RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | Constructed by architecture and urban design students Timm Bergmann and Jonas Becker, who would later go on to found Studio Politaire, the "Small but Fine" Off-grid Cabin was completed in 2018 in a remote forest in Finland. The 280-square-foot structure was built on a modest budget of approximately $14,000, with the designers doing most of the work themselves. The off-grid cabin was designed as a simple and functional retreat to live in and reflect on self-reliance. Built on a rocky plot with a natural flat spot near a lake, the cabin’s design features four slightly offset rooms spread across a total floor space of 26.8 square meters, offering a different view of the surrounding landscape from each staggered window. The cabin's off-grid utilities include a water pump, a three-phase sewage system, and a hot water supply powered by solar energy and a wood-burning stove. To accommodate the cabin's location on swampy soil with no vehicular access, the designers first built a 650-foot-long elevated pathway to the nearest road. The foundation was built using concrete-filled steel pipes anchored into bedrock to ensure durability. The minimalist interior features wood-paneled walls and flooring, with plywood boards lining the ceilings. A wood-burning stove provides heat, while large windows allow natural light to flood the space and connect the occupants with nature. A small deck outside provides an open-air area for a tranquil retreat.

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 | Cabin | Designed by Oslo-based Vardehaugen Architects and led by Håkon Matre Aasarød, Cabin Vindheim is a 55-square-meter retreat in the alpine landscape near Lillehammer, Norway, and was completed in 2016 for a private client. The cabin draws inspiration from the classic image of snowbound cabins, where only the roof protrudes through the snow, and blends into its surroundings with deep gables that extend to the ground. The structure's angular shape and black-stained pinewood cladding contrast with the dramatic white winter landscape. The interior, which is spacious despite its compact size, is clad in a waxed poplar veneer, with uplifts in the sloped ceiling creating a rich spatial experience. An uninterrupted ceiling connects the living room, bedroom, ski room, and a small utility annex. A large, 4-meter-long window in the bedroom offers views of the treetops and night sky, enhancing the feeling of sleeping within nature. The off-grid cabin relies on solar power and a wood oven for energy. A unique and playful feature is the cabin's roof, which doubles as a ski slope or toboggan run during the snowy winters.

RESIDENTIAL | House | The House on the Pond, or Maison sur l'Étang in French, is a secondary dwelling designed by Montreal-based Atelier Échelle. Located in the rural municipality of Austin in Québec, Canada, the project was completed in 2023. Created to complement the client's ancestral home on the same property, the house was envisioned as a compact yet versatile "jewel box" with a strong connection to its natural surroundings. The design of the 120-square-meter house is a modern reinterpretation of traditional Québec agrarian architecture. Atelier Échelle successfully navigated tight local building regulations, which capped the floor area, by maximizing covered terraces and creating a flexible interior layout. The house is elevated on an insulated concrete block foundation, with a lower level carved into the ground, and a mezzanine level built into the gabled roof. This design allows the building to adapt to the seasons, with expanded outdoor spaces in favorable weather and a cozy, protected interior during winter. The interior spaces are characterized by warmth, timelessness, and a connection to nature. A double-height living room on the main level is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and large windows that provide expansive views of the adjacent pond and distant mountains. The kitchen features custom rift-cut white oak millwork and a gold-streaked white quartzite counter. The primary bedroom is located on the mezzanine level, while a children's bunk room is tucked into the subterranean level. The basement also includes a TV lounge and a bathroom. The choice of materials emphasizes durability, sustainability, and a respectful connection to the local environment. The exterior cladding and decks are made of Kebony, a sustainable, modified wood product. The interiors feature rift-cut white oak millwork and unlacquered brass hardware, which will develop a rich patina over time. A soft, putty-colored sandstone is used for the sunken fire pit, complementing the gold-streaked quartzite in the kitchen.

Located in the rural municipality of Austin in Québec, Canada, the project was completed in 2023. Created to complement the client's ancestral home on the same property, the house was envisioned as a compact yet versatile "jewel box" with a strong connection to its natural surroundings. The design of the 120-square-meter house is a modern reinterpretation of traditional Québec agrarian architecture. Atelier Échelle successfully navigated tight local building regulations, which capped the floor area, by maximizing covered terraces and creating a flexible interior layout. The house is elevated on an insulated concrete block foundation, with a lower level carved into the ground, and a mezzanine level built into the gabled roof. This design allows the building to adapt to the seasons, with expanded outdoor spaces in favorable weather and a cozy, protected interior during winter. The interior spaces are characterized by warmth, timelessness, and a connection to nature. A double-height living room on the main level is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and large windows that provide expansive views of the adjacent pond and distant mountains.

We are founded on the belief that design is best expressed in a holistic approach and thinking at multiple scales. We have been busy creating interiors, exteriors, furniture, and everything in between, and we love to think of our studio as a means of exploration, creation, and collaboration with our clients. Founded by Veronica and Mathieu Lemieux-Blanchard, Atelier Échelle evolves on the premise that a project developed on both exterior and interior scales unifies and enhances its architectural expression. Veronica and Mathieu met while studying for their Master's in Architecture at Harvard University. They subsequently pursued their respective careers in architecture and interior design before finally joining forces at Gachot Studio and eventually founding Atelier Échelle. Their experience ranges from institutional projects to hotels, restaurants, residences, and retail outlets of all sizes.

We share our name with a beautiful, remote, and historically important mountain in central Norway. Snøhetta is a place nobody is from, but anyone can experience. Creating places for societies to connect with each other and with the world around them is a primary motivation in our work. Dialogue and diversity empower this approach. Snøhetta first significant commission was in 1989 for Bibliotheca Alexandrina, reviving the ancient library in Alexandria, Egypt. This was followed by commissions for the Norwegian National Opera and Ballet in Oslo and the National September 11 Memorial Museum Pavilion at the World Trade Center in New York City. Since those early projects, many other internationally acclaimed works have been realized around the globe. source: snohetta.com Category Opera house Post Type Building Project Type CULTURAL Country South Korea Year 2024 Area 48 000 m2 Client Busan Metropolitan City Government Photographers 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

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. 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.

