RESIDENTIAL | Summer House | Completed in 2015, Summerhouse T is a compact, 40-square-meter retreat located in the Stockholm archipelago, Sweden. Designed by Krupinski/Krupinska Arkitekter, the small house was created for a family of two adults and two children who needed more space, as the original summer house on the site had become too small. Situated on a former gardener's plot, the design respects the site's history and integrates with existing rock formations and greenery. To accommodate the family's needs within the small footprint, the architects designed a single large square room with a freestanding central volume. This core volume efficiently incorporates a kitchen, storage, and four beds into its design. The open-plan layout and floor-to-ceiling windows on all sides create a surprisingly spacious feeling and provide a strong connection to the surrounding nature. Sliding glass walls can be opened during summer, extending the living space outdoors and allowing for a pleasant breeze to flow through the house. The color palette is deliberately dark for both the exterior and interior, enhancing the building's intimate character and directing focus toward the picturesque views. The exterior is clad in black Falu Rödfärg, a traditional Swedish color, allowing the house to recede into the forest. The single door leads to the bathroom, a separate volume adapted to fit into a gap in the nearby rock formation, which further maximizes interior space. The house was nominated for the Private House Prize in 2016 by the Swedish Association of Architects.

RESIDENTIAL | Summer House | The 600-square-foot Cabin K, also known as Saimaa Cabin, is a summer retreat in Finland designed by Seattle-based Studio Kamppari and completed around 2016. 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.

