- Casa Etérea | Prashant Ashoka | ZHIG
RESIDENTIAL | House | Completed in 2020 by Singaporean writer and designer Prashant Ashoka, Casa Etérea is a 75-square-meter off-grid retreat built on the slopes of Palo Huérfano, an extinct volcano near San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. With no formal background in architecture, Ashoka conceived the minimalist, mirrored dwelling as a "theater to nature" that prioritizes a sensory connection with the rugged, volcanic landscape. The project took three years to complete and was heavily inspired by the "emotional architecture" of Mexican architect Luis Barragán. The name Etérea, Spanish for "ethereal," reflects the home's weightless, camouflaged appearance. The design is based on a concept of radical integration with the environment. The cabin consists of two rectilinear volumes that meet at a 120-degree angle, mirroring a ravine visible through the exposed shower. The exterior is clad in mirrored glass, featuring a patterned ultraviolet coating that prevents birds from colliding with the surface while remaining invisible to the human eye. To minimize its footprint and construction impact, the foundation was built from volcanic rock collected on-site. The property is completely off-grid, relying on solar panels for electricity and a rainwater collection system for water. This self-sufficiency allows for a fully immersive, secluded experience. The interior is a single, open-plan space with a minimal and natural material palette of concrete, timber, jute, and leather, which prevents it from distracting from the views. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors slide open to connect the living area, bedroom, and copper bathtub with a decked patio, heated pool, and the encompassing olive and pomegranate trees. Remote-controlled PVC shutters offer privacy and security. The isolated location, only accessible by 4x4, reinforces the sense of disconnection from urban life.

- Spark Lodges | EERI | ZHIG
LODGES | Cabin | Constructed in 2024 by EERI Studio (Everyday Essentials Research Institute), the Spark Lodges are a set of modular, prefabricated holiday cabins located at the YDD Resort in Changsha, China. The three-story lodges, with a floor area of 76 square meters, were designed for a tourist village in Jinkeng, Hunan, and draw inspiration from the area's rich history, particularly its connection to the fireworks industry. The design harmoniously blends contemporary industrial materials with the natural, rural surroundings of rice fields and the distant Lianyun Mountains. The exterior of the cabins is composed of green-painted steel frames, pine planks, and most notably, translucent polycarbonate panels that wrap around the roof and certain wall sections. The polycarbonate material, in particular, was chosen for its cost-effectiveness and ability to create a dynamic and "sparkling" effect as light conditions change. These translucent forms give the structures a striking, ethereal quality, especially when viewed against the backdrop of the rice fields and mountains. The interior of each lodge is designed to create a continuous and changing viewing experience for its occupants. On the ground floor, large, three-sided, floor-to-ceiling windows provide a panoramic, horizontal view of the rice fields, intentionally blurring the line between inside and out. Moving up to the second-floor bedroom, the windows become smaller and more strategically placed, framing "close-up, square-shaped paintings" of the landscape and ensuring privacy. The highest level is a loft space that opens up vertically, offering an expansive view of the distant mountains and framing it like a long, vertical Chinese Shan-shui painting.

- Hut-Inspired House | Atelier Hajný | ZHIG
RESIDENTIAL | House | Hut-Inspired House is a residential project in Říčany, Czech Republic, designed by Prague-based Atelier Hajný. Completed in 2023, the family home was built on the site of a holiday cabin that the client had frequented since childhood. As the surrounding area began to change with new zoning plans favoring family houses, the original, beloved hut was destined for demolition. To honor the client's nostalgic connection to the site, Atelier Hajný designed a new, modern home that subtly referenced the shape and appearance of the old cabins. The design for the 180-square-meter home successfully balances the sentimental and the contemporary. The house's elongated, gabled form, with its prominent roof and overhangs, reflects the familiar shape of the traditional huts once common in the area. The building appears as a single-family dwelling, but it is cleverly designed to contain two standalone studio apartments on the ground floor, in addition to the main two-story home. The exterior is clad in charred timber, a durable and natural material that gives the house a rustic yet modern aesthetic. Light wooden shading slats on the gable ends add visual interest and regulate sunlight. Integration with nature: A cantilevered balcony provides a sheltered outdoor space, while the design's overall form harmonizes with the changing character of the landscape. The 180-square-meter interior is designed to be warm, functional, and filled with natural light. Exposed cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels provide a warm, natural contrast to the darker facade. The ground floor contains the entrances to the two studio apartments, a technical area, and the main living room with an integrated kitchen. The upper floor is dedicated to the main apartment's private quarters, including bedrooms, a study, and a bathroom. Custom built-in furniture, including cabinetry made from oak and birch veneer, helps to optimize space and maintain a clean, uncluttered look. The Hut-Inspired House was designed with energy efficiency and modern comfort in mind. Features include: Electric underfloor heating. Recuperative air conditioning. Materials chosen for durability and sustainability, such as charred wood and CLT panels.