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.

Completed in 2024, the cabin serves as a seasonal extension to an existing cottage on the property. The cabin is a contemporary interpretation of traditional cottage aesthetics, respectfully designed to complement the existing structures on the island. It features a standing-seam metal cladding that creates a continuous surface from the roof to the walls, giving it a sleek, modern appearance. Situated on a rugged, rocky outcrop, the cabin is oriented to maximize views of the expansive Georgian Bay. Its position was carefully planned to meet zoning bylaws and avoid obstructing views from neighboring properties. The all-metal cladding was chosen for its durability, protecting the structure from the severe weather conditions of the Georgian Bay region, including high winds, heavy snow, and lake exposure. A thin steel drip edge acts as a protective "eyebrow" over windows, directing rain away from the facade. In contrast to the restrained exterior, the cabin's interior is colorful and playful, with sloped ceilings and large windows that create a vibrant atmosphere. The space is designed to be versatile, functioning as a guest room, a lounge, or a workspace. The cabin is elevated to protect it from fluctuating lake levels and built to withstand the region's extreme climate. Small awning windows framed in natural ash allow for cross-ventilation during the warmer seasons, acting as "portals" to the surrounding nature. A centrally located skylight illuminates the interior, enhancing the sense of space and tranquility. Project credits Architect: Daymark Design Incorporated.

Located in the Muskoka region of Ontario, Canada, it is the smallest of several cabins on a family-owned property. It is tucked into the treeline on a steep slope, providing a quiet escape from the main, multi-generational family cottages below. The cabin reinterprets the traditional A-frame design with two intersecting, offset gables that create distinct volumes and elevations. This split-roof design, inspired by the layered shale rock formations found in the area, allows for carefully placed window openings that offer curated views of the forest and the lake. The design emphasizes both a strong connection to nature and a commitment to sustainability. The exterior features greyed wood siding and natural cedar soffits, which are intended to patina over time and blend further into the rustic landscape. The foundation consists of board-formed concrete that sits lightly on the existing rock contours, avoiding any need for invasive blasting. Inside, the home is functional despite its compact size, with built-in storage and benches. A variety of FSC-rated wood species line the interior, including oak flooring, maple plywood partitions, and Western red cedar slats for the ceiling, which echo the surrounding forest. The interior perimeter walls are clad in white wallboard. The home's layout features a main living area with a fireplace and a kitchen on the lower level, a bedroom with a large window and forest views at the rear, and an upper loft with a built-in desk and extra sleeping space. The large, geometric windows frame views, flood the interior with natural light, and create dramatic angular shadows that change throughout the day. In the evening, the warmly lit cedar interior transforms the cabin into a glowing lantern among the trees. Sustainable features include thickened walls with an R-value over 40, triple-glazed windows for passive insulation, and low-flow, low-energy fixtures.

Designed as a prototype for a new resort project, the lodge is intended for adventure lovers, offering ski-in/ski-out and bike-in/bike-out access. The project emphasizes a strong connection to nature and a flexible, space-efficient living experience, inspired by the "van life" movement. The Go-Box design philosophy revolves around offering portable, prefab structures that can be combined and customized. For Cécile Lodge, the clients needed a small space with large floor-to-ceiling windows to invite the outdoors in. The result is a highly functional interior that incorporates movable, built-in furniture, reminiscent of a game of Tetris. A key feature is the convertible living area, which uses a pull-out bed to transform the main space into a large bedroom at night, suitable for a couple with two children. The interior boasts a simple aesthetic with finishes made from either Russian ply or pine. A small kitchenette is integrated into the layout, featuring a gas stove, kitchen accessories, and a mini-fridge. A full bathroom with a toilet and shower is also included. Outside, the lodge is finished with a low-maintenance steel exterior and a cedar or pine terrace, while inside, comfort is ensured with insulation and the option for a heat pump and heated floors. Located in the forest with mountain views, Cécile Lodge is off-grid but is equipped with a well and septic system. It serves as a retreat for those who wish to disconnect from daily life, refuel their energy, and immerse themselves in the surrounding natural environment.

Completed in 2024, the house is a contemporary interpretation of a traditional wooden cabin. Its minimalist footprint and design focus on reducing its impact on the site's unique trees and rocks. The home's spatial experience is characterized by a deliberate alternation between open and sheltered areas. The main living area features extensive glazing, stretching toward the forest and opening onto a terrace that extends the interior outward. The house's location allows the seasonal foliage to either warm the interior with sunlight or cool it by filtering the light. Functional elements such as the kitchen, storage, and mechanical systems are integrated into a central block of furniture, optimizing function while minimizing the built area and concealing conduits for a cleaner aesthetic. A low-ceilinged threshold marks the transition to the private night zone, which includes two bedrooms flanking a central block of water features. The project's material strategy emphasizes a more economical and frugal use of wood compared to glued laminated timber. It celebrates the precision of the assemblies and the beauty of raw materials. This approach highlights an architecture that is contextually rooted, humble, and poetic, and demonstrates a deep respect for Quebec's natural environment and modern issues of sustainability.

Designed by la Shed Architecture and completed in 2019, the project consists of a main house and a guest cabin, which serve as a retreat for a couple. Situated on a hillside with panoramic views of the sea, the house was conceived to provide a sophisticated getaway in a windswept landscape of shores, meadows, and dunes. The design is a modern interpretation of the traditional shingled houses and fishing huts found on the islands, but with a unique, contemporary twist. Instead of traditional vestibules, the architects used asymmetric gabled forms that appear sculptural and well-anchored in the local context. The exterior of the house and cabin is clad in untreated, natural-colored cedar shingles, which are left to weather naturally and harmonize with the coastal environment. Large windows are strategically placed to maximize the 360-degree views of the maritime landscape. Inside, the home features a minimalist and airy aesthetic. The open-plan layout creates a spacious feel within the compact footprint. The material palette includes both natural wood and clean, modern finishes. The project, including both the main house and guest cabin, has been recognized for its design, receiving a Platinum award at the 14th edition of the GRANDS PRIX DU DESIGN.