RESIDENTIAL | House | Lang 靚 is a new double storey house in South Yarra, Melbourne, that reflects the owners’ vision for “a wellness-enhancing home that is architectural and inspirational.” The result of exploring “a different sort of mindset,” the design purposely avoids hallways and corridors and instead maximises potential for open space, natural light and greenery, on a relatively small inner-city sized block. Arranged around three distinct garden zones with large openings, the connections between internal and external spaces are interwoven; providing the inhabitants (a family of four) with an ‘airy calmness’, to pursue the things they love - reading, cooking, socialising and kicking a ball in the backyard. With the focus on creativity, efficiency and unique storage solutions, Lang celebrates clutter-free living and ‘forever home’ adaptability. Beyond the equitone cladding and fluted glass frontage the internal space is voluminous and bright, with kitchen, dining and living room expanding the full length, while the width incorporates an internal courtyard garden. A soaring and sculptural curved timber ‘tree-trunk’ contains bathrooms above and below, while the entry features a pull-down Murphy bed, concealed storage and privacy curtains, to pivot as a guest bedroom. Upstairs there is a dedicated laundry and outdoor drying zone, two bedrooms and a bathroom, and a main bedroom, with walk in robe and ensuite. A multipurpose rumpus room occupies the area in between, serving as a playroom for the owner’s two young children, with future potential as a study, teenage hangout or parents’ retreat. THE BRIEF The owners provided a thorough and well-researched brief; specific in their goals, aware of the site limitations and encouraging creative solutions and architectural flair. They were “determined” to live in a home without hallways and corridors,” to avoid feeling boxed or compartmentalised and to circumvent poor ventilation and heat retention in summer. They asked for their home to be highly pragmatic and efficient - in energy, cost and use of space, but also to show uniqueness and creativity. To make “something different.” They wanted multi-functionality, an abundance of natural light and a connection to greenery in every room, as well as a reading nook, concealed study, hidden pantry, lots of storage and a garage (to fit one car and four bicycles). Their suggestions included curved elements, playing with light and shadow, contrasting textures (such as wood and concrete) and creating a void between the two storeys. The owners summarised their brief in three words: ‘Wellbeing. Efficiency. Inspirational.’ TOUGH ON THE OUTSIDE Lang’s external structure is deliberately austere and resilient, befitting its location on a residential street just off the busy main thoroughfare of Punt Road. Clad in durable, anti graffiti, heat resistant equitone, the form is rectilinear grey boxes with sharp edges. The equitone sheet is arranged in a chevron pattern, visually striking and tactile, the owners say “people frequently stop to take photos and touch the walls.” In Chinese and Cantonese, Lang 靚 means ‘pretty’. DELIBERATIVE DESIGN Massed on the western side of the site, the house steps down to the east to protect the neighbour’s light and garden. Analysing and assessing exisiting conditions generated much of the form - the intelligent reaction was to concentrate the height and mass against the adjoining neighbouring bulk on boundary. A slight gradient on the site, sloping from back to front, also leant itself to an internal level change that defines the edge of the living area and becomes a perfect seat (45cm high) in the kitchen and garden. A large fluted glass panel was incorporated into the sheet cement facade, to provide privacy and passive surveillance, whilst allowing for an abundance of natural light. At the rear of the house, the second level (main bedroom) deliberately extends half a metre further out, to provide passive solar shade for the lounge area beneath. SOFT CENTRE In contrast to the tough exterior, the interior is softened by natural timber and tonal materials, lush foliage and gentle curves. A soaring and sculptural timber ‘tree-trunk’ contains the bathrooms above and below, linking the two spaces and creating cohesion. The ground floor area is open plan but subtly nuanced, gently pinched by the bathroom and an internal garden, which is enhanced and magnified with the use of mirror. The garden downstairs is reflected upstairs in the beautiful green ‘Amazon Depths’ (Dulux) colour of the inbuilt cabinetry in the main bedroom. MAXIMISING SPACE The owners were originally concerned that their small inner city block wouldn’t be large enough to create the home they envisaged. To maximise the space horizontally and vertically, large windows and openings were used on three sides while a void was created along the fourth wall. A white perforated steel section of stair continues the transparency of the void, allowing for a further increase in air circulation and volume. With large openings at each end, the garage is an extension of the ground floor space, with budget allocated to the ground material. Rather than a standard slab, concrete sleepers create a flow to extend the courtyard and entertaining area through to the street. A considered extension of space. DETAIL AND CONSIDERATION Architectural involvement in any project is typically evidenced in the detail, and certainly at Lang every detail was thoroughly considered. From the circular light fittings veneered in the same timber as the staircase and cabinetry; to the chevron grey tiles in the ensuite which reference the texture, pattern and colour of exterior facade; to the bedroom light fittings custom powered-coated in soft peach, picking up the colour of the bathroom vanity. There are curved details that add coherence and uniformity, overtly used in the curvature of the timber clad bathroom, the bow of the concrete step, the curtain rail privacy screens and the island bench, and more discreetly in the shape of the shower hand rail and custom cut mirror. Many of the considerations had logic, such as siting the laundry upstairs, closer to the bedrooms and bathrooms. Where a setback was required on the western boundary we created a small balcony directly off the laundry, ideal for an outdoor clothes line and a place, out of sight, to efficiently stack all the services. Though deliberately open plan there are two areas within the ground floor layout that can be curtained off to allow for privacy when required - a reading/study corner and guest accomodation with double bed and dedicated storage. Responding to the brief for clutter-free flexibility, a number of elements are secret, concealed or detailed to appear as flush wall panels. In the entry wall there is a secret door to the garage, and also a concealed cupboard for storing coats, shoes and bags. Within the kitchen /living cabinetry, beside the usual integrated white goods, there is a dedicated wine store, an appliances bench and a sizeable study with shelving and inbuilt desk. Another highly considered detail is the steel support column, brought inside to avoid disrupting the fluted glass window at the front of the house. Appearing more ladder than column by design, it serves an open shelf, for keys and trailing plants. Upstairs, where the need for bedrooms meant ‘cells’ could not be avoided, the doors are full height, floor to ceiling, to create the sense and feeling of having no corridors.