Designed by Atelier Hajný and completed in 2024, the project transformed a derelict, 1970s single-story hut into a contemporary and airy two-story home. The clients, a couple from Prague, wanted a tranquil escape for weekends and remote work, but faced challenges from strict local zoning regulations. Atelier Hajný's design solution addressed the need for more space while adhering to a maximum height limit of 7.7 meters. The most distinctive feature is the truncated, asymmetrical hip roof, topped with a pair of skylights. This design minimized the building's overall height and prevented it from blocking the views of neighboring properties. The architects kept the original 1970s stone base, stripping the building to its foundation. A new, modern metal structure was then built upon this base, supported by a concrete slab and concealed pillars. The trapezoidal metal sheeting that clads the roof and façade gives the home a modern look while offering durability and minimal upkeep. The dark color helps the structure blend with the natural surroundings. The skylights not only provide natural light but also enable chimney ventilation, which, combined with a significant roof overhang, helps regulate the indoor climate throughout the year. Inside the 46-square-meter cabin, the design maximizes space and light to create a cozy and warm atmosphere. The interior is defined by an extensive use of light pine plywood with a prominent grain, which covers the walls, ceilings, and custom furniture. This contrasts with the dark, minimalist exterior, creating a brighter indoor environment. he ground floor features an open-plan layout connecting the living, dining, and kitchen areas. Large windows on the south and east sides provide dynamic views and flood the space with natural light. An attic bedroom is nestled under the asymmetrical roof, illuminated by the innovative skylight system. A small fireplace adds extra warmth and coziness to the main living area. The bathroom has a simple and modern aesthetic, with a gray plaster finish.

- Kererū Retreat | Studio Now | ZHIG
RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | Located at the foothills of Mount Hutt in Canterbury, New Zealand, the Kererū Retreat is a sustainable, off-grid micro-cabin designed by Studio Now (formerly Studio Well Architecture) and completed in 2020. The transportable, 17.3-square-meter cabin was conceived as a private retreat for the architect-owner, Ben Comber, who sought a place to unplug and reconnect with nature. Its compact design reinterprets the rural New Zealand vernacular and can be seasonally moved, much like the native Kererū birds that roost in the nearby kōwhai trees. The minimalist, handcrafted alpine cabin proves that "bigger isn't always better," with a focus on high-quality finishes within its seemingly spacious but small footprint. Its design is based on efficiency, simplicity, and sustainability, allowing it to fully engage with its surroundings. Built using salvaged timber and galvanized iron, the exterior features a gable form with Douglas fir rain screens on the end faces and sliding timber shutters that cover the large windows for privacy and weather protection. The interior uses untreated timber paneling, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere. An open-plan layout includes a central living space with a built-in sofa, a minimalist kitchen, and a dining nook with a fold-down table. The sleeping area, which features an elevated queen bed, is situated on a mezzanine level and includes a panoramic window for stargazing and enjoying the views. A loft area and a hidden bathroom with a composting toilet are also included to maximize the small space.

