HOSPITALITY | Wellness Resort Cabins | The Ziedlejas Wellness Resort in Latvia is a place where traditional Latvian heritage meets modern design and innovation. Designed by Riga-based architectural firm Open AD, the resort offers guests a tranquil and mindful retreat into nature. The project, which has been developed in a highly collaborative process with the owners and a landscape team, focuses on celebrating Latvian folklore and nature without compromising modern standards. The resort's cabins and saunas, with their thoughtful design and use of local materials, create an immersive experience that encourages rest, rejuvenation, and connection with one's surroundings. The Corten Steel and Glass Cabins In 2020, Open AD introduced three compact cabins to the hillside at Ziedlejas. Clad in contrasting Cor-Ten steel and glass, these structures offer an immersive experience by embedding guests directly into the landscape. The cabins were inspired by the "tiny living" movement and Japanese design, with the intent to create a minimalist, clutter-free space that facilitates a connection to nature. The multi-functional design includes a foldaway bed that can be stowed to make room for a tea table that pops up from the wood floor. A ladder leads to a mezzanine loft, providing additional sleeping space. The fully glazed fronts and roofs provide guests with panoramic, "full screen" views of the surrounding ponds, forests, and starry night skies. Interior details: The bathroom is discreetly tucked into the steel-clad portion of the cabin, and the interiors feature muted, natural tones of gray and cream. Special storage boxes are attached inside the door to encourage guests to remove their shoes upon entry. The Traditional and Contemporary Saunas A central element of the resort is the traditional Latvian sauna ritual, or pirts. Open AD designed several unique saunas, each offering a distinct experience. Glass Sauna (baltā pirts): Built into a hillside, this concrete-structured "white sauna" features a large glass facade that provides panoramic views of the ponds and surrounding landscape. It is situated close to a pond for a refreshing plunge. Smoke Sauna (melnā pirts): A more traditional sauna, the "black sauna" is constructed from red spruce and is hidden within the forest for a more primeval, secluded experience. Wool Sauna (aitas vilnas pirts): Completed in 2021, this sauna features an internal yurt-like canvas structure wrapped in wool, which releases lanolin when heated for its purported healing properties. The room is round and centered around a wood stove, and a winding walkway leading to it helps guests mentally prepare for the ritual.

RESIDENTIAL | Housing | Living Places Copenhagen, an experimental project by EFFEKT architects in collaboration with the VELUX Group, Artelia engineers, and Enemærke & Petersen contractors, was unveiled in April 2023 in Copenhagen's Jernbanebyen district. This prototype village demonstrates that it is already possible to build healthy, low-carbon, and affordable homes using readily available materials and existing construction techniques, rather than relying on future technology. The initiative was part of Copenhagen's tenure as UNESCO World Capital of Architecture in 2023. The project showcases seven full-scale prototypes, comprising five open pavilions and two complete, ready-to-live-in homes. These are built based on five key principles that aim to create homes that are healthy, affordable, simple, scalable, and adaptable over time. A comprehensive Life Cycle Assessment was conducted for each material, design, and building technique to carefully evaluate and minimize its environmental impact. The result is a total CO2 footprint nearly three times lower than that of an average Danish house, while also ensuring a first-class indoor climate. The two completed homes are a timber frame house, built with standard wood construction, and a cross-laminated timber (CLT) house. Both are designed with a focus on healthy indoor environments, optimizing daylight, thermal comfort, acoustics, and air quality. Natural ventilation is prioritized wherever possible. To ensure affordability, the designs focus on simple and efficient construction methods that do not add significant cost. The modular approach also allows for future scalability and adaptability to different settings. The project's design also features a focus on disassembly, so that the village can be deconstructed and rebuilt elsewhere after its initial 3–5-year test period, further extending the lifespan of the materials. The concept's long-term goal is to inspire and challenge the building industry to adopt more sustainable practices. After 88 days of occupation by 98 guests, the project collected valuable data on indoor climate and occupant experience, confirming that what is good for the planet can also greatly benefit people.

RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | CL02 Cabin is a 55-square-meter cabin designed by Bucharest-based Vinklu architecture and completed in 2025. Situated in the forested hillside of Valea lui Enache, Romania, the cabin was built upon the foundations and footprint of a previously failed structure and a small, family-built annex. This approach minimized the project's environmental impact by focusing on renewal rather than replacement. The design balances minimalist form with deep respect for its rural surroundings. The cabin is composed of a dark, angular form wrapped in blackened autoclaved timber, which helps it blend seamlessly into the forest. The layout is distributed across two floors, with the ground floor featuring a master bedroom and bathroom, along with a small terrace. The upper floor contains the main living areas—a lounge, kitchen, and dining area. This second level features a vaulted ceiling and expansive, panoramic windows that open toward the forest, creating a sense of expansiveness and a "cinematic" connection to the natural setting. Smaller windows on the ground floor enhance intimacy and privacy. A balcony extends the living area, and the staircase connecting the two floors visually reinforces the sense of openness. The minimalist palette of clean, neutral finishes throughout the interior directs focus to the surrounding nature. Sustainable features include efficient insulation, natural ventilation, and passive solar orientation to reduce mechanical intervention. The project has received recognition at the Bucharest Architecture Annual 2025. Credits Architect: Ștefan Păvăluță of Vinklu Inc.

HOSPITALITY | Prefabricated | GlamBOX is a compact, two-story accommodation module designed by Studio Officina82, a firm led by architects Fabio Revetria and Lara Sappa. Completed for the Selucente hospitality project in Garessio, Italy, the structure was inspired by the traditional barns and huts common in the rural Alpine landscape. Measuring 5 by 3 meters, the GlamBOX is crafted from chestnut wood and designed to combine rustic charm with an innovative function: providing guests with a unique, open-air stargazing experience. The ground floor of the GlamBOX features a bedroom and a bathroom. The most distinctive element is a bed mounted on a trolley system that allows it to be moved onto an external platform. This enables occupants to sleep directly under the stars, fully immersed in nature. A mezzanine level above provides additional space for relaxation, reading, or accommodating children.

RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | Designed by Austrian architect Christian Tonko and completed in 2022, Cabin MM01 is a modular and minimalist vacation home in the rural, alpine landscape of Carinthia, Austria. The 25-square-meter cabin, which is complemented by an equal-sized terrace, was created as a base for a couple to enjoy outdoor activities. The project is a testament to sustainable and flexible design, with a structure that is both easily transportable and leaves no lasting trace on its site. The cabin is a study in efficient and elegant micro-architecture, based on the standard dimensions and frames of shipping containers. Its name, "MM01," is a tribute to Malcolm McLean, the inventor of the modern shipping container. This design approach allows the cabin to be transported easily by a standard truck and installed on-site using removable screw foundations. When the cabin is relocated, the site can be fully restored to its original state. The compact 25-square-meter internal space is efficiently divided into four equally sized zones: a bedroom, a living/workspace, a kitchen, and a bathroom. An equally sized, covered terrace extends the living area outdoors, providing a shaded space to enjoy the surrounding forest. The terrace is oriented to the north for optimal shading and privacy. Expansive glazing lines the front of the cabin, connecting the interior with the outdoors and making the space feel larger than its physical footprint. The MM01 cabin combines high-quality, durable materials with clever space-saving techniques. While inspired by shipping containers, the cabin is built from specially constructed metal frames and highly insulated panels for superior thermal performance compared to typical metal containers. Despite its small size, the cabin features modern conveniences, including a full kitchen with a dishwasher and a washing machine. A desk with a foldaway screen can be pulled out from under the bed, transforming the area into an office when needed. Project credits Architect: Christian Tonko.

Expansive glazing lines the front of the cabin, connecting the interior with the outdoors and making the space feel larger than its physical footprint. The MM01 cabin combines high-quality, durable materials with clever space-saving techniques. While inspired by shipping containers, the cabin is built from specially constructed metal frames and highly insulated panels for superior thermal performance compared to typical metal containers. Despite its small size, the cabin features modern conveniences, including a full kitchen with a dishwasher and a washing machine. A desk with a foldaway screen can be pulled out from under the bed, transforming the area into an office when needed. Project credits Architect: Christian Tonko. Photography: Christian Brandstätter.