Completed in 2015, the project is located in Upper Kingsburg, Nova Scotia, on architect Brian MacKay-Lyons's Shobac farm, a "Ghost Architectural Laboratory" and campus that serves as a research ground for the firm. The small, gabled volume functions as a gatehouse on the property, creating a dialogue with adjacent historic structures. Clad in Cor-Ten steel, its rusty orange exterior intentionally contrasts with the surrounding landscape of rolling pastures and the silver-grey finishes of other campus buildings. The design is practical for the region's climate, with a lack of eaves to prevent ice dam formation in an area known for a high number of freeze/thaw cycles. Raised off the ground by three reinforced concrete fin walls, the structure is designed to "touch the land lightly," a principle inspired by Australian architect Glenn Murcutt. These fin walls also extend to shape an entry dooryard and a fire court, integrating the house with its immediate surroundings. Inside, the home explores the beauty of raw materials and simple construction. Exposed wood framing and Douglas fir plywood sheathing create a warm, rustic interior, with Cor-Ten steel details echoing the exterior. A central plywood-sheathed core contains the more "finished" service areas, like the kitchen and bathroom. Expansive windows, including a large corner window, frame views of the pastoral valley and the Atlantic coast, connecting the minimalist interior with the dramatic landscape.

Designed for a self-builder couple, the 1,296-square-foot cabin (36x36 feet) combines ecological architecture, universal accessibility, and a resort-like experience into a single, cohesive design. The structure is defined by its striking, all-white exterior, which evokes the tranquil, restful properties of the selenite mineral. The architects created this effect with white-painted wooden planks and matching metal roof panels. The geometry of the roof, designed as two inverted crystal-like prisms, gives the structure its unique, modern form while referencing the mineral's crystalline nature. Square skylights punctuate the peaks of these roofs, flooding the interior with natural light and emphasizing the home's sense of balance and symmetry. In addition to its aesthetic vision, the project prioritized universal accessibility to ensure the space is functional and safe for as many users as possible, addressing a common limitation in vacation properties. The interior is a haven of wellness, featuring amenities like a steam bath, sauna, cold bath, and a salt room. A home automation system controls lighting synchronized to the circadian rhythm and can even launch guided meditation sessions. The monochromatic white palette and high ceilings in key areas, such as the living room and bathroom, amplify the peaceful and restful atmosphere. Sustainability was a key consideration in the build, with the clients opting for healthy, local materials like hemp wool for insulation. To enhance the sense of seclusion and wellness, a Faraday cage was installed to block electromagnetic waves, catering to those with electro-sensitivity.

Completed in 2023 for a couple who run a local excavation business, the home was conceived as a resilient and thoughtful beach house that celebrates both its dramatic coastal location and the local construction trades. The design is a deliberate contrast of elements, combining a minimalist, boxy form with robust, durable materials chosen to withstand the harsh Atlantic climate of heavy winds and rain. The exterior is clad in Eastern white cedar and weathering steel, which will gracefully age and patina over time to blend with the weathered shoreline. A striking Corten steel staircase wraps around the building's exterior, leading to an elevated viewing deck that offers expansive vistas of the bay. This industrial detailing, along with the home's sturdy construction, gives it a tough, resilient character. Inside, the home is a celebration of craftsmanship, light, and an open layout designed to connect with the landscape. A custom-built kitchen island serves as a central hearth for social gatherings, while strategically placed windows frame views and fill the space with natural light. The material palette is a thoughtful mix of timber, plywood, and other natural materials. A master bedroom hovers over the living area, featuring a glazed corner that allows for immersive views of the bay. The home's design and build were approached on a humble budget, with local connections to regional trades and manufacturers fostering lasting relationships and resulting in a well-crafted dwelling built to last.

Completed in 2024, the two-story house is set on a challenging, steep, and densely wooded site overlooking Lac Notre-Dame in the Laurentian Mountains. The project was a collaboration between founders Sophie Robitaille and Andrew Curtis, along with their design team. The design of Chalet Papillon prioritized minimal environmental disturbance and deforestation. The architects achieved this by positioning the house parallel to the site's contours, with one end dramatically hovering over a granite ledge. This placement allows for panoramic lake and forest views while respecting the natural topography. The chalet is clad in locally sourced eastern white cedar, which weathers to a gray tone that blends with the surrounding tree bark. The interior of Chalet Papillon features an inverted floor plan. The main living area, including the kitchen, dining, and living spaces, is on the upper level, offering expansive views through large windows and a covered, screened-in porch. Inside, the use of pale timber, white walls, and concrete floors creates a bright, spacious, and airy atmosphere. The lower level houses the sleeping quarters, which are nestled within the forest for privacy. This level includes three bunk bedrooms, a bathroom, a playroom, and access to another covered porch. The efficient layout allows the chalet to comfortably sleep up to twelve people. Sustainable design principles were integral to the project, with a focus on maximizing daylight and views while minimizing energy consumption. The thermal envelope is highly insulated, and the design features efficient appliances, LED lighting, and high-performance windows. An intentionally designed path winds down from the lower porch, providing a direct connection to the water's edge.

Completed in 2024, the cabin's design is a modern tribute to the area's logging mill history, incorporating locally sourced, heavy timbers that are exposed on both the interior and exterior. The structure is located directly adjacent to the waterfront, an atypical positioning made possible by grandfathered regulations that allow it to be sited close to the lake while preserving the existing tree cover. The cabin is raised off the ground, requiring no excavation and minimizing its impact on the natural grade. The architectural approach emphasizes a connection to nature through its materials and siting. The mass timber frame provides a natural, rustic aesthetic, while a generous roof overhang offers protection from the summer sun. Inside, the heavy timber frame is left exposed, adding warmth and character, with elements like the wet bar, featuring Douglas fir timber and Canadian granite, creating a play of light and shadow.