The transportable, 17.3-square-meter cabin was conceived as a private retreat for the architect-owner, Ben Comber, who sought a place to unplug and reconnect with nature. Its compact design reinterprets the rural New Zealand vernacular and can be seasonally moved, much like the native Kererū birds that roost in the nearby kōwhai trees. The minimalist, handcrafted alpine cabin proves that "bigger isn't always better," with a focus on high-quality finishes within its seemingly spacious but small footprint. Its design is based on efficiency, simplicity, and sustainability, allowing it to fully engage with its surroundings. Built using salvaged timber and galvanized iron, the exterior features a gable form with Douglas fir rain screens on the end faces and sliding timber shutters that cover the large windows for privacy and weather protection. The interior uses untreated timber paneling, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere. An open-plan layout includes a central living space with a built-in sofa, a minimalist kitchen, and a dining nook with a fold-down table. The sleeping area, which features an elevated queen bed, is situated on a mezzanine level and includes a panoramic window for stargazing and enjoying the views. A loft area and a hidden bathroom with a composting toilet are also included to maximize the small space. The retreat is entirely off-grid and self-sufficient, relying on a rooftop solar system for electricity, a rainwater collection tank for water, and a wood-burning fireplace for warmth. Its design has received several accolades, including an award at the Architectural Designers New Zealand Design Awards.

- Encuentro Guadalupe | Graciastudio, Jorge Gracia | ZHIG
HOTELS | Eco-lofts | Nestled in the arid, boulder-strewn terrain of the Valle de Guadalupe in Baja California, Mexico, the Hotel Encuentro Guadalupe is an "antiresort" that seeks to connect guests with the rugged landscape rather than separate them from it. Designed by Tijuana-based architect Jorge Gracia of Graciastudio, the hotel comprises 20 individual, elevated "eco-lofts" that appear to hover over the hillside, offering both privacy and panoramic views of the wine valley. The project was completed in 2011 and is part of a larger, 99-hectare development that includes a winery and a residential area. From its inception, the design philosophy prioritized environmental preservation. To minimize interference with the land, the individual rooms were constructed as steel-framed pods and elevated on stilts, avoiding direct contact with the soil and allowing the local flora and fauna to continue thriving underneath. This "deluxe camping" concept provides guests with modern comforts while maintaining an immersive connection to the natural surroundings. The exterior cladding of the eco-lofts is made of Corten steel, a material chosen for its rust-like appearance, which weathers over time to achieve a color palette that blends harmoniously with the desert environment. The hotel's design embraces minimalism and simplicity, both in its materials and its layout. The interiors are clean and sober, focusing the guest's attention on the dramatic views framed by large windows. Outside, cantilevered decks and strategically placed pools are integrated into the rocky landscape, providing spaces for relaxation and contemplation. The approach to construction was also influenced by local economic and material conditions, with Graciastudio leveraging prefabricated construction techniques and locally available materials to realize the project efficiently. For architect Jorge Gracia, the Hotel Encuentro Guadalupe reflects a commitment to sustainable, region-specific design that responds to the unique character of its location. The project has been recognized internationally for its innovative approach, which successfully balances high-end hospitality with ecological sensitivity.

- Jaguatirica Cabin | Pitta Arquitetura | ZHIG
RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | The Jaguatirica Cabin, designed by Pitta Arquitetura and completed in 2021, is a minimalist and sustainable 65-square-meter retreat located in the Atlantic Forest of Ubatuba, Brazil. Situated within a vast forest reserve, the cabin was conceived as a "cocoon" to allow guests a serene and intimate connection with the lush, biodiverse natural surroundings. The design is a testament to low-impact construction, blending architectural form with the untouched landscape. To minimize its environmental footprint, the project utilized a lightweight, dry construction system that allowed for rapid assembly and produced very little material waste. The structure features a metal frame with wood-frame panels and a waterproof thermoplastic cover, all chosen to respect the natural topography of the site. Natural materials like wood, glass, and exposed concrete were selected to create a welcoming atmosphere that integrates seamlessly with the forest setting. The cabin's elevated position further reduces its impact on the ground. The cabin’s architecture is defined by its focus on natural light and expansive views of the forest. Large openings and sliding glass doors on the main facade invite the surrounding nature inside, creating an immersive, well-ventilated living space. A prominent 2.5-meter eave extends from the roof, providing shade from the sun and shelter from rain while still allowing ample natural light to enter. The interior is organized as a single, open-plan space that integrates the living room, bedroom, and kitchen without partitions, which enhances the feeling of spaciousness and reinforces the connection to the outdoors.

