- Vipp Cold Hawaii | Hahn Lavsen | ZHIG
RESIDENTIAL | House | Vipp Cold Hawaii is a contemporary guesthouse in Thy National Park, Denmark, designed by the local architect studio Hahn Lavsen. The project, which opened in 2024, involved transforming a historic early 1900s fisherman's cottage on a secluded 9,900-square-meter plot into a bookable retreat for surfers and nature lovers. While its silhouette hints at the traditional cottages of the area, the new structure features minimalist geometric forms and a restrained material palette. To create a robust yet understated structure that could withstand the coastal elements, Hahn Lavsen chose to work with a palette of just five materials, processed as little as possible. These include whitewashed aerated concrete walls for insulation, a roof of untreated Douglas fir heartwood designed to age gracefully, and classic oak stable doors that allow for natural ventilation and echo the area's agricultural past. Inside, the floors are exposed brick laid in sand, a textural reference to the nearby sandy beaches. The 185-square-meter guesthouse features a spacious, open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area, along with three double bedrooms and two bathrooms. Inside, the interior design by Julie Cloos Mølsgaard complements the minimalist architecture with a calm, neutral color palette and furnishings from Vipp. The heart of the home is a Vipp V3 kitchen, and large windows throughout frame expansive, panoramic views of the national park and the North Sea.

- Hempcrete and Timber Guesthouses | Kaja Kühl | ZHIG
RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | Built for Wally Farms, an experimental farming incubator in upstate New York, the Hempcret & Timber Guesthouses were designed by Brooklyn-based urban designer Kaja Kühl and architect-of-record Roger Cardinal and completed in 2023. The project consists of a pair of micro-cabins, each measuring 400 square feet, which were conceived as prototypes for low-embodied carbon construction and are used to house guests. The design reinterprets vernacular US farmworker houses and cabins, featuring simple rectangular forms, pitched roofs, and generous covered porches that extend the living space outdoors. The guesthouses were constructed with prefabricated, off-site components to minimize their environmental impact, which aligns with Kühl's research into regenerative and climate-positive building practices. The primary material is a timber frame and prefabricated hempcrete bricks, an insulating biomaterial made from the woody core of the hemp plant mixed with lime. The use of hempcrete, which stores carbon, contributes to the project's negative carbon footprint, making it a "climate-positive" dwelling. In addition to the hempcrete, the design incorporates passive house principles, including large south-facing windows and doors to maximize solar gain and local well water. The homes are situated in a forest clearing under mature trees for natural shade and are visually similar but not identical. Each cabin features a spacious deck and sliding glass doors that open to the outside, creating a seamless connection with the natural surroundings. The interiors exude a simple, natural aesthetic with deliberate details that highlight the materials. The energy-efficient design relies on electricity from a nearby solar array, further reducing the homes' operational carbon footprint.

- LILELO (Little Leisure Lodge) | Atelier LAVIT | ZHIG
HOTEL | Prefabricated Cabin | LILELO, or Little Leisure Lodge, is an eco-hotel in Grazzano Badoglio, Italy, conceived by the Paris-based architecture practice Atelier LAVIT and completed in 2022. Located in the heart of Monferrato, a region known for its vineyards and woodland hills, the hotel consists of a cluster of four modular, eco-friendly cabins. The design is inspired by traditional haystacks, blending naturally with the rural landscape. The project was designed with a strong focus on sustainability and a minimal footprint. The cabins were largely prefabricated off-site, reducing construction time and on-site disruption. To adapt to the sloping terrain, the cabins are raised off the ground on slender pillars, minimizing their impact on the environment. The cabins feature a distinctive A-shaped roof with fully glazed triangular elevations, which also function as the load-bearing structure. This creates a strong visual identity while maximizing natural light and views. The cabins are constructed primarily from natural and eco-compatible materials. The exterior is clad in oil-treated larch, a material chosen for its durability and aging characteristics. The interior also features wood finishes throughout. The LILELO hotel comprises four cabins, each serving a specific function. Private suites: Three of the cabins are private guest suites, each with a continuous, open-plan interior. A deck at one end provides outdoor seating, leading to a sleeping area and a bathroom at the opposite end. Only the toilet is enclosed. Communal cabin: The fourth cabin serves as a common space. It features a large kitchen and a generous outdoor area with a table, intended as a gathering place for guests. The continuous interior layout and expansive windows create a seamless connection between the indoor spaces and the natural surroundings. The interior and furnishings are crafted from wood, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere that complements the cabins' natural setting.

