andersen, ZIS AS | ZHIG

    RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | Constructed in 2023, the Fritidsbolig, Slevik is a vacation home situated along a quiet residential street in the coastal village of Slevik, Norway. The project involved replacing a smaller, traditional 1950s cabin with a more functional, modern holiday home. Architect Eirik Rønning Andersen of ZIS AS designed the new cabin, drawing inspiration from the area's older architectural traditions. The design uses traditional building methods, featuring white-painted batten cladding and a roof pitch similar to historical buildings in the region. The roof eaves are minimal, giving the structure a clean, contemporary appearance. A key feature of the house is the strategic placement of windows to create visual connections, maximize views, and allow natural light to fill the interiors. This intentional use of light makes the interior feel expansive and spacious. Inside, the home is characterized by light-colored wood, creating a warm, airy atmosphere. In contrast, the kitchen features dark, lacquered benches and cabinets. The interior space is divided into different levels by a series of steps, with a raised living area situated above the bedrooms and bathroom. The main living space extends the full length of the cabin, stretching from gable to gable. The design also incorporates several custom-built details, including a site-specific staircase connecting the different levels and slatted wooden sections that add screening and depth.

  • Residential Barn | BE Architektur | ZHIG

    RESIDENTIAL | House | The Residential Barn is a 215 m² residential project located in the rural Reppischtal region, near Zurich, Switzerland. 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.

  • Garden Room | Wilkinson King Architects | ZHIG

    RESIDENTIAL | Annex | Completed in 2024, the Garden Room by Wilkinson King Architects is a detached, 24-square-meter private annex located in the garden of a Grade II listed Victorian house in Stockwell, south London. The project was commissioned by the client to provide a home for their mother who had moved to the city to be near family. Built on the site of a former raised terrace, the new structure is designed to harmonize with its garden setting. The design is sensitive to its surroundings, particularly the large tree canopy that provides protection for the small building. The exterior is clad in charred timber (shou sugi ban), which takes on the dark tones of its environment and provides protection from the elements. The form is characterized by a rectilinear elevation contrasted by a large, circular, moon-like opening. A pergola structure acts as an intermediate threshold between the shared garden and the interior. This space can be screened for privacy by sliding lattice panels that mask the full-width glazing. The interior of the single-room space is designed to feel bright and open. Birch plywood wall linings give a soft, warm feel, while Douglas fir flooring provides an organic texture. The roof features exposed diagonal joists, reminiscent of tree branches, and circular skylights cast dappled light onto the floor and provide views of the tree canopy above. A full-height cupboard divides the space to create a separate shower room while maintaining visual continuity of the ceiling. The highly sustainable design features excellent insulation, electric underfloor heating, and natural light and ventilation. The dry-construction technology is fully reversible, as the structure is built on small screw piles that can be easily removed.

The project was commissioned by the client to provide a home for their mother who had moved to the city to be near family. Built on the site of a former raised terrace, the new structure is designed to harmonize with its garden setting. The design is sensitive to its surroundings, particularly the large tree canopy that provides protection for the small building. The exterior is clad in charred timber (shou sugi ban), which takes on the dark tones of its environment and provides protection from the elements.