- Quatuor | Jaspers-Eyers Architects | ZHIG
COMMERCIAL | Office | The Quatuor has been designed to create an urban link between different adjacent neighborhoods - the Espace Nord and the historical heart of Brussels. The project will be composed of four towers with different heights, comprising four levels at the base to unite all the towers to form a coherent urban development. The towers situated on the west will be less high due to their proximity to existing lower buildings. Conversely, east towers will be higher to extend the alignment of development situated on the north side, and thus create the important Espace Nord entrance vista in town planning terms. For this entrance to materialise, the Quatuor will consist of rounded and soft volumes, with accents such as a walkway connecting the high towers and garden terraces above the base. The sloping roofs add dynamism and allow installation of photovoltaic panels facing south. Triple glazing, thermo-lacquered aluminium joinery and natural stone will be use for the facades and blue stone for the skirting boards. Quatuor project will also boast an interior, landscaped garden, and an underground car park with 353 places. | https://static.wixstatic.com/media/9756fd_618bddfc7859449a889cfaa882eb6fa8~mv2.jpeg/v1/fill/w_1600,h_1200,al_c,q_85/Quatuor%20(11).jpeg 1/0 Private Public Pin Pin 0 x Appreciators 0 3D models Product 5.4K Views ...

- The Wiggins house | urbanfunction | ZHIG
RESIDENTIAL | House | The Wiggins house in Sumner, Christchurch, New Zealand, is a family home designed by Urbanfunction Architecture and completed in 2022. Facing challenges such as a narrow site in a flood zone and proximity to neighbors, the design incorporates a gable form and central axis as a nod to the site's original cottage. The layout includes staggered garage and living wings that create courtyards to enhance natural light indoors. The exterior combines Abodo Sioo:x timber cladding and reclaimed bricks at the entrance. Inside, a glass door provides a view through a hallway with lime plaster, leading to a bright, open-plan living area featuring a double-height ceiling and mezzanine. The interior design uses natural materials like reclaimed brick and timber, along with textured plaster and curves, to soften the space. Upstairs, windows offer views of the Port Hills, and there's a hidden room.

HOSPITALITY | Luxury resort | The masterplan is for a discreet and environmentally intelligent architecture that blends harmoniously with the lush and extensive landscape. Green fingers of lush vegetation extend down towards the sea, with a series of contemporary buildings inserted amid tropical plantings to create an architecture that at once responds to the contours of the landscape and recedes into the green totality. Forming a sculptural family, dramatic undulating timber-shingle roofs unify the built elements and reinvent island architecture. Combined, these elements provide an idyllic haven in a luxuriant tropical garden, a pervading sense of tranquillity and luxurious relaxation. Sustainable design principles are at the heart of the architectural approach, ensuring that the masterplan is not only energy efficient, but also helps regenerate the landscape. Built from natural, sustainable materials, the rich organic palette creates a seamless relationship between the buildings and the landscape. Volcanic rock collected from the very site will be used, anchoring the resort to its surroundings, and other natural materials such as timber shingles, vegetation and water are dominant features in the masterplan. The striking wave-like, curving roofs are designed for optimum natural ventilation, and to collect rainwater for treatment and reuse. Solar power will be harnessed and electric vehicles will be available for transport around the site. Offering privacy and exclusivity, the scheme creates a new model of luxury resort living. | https://static.wixstatic.com/media/9756fd_d6408ed0e7f84d59abdb22d44ff46c15~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_2000,h_1124,al_c,q_90/Banyan%20Tree%20Corniche%20Bay%20(1).jfif 1/0 Private Public Pin Pin 0 x Appreciators 0 3D models Product 5.9K Views 0 Appreciated Appreciate Please login to appreciate Banyan Tree Corniche Bay H9C6+G4J, La Gaulette, Mauritius fosterandpartners.com Source: Published on Oct 1, 2023 by: Photographer Anna Salonen Premium Member More Buildings from Mauritius Facts: Up Up Architecture Office Foster + Partners United Kingdom Category: HOSPITALITY Luxury resort Project Type: Post Type: Building Country: Mauritius Photographers: Architects: Foster + Partners Area: 859,400 m2 Year: 2006 City: Mauritius Construction: Client Tatorio Holdings Ltd Description: the architects Text description by The masterplan is for a discreet and environmentally intelligent architecture that blends harmoniously with the lush and extensive landscape.