Located in a spectacular landscape on the eastern plain of Corsica, France, the cabin was conceived to allow for full immersion in nature while maintaining comfort and protection. The name O_CASELLA is a play on the word "casella," which means "little box" or "shelter" in Corsican, reflecting the cabin's functional and minimalist nature. The design of O_CASELLA is based on two distinct, yet connected, modular volumes: a living module and a pergola. This structure addresses the demands of the warm Mediterranean climate by creating large, shaded areas for outdoor living. To minimize cost and environmental impact on the remote site, the entire cabin was prefabricated in a wood workshop. The modules were then transported fully assembled to the location, significantly reducing on-site construction time and disruption. The closed living module contains the kitchen, bathroom, and a flexible living/sleeping area. It provides framed views of the surrounding wild Corsican mountains and sea through large windows. The open-air pergola provides a ventilated and shaded space for outdoor relaxation, reading, or contemplating the landscape. A movable, mashrabiya-style shutter on a rail system allows occupants to regulate sunlight and air flow. The exterior structure and cladding are made from local Corsican larch (laricciu), a lightweight yet strong wood that contributes to the cabin's portability and durability. The interior walls and ceiling are lined with MDF wood, creating a cozy and protective atmosphere. A generous covered pergola extends the living space outdoors, with an outdoor shower providing an even more direct connection to nature. A steel beam on the façade serves a dual purpose: it hides the rail system for the sliding shutter panel and acts as a gutter for collecting rainwater. The movable mashrabiya panel offers passive cooling and sun protection. The modular system allows for flexibility in installation and configuration, showcasing a forward-thinking approach to sustainable architecture.

- Anfa Place | Foster + Partners | ZHIG
URBAN | Mixed-use development | Anfa Place is a mixed-use development on the Atlantic coast to the west of Casablanca, close to the city’s affluent residential district of Anfa. The design takes advantage of the site’s magnificent natural setting – the 90,000-square-metre scheme extends the city to the shoreline by creating a new waterfront quarter, with places to live, offices, shops, cafes, leisure facilities and a five-star hotel. The spaces are carved into the cliff-side beneath the existing corniche, drawing the city towards the sea with a series of stepped terraces. An elevated promenade leads to a plaza with cafes, restaurants and bars and breaks down the barrier that previously existed between the road and the beach. Pedestrians access the apartments at roof-level, via gardens and bridges, and discreet ramps lead cars to underground parking. The buildings then extend along the corniche: there is a hotel, swimming pool, courtyard and spa facilities at the north eastern tip, and offices and a ‘business club’ – comprising shared conference facilities and office space, a pool and serviced apartments – towards the south west of the site. The centre of the development is arranged as seven ‘fingers’ containing 260 private apartments. These extend towards the ocean and are staggered to allow even those furthest from the beach to have sea views.

The design takes advantage of the site’s magnificent natural setting – the 90,000-square-metre scheme extends the city to the shoreline by creating a new waterfront quarter, with places to live, offices, shops, cafes, leisure facilities and a five-star hotel. The spaces are carved into the cliff-side beneath the existing corniche, drawing the city towards the sea with a series of stepped terraces. An elevated promenade leads to a plaza with cafes, restaurants and bars and breaks down the barrier that previously existed between the road and the beach. Pedestrians access the apartments at roof-level, via gardens and bridges, and discreet ramps lead cars to underground parking. The buildings then extend along the corniche: there is a hotel, swimming pool, courtyard and spa facilities at the north eastern tip, and offices and a ‘business club’ – comprising shared conference facilities and office space, a pool and serviced apartments – towards the south west of the site. The centre of the development is arranged as seven ‘fingers’ containing 260 private apartments. These extend towards the ocean and are staggered to allow even those furthest from the beach to have sea views. Using local materials and construction techniques, the design responds to the architectural vernacular. The buildings are interspersed with private courtyards and trees, offering natural shade, while protecting against the strong sea breezes. The facades are designed to promote natural ventilation, control solar gain and exploit the cooling properties of thermal mass and, for privacy, the hotel balconies are shaded by delicate filigree screens.

