ACCOMMODATION | Cabin | Biv Punakaiki is a 46-square-meter cabin designed by Fabric and completed in 2022, nestled within a rainforest in the coastal village of Punakaiki on New Zealand's South Island. Inspired by the historic gold miners' huts that once dotted the coastline, the cabin reinterprets this traditional aesthetic for high-end, short-term accommodation. Its form is characterized by a distinctive, off-center roofline that tapers upwards, echoing the shape of an old chimney stack. This design element creates a dramatic double-height ceiling in the living area, illuminated by a large skylight at the top, which funnels light down and connects guests to the sky above. The cabin was constructed using prefabricated, cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels, a choice driven by the material's low embodied carbon, which helps to offset the carbon footprint of the concrete floor and aluminum cladding. The exterior is wrapped in corrosion-resistant aluminum, a necessary feature for protection against the airborne salt of the coastal environment. Inside, the warm timber of the CLT is exposed, complemented by a polished concrete floor that provides thermal mass to help regulate the internal temperature. The architects incorporated passive heating strategies and high insulation to maintain a comfortable environment year-round, minimizing running costs and ensuring guests are always greeted by a cozy space. Intended to have a minimal impact on the land, Biv Punakaiki is elevated on a few concrete piles, allowing the structure to "touch the earth lightly". The design prioritizes a seamless connection with nature, featuring large windows and glazing that frame views of the surrounding native bush and nearby cliffs. The open-plan layout and minimal facilities encourage a focus on simple living, while luxurious details create a uniquely comfortable and relaxing experience. Biv Punakaiki was the first of a planned series of accommodation pods, each designed to provide travelers with an intimate and engaging experience of the New Zealand landscape.

RESIDENTIAL | Prefabricated | The 24-square-meter Casa Pukará is a small, prefabricated residential project built in 2024 by El Sindicato Arquitectura in the rural area of Cayambe, Ecuador. Located on the foothills of the Cayambe volcano, the design for this small dwelling was conceived as a way for the owner to participate directly in its construction, honoring a deep-seated desire to build with his own hands and strengthen his familial connection to the land. This approach was a direct response to the remote site's lack of electricity and logistical challenges that would have made transporting a fully assembled structure impossible. The house was entirely prefabricated as a series of ready-to-assemble panels, allowing the owner and his father to put it together using only basic cordless power tools like drills and screwdrivers, with an accompanying assembly manual. The design strategy carefully considers the local environment, with a low, blind façade oriented against the dominant winds and the main road, which contains the house's service areas. In contrast, the lateral façades open up generously to the landscape, with one framing a view of the valley and the other facing a reservoir and the volcano. The fourth facade, which faces the interior of the property, is opened only at the top to provide natural light without compromising privacy and houses built-in features like the kitchen, a library, and a storage cellar.

MULTI-FUNCTIONAL | Shelter | The Hofer Pavilion is an experimental, 28-square-meter studio designed and self-built by Stal Collectief, a Belgian furniture design company. Completed in 2016, the pavilion is situated near the collective's existing workshop in Heppeneert, a hamlet in northeast Belgium, and was created as a retreat for brainstorming sessions and design discussions. Mimicking the traditional, archetypical shape of a rural gabled home, it blends into its surroundings. A key feature of the pavilion is its adaptability to different weather conditions and uses. The structure is elevated on ten pillars and features a unique rail system that allows three of its four walls and the roof to be moved. This design makes it possible to open the studio to the elements during warmer seasons, transforming the interior into an open-air living space, and enclose it during winter for a more intimate setting. The exterior is clad in charred timber using the traditional Japanese shou sugi ban technique, giving it a dark, rustic appearance that references the local vernacular. The fixed gable wall and floor, in contrast, are finished with sheet metal. The interior is minimally furnished with a long table, stools, lighting, and a wood-burning stove built into the fixed wall.

RESIDENTIAL | Mobile | The NATURE POD is an eco-friendly and mobile wooden cabin designed by the Swedish company Vagabond Haven. Constructed from ThermoWood pine, which is known for its robustness and durability, the cabin can function as a mobile home, a garden office, or a wilderness retreat. Its compact size, measuring 6 meters long, 2.3 meters wide, and 2.5 meters high, means it can be moved easily on a flatbed truck or a custom trailer. The design is unique for its frameless construction, where four inner wall segments support the outer ThermoWood walls. This method reduces the amount of material, assembly time, weight, and cost. For the roof, durable and easy-to-install asphalt shingles are used. Large panorama windows in the bedroom and smaller operable windows in the kitchen and bathroom blur the line between indoor and outdoor living and create a feeling of openness in the 14-square-meter space. The NATURE POD can be customized with various features, including a kitchen and bathroom for full self-sufficiency. Off-grid living is possible with the addition of solar panels for electricity, a dry toilet, and water tanks. For heating in colder climates, options include radiators, floor heating, or a wood stove. The interior has a minimalist, natural aesthetic, with the option to customize exterior and interior colors and finishes.