- Zen House | JAN TYRPEKL | ZHIG
RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | The Zen House is a tiny, 33-square-meter elevated cabin designed by architect Jan Tyrpekl for a farm complex in Hainburg an der Donau, Austria. Completed in 2023, the cabin was commissioned to provide a unique and serene retreat for relaxation, offering a deep connection with the surrounding nature, which includes an orchard and mature trees. The dwelling is perched on 4-meter-high concrete stilts, allowing the landscape to flow unimpeded beneath and creating a feeling of being in a "bird's nest," which offers a sense of security and intimacy. The structure is built from sustainable materials, featuring a frame of glued laminated spruce timbers and a platform and roof of cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels. The lower part of the structure and the terrace are made from glued laminated larch timbers. The most prominent feature of the design is the extensive use of glass walls, which enclose the entire living space to provide uninterrupted, 360-degree views of the natural surroundings. For privacy, interior curtains can be drawn. The open-plan interior is designed for simplicity and comfort. It includes a built-in bed, a connected bar/kitchenette, and a suspended fireplace that creates a cozy, warm atmosphere. The space is divided into distinct zones for sleeping, sitting, and conversing. Large HS portals—sliding doors—provide access to a spacious terrace overlooking the farm's orchard. While the current cabin lacks a bathroom and cooking facilities, plans are in place for a future expansion that will add a sauna, shower, and toilet in the space between the supporting pillars beneath the house.

Completed in 2022, the project is a sustainable and resourceful endeavor, built almost entirely from locally sourced, recycled, and donated materials from previous constructions. The building process was a collaborative effort involving friends and family, reflecting a "labor of love" approach. The structure is divided into three distinct parts, creating a harmonious balance between work and relaxation: a small studio with basic sanitary facilities, a sauna with an adjacent beekeeping workshop, and an open terrace that connects the two volumes. The design is based on a simple, gabled-roof massing, with strategically placed north-facing windows to prevent overheating during the summer while maximizing natural light. Storage niches for firewood are integrated into the facades, which aids in insulation during colder months. The building is heated by wood-burning stoves in both the studio and the sauna. The Atelier's foundation consists of concrete footings that support an admitted timber frame, which carries individual insulated timber panels. Its design is intended to engage with the surrounding landscape, offering expansive views of the valley and nearby forest, and providing a flexible space for various activities, including work, relaxation, family gatherings, or accommodating guests.

The 12.5-square-meter cabin is situated on top of a disused World War II concrete bunker near the border of the Czech Republic and Austria. This was part of an architectural statement to repurpose the thousands of bunkers left in the landscape after they were never used for their intended purpose. By designing a light, removable wooden structure, Tyrpekl aimed to minimize the impact on the existing historical structure. The project was executed with minimal material, cost, and time. It was built with the help of friends, family, and architecture students, rather than being funded by donations or grants. Because of logistical challenges, the cabin was first assembled at a family farm 200 kilometers away, then disassembled and reassembled on the bunker. The design demonstrates that a generous interior space can be created within a very small footprint. The building features two large windows—one facing the Austrian border and the other facing a nearby village church—and an additional rooftop window, ensuring the small space is filled with natural light and scenic views. The simple wooden design was constructed using only common tools. The Shelter serves as a small retreat, and anyone can arrange to stay there with the owner's permission. In 2018, the project received a Czech Architecture Award nomination, with the jury praising its ability to make the invisible visible, its philosophical approach to marking a special place, and its simple, natural materials that achieve maximum impact with minimal means.