- Small Vacation Cottages u Gai | SAN Architektura | ZHIG
RESIDENTIAL | Cottage | The Small Vacation Cottages u Gai are a pair of small summer houses located on a steep hillside in Radomice, Poland, with panoramic views of the Karkonosze Mountains. Designed by Polish firm SAN Architektura, the project was inspired by a nearby closed quarry and a desire to reflect the natural landscape. The cottages are designed to look like freely scattered, hewn boulders on the slope, with plans for a third, larger building—a single-family home for the owners—to be added in the future. The design of the 81-square-meter cottages is both simple and strategic. Built on square plans, they feature a ground-floor living area with a kitchenette, a bathroom, and a dressing room. A mezzanine bedroom on a diagonal to the main floor is aligned with the roofline to create a sense of height and maximize usable space. The interiors emphasize the views, with large, 4.5-meter-wide panoramic windows framing the mountain landscape. The construction and materials were chosen to harmonize with the wild surroundings. The structures were built using the HBE glued timber system, eliminating the need for additional interior wall finishes. The exterior is clad in Siberian larch, which was left untreated to allow it to patinate naturally under the sun's UV rays, helping the cottages blend into the landscape. The base of each cottage is finished with hewn stone, referencing the nearby quarry and grounding the structures to the site. The cottages are slightly elevated from their stone plinths, creating the impression that they are levitating over the slope. This design choice not only enhances the visual effect but also brings occupants closer to the surrounding nature, as bushes seen from the living room resemble treetops. To preserve the natural, wild character of the plot, the architects opted for unpaved paths using aggregate from the local area and avoided adding fences.

- One Central Park | Ateliers Jean Nouvel and PTW Architects | ZHIG
CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURE | Mixed-use Development | Two iconic towers designed by Jean Nouvel for Block 2 of the Frasers Broadway project transform the skyline of Sydney. The program includes a 34-story residential apartment tower and a 12-story serviced apartment tower set on a common retail podium.The 130 meter high building is the culminating landmark of the multi-building Frasers Broadway project, located on a former brewery site near the downtown. A vertical landscape designed in collaboration with French botanist and artist Patrick Blanc covers approximately 50% of the building’s façade area. The landscape extends the planted area of the adjacent urban park vertically onto the building, creating an exceptional living environment for the building’s residents and a powerful green icon on the Sydney skyline. Hydroponic walls and low profile horizontal planters and support cables integrated into the tower’s facades support a variety of climbing and spreading plants. The plants act as a natural sun control device that changes with the seasons, shielding the apartments from direct sun during summer while admitting a maximum of sunlight in winter. A combination of sustainable design strategies makes Block 2 the first residential tower in Sydney to achieve a 6 Green Star rating.The apartments and serviced apartments feature indoor/outdoor loggias that extend the living space outside to take maximum advantage of Sydney’s temperate climate. On the north and east façades, the loggias extend in from the façade to protect residents from noise, wind and sun. On the south and west they extend out from the façade to take maximum advantage of views toward the park. | https://static.wixstatic.com/media/9756fd_2ee9853cd5a54937913e27a65e21ac03~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_531,h_710,al_c,q_85/One%20Central%20Park3.jpg 1/0 Private Public Pin Pin 0 x Appreciators 0 3D models Product 5.3K Views 0 Appreciated Appreciate Please login to appreciate One Central Park 614/3 Carlton Street, Chippendale NSW 2008, Australia Source: Published on Sep 26, 2023 by: Architectural Designer Grace Lee Premium Member More Buildings from Australia Facts: Up Up Architecture Office Ateliers Jean Nouvel France Category: CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURE Mixed-use Development Project Type: Post Type: Building Country: Australia Photographers: Architects: Ateliers Jean Nouvel and PTW Architects Area: 97,000 m² Year: 2014 City: Sydney Construction: - Client - Description: the architects Text description by Two iconic towers designed by Jean Nouvel for Block 2 of the Frasers Broadway project transform the skyline of Sydney.