Located in the rural municipality of Austin in Québec, Canada, the project was completed in 2023. Created to complement the client's ancestral home on the same property, the house was envisioned as a compact yet versatile "jewel box" with a strong connection to its natural surroundings. The design of the 120-square-meter house is a modern reinterpretation of traditional Québec agrarian architecture. Atelier Échelle successfully navigated tight local building regulations, which capped the floor area, by maximizing covered terraces and creating a flexible interior layout. The house is elevated on an insulated concrete block foundation, with a lower level carved into the ground, and a mezzanine level built into the gabled roof. This design allows the building to adapt to the seasons, with expanded outdoor spaces in favorable weather and a cozy, protected interior during winter. The interior spaces are characterized by warmth, timelessness, and a connection to nature. A double-height living room on the main level is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and large windows that provide expansive views of the adjacent pond and distant mountains. The kitchen features custom rift-cut white oak millwork and a gold-streaked white quartzite counter. The primary bedroom is located on the mezzanine level, while a children's bunk room is tucked into the subterranean level. The basement also includes a TV lounge and a bathroom. The choice of materials emphasizes durability, sustainability, and a respectful connection to the local environment. The exterior cladding and decks are made of Kebony, a sustainable, modified wood product. The interiors feature rift-cut white oak millwork and unlacquered brass hardware, which will develop a rich patina over time. A soft, putty-colored sandstone is used for the sunken fire pit, complementing the gold-streaked quartzite in the kitchen.

Designed by Montreal-based architecture firm Atelier l'Abri and completed in 2022, the project consists of several minimalist cabins and communal structures spread across a rugged landscape. The core philosophy behind the design was to create a harmonious balance between nature and architecture, promoting a low-impact, intimate, and immersive experience for guests. The cabins at Territoire Charlevoix are a product of Atelier l'Abri's ongoing reflection on "our relationship with the territory and how to inhabit it". The five small, autonomous shelters offer comfortable immersion in nature, both in summer and winter. Their orientation and carefully chosen locations provide privacy and generous views of the natural surroundings. The cabins are elevated on slender legs, a design choice that minimizes their impact on the ground and avoids the need for heavy machinery for traditional foundations. This preserves the forest environment and limits deforestation. The design balances rusticity with modernity, using limited and efficient materials to create warm, functional spaces that encourage a slower pace of life. The Territoire Charlevoix project extends beyond just the sleeping cabins. The site also includes modules for communal areas, such as viewing platforms, shared kitchens, and a visitor center with a forest buvette. The facility operates year-round, allowing visitors to experience the region's diverse landscapes and activities throughout the seasons.

This off-grid, A-frame-inspired cabin offers a unique and minimalist nature immersion for two to four guests. The project was completed in 2019. The design reinterprets the classic A-frame cabin, popular in North America since the 1950s, with a modern, minimalist aesthetic. The iconic triangular shape creates a simple, sculptural structure while offering a functional and nature-oriented space. The off-grid shelter was built on-site by Atelier l'Abri's construction team, demonstrating a commitment to hands-on, site-specific design. The structure is clad in natural cedar board and batten, which will weather over time to a silvery hue, helping it blend into the forest. A covered terrace expands the living space, creating an ideal spot to enjoy the outdoors even when the weather is less favorable. The long roof is clad in steel, a nod to timeless, rural buildings. The minimalist and efficient interior makes clever use of space and maximizes natural light. Large bay windows offer uninterrupted views of the forest and the reservoir below, flooding the interior with light. An inclined ladder leads to a lofted bed area, which is suspended from the cathedral ceiling by steel rods, creating a focal point in the space. The ground floor includes a kitchenette and a dining table that can be converted into an additional bed, accommodating up to four people. A wood-burning stove provides warmth during the frosty Canadian winters, enhancing the cozy cabin atmosphere.

Commissioned by a client seeking a cozy, nature-immersed escape for themselves and their dog, the project blends functionality with an ultra-compact footprint. Affectionately dubbed "La Niche" (The Nook or Kennel) by its owners, the cabin's design features elements that evoke the image of a doghouse, such as its simple, gabled shape and arched doorway. Completed in 2024, the 60-square-meter (650-square-foot) cabin is distinguished by its understated elegance and minimalist design. It is part of the larger Kanata Tremblant estate, offering visitors a unique experience within a 3,000-acre wilderness area. An arched doorway frames views of the Boreal forest, while a high cathedral ceiling and natural light create a sense of spaciousness within the modest interior. The exterior is clad in horizontal wood slabs, which will weather to a silver tone over time, allowing the cabin to blend seamlessly with the surrounding deciduous forest. The use of 2x8 stud walls and bio-sourced cellulose fiber insulation also contributes to its energy efficiency and reduced carbon footprint. The design includes a screened porch, an efficient kitchen and living area, and an exterior hot tub, offering comfortable amenities for guests and their pets. The interior layout of the single-bedroom cottage is hyper-optimized for function and comfort. The open-plan living and kitchen area features an integrated arched nook within the kitchen cabinetry, providing a cozy space for both people and pets. Despite its size, the cabin feels airy and open thanks to the cathedral ceiling and strategic use of light. Refined interior details and custom furniture modules were included to maximize space while ensuring a refined experience.