CULTURAL | Cultural center | The Nazarbayev Centre is the archive and library of the President of Kazakhstan located just off the central axis between the Presidential Palace and the Palace of Peace and Reconciliation. Its distinctive bowl-like form rises from the middle of a large formal landscaped garden, and is topped by a glass oculus spanning 90-metres, with views towards the Presidential Palace and gardens. The 20,000 square-metre building also holds the offices of the President’s Foundation, along with public event spaces, exhibition galleries and an auditorium. The building is orientated towards the north, directly facing the Presidential Palace, and its white marble façade is seemingly cut away to reveal a glass lens. Each piece of marble on the façade is only 15millimetres thick, to reduce the weight of the stone, which has then been laminated onto an aluminium honeycomb mesh to give it stability. The glazed roof is a shallow dome, supported by a steel frame and a steel ring beam that gives the structure its strength. Internally, the floors step back to reveal a large atrium at ground level. The study desks on the library floors face out onto the atrium, creating a dynamic, interactive space for research, similar to the practice’s earlier work on the Berlin Free University. The building’s orientation and form is a response to the sun’s path to limit the direct sunlight onto the glazed roof. The concrete walls are heavily insulated responding to extreme climatic conditions, with high-performance glass covering the roof. The roof structure was rigorously tested for snow loads, and has internal air cavities to prevent condensation and downdrafts in the atrium – this creates a comfortable microclimate within the building throughout the year and affords access to ample natural daylight. | https://static.wixstatic.com/media/9756fd_7c5e6c45fe154124a6e200d2798c155f~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1000,h_498,al_c,q_85/Nazarbayev%20Centre%20(1).jfif Please Wait Nazarbayev Centre (2).jfif Nazarbayev Centre (3).jfif Nazarbayev Centre (1).jfif 1/3 0 Product 1.9K Views 0 0 Pin Pin Private Public x Appreciators Appreciated Appreciate Please Log in Nazarbayev Centre Еңбекшілер көшесі 10, Astana 010000, Kazakhstan Architects: Foster + Partners Foster + Partners Architecture Office United Kingdom Area: Year: City: Client: 24,000 m2 2014 Astana Sembol Construction Construction: Category: CULTURAL Project Type: Cultural center Post Type: Building Country: Kazakhstan Photographers: the architects Description: The Nazarbayev Centre is the archive and library of the President of Kazakhstan located just off the central axis between the Presidential Palace and the Palace of Peace and Reconciliation.

RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | Completed in 2025, Cabin in Woods by Ediz Demirel Works is a 54-square-meter micro-cabin designed for short-term rental on the Kozak Plateau near Pergamon, in Izmir, Turkey. The cabin is situated on the existing dry stone terrace walls of an old vineyard, with a design that emphasizes the contrasting relationship between the structure and its natural landscape. This juxtaposition is a central theme, exploring the balance between blending into the rural environment and asserting a distinct architectural presence. The cabin’s structure is anchored by its base, a reinforced concrete slab cast into the existing dry stone wall. Above this foundation, a contrasting form emerges: a prefabricated steel frame and a tent-like shell clad in corten steel panels, chosen for their industrial aesthetic and ability to weather and patina over time. This tectonic opposition between the rugged stone and the precise steel frames a narrative of both belonging and estrangement. The assembly of the prefabricated parts was completed on-site, minimizing disruption to the landscape. Inside, the cabin is organized around a sunken central space—a contemporary interpretation of a conversation pit—embedded into the ground. This intimate, introspective area anchors the living space, creating a cozy and grounded social core. Auxiliary functions like wet areas and storage are arranged as linear extensions around this core. A mezzanine floor is tucked within the steel shell, providing space for sleeping and working. The interior is in constant dialogue with its surroundings through strategically placed openings. A singular horizontal cut in the shell frames a panoramic view of the forested hills, creating a powerful visual connection to the broader ecological context. Elsewhere, smaller, angular windows project outward from the facade, offering sculptural moments that mediate between the interior and exterior.

RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | Located on the banks of Lake Brome in the Eastern Townships of Quebec, Canada, the Lakeside Cabin (also known as Chalet Lakeside or Black Cabin) was designed by Montreal-based firm Atelier Schwimmer and completed in 2019. The 3,200-square-foot retreat was commissioned by two brothers, who wanted a gathering space to share their love for outdoor activities with friends and family. The design blends into its natural setting while offering a modern and inviting interior. The "canyon of hospitality": The heart of the cabin's design is a central atrium that soars three stories high. A prominent concrete fireplace anchors this space, making it a focal point visible from all levels and generating a sense of warmth and gathering. A bridge on the second floor traverses this void, connecting the private bedrooms and creating more communal space. The exterior of the cabin features a unique two-toned finish using larch wood. The exposed planks are charred using the traditional Japanese shou sugi ban method, while the recessed sections are protected with a natural oil. This interplay of dark and light enhances the cabin's striking appearance. Expansive windows and large sliding glass doors frame panoramic views of Lake Brome and the surrounding wooded landscape. The cabin is strategically positioned to take advantage of its urban-width site, which is squeezed between neighboring properties but opens up to an infinite lake view. The cabin is highly insulated and airtight, withstanding the region's cold winters, which can reach temperatures of -40°F (-40°C). The building was conceived as an "archetypal house," with a gabled roofline and multiple entrances, which helps it fit into the traditional character of the surrounding town. The interior material palette is a simple mix of concrete, wood, and glass. The ground floor, which includes the kitchen, dining room, and living room, is organized around the central fireplace. The second floor contains four bedrooms that open onto the bridge overlooking the central atrium. The cabin was designed to accommodate a range of leisure activities, including playing music, board games, and watching movies.

RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL | Mixed-Use | Located to the east of the River Garonne in Bordeaux, across from the city’s UNESCO World Heritage historic centre, Ilot Queyries, a courtyard apartment building providing 308 homes – including 163 for social housing – parking, commercial space, and a rooftop restaurant in an intimate urban setting with plenty of light, air, and a large collective green space. The project is envisaged as a test-bed for the principles of the neighbouring Bastide-Niel masterplan, also designed by MVRDV, which aims to combine the virtues of Bordeaux’s UNESCO World Heritage historic city – intimacy, surprise, and liveliness – with the density, ecology, light, and comfort of the modern city. Ilot Queyries thus adopts the same approach as the Bastide-Niel masterplan: the building fills the site to its boundaries, lending an intimate feeling to the streetscape, while the roofs are arranged into carefully calibrated slopes to provide maximum ventilation, daylight, and sun to the building itself and to its neighbours. The result, designed in partnership with local architects Flint, is a large, irregularly shaped courtyard building almost 200 metres long. At 5,200m2, the large courtyard provides a park-like space for the residents; located one storey above ground level, it also hides the residents’ parking below.

The project is envisaged as a test-bed for the principles of the neighbouring Bastide-Niel masterplan, also designed by MVRDV, which aims to combine the virtues of Bordeaux’s UNESCO World Heritage historic city – intimacy, surprise, and liveliness – with the density, ecology, light, and comfort of the modern city. Ilot Queyries thus adopts the same approach as the Bastide-Niel masterplan: the building fills the site to its boundaries, lending an intimate feeling to the streetscape, while the roofs are arranged into carefully calibrated slopes to provide maximum ventilation, daylight, and sun to the building itself and to its neighbours. The result, designed in partnership with local architects Flint, is a large, irregularly shaped courtyard building almost 200 metres long. At 5,200m2, the large courtyard provides a park-like space for the residents; located one storey above ground level, it also hides the residents’ parking below. The building responds to its surroundings on all sides: on the south-eastern end of the building, sections as low as one storey relate to the low-rise neighbours, while on the north-east, facing the river, it rises as high as nine storeys. At this high point, a glass crown houses a restaurant with views of the river and the historic centre of Bordeaux beyond.