- Hermitage in the Archipelago | 2bk arkitekter | ZHIG
RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | EREMITAGE is a private cabin for meditation and exercise designed by the Swedish architectural firm 2bk arkitekter. Located in the Stockholm archipelago, this small building is a tranquil retreat set among rocky outcrops and blueberry bushes, right next to the sea. The project is a masterful combination of Nordic simplicity with intricate Japanese carpentry, resulting in a serene, nature-focused space for quiet contemplation. The architects' design for EREMITAGE was guided by the site's natural conditions, specifically the movement of light, the view toward the water, and an appreciation for Japanese carpentry. From a distance, the structure appears as a simple wooden cabin, blending into the surrounding landscape. Upon closer approach, however, its refined details become visible, revealing its identity as a finely crafted retreat resembling a Japanese teahouse. Exterior and materials The building's exterior is a blend of simple and sophisticated elements. The facade is clad in brown distemper-painted wood panels, a choice that helps the structure recede into the Nordic landscape. This contrasts with the delicate, sliding facade screens that reveal the interior, allowing the occupants to adjust the level of privacy and connection to the outdoors. The single row of slate stepping stones leading to the entrance further underscores the Japanese-inspired minimalist aesthetic. Interior and spatial experience The interior of EREMITAGE is designed to maximize a sense of tranquility and connection to nature. Japanese influence: The space incorporates traditional Japanese elements, such as tatami mats on the floor, and uses carefully crafted wooden elements. Minimalist palette: The materials used are predominantly wood, including untreated Douglas pine veneer for the walls and ceiling and thermo-treated ash for the floors. Dynamic light and shadow: The sliding facade screens create a shifting play of light and shadow within the interior, marking the passage of the day and enhancing the building's connection to its natural surroundings. The EREMITAGE project by 2bk arkitekter is a perfect example of a structure that respects and responds to its natural environment. By merging simple, traditional Nordic building techniques with the refined craftsmanship of Japanese carpentry, the cabin becomes a beautiful piece of architectural furniture. It offers a space for mindful exercise and meditation, allowing its inhabitants to feel sheltered while remaining fully immersed in the natural beauty of the Swedish archipelago.

- Central Bank of Azerbaijan | Coop Himmelb(l)au | ZHIG
COMMERCIAL | Office | The design of the Central Bank of Azerbaijan in Baku takes the economical high-rise typology as a starting point. The East-West oriented slab and its polygonal geometry rises then into a sculpturally twisted volume, glazed from top to bottom and open to its surroundings. The client asked for a symbolic building, open and light, to replace the hermetically-sealed structure of the former Headquarters. Situated on the Heydar-Aliyev Avenue, the 164 meters tall tower becomes a highly visible landmark of the capital city, a significant point of reference in the Baku skyline. Two other iconic buildings of modern Baku are located further South-West, on the same main road: the Baku Convention Center designed by Coop Himmelb(l)au (2015), and Zaha Hadid’s Heydar Aliyev Center (2012). A transparent, full-height atrium enhances the design, thereby generating a new high-rise typology that transforms the traditional office block into a vibrant place to work. The atrium functions as a “vertical city” with platforms functionally connecting spaces across the atrium and dividing it horizontally into urban-like neighborhoods. Numerous “short circuit” stairs and ramps connect several of the office floors across this ample interstitial space, creating informal meeting lounges and circulation patterns, similar to streets and passages of a city. Additionally, hanging gardens and daylight reflecting cones bring light and vegetation into the microclimate of the Vertical City. The atrium thus unfolds as a pleasant and dynamic communication forum, providing stunning views of the city of Baku and the Caspian Sea. As an economically optimized building, the Central Bank of Azerbaijan is equipped with a state-of-the-art sustainable energy concept, employing solar gain, passive sun protection, and natural ventilation for cooling and heating, as well as natural daylighting. | https://static.wixstatic.com/media/9756fd_03fdb92c94da4f59925f25af3c62a9d8~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1800,h_1125,al_c,q_90/Central%20Bank%20of%20Azerbaijan%20(4).jpg 1/0 Private Public Pin Pin 0 x Appreciators 0 3D models Product 6.4K Views 0 Appreciated Appreciate Please login to appreciate Central Bank of Azerbaijan Heydar Aliyev Ave 32, Bakı, Azerbaijan coop-himmelblau.at Source: Published on Oct 3, 2023 by: CG Artist Andrew L Premium Member More Buildings from Azerbaijan Facts: Up Up Architecture Office Coop Himmelb(l)au Austria Category: COMMERCIAL Office Project Type: Post Type: Building Country: Azerbaijan CBA construction, k18.at Photographers: Architects: Coop Himmelb(l)au Area: 33 200 m² Year: 2024 City: Baku Construction: Client Central Bank of Azerbaijan Description: the architects Text description by The design of the Central Bank of Azerbaijan in Baku takes the economical high-rise typology as a starting point.