The equitone sheet is arranged in a chevron pattern, visually striking and tactile, the owners say “people frequently stop to take photos and touch the walls.” In Chinese and Cantonese, Lang 靚 means ‘pretty’. DELIBERATIVE DESIGN Massed on the western side of the site, the house steps down to the east to protect the neighbour’s light and garden. Analysing and assessing exisiting conditions generated much of the form - the intelligent reaction was to concentrate the height and mass against the adjoining neighbouring bulk on boundary. A slight gradient on the site, sloping from back to front, also leant itself to an internal level change that defines the edge of the living area and becomes a perfect seat (45cm high) in the kitchen and garden. A large fluted glass panel was incorporated into the sheet cement facade, to provide privacy and passive surveillance, whilst allowing for an abundance of natural light. At the rear of the house, the second level (main bedroom) deliberately extends half a metre further out, to provide passive solar shade for the lounge area beneath. SOFT CENTRE In contrast to the tough exterior, the interior is softened by natural timber and tonal materials, lush foliage and gentle curves. A soaring and sculptural timber ‘tree-trunk’ contains the bathrooms above and below, linking the two spaces and creating cohesion. The ground floor area is open plan but subtly nuanced, gently pinched by the bathroom and an internal garden, which is enhanced and magnified with the use of mirror. The garden downstairs is reflected upstairs in the beautiful green ‘Amazon Depths’ (Dulux) colour of the inbuilt cabinetry in the main bedroom. MAXIMISING SPACE The owners were originally concerned that their small inner city block wouldn’t be large enough to create the home they envisaged. To maximise the space horizontally and vertically, large windows and openings were used on three sides while a void was created along the fourth wall. A white perforated steel section of stair continues the transparency of the void, allowing for a further increase in air circulation and volume. With large openings at each end, the garage is an extension of the ground floor space, with budget allocated to the ground material. Rather than a standard slab, concrete sleepers create a flow to extend the courtyard and entertaining area through to the street. A considered extension of space. DETAIL AND CONSIDERATION Architectural involvement in any project is typically evidenced in the detail, and certainly at Lang every detail was thoroughly considered. From the circular light fittings veneered in the same timber as the staircase and cabinetry; to the chevron grey tiles in the ensuite which reference the texture, pattern and colour of exterior facade; to the bedroom light fittings custom powered-coated in soft peach, picking up the colour of the bathroom vanity. There are curved details that add coherence and uniformity, overtly used in the curvature of the timber clad bathroom, the bow of the concrete step, the curtain rail privacy screens and the island bench, and more discreetly in the shape of the shower hand rail and custom cut mirror. Many of the considerations had logic, such as siting the laundry upstairs, closer to the bedrooms and bathrooms. Where a setback was required on the western boundary we created a small balcony directly off the laundry, ideal for an outdoor clothes line and a place, out of sight, to efficiently stack all the services. Though deliberately open plan there are two areas within the ground floor layout that can be curtained off to allow for privacy when required - a reading/study corner and guest accomodation with double bed and dedicated storage. Responding to the brief for clutter-free flexibility, a number of elements are secret, concealed or detailed to appear as flush wall panels. In the entry wall there is a secret door to the garage, and also a concealed cupboard for storing coats, shoes and bags. Within the kitchen /living cabinetry, beside the usual integrated white goods, there is a dedicated wine store, an appliances bench and a sizeable study with shelving and inbuilt desk. Another highly considered detail is the steel support column, brought inside to avoid disrupting the fluted glass window at the front of the house. Appearing more ladder than column by design, it serves an open shelf, for keys and trailing plants. Upstairs, where the need for bedrooms meant ‘cells’ could not be avoided, the doors are full height, floor to ceiling, to create the sense and feeling of having no corridors.

MULTI-FUNCTIONAL | Cabin | The Wauhaus Cabin is a minimalist, 20-square-meter retreat designed and built by the Hungarian studio Hello Wood. Completed in 2021, the cabin is situated on a steep hillside in the Zala County hills of Hungary, appearing to float above the ground on stilts of varying lengths. The playful design, inspired by treehouses, offers a new perspective on the surrounding landscape and functions as a guest house, study, or glamping accommodation. The exterior is clad in graphite gray larch planking, creating a contemporary, clean look that contrasts with the warm interior. A narrow bridge provides access to the entrance, where it widens to form a small terrace. Inside, the space is completely covered in natural birch plywood, with oak flooring, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. A key feature is the large, floor-to-ceiling window at one end, which acts as a "fourth wall" and allows the landscape to define the mood of the interior by projecting different colors and light throughout the seasons. Additional round windows add a playful element to the design. Despite its compact size, the Wauhaus features a small kitchenette, and sliding birch plywood doors conceal the bathroom and cabinet, maximizing the use of the limited space. True to Hello Wood's focus on sustainable and durable construction, the cabin is built with eco-friendly materials and is designed for all-season use, promising to last for decades.

SHELTERS | Hut | The On Mountain Hut was a sustainable, zero-impact retreat designed by Thilo Alex Brunner, head of design at Swiss running brand On. 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.