- Hiža house | PROARH architects | ZHIG
RESIDENTIAL | Renovation | The Hiža house is a 230-square-meter renovation project by the Zagreb-based firm PROARH, led by architect Davor Matekovic, completed around 2015. Located on the green slopes near Kumrovec in the Zagorje region of Croatia, the project transformed a dilapidated, decades-old cottage into a modern and organic living space that honors local heritage. The design reinterprets traditional cottage architecture by combining natural materials with a bold, contemporary intervention. The main architectural feature of the renovation is the addition of a sleek glass and aluminum cube that replaces the old porch and slides outwards from the main thatched volume. This addition serves as a dynamic entrance and a living area that is oriented to receive maximum southern exposure. With sliding glass walls, the cube blurs the lines between indoor and outdoor spaces and opens up to a new wooden terrace that appears to hover over the hillside, offering expansive views of the Zagorje landscape. The traditional cottage form was preserved, but the architects enhanced its material palette by using locally sourced, rustic materials. The original thatched roof was replaced with a new one that extends down over the façade, and the gables were re-clad with wood. This innovative use of straw, considered an archaic material, creates a warm and earthy exterior that contrasts with the minimalist glass cube. The renovation also preserved the cottage's original stone pedestal, grounding the updated structure in its history. A pathway made of tree stumps leads to the entrance, further connecting the home with its natural surroundings. Inside, the house is organized across three floors: a basement, a ground floor for common living spaces (leisure, dining, and cooking areas), and a first floor for the sleeping areas. The ground floor is arranged around a central "hearth" in the traditional Zagorje manner. This approach of reinterpreting traditional construction technologies and using local, renewable resources demonstrates a commitment to sustainable, low-impact design. The project has received recognition, including being shortlisted for a World Architecture Festival Award in 2015.

- Writer's Studio | Eric J. Smith | ZHIG
RESIDENTIAL | Studio | Designed by New York-based architect Eric J. Smith, the Writer's Studio is a contemporary, off-grid sanctuary nestled on a forested property in Connecticut. Inspired by Henry David Thoreau's Walden, the peaceful retreat was created for a former Wall Street executive and lifelong poet seeking a quiet, secluded place for reflection and creativity. The studio’s striking design uses a blend of natural materials to create a modern cabin that harmonizes with its surroundings. The architecture of the Writer's Studio showcases a masterful use of contrasting elements: rugged stone with refined glass and a cantilevered structure that creates a sense of floating above the landscape. The outer walls are constructed from irregular fieldstone and bluestone, echoing the dry-stacked stone walls found throughout historic New England. The fieldstone gives the impression of repurposed ruins, while a robust steel structure within provides modern stability and insulation. A glass-walled writing room dramatically cantilevers over a rocky ravine, providing a dynamic connection to nature. Inside, the studio is a cozy and functional space. Fumed oak planks are used for the floors and ceilings, adding warmth and texture. Built-in oak shelving provides ample storage for the owner’s extensive collection of 1,700 volumes of poetry and conceals a trundle bed for guests. The writing desk faces the large glass wall, ensuring that the forest views remain the focal point. To preserve the valuable poetry collection, the studio was equipped with a state-of-the-art geothermal heating and cooling system. The studio is also relatively "off the grid," with a self-sufficient energy system that minimizes its environmental footprint. Awards and recognition The Writer's Studio has received significant industry recognition for its exceptional design: Dezeen Awards 2021: Voted winner for Small Interior of the Year. 2020 Dezeen Awards: Longlisted in the Small Building category. 2023 SARA National Design Awards: National Winner for Design Excellence in the Small Projects category.

- Maison Silex (Flint Shelter) | TAM Architecte | ZHIG
RESIDENTIAL | Tiny Home | Completed in 2019, Maison Silex (Flint Shelter) is a tiny, 45-square-meter cabin designed by Maud Thoumyre of TAM Architecte. Situated in the village of Veules-les-Roses along France's Alabaster Coast, the cabin draws inspiration from the area's history and landscape, which is defined by flint, brick, and sandstone. The cabin's design is a protective response to the coastal climate, acting as a shelter from the harsh wind, rain, and sea spray. The house is intentionally reminiscent of the area's historic flint-and-brick homes. The small structure is built into a grassy cliffside slope overlooking the sea. Its design emphasizes the dichotomy between being open to the sun and sea during the day and closed off for intimacy and security in the evening. The exterior features load-bearing flint walls, referencing the material common in the region, while the interior is finished with slate flooring. A wood-burning fireplace provides warmth and a cozy atmosphere against the coastal storms. The cabin's windows provide views of the sea, which, along with the sky, are a constant part of the cabin's experience.