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

The project was developed on a limited budget, which was compensated by a long construction period involving friends and builders. The final design mimics the barn-like quality that the clients initially wanted to convert but could not find on the market. Following local building traditions, the exterior features plastered walls, built from lightweight concrete blocks, and a 45-degree gable roof clad in corrugated Aluzink steel sheets. The dimensions of the house and its openings were carefully planned to fit the size of the masonry blocks, minimizing material waste. Four large, 2.4x2m openings are arranged with rotational symmetry, one on each facade, giving the house a lack of hierarchy and treating all sides equally. Three of these are glazed doors, and one is a fixed window. The interior of HAMRA is one open space dominated by two plywood volumes that create areas for sleeping and play. All service functions, including technical equipment, water, and drainage, are organized along a narrow, 90cm-wide strip that runs through the house. Spatial elements like a kitchen, fireplace, stairs, storage, and bookshelves are also located along this strip. The furniture was largely assembled from salvaged or reused building materials. A corrugated steel ceiling and plastered walls give the interior an "outside but inside" quality, complemented by plywood-clad sections around two skylights. The kitchen features a 3.1x0.9-meter concrete bench with an integrated fireplace, cast in-situ, with cupboards made from remaining formwork plywood.

This Scandinavian-designed structure features a distinctive black timber exterior and floor-to-ceiling windows, ensuring ample natural light and views of the surrounding landscape. With a total area of 32 m², the cabin accommodates up to four guests and includes heated floors throughout for comfort. Designed explicitly as an offline retreat, Hop Farm Beach is devoid of WiFi and television, encouraging guests to disconnect from digital distractions. A wooden box near the entrance provides a dedicated space for phones during stays, further promoting a focus on relaxation and mindfulness. The interior design emphasizes natural materials and minimal furnishings, creating a serene environment that fosters stillness and a deep connection to the forest. Large windows not only frame picturesque views of the pine trees but also ensure privacy, as the nearest neighbors are located over a kilometer away. Project Credits Architect: Mette Fredskild Photography: Cole Roberts forest%20cabin%20sweden%2023.jpeg forest%20cabin%20sweden%204.jpeg 1/7 Hop Farm Beach HOSPITALITY Architects: Mette Fredskild Söderhamn, Sweden 159.Söderloftet by Fria Folket-Hanna Michelson (1).jpg 159.Söderloftet by Fria Folket-Hanna Michelson (10).jpg A tranquil wooden cabin perched on a hillside in Northern Sweden, the Söderloftet is a project by the architectural studio Fria Folket and is part of the Bergaliv landscape hotel. 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.

Completed in 2011, the architects found an old, small barn for sale outside the town of Borlänge, in the province of Dalarna, and were drawn to its straightforward, logical structure. The derelict building was carefully dismantled and moved to a more advantageous location on an old pasture near the shores of Lake Hjälmaren, a few kilometers from Arboga. This process of deconstruction and relocation formed a central theme of the project, sparking an internal discussion within the firm about construction, architecture, and the underlying tectonic elements of building traditions. The design sought to build upon the rustic character of the original structure while adding contemporary elements. After being reassembled, the granary's timber frame was placed on a new concrete plinth foundation. A load-bearing wooden framework was then added between the 15th and 16th timber rows, allowing for a full-height upper floor. The exterior of the new additions was treated with the same red paint as the original elements, ensuring a cohesive look. Following the construction, the house was left to settle for a year before the interior finishes were added. The interior of the house was kept simple and spare, with materials chosen for their availability and price. Oak wood, harvested from the site, and plywood from a local building supplier were used for the internal finishes. The internal walls of the upper floor were designed as floor-height trusses, a structural decision that eliminated the need for supports on the ground floor, creating a completely open-plan space. The ground floor features an open kitchen and living area, while the upper floor contains two bedrooms. Windows are carefully integrated, with large openings in the original timber walls and narrow, vertical windows on the upper floor, matching the new structural framework. The layout and material choices emphasize a connection to Swedish architectural tradition and the straightforwardness of the original barn structure.

The house, completed in 2021, served as a prototype for a new housing model and later led to the creation of the company gimme shelter solutions, founded by Holmberg in 2018. The design consists of two separate wooden modules: a larger, 32-square-meter living unit and a smaller, 10-square-meter sleeping unit. These units are linked by a sheltered outdoor space, allowing for a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor life. The project's aesthetic is influenced by traditional Swedish building methods, particularly the use of prefabricated parts to reduce cost, and by Japanese architecture, which emphasizes simplicity and a connection to nature. The modules feature wide verandas and large windows that frame panoramic views of the surrounding forest, further blurring the line between the built and natural environment. The gimme shelter solutions company builds upon this initial project by offering a "Lego-like" system of prefabricated modular homes. Customers can combine various modules of different sizes to create a personalized, unique home that suits their needs and budget. This scalable approach allows homeowners to start small and expand their living space over time if their circumstances change. Beyond the standard living units, the company also offers specialized modules such as yoga studios, workshops, and saunas, all designed with sustainability in mind.

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 2022, the private weekend retreat is located within the coastal Tjurpannan Nature Reserve in western Sweden. The area is known for its austere, windswept character, and the design takes inspiration from local vernacular architecture, specifically the boathouses and jetties found in the region. The architects conceived of the cabin as a simple, rustic, and flexible base for outdoor activities. The house was built with a low-profile and dark, natural colors to help it blend into the surrounding landscape. All the exterior timber was treated with tar, a traditional preservation method that provides a beautiful matte black finish and recalls the aesthetics of the nearby boathouses. The structure is raised off the ground on concrete piers anchored directly into the rock. This approach minimizes the cabin's environmental impact on the rocky terrain and protects it from the risk of flooding. An old stone wall on the property leads to a natural path that guides visitors toward the entrance. Inside, the house continues its minimalist and rustic aesthetic. The interior is also clad in wood, but stained a dark brown to frame the nature outside. The spatial organization is derived from a structural grid of standard wooden elements, which allows for visual connections between rooms. Full-height windows and glass doors provide stunning views of the coastal reserve and offer access to narrow decks. A large canopy extends from the house, creating a sense of horizontality that anchors the structure in its context and protects the terrace from the elements.