RESIDENTIAL | Tiny Home | Perched on a steep, challenging site in Redcliffs, Christchurch, the Augusta Treehouse by Performance Architecture is a compact and energy-efficient two-bedroom home. Designed to feel like a "treehouse," the 65-square-meter dwelling, which has a footprint roughly the size of a double garage, was conceived for a couple committed to simple, compact living. The house maximizes its connection to the dramatic landscape through large feature windows that frame views over the treetops to the Ihutai estuary and the Heathcote and Avon Rivers below. The design of the Augusta Treehouse prioritized energy efficiency and a low-impact construction process. It was constructed with Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs), which, combined with the building's compact form, create a well-insulated thermal envelope that requires very little heating. The interior features a warm, cozy feel, with the SIPs and timber tones left exposed on the walls, roof, and floor panels. To further enhance energy performance and privacy, polycarbonate panels were used in the stairwell, allowing soft, south-facing light to filter in. The house also includes a mechanical heat recovery ventilation system due to its airtight construction. The main living areas, including the kitchen, dining, and laundry, are located on the lower level, while the two bedrooms and a bathroom are situated on an open mezzanine. A skylight above the main bedroom can be opened to purge excess heat during the summer. The thoughtful design, from the efficient use of space to the sustainable material choices, earned the Augusta Treehouse a Highly Commended Award for New Home up to 150m² and a Regional Kaitiakitanga Award at the 2024 Architectural Designers New Zealand (ADNZ) awards.

HOTELS | Lodge | The Bergaliv Landscape Hotel, a project by architect Hanna Michelson, is a secluded, minimalist retreat in the foothills of the Åsberget mountains in Vallsta, northern Sweden. Completed in 2017, the hotel consists of a series of elevated wooden cabins designed to offer guests solitude and tranquility while minimizing their impact on the environment. Michelson, who also works for Tham & Videgård Arkitekter, was commissioned to create the cabins, which draw inspiration from traditional Swedish and Japanese design philosophies. The first cabin, known as Lofthuset ("the loft house"), was followed by the Söderloftet in 2021, and additional hideaways are planned. To reduce its visual impact and respect the landscape, each cabin is built on tall stilts that raise it above the ground and allow it to sway gently in the wind. This positioning gives guests a "high above the tree tops" view of the Ljusnan River valley below. The design is built around a concept of duality, with two contrasting spaces. The lower level of the 10-meter-tall structure is a compact, insulated space housing a combined living and sleeping area. This level features a wooden bench for resting and futon mattresses that can be hung on the wall to maximize space. Above, the upper level is an open-air deck with a gabled pinewood roof, offering uninterrupted views of the surrounding scenery and functioning as a peaceful vantage point. The cabins are constructed using a palette of natural materials. The exterior is clad in heart-pine and spruce wood, allowing the structures to blend into the forest, while the interior features pale birch plywood and ash.

Completed in 2017, the hotel consists of a series of elevated wooden cabins designed to offer guests solitude and tranquility while minimizing their impact on the environment. Michelson, who also works for Tham & Videgård Arkitekter, was commissioned to create the cabins, which draw inspiration from traditional Swedish and Japanese design philosophies. The first cabin, known as Lofthuset ("the loft house"), was followed by the Söderloftet in 2021, and additional hideaways are planned. To reduce its visual impact and respect the landscape, each cabin is built on tall stilts that raise it above the ground and allow it to sway gently in the wind. This positioning gives guests a "high above the tree tops" view of the Ljusnan River valley below. The design is built around a concept of duality, with two contrasting spaces. The lower level of the 10-meter-tall structure is a compact, insulated space housing a combined living and sleeping area. This level features a wooden bench for resting and futon mattresses that can be hung on the wall to maximize space. Above, the upper level is an open-air deck with a gabled pinewood roof, offering uninterrupted views of the surrounding scenery and functioning as a peaceful vantage point. The cabins are constructed using a palette of natural materials. The exterior is clad in heart-pine and spruce wood, allowing the structures to blend into the forest, while the interior features pale birch plywood and ash. Following Nordic building traditions, the walls are insulated with flax fibers. With their minimalist and raw interiors, the cabins are designed to remove unnecessary noise and focus attention on the expansive natural landscape.