INFRASTRUCTURE | Airport | Queen Alia International Airport continues the practice’s explorations of the airport terminal as a building type and sets out a vision for an environmentally sensitive, regionally apt, airport architecture. Designed to serve as the main gateway to Amman – one of the oldest continually inhabited cities in the world – its design resonates with a sense of place and local culture. Strategically the building secures Amman’s position as the main hub for the Levant Region. Logistically, it allows the airport to grow by 6 per cent per annum for the next twenty-five years, increasing capacity from 3 million to 16 million passengers per annum by 2030. In response to local building expertise and Amman’s climate, where summer temperatures vary markedly between daytime and night time the building is constructed entirely from concrete, the high thermal mass of the material providing passive environmental control. The tessellated roof canopy comprises a series of shallow concrete domes, which extend to shade the facades. To enable seamless future expansion, each dome is a modular unit. The domes branch out from the supporting columns like the leaves of a desert palm and daylight floods the concourse through split beams at the column junctions. Echoing the veins of a leaf, a geometric pattern based on traditional Islamic forms is applied to each exposed soffit. The terminal is glazed on all sides to open up long views to the aircraft on the apron and aid orientation. Two piers of departure gates run along either side of the central building, which contains the main processing areas and shops, lounges and restaurants. Between these volumes, open-air courtyards draw on vernacular Arabic architecture and contribute to the terminal’s environmental strategy: the plants and trees help to filter pollution and pre-condition the air before it is drawn into the air handling system. In celebration of the tradition for family groups to congregate at the airport, the forecourt has been enlarged to create a landscaped plaza with seating, shaded by trees, where people can gather to bid farewell or welcome returning travellers. | https://static.wixstatic.com/media/9756fd_5761d52f426e469689a03ac4a9fb8714~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_2000,h_1124,al_c,q_90/Queen%20Alia%20International%20Airport%20(3).jfif Out of gallery 1/0 Out of gallery Private Public Pin Pin 0 x Appreciators 0 3D models Product 3.5K Views 0 Appreciated Appreciate Please login to appreciate Queen Alia International Airport Queen Alia International Airport, Amman, Jordan fosterandpartners.com Source: Published on Oct 1, 2023 by: Civil Engineer Rosa Garcia Premium Member More Buildings from Jordan Facts: Up Up Architecture Office Foster + Partners United Kingdom Category: INFRASTRUCTURE Airport Project Type: Post Type: Building Country: Jordan Photographers: Architects: Foster + Partners Area: 116,000 m2 Year: 2012 City: Amman Construction: Client Airport International Group Description: the architects Text description by Queen Alia International Airport continues the practice’s explorations of the airport terminal as a building type and sets out a vision for an environmentally sensitive, regionally apt, airport architecture.

Logistically, it allows the airport to grow by 6 per cent per annum for the next twenty-five years, increasing capacity from 3 million to 16 million passengers per annum by 2030. In response to local building expertise and Amman’s climate, where summer temperatures vary markedly between daytime and night time the building is constructed entirely from concrete, the high thermal mass of the material providing passive environmental control. The tessellated roof canopy comprises a series of shallow concrete domes, which extend to shade the facades. To enable seamless future expansion, each dome is a modular unit. The domes branch out from the supporting columns like the leaves of a desert palm and daylight floods the concourse through split beams at the column junctions. Echoing the veins of a leaf, a geometric pattern based on traditional Islamic forms is applied to each exposed soffit. The terminal is glazed on all sides to open up long views to the aircraft on the apron and aid orientation. Two piers of departure gates run along either side of the central building, which contains the main processing areas and shops, lounges and restaurants. Between these volumes, open-air courtyards draw on vernacular Arabic architecture and contribute to the terminal’s environmental strategy: the plants and trees help to filter pollution and pre-condition the air before it is drawn into the air handling system. In celebration of the tradition for family groups to congregate at the airport, the forecourt has been enlarged to create a landscaped plaza with seating, shaded by trees, where people can gather to bid farewell or welcome returning travellers.