This type of small, detached structure is a Swedish typology that does not require a full building permit, allowing homeowners to add additional space for purposes such as guesthouses, home offices, or rental units. Situated at the edge of a residential property, the guesthouse frames the garden between the main house and natural rock formations, creating a secluded and intimate space. The design is a thoughtful blend of Scandinavian minimalism and natural materials. The exterior is clad in untreated heart pine, nailed with dome-headed stainless steel nails, and left to naturally age and blend into its surroundings. The windows are made of oiled oak, and the roof and gutters are zinc, adding a durable and modern touch. The interior palette mirrors the exterior with a pine floor, a pine kitchen, and an oak countertop, creating a cohesive and minimalist aesthetic. The compact layout includes two rooms, a bathroom, and a loft accessed by a ladder, which provides additional sleeping or storage space. The bedroom faces south, while the living room and kitchen are oriented east and north, maximizing natural light throughout the day. The result is a versatile and inviting living space that functions as both a guesthouse for family and friends and a studio during the summer months.

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.

The house, with its striking triangular profile, was conceived as a "treehouse for adults" and is nestled between a forest and a cow pasture, with panoramic views toward a nearby lake. To maximize the benefits of its scenic location, the house features three distinct levels, with a bay window on each to frame different views and create a sense of discovery as one climbs the internal stairs. The open-plan, split-level design creates a hierarchy of spaces, from the more communal living room and kitchen on the ground floor to the more intimate sleeping areas on the upper levels. The top-floor bedroom is designed to feel like a sleeping nest under the stars. A playful and interactive element of the design is the steeply inclined facade, which serves as a climbing wall, complete with a rope hanging from the peak of the roof for access. A large timber deck extends from the front of the house, offering additional living space with swings and lounges. The house was built entirely from wood, with a frame of wooden beams forming the A-frame structure. The exterior is clad in Swedish pine treated with a grey-hued pigmented wood protection from SiOO:X on the gables and a green "forest" colored treatment on other sides to help it blend with the woodland. Inside, the walls, ceiling, and floors are lined with birch plywood salvaged from a dismantled puzzle factory, and custom-built furniture was crafted from plywood to suit the split-level design.

Designed by LLP Arkitektkontor, the house sits on a field surrounded by open plateaus and meadows, situated between the Baltic Sea and a historic 15th-century mansion. The design is a modern interpretation of the area's agricultural architecture, featuring a barn-like facade and gabled roof. The house was constructed with a larch wood facade and a roof of fiber cement boards, materials chosen to reflect its rural setting. An upper terrace provides commanding views of the Baltic Sea, and large sliding glass doors connect the interior with a covered outdoor entrance space. To provide security during the winter and shade in the summer, the house is equipped with larch shutters. The interior features a high-ceilinged, open-plan space with a fireplace, with the ground floor designed to offer deep sightlines through the building. A staircase leads to the upper floor, which includes open bookshelves and additional living and bedroom spaces. The floor is made of solid wood, with the entrance featuring an exposed concrete foundation slab.

Instead of a single, large structure, the design is composed of several small, interconnected timber volumes, each with a distinct purpose, such as a bedroom unit, a communal living area, or a reading room. This clustered arrangement is a modern interpretation of local settlement patterns and allows for flexible expansion with additional units in the future. The house stands on a continuous concrete platform that also serves as the interior flooring, echoing Gotland's characteristic limestone bedrock. The exterior is clad in solid larch wood boards, a regional tradition, which will naturally weather from a golden brown to a silver-grey color over time. Inside, the walls are covered in birch plywood, which provides a warm and inviting contrast to the bare concrete floor. The interiors are characterized by an austere minimalism, with storage and furniture seamlessly integrated into the walls to emphasize the simple intersecting surfaces. Large, frameless windows and a sliding door create carefully framed views of the surrounding field, fostering a sense of continuity between the house and the natural landscape.

The area is part of a national park, characterized by rounded, wind-worn granite rocks and leaning trees. As part of a larger family compound with other houses dating back to the 1950s, the new additions were built for one of the sons and his family and a smaller house for his parents, who have summered in the area for generations. The designs draw inspiration from the rugged landscape and the contrast between the tough climate and the relaxed atmosphere of a summer retreat. Both houses are raised on stilts, leaving the ground and rocks underneath untouched, creating a sense of floating above the terrain. Outdoor bridges and platforms, suspended from the facade, extend the living space around the houses. The simple, timber-framed structures are covered in a maintenance-free mineral facade in a shade of gray similar to the rocks, while the rounded, barrel-vaulted roofs echo the shape of the weathered surroundings. The main house features a simple floor plan, with a large, open living room and kitchen area facing the ocean and a more private rear section containing bedrooms and the entrance. Large sliding glass doors in the main living space allow for an open connection to the outdoors, seamlessly blending interior and exterior spaces. Inside, the walls are paneled with untreated fir, creating a warm, natural aesthetic. In the evening, the low western sun catches the interior fir, making the house appear as a ""glowing eye-catcher"" from the sea.

Conceived by architect Peter Sahlin in 2005 for his own family, the design is a modern interpretation of a traditional local barn. It has since been replicated for other clients seeking a simple, compact, and comfortable escape in a mountainous setting. The project's aesthetic is defined by a modest and modern approach, with a focus on functional design suited for cold climates. The exterior of the cabin features an ebony-stained clapboard facade that helps it blend into the surrounding woods. The design is deliberately understated, with clean lines that recall the classic barn shape. This simple form makes the lodge's prefabricated construction practical for delivery and assembly in remote locations. Inside, the design contrasts the dark exterior with a warm, natural material palette. The interior is clad in unfinished plywood, complemented by gray industrial kitchen cabinets, creating a balance of ruggedness and modern polish. The lodge was initially developed for Sahlin's personal use, highlighting its practical and personal origins. The design's success led to its subsequent production for other urban professionals who desired a quiet, modern vacation home that could withstand the harsh conditions of the Swedish fells. The prefabricated units are constructed off-site and delivered to their destination, a process that simplifies construction in the challenging mountain environment.