Completed in 2021, the small getaway cabin is located on a rock ledge on Åsberget mountain and offers a spectacular vista over the Ljusnan river valley. The name, meaning "South Loft," reflects its positioning. The structure is raised on slender pillars, a design choice that makes it appear to float among the surrounding treetops and balances the expansive landscape with a fine-tuned connection to the nearby forest. The 20-square-meter cabin consists of two main parts: a closed, heated living area and a large, open-air veranda that includes a covered viewing platform. The sheltered space features an extensive ceiling height of 4.5 meters, which provides an airy ambiance and allows for a smaller sleeping loft above the main living area. Inside, the design marries Nordic minimalism with Japanese-inspired aesthetics, using clean lines and light woods such as birch, fir, and heart pine. The flexible layout and minimal furnishings serve to emphasize the views of nature. A low wooden platform, for instance, can function as seating, a bed, or a space for yoga. To maximize its connection with the surrounding environment, the cabin's construction avoids plastics, and the walls and roof are insulated with flax fibers, a nod to traditional Nordic building methods. The Söderloftet stands as a serene and unobtrusive retreat, designed to help visitors escape a hectic life and find tranquility in nature.

RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | The Remote Lake Cabin is a sustainable, off-grid retreat designed by Vermont-based Stonorov Workshop and completed in 2020. It is situated in the heavily wooded Adirondack Mountains of New York, on a lake accessible only by boat, and was designed for a family that has spent summers in the area for generations. The 783-square-foot, two-bedroom cabin was constructed with minimal impact on the environment and stands elevated on stilts, allowing the existing ecosystem to thrive beneath it. To avoid disturbing the forest, construction was carried out with hand tools and smaller equipment, with the firm's partner, Otto Stonorov, hand-building much of the structure using a human-powered chain hoist to raise large timbers. The design is a simple and honest expression of its materials and site. The structure is a wood-clad timber frame joined with steel components, with locally sourced hemlock forming the main frame and white pine used for the siding and floors. Extensive glazing offers panoramic views of the forest and lake, particularly from the master bedroom and a main living area that extends onto a deck through a large window and door. The off-grid property is powered by a solar array located elsewhere on-site, and a sustainable filtration system purifies lake water for in-home use. The interior features a warm and inviting atmosphere, with a central living area, built-in bunk beds in a loft area, and handcrafted elements throughout. Almost all of the furniture, including a dining table with benches and finger-jointed kitchen drawers, was custom-made by Stonorov Workshop.

We are By the Many, For the Many. COX seeks to do more with less, tapping into resourceful Australian culture to build value through ingenuity. We strive for quality through our beliefs in equality and opportunity. We embed culture in our designs, taking time to listen and understand cultural context and social impacts. We continuously seek the brightest minds to innovate design, process, and typology. We welcome collaboration, from both traditional and disruptive sources, should it have the potential to contribute to better design. Our history in Australian architecture began with the transformative Tocal Agricultural College in New South Wales. Epitomising the renowned Sydney School, the project had a deep and sensitive understanding of context and place, blended with honest and expressive structure and craft. This has informed the work of COX ever since. This history has established key principles we continue to prioritise today. One being the planning of cities and design of buildings that are adaptable to change – cultural, social, technological, and economic. The other is the creation of sustainable spaces – environmental strategies that are embedded, rather than added, to our designs. Today, we have offices across Australia and New Zealand, working on projects of international significance. Our team brings experience and enthusiasm to every new project and client. Our projects demonstrate a dedication to research as well as an ability to work with clients to deliver successful design solutions on time and budget. What we bring to our work transcends design. Our innovative technology and structural design solutions place emphasis and value on the design of core elements. Our structures designed as destinations to bring people together to share experiences that are unique to their time and place. source: coxarchitecture.com.au Category Museum Post Type Building Project Type MARITIME MUSEUM Country China Year 2019 Area 80,000 m² Client Tianjin Municipality Photographers Terence Zhang www.zhiig.com Premium Member Interior Designer Huang Wei Collaborate 3D Design Suggest Materials Suggest Product Add Request Design © ZHIG Team Materials Suggested by Manufacturers: Model Full Name Details Details View more

RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | The hermitage is a space of contemplation and reflection. Isolated from the world, it overlooks a still wild valley, secluded from everything. Space, not place. This is defined by wood panel, vertical and horizontal lines that are tuned in a thin yet clear equilibrium. The artefact is a hybridization between a Japanese tea house and a Scandinavian Cabin. It seems to recall the use of materials typically used in architecture, like metal facades and beam structures, reinterpreting through the use of wood. The project was realized in two weeks by the studio team, in order to deepen compositional themes and to transmit the “design with your hands” approach to the studio.