CAMPING | Cabin | The Whitetail Woods Regional Park Camper Cabins, designed by HGA Architects and Engineers, are a collection of three distinctive rental cabins located in the 456-acre Whitetail Woods Regional Park in Farmington, Minnesota. The project was developed as part of the initial phase of the park's master plan and aimed to create accessible, affordable, and restorative overnight accommodations for park visitors. Inspired by the concept of a treehouse, the cabins are elevated on wooded hillsides, with access provided by bridges that connect directly from adjacent hiking and ski trails. Designed to blend seamlessly with the natural environment, the cabins feature natural cedar cladding and are oriented to maximize views of the forest and prairie. Each cabin offers sleeping space for up to six people, with a combination of bunk beds and daybeds. While they do not have running water, the cabins are equipped with electricity, heating, and lighting, allowing for comfortable year-round use. Amenities include a picnic table and fire ring outside, while shared restroom facilities are located nearby. The design emphasizes a connection to nature, encouraging guests to enjoy the peaceful surroundings with limited modern distractions. The project has received significant recognition, including a 2016 American Architectural Award sponsored by the Chicago Athenaeum and the European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies. This award acknowledged the innovative design that integrates with the wooded site while making camping accessible to a wider audience, including those with special access needs. The cabins have been a popular addition to the park, with reservations often needing to be made well in advance.

RESIDENTIAL | ADU | The Granny Pad, by Seattle-based Best Practice Architecture, is an innovative accessory dwelling unit (ADU) created from a converted backyard garage. Completed in 2018, the 571-square-foot project offers a solution for multigenerational living in cities with limited housing options, providing a safe, accessible, and private home for an aging family member. The project was designed with both immediate and future needs in mind. To accommodate the decreased mobility of the elderly family member, the entire living area was designed on a single level. The layout flows seamlessly from the entry and kitchen to the bedroom and bathroom. To prevent the small space from feeling cramped, the design incorporates a number of strategies to increase the perception of volume. Exposed rafters emphasize the high ceilings, and strategically placed skylights and windows flood the While the design is currently optimized for a single occupant, the architects considered its long-term potential. The lofted area above the bathroom, currently used for storage, could be converted into an office, a sleeping space, or a creative studio in the future. This adaptability future-proofs the investment and offers flexible housing options for the family. The architects creatively worked with the site's natural six-foot slope, building the Granny Pad into the hill. This allowed for the inclusion of a lofted space and a private back deck connecting to the unit. The Granny Pad is a thoughtful and functional conversion that makes the most of its small footprint. The garage door was removed and the original garage structure now serves as the entry, kitchen, and sitting room. The floor plan places the private areas—the bedroom, bathroom, and laundry—at the rear of the unit. A small, secluded deck and garden area provides a private outdoor retreat for the resident.

RESIDENTIAL | House | Completed in 2023, the House in Nishizaki is a private residence located on reclaimed land in Okinawa, Japan, and designed by Studio Cochi Architects for a family of three. Situated within a dense and mixed-use urban landscape, the 91-square-meter concrete house was conceived as an "urban oasis" that provides a tranquil, private living environment while adapting to Okinawa's humid climate and typhoon-prone conditions. To achieve privacy and buffer the inhabitants from the bustling surroundings, Studio Cochi Architects enclosed the house in a fortress-like shell of thick, exposed concrete walls, minimizing exterior-facing windows. Instead of relying on conventional windows, the architects integrated two north-south oriented courtyards and a skylight to draw in natural light and promote ventilation. The north-facing courtyard, with its gradual buffer zone, connects with a tatami room and the main entrance, while the south-facing courtyard creates a thick, solid buffer from the busy commercial district. The house's interior is defined by a raw and minimalist aesthetic, with the concrete shell left exposed, complemented by precise geometric compositions and lines. The ground floor contains public areas, such as the living room, kitchen, and tatami room, and the upper floor is reserved for more private spaces, including the bedrooms and bathrooms. The staircase leading to the upper floor is wider than typical to serve as a secondary seating area. By carefully controlling the interplay of light and solid surfaces, Studio Cochi Architects created a series of intimate, serene spaces that offer refuge from the chaotic urban environment.