The project merges traditional regional architecture with contemporary elements to create a distinctive, nature-focused experience for guests. Completed in 2020, Synvillan offers visitors a one-of-a-kind opportunity to get close to wildlife without disturbing the natural environment. The villa is elevated on pillars, floating four meters above a feeding area for animals in the wildlife park. Its exterior features a striking combination of materials: a thatched roof, inspired by traditional architecture in the Blekinge area, sits atop walls covered in polished, patterned steel plates. This mirrored, dimpled surface reflects the surrounding sky and forest, giving the structure the surreal appearance of almost disappearing into its environment, true to its name. The design is a study in contrasts, juxtaposing the rustic charm of a thatched roof with the high-tech, reflective cladding. Inside, the 50-square-meter accommodation provides a cozy and immersive stay for up to four guests. The two-room unit features a living area, kitchenette, and a furnished terrace. A highlight is the transparent glass floor panel in the living room, which allows visitors to observe animals like European bison, red deer, mouflon, and wild boar feeding directly beneath them. The interiors are lined with pale wood and punctuated with playful, vibrant colors on the ceiling. Despite the lack of running water, the villa is powered by solar energy and gas and includes a modern incineration toilet. Access to the elevated cabin is via a long wooden staircase.

The 20-square-meter structure is situated on the remote island of Trossö, off the west coast of Sweden, and was commissioned by a private client who spends summers there. As there are no roads on the island, all materials for the cabin were transported by boat and carried by hand. The cabin's design is minimalist and functional, created as a secluded retreat with a focus on its natural surroundings. The brief from the client was for ""a room with a view of the sea,"" and the design delivers on this with two large windows framing the distinctive, windswept landscape of the ocean on one side and pine trees on the other. A large sliding glass door effectively doubles the living area when opened, blurring the line between indoors and outdoors. The cabin was constructed with minimal impact on the environment, raised off the ground to sit lightly on the plot. Its exterior features Swedish spruce, painted with a matte black finish, a color choice that references the vernacular architecture of local fishing cabins. The interior has a more natural feel, with Swedish spruce flooring and plywood-clad walls and ceilings. The pitched roof provides a generous internal volume, and the compact space includes a sauna and a living/bedroom area for two people.

Completed in 2024, the cabin is set on a granite clearing amid a landscape of pines, rocks, and meadow grass. The design draws inspiration from the studio founders' own home, Villa Ellsinger, and was conceived as a modest structure that ""grows upwards"" to maximize its small footprint and address the harsh coastal climate of wind, rain, and salt spray. The house is oriented on a north-south axis, with a largely closed-off northern facade to shield it from neighbors and a nearby county road, while opening up with large windows to the south and east to capture sun and views of the forest and fields. The structure is a standout on its rural plot, topped with a distinctive, steep, hat-shaped roof and gables clad in untreated aluminum sheeting for durability. A cantilevered canopy extends from the structure, providing a covered entrance. To create a spacious, unobstructed internal volume, the roof loads are transferred to a horizontal glue-laminated timber frame that sits atop the exterior walls, visible from the outside. Inside, the walls are clad in warm, untreated pine, which contrasts with the red tiles on the kitchen floor. The interior features bespoke furniture and an open-plan living and kitchen area with a high ceiling. An oversized bookshelf serves multiple functions as a room divider, storage, and structural support for the loft, which contains a children's sleeping area, a sofa bed, and a workspace. A custom-built wood-burning stove is also incorporated within the bookshelf. Maritime-themed circular prisms in the front door and loft windows nod to the cabin's seaside location and spread light into the entryway.

Completed around 2014, the house was a response to a housing market that Carlsson saw as being dominated by expensive, aesthetically stagnant prefab villas. The 110-square-meter home features a geometric, asymmetrical volume with a roof of varying pitches, clad in corrugated galvanized iron to reduce costs. This angular form is mirrored inside with a series of angled plywood surfaces and spaces. The design is based on a modular frame system of self-supporting laminated plywood sandwich panels, which allows for fast and affordable factory construction. Inside, the house showcases the raw plywood material extensively, creating a warm and minimalist feel. An angular staircase connects the ground floor, which includes the living, dining, and kitchen areas, with the upper floor, which contains three bedrooms.

Completed in 2022, the award-winning residence is situated in a bucolic context, replacing a mid-century bungalow that had a less harmonious relationship with the landscape. The design is a sensitive and modern response to its setting, nestled among ash trees and fields, with its dark timber exterior allowing it to recede softly into the scenery. The house was conceived with a strong focus on sustainability, with the goal of creating a home that respects its surroundings and has minimal energy consumption. HAPA Architects employed a range of passive and active strategies to achieve this. Key features include an A-rated Energy Performance Certificate (EPC), high levels of insulation and air tightness, and a passive solar design. The house also generates its own power via photovoltaic (PV) panels on the roof and uses a high-efficiency air source heat pump for low-temperature underfloor heating. A mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (MVHR) system ensures a constant supply of fresh air, contributing to a stable and calm internal atmosphere regardless of external weather conditions. The architectural design features two distinct stacked forms, which create interesting overhangs and roof spaces. The lower level is built on a concrete plinth, while the upper, private bedroom spaces are housed within a simple gabled form that reaches up into the canopies of the trees. The transition from horizontal timber cladding on the lower level to vertical timber on the upper level accentuates this distinction. A covered entrance and a raised, open veranda connect the house to the rear garden and fields. Inside, the vaulted ceilings of the bedrooms create impressive double-height spaces, and a wrap-over window adds dramatic natural light. The interior continues the minimalist and elegant aesthetic with natural materials. The kitchen features bespoke cabinetry crafted from cross-sawn, smoked, and white-oiled engineered oak planks, a material that also serves as the timber flooring. This provides a rustic yet refined texture that complements the home's contemporary feel. A natural patinaed zinc worktop works beautifully with the other natural finishes.