RECREATIONAL | Cabin | The Pura Vida Shelters, designed by Heron Estudio, are a pair of innovative, modular beach cabins located along the coastline of La Paloma, Uruguay. Conceived with the intention of blending modern architecture with a Nordic aesthetic, the shelters offer a retreat that harmonizes with the serene coastal environment. The project is built around the principle of modular construction, utilizing prefabricated components for efficient assembly, minimized environmental impact, and adaptability. This approach allows the shelters to be both versatile and resilient, with a design capable of withstanding the rigors of coastal weather. The exterior of the shelters is defined by black sheet metal cladding, which provides a striking contrast against the natural landscape. Inside, the spaces are lined entirely with warm wood, creating a cozy and comfortable atmosphere. The design is minimalist and features clean lines, echoing the Nordic architectural style that inspired the project. This material contrast creates a unique experience for the occupants, transitioning from a robust, weather-resistant exterior to a welcoming, timber-clad interior. The cabins are also designed with sustainability in mind, incorporating eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient systems to ensure minimal environmental impact.

Conceived with the intention of blending modern architecture with a Nordic aesthetic, the shelters offer a retreat that harmonizes with the serene coastal environment. The project is built around the principle of modular construction, utilizing prefabricated components for efficient assembly, minimized environmental impact, and adaptability. This approach allows the shelters to be both versatile and resilient, with a design capable of withstanding the rigors of coastal weather. The exterior of the shelters is defined by black sheet metal cladding, which provides a striking contrast against the natural landscape. Inside, the spaces are lined entirely with warm wood, creating a cozy and comfortable atmosphere. The design is minimalist and features clean lines, echoing the Nordic architectural style that inspired the project. This material contrast creates a unique experience for the occupants, transitioning from a robust, weather-resistant exterior to a welcoming, timber-clad interior. The cabins are also designed with sustainability in mind, incorporating eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient systems to ensure minimal environmental impact. The shelters provide a peaceful space for visitors to connect with nature, whether seeking solitude or company. They are a compelling example of how architecture can integrate into and enhance a natural setting, providing a comforting place to relax.

RESIDENTIAL | House | Common Kosci is a permanent camping structure, an exercise in limiting scale and maximizing useability, recognizing that land is a living room. The dwelling consists of two timber-lined modules, both sized to be transportable, with the essentials to support a growing family and the flexibility for seasonal internal expansion. Due to its location on a joint-ownership family plot with a multi-staged masterplan, the dwelling needed to be transportable so that it may be lifted & trucked to a different part of the site in the future. This necessitated a robustness of materiality & structure and adherence to a simple form that can survive a reconfiguration. The project relies upon a strict reduction to the small and essential and acknowledgment of the need to lean on nature for the spaces beyond our controlled spaces to live outside. Moving between the spaces, you are never more than a step from the land, reminded of this through constant glimpses of both immediate and distant country. Being a tourist region, the design also needed to accept a role as seasonal holiday accommodation for extended family & friends. Through a second living area and loft over the wet areas, the dwelling expands to nearly double its inhabitants. Nestled deep in alpine lowlands, attention to passive thermal controls was imperative; thus, the project employs a high-performance wall system, double glazing, and stabilized yakisugi external timber cladding for its ability to weather extreme temperature differentials whilst achieving the softness and texture of the surrounding bush. The design takes carriage of the clients’ desires to exist outdoors, to eat & play outdoors, and to shower outdoors. To handle the messiness of seasonal sports and withstand the rough & tumble of active lives by using pre-finished timber internal lining to bring the outdoors in. To stay small so that upkeep is not an onerous impost on daily family life. The design encourages their already tight-knit family to continue to live closely together and, then again, share their spaces with others. The design shows how small spaces can thrive by harnessing the generosity of the outdoors. The dwelling is situated in a small corner of a large rural plot surrounded by an evolving part of Jindabyne’s tourist activation precincts, which envisages small-footprint, low-impact, environmentally sensitive dwelling typologies that preserve the natural landscape through considered siting. The simple, repeated profiles of the dual modules speak to the land’s discrete rock outcrops that cluster across soft grasslands whilst echoing the functional language of agricultural buildings across the Snowy Mountains regions. The mudroom provides a messy entry, drying of wet snow gear, and additional storage. The Loft above the bathroom provides extra sleep for friends & family and a flexible second living area. The main living area comprises a kitchen oriented around the dining area that steps directly onto the north-facing deck, embodying the family’s propensity to cook and eat together and remain directly connected to the outdoors even in the colder months. The project is one of a series of collaborations between architect and builder, engineer and interior designer. From the steel bearers - complete with lifting points for craning - and the structural timber portal framing to the restrained natural palette of timbers and terracotta and the spatial constraints governing layout and orientation, the design relies upon a dedication from each contributor to engage intimately with the needs of the brief, and the demands of the local area.