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

- Energy Roof Perugia | Coop Himmelb(l)au | ZHIG
COMMERCIAL | Office | The project for a new glass gallery along Via Mazzini in the center of Perugia, covered by the Energy Roof, creates the entry point to the underground archaeological passage that connects the city center with the MiniMetro station Pincetto. A new public space and attractor takes shape. Its history, dynamic circulation flows, and urban liveliness defines the place.The paradigmatic design of the Energy Roof creates a distinctive and highly recognizable icon for the city, and a statement for aesthetic sustainability, corresponding with the ancient buildings of Via Mazzini. It marks the entrance to the underground archaeological passage leading through the history of Perugia. The underground passage is not only a shortcut between the city center and the arrival point of the MiniMetro station Pincetto, but also an exhibition space. Historical documents show the existence of the old Etruscan city wall in the area below Piazza Giacomo Matteotti which Coop Himmelb(l)au proposes to excavate as part of an underground public gallery space exhibiting the history of Perugia. Controlled views and look-out points make orientation easy. Openings in the ground of the Piazza Giacomo Matteotti visually connect the underground passage with the Energy Roof. The roof design is driven by the generation of energy for the city, and inspired by the shape of a propeller. While the orientation of the west wing is optimized in relation to solar radiation, the east wing captures wind. The roof consists of three layers: the energy-generating top layer, the structural layer in the middle, and a bottom layer composed of laminated glazing and translucent pneumatic cushions. The top layer includes transparent photovoltaic cells to generate electricity and shade. The orientation of the individual cells is generated and optimized by a computer- operated script. Furthermore, five wind turbines that are placed inside the structural layer are generating additional energy. Both the roof and the underground passage are energy self-sufficient. During the design process of the energy roof, a special focus has been put on using photovoltaic cells as functional and aesthetic elements. To maintain visual connections to the surroundings, we propose to use frameless glass elements with integrated transparent photovoltaic cells for the top layer of the roof. Shading, energy generation and architectural integration are combined into one element. The chosen geometry of the panels follows the overall shape of the Energy Roof, and curved lines made of photovoltaic cells are created. The photovoltaic elements are peeling off the surface and tilted towards the sun where the roof area is oriented to the North East. The resulting gaps are closed by passive glass panels which appear similar to the active panels. Considering the technological advances in 2009, this installation creates a photovoltaic energy generator with a performance of around 73 kWp. The annual output of 100 MWh provides a major contribution to environmentally friendly generation of energy. With the wind turbines and an additional performance of around 25 kWp a peak performance of around 100KWp is reached. Structural description – Preliminary The roof consists of three layers with the structural layer in the middle. The other two layers are the energy-generating top layer and the glazed bottom layer. In the summer, the east wing of the rotor blade-shaped roof captures wind, thus providing ventilation for cooling. The structure, therefore, has to be sufficiently open to drive the fresh air to the street level from above. The roof structure is approximately 80 meters long and supported by a tripod in the center. There are ten members connecting the roof structure to the tripod. It is about 16 meters wide at both ends while in the middle part, around the supporting points, the roof slims. The geometry of the structure is determined by crossed planes that are arrayed in a longitudinal direction. The intersection of the planes and the geometry of the “propeller” defines the perimeter of the load-bearing structure. To provide sufficient ventilation and reduce the self-weight of the structure, holes are cut out of the planes in a way that the remaining areas are connected and perform as a rigid and optimized composition. These connected planes consist of single beams and act as trusses. There are four, approximately 80-meter-long primary frames spanning from one end to the other. An additional six frames on either side stiffen the structure. The main and the secondary trusses are connected by perpendicular frames. If the trusses are covered, the air ventilates through the openings located in the primary and secondary frames. To avoid tilting or rotating around the tripod, the construction is stabilized by tension bars on both sides. These are placed within the area of the streets and therefore avoid introducing any loads to the historical buildings. | https://static.wixstatic.com/media/9756fd_2dd11ec58c5344178d0108fec4ae27dc~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1800,h_1269,al_c,q_90/Energy%20Roof%20Perugia%20(1).jpg 1/0 Private Public Pin Pin 0 x Appreciators 0 3D models Product 5.7K Views 0 Appreciated Appreciate Please login to appreciate Energy Roof Perugia Via del Mezzanino, 06132 Perugia PG, Italy coop-himmelblau.at Source: Published on Oct 3, 2023 by: Civil Engineer Rosa Garcia Premium Member More Buildings from Italy Facts: Up Up Architecture Office Coop Himmelb(l)au Austria Category: COMMERCIAL Office Project Type: Post Type: Building Country: Italy k18.pictures Photographers: Architects: Coop Himmelb(l)au Area: 600 m² Year: City: Perugia Construction: Client Università degli Sudi di Perugia, Description: the architects Text description by The project for a new glass gallery along Via Mazzini in the center of Perugia, covered by the Energy Roof, creates the entry point to the underground archaeological passage that connects the city center with the MiniMetro station Pincetto.