The lodge was commissioned by a client whose parents had spent decades cultivating the woodland, and the project's goal was to share the landscape with guests while preserving the area's sensitive ecology. The modest, 49-square-meter structure is deliberately unobtrusive, appearing to float among the trees on its sloped site. A key feature of the design is the use of floor-to-ceiling electrochromic glass facades on the front and rear of the lodge. This intelligent glazing automatically adjusts its transparency to provide privacy and control solar heat gain, while also preventing light pollution at night, which helps protect the local bat population. The large, seamless windows maximize views of the woodland and create a ""looking glass"" effect, making the interior feel intimately connected to its surroundings. The lodge was constructed by local craftsmen from nearby Hastings, with much of the fabrication done off-site to minimize on-site disruption. Its low-impact design includes a hybrid steel and timber-framed structure supported by steel screw piles. This foundation system avoids damaging the tree roots, ensures no trees were felled, and allows for unobstructed movement of wildlife across the site. The exterior is clad in untreated Western red cedar, which will weather to a silvery-grey color over time, blending naturally with the environment. Inside, the Scandinavian-inspired interior features a warm material palette of Western red cedar lining and birch plywood cabinetry. An open-plan layout contains a living area with a wood-burning stove fueled by timber from fallen local trees, a custom kitchen, and a private bedroom. The bathroom includes a freestanding bathtub with expansive views of the forest, further cementing the lodge's biophilic design principles.

The 47-square-meter hut is a contemporary reinterpretation of traditional Scottish farming crofts, shepherd's shelters, and Swiss Alpine shacks. It was commissioned by art dealers Iwan and Manuela Wirth, who sought a private, remote space on their estate for entertaining guests. The design is a clever blend of regional vernacular architecture and 20th-century modernism. Its monolithic, wooden form draws inspiration from the simple aesthetic of local livestock buildings, while its irregular, strategically placed windows are reminiscent of Le Corbusier's iconic Chapelle Notre Dame du Haut at Ronchamp. These irregularly cut apertures precisely frame specific features of the surrounding landscape, including the granite tors of Ben Avon and a bend in the River Gairn. Constructed almost entirely from timber, the shieling (Gaelic for ""hut"") was designed to minimize its impact on the terrain. The structure features a simple cruck frame with deep, overhanging eaves. The roof is camouflaged with a layer of heather, moss, and stone gathered from the local hillsides, helping it blend into the moorland and providing additional insulation. The cozy interior is lined with spruce and features a long, communal dining table, a prominent wood-burning stove for heating, and subtle modern details like a suspended iron shelf for candles. The project was completed in 2016 and received several awards, including the Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland Forestry Commission for Scotland Award in 2017.

Completed in 2021, the cabin was conceived as a self-contained getaway to invite its inhabitants into a close relationship with the outdoors while providing a high level of comfort and craftsmanship. Revenue generated from renting the cabin also supports the rewilding of the surrounding farmland to bring back biodiversity and wildlife. The exterior features a rugged, natural aesthetic with a mono-pitched roof made from corrugated metal that protects the structure with generous eaves. It is clad in cedar from a Dartmoor mill and constructed with an exposed Douglas fir frame. To minimize its environmental impact, the cabin is raised off the ground on pier foundations, reducing the need for concrete. Inside, the cabin features an open-plan layout defined by natural materials and meticulous craftsmanship. The interior walls are covered in a breathable clay render, which helps regulate temperature and humidity while providing a pleasing, organic texture. An oak kitchen lines one wall, and a cozy sleeping area is tucked into the gable end. Large, sliding glass doors link the interior with a sweeping larch veranda, expanding the living space to the outdoors. A copper bathtub on the deck offers a luxurious way to connect with the landscape.

The 70-square-meter house is situated on a steeply sloping site on the island's northwestern tip, with panoramic views over the Minch strait to the Outer Hebrides. The project was conceived as a year-round rental property, and it has garnered architectural awards and recognition, including being named the best holiday house for couples in the UK by The Sunday Times. The design is a contemporary take on the utilitarian agricultural sheds commonly found in the Scottish Highlands. The gabled house is clad entirely in corrugated, mill-finished aluminum sheeting, which provides durable protection against the region's frequent, fierce storms. The architects chose materials and a design that enabled much of the construction to be completed by a single person, celebrating the tradition of rural self-build projects. Recycled materials were incorporated where possible, including using leftover timber for built-in beds and seats, and offcuts for bedside tables. Inside, the interior contrasts with the rugged exterior by creating a character that is both modern and rustic. Simple materials like concrete floors, plywood joinery, and timber wall paneling create a tranquil backdrop. Vibrant pops of color, inspired by the surrounding landscape—such as fuchsia wildflowers, grass green, and sunset orange—are featured in the furnishings. Despite minimal window openings on the external facade, a strategic horizontal window on the north elevation provides a ""hide"" to observe the sea and landscape in all weather conditions.

Designed by RX Architects, the cabin is approached on foot via a woodland trail, as it is not accessible by vehicles. The project reflects a ""sense of place,"" using natural materials to create a strong visual connection between the structure and its rural environment. The 35-square-meter cabin is designed with an exposed timber frame and features two full glazed elevations that angle out toward the water. These sliding glass walls open up to a cantilevered deck that hovers over the water, providing seamless access for activities like swimming and kayaking. The building is clad in a mix of rough-sawn and planed English oak planks, which are left unfinished to weather naturally over time and integrate further with the landscape. A concrete base acts as a datum line, stepping up to form a bench and log store. The roof and its trims are clad in a contrasting patinated bronze finish. Inside, the cabin features a restrained, open-plan layout with a garden room, kitchen, and a wet room on the main level. Wide-format Douglas Fir boards line the interior walls, adding to the cabin's natural, rustic feel. A mezzanine level provides a sleeping area. The entire design is oriented toward maximizing views of the lake and surrounding countryside.

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