HOSPITALITY | Hotel | The Elva Hotel, completed in 2023 by Mange Bekker Arkitektur, is a modern Scandinavian boutique hotel located in Voss, Norway, a region renowned for its natural beauty and adventure sports. The hotel's design is inspired by nature, combining contemporary architecture with a deep respect for the environment. It is situated on a former industrial site at the water's edge, transforming a previously underutilized area into a unique and eco-friendly retreat. The hotel comprises a main building and five freestanding, tower-like mini-houses, offering a total of 14 guest rooms. The main building features four wheelchair-accessible rooms, a reception area, conference space, and a restaurant. It is connected to an existing facility that houses a bar, café, kitchen, and spa. Each of the mini-houses, which contain one to three rooms, is named after one of the rivers in the Voss area, and every room is named after a local waterfall. The design intentionally blends into the landscape, with natural-colored materials and stilted structures that "balance" over the lake's edge, creating sheltered outdoor spaces and framed views of the river, lake, and mountains. The hotel's unique placement on stilts also elevates it above the projected 200-year flood level, a critical design consideration given its location in a vulnerable wetland area. To further minimize its carbon footprint, pre-cut timber was used for most of the construction, and concrete was limited to below the flood level. Large, floor-to-ceiling windows bring the natural surroundings indoors, creating a serene and private atmosphere in each room. The restaurant emphasizes locally produced food, and the overall design creates a landscape hotel that encourages guests to connect with the surrounding wilderness.

STUDIOS | Cabin | Pine Nut Cabane, designed by Daab Design, is a timber-clad retreat set within a pine forest and olive grove near Marseille, France. Created for a multi-generational family, the cabin serves as a guest studio, artist's workspace, and rural escape. Its design prioritizes flexibility and a deep connection to its natural surroundings. The minimalist design, with its simple volume and use of local materials, references traditional regional farming architecture. The cabin is intended as a subtle, understated space that enhances the client's favorite spot on their property, a place for painting and playing pétanque. The 35 m² cabin is carefully positioned on a rural property outside Marseille, hidden from both the main farmhouse and local roads. It is oriented to the east to capture the gentle morning sunlight and offer expansive valley views. A dense pine forest on the south side provides natural shading from the intense Mediterranean sun. The cabin is clad in scorched pine, a durable, locally sourced material that allows the structure to blend with the forest landscape. The interior features a combination of light plywood panels, matte-black surfaces, and polished concrete floors. This provides a tranquil, balanced atmosphere that contrasts with the bright outdoor light. The design incorporates deep eaves, high-spec double glazing, and cross-ventilation to minimize heat gain and keep the interior cool naturally. The polished concrete floor is integral to the thermal heating and cooling strategy. The cabin's open-plan layout can be reconfigured with full-height matte-black doors to create a central corridor or two private bedrooms. A central, matte-black pod contains the bathroom, which features a cave-like shower with terracotta zellige tiles. An east-facing terrace with a fire pit provides an outdoor seating area with panoramic views. Built-in storage and desks ensure the space remains uncluttered and functional for various activities like yoga, painting, or sleeping. Project credits Architects: Daab Design.