- Cabin Solena | Desterro Arquitetos | ZHIG
RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | Completed in 2021, Cabin Solena by Desterro Arquitetos is a 28-square-meter micro-dwelling and retreat located on a rural property in Flores da Cunha, Brazil. The clients sought a refuge that would allow for a deep connection with nature. The project is composed of two distinct volumes and is focused on immersing guests in the surrounding natural environment, which includes fruit trees, a small creek, and local wildlife. The main volume of the cabin features a gable roof that extends nearly to the ground, with floor-to-ceiling windows at either end providing expansive views of the natural scenery. Inside this space, a bed and a small kitchenette are arranged, along with a wood-burning stove for heating. A skylight in the roof allows for both daytime and nighttime sky viewing. A smaller, attached volume contains the bathroom, which also features a floor-to-ceiling window to connect the user with nature while showering. A commitment to integration with nature is highlighted by the architects' decision not to install blinds or curtains, allowing for a direct experience of the weather, time of day, and sounds of the outdoors. The program extends outdoors onto a deck, which features an outdoor table, grill, and a wood-fired hot tub. The use of fire is a key element of the experience, utilized in the hot tub, grill, and indoor stove. The entire interior is clad in wood, and the structure is supported by a metal frame that touches the ground at minimal points to respect the terrain.

- Kaggeboda House | AndrénFogelström (in collaboration with Kolman Boye Architects) | ZHIG
RESIDENTIAL | Summer House | The Kaggeboda House, a summer retreat designed by Stockholm-based AndrénFogelström in collaboration with Kolman Boye Architects, is a unique arrangement of three separate cabins nestled in the Stockholm archipelago. Completed in 2013, the design is centered on encouraging an intimate connection with nature by requiring residents to step outside to move between different living areas. The house offers a modern take on the traditional Swedish summer cottage, with a decentralized layout that has gained particular relevance for its innovative approach to small-scale living. The project is conceptualized as a "mini village" where three cabins of varying sizes are arranged in close relation to one another on a shared wooden deck. The dark, strong exterior and light, simple interior are designed to harmonize with the surrounding pine forest and the rocky terrain of Norrtälje, Sweden. Exterior: The facades are clad in a dark, phenol-coated plywood, typically used for forming concrete, which gives the cabins a distinctive, weather-resistant finish. The doors, also dark and industrial, are made from the same metal sheeting used for the roofs. Interior: In contrast to the tough exterior, the interiors are bright, warm, and serene, clad entirely in white-waxed birch plywood. The attention to detail is evident in the seamless, custom-built furniture and aligned wood joints, which give the space the feel of a meticulously crafted object. The three buildings serve distinct purposes: Main Cabin: The largest of the three contains an open-plan living room, kitchen, bedroom, and dining area, all centered around a wood-burning stove. Mid-size Cabin: The second building houses a study and a guest room. Smallest Cabin: The third cabin is used for storage but was designed to be flexible enough to be converted into a bathroom if needed. Outdoor living: The wooden deck connects the cabins and functions as an extension of the living space, featuring various lounge areas and an outdoor kitchen. The arrangement emphasizes outdoor living and the simple beauty of a summer spent close to nature.