MASTER PLAN | Housing development | Studio Libeskind’s first project in Albania, the Magnet housing development, consists of a master plan for a new residential neighborhood within walking distance of Tirana’s city center, along with the design for Eagle in Flight, the first 13,000 square meter tower within the master plan to serve as a catalyst for revitalizing the entire district. The masterplan was tailored around a complex site that lacked any public streets. Studio Libeskind opted to keep the site car-free and created a system of interconnected green courtyards linked by pedestrian and cycle paths. The buildings around each courtyard are varied in scale, orientation and typology to prevent monotony and maximize light and air. Buildings around the central piazza are to feature retail to help build a vibrant neighborhood. | https://static.wixstatic.com/media/9756fd_f1e2f3f7cad54204bc7cbceb462ab492~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1000,h_667,al_c,q_85/MAGNET%20HOUSING%20MASTER%20PLAN5.jpg 1/0 Private Public Pin Pin 0 x Appreciators 0 3D models Product 2.9K Views 0 Appreciated Appreciate Please login to appreciate Magnet housing master plan Tirana, Albania www.libeskind.com Source: Published on Sep 27, 2023 by: Photographer Anna Salonen Premium Member More Buildings from Albania Facts: Up Up Architecture Office Daniel Libeskind Studio United States Category: MASTER PLAN Housing development Project Type: Post Type: Building Country: Albania Photographers: Architects: Daniel Libeskind Studio Area: 13,000 Year: 2014 City: Tirana Construction: - Client Description: the architects Text description by Studio Libeskind’s first project in Albania, the Magnet housing development, consists of a master plan for a new residential neighborhood within walking distance of Tirana’s city center, along with the design for Eagle in Flight , the first 13,000 square meter tower within the master plan to serve as a catalyst for revitalizing the entire district.

Our Studio is a collaboration of architects and designers that believe architecture is a practice of optimism. We approach our projects with the attitude that to make great places, you must believe in the future, but also remember the past. Studio Libeskind’s architecture emerges from the idea that a building should be expressive and reflect contemporary life. Innovation is at the core of our design process. We believe that bold design must be realized with sustainable technology and we strongly believe that the art of architecture lies in creating a maximum impact within the constraints of budgets and functionality. We know from experience that great architecture comes from working with great clients; however, architecture is a public art and we hold ourselves accountable not only to the client, but to the communities, and cities in which we build. Daniel and his partner Nina Libeskind established Studio Daniel Libeskind in Berlin, Germany, in 1989 after winning the competition to build the Jewish Museum Berlin. In February 2003, Studio Daniel Libeskind moved its headquarters from Berlin to New York City when Daniel Libeskind was selected as the master planner for the World Trade Center redevelopment. source: libeskind.com Category Housing development Post Type Building Project Type MASTER PLAN Country Albania Year 2014 Area 13,000 Client Photographers www.zhiig.com Premium Member Photographer Anna Salonen Collaborate 3D Design Suggest Materials Suggest Product Add Request Design © ZHIG Team Materials Suggested by Manufacturers: Model Full Name Details Details View more

SPORTS & RECREATION | Arena | The design of the new SCA Arena Sports and Concert Complex follows the tradition of Russian constructivism. Russian artists such as Tatlin and El Lissitzky inspired architects worldwide and redefined the level of artistic aspiration in architecture. The design of the new SCA Arena in St. Petersburg follows the tradition of the unique era of constructivism, where everything was possible, and applies its expressive, open design language to a contemporary context: the filigree framework of its construction, based on Tatlin’s ​“Monument to the Third International”, refers to the flowing, dynamic movement of a person skating around the stadium. Without changing the planning of the existing Arena, a second, structural layer is created, which serves as a supporting structure for the overlying, dynamically cantilevered roof. This filigree construction is only interrupted by arches at those points where the stairs to the ring-shaped plinth are placed. This creates a covered arcade that is protected from sun, rain and wind, and can also be used to shelter shops and lounge zones. The roof of the building is shaped like a flattened dome, and is equipped with LED lights that will be visible from afar. This transforms the building into a vibrant heart, at the center of the newly created park complex for the people of St. Petersburg, usable around the clock. The structural design of the new SCA Arena consists of 4 main parts: pre-existing stadium design, plinth base, structural ring and roof structure. Stadium Building The existing stadium consists mainly of elements built in reinforced concrete. Columns and walls transfer the main vertical loads to the ground. Concrete cores and wall elements brace the building horizontally, transferring the main horizontal loads towards the ground. The structure of the plinth base is a reinforced concrete column, wall, and beam construction, supporting a lightweight concrete slab. Foundation The foundation of the building is designed as a raft foundation with a minimum thickness of 1m, with local thickening in areas below the columns. In areas of large concentration of loads (such as the structural ring segments), the thickness of the raft foundation increases. Bored piles transfer the loads from the foundation plate to the load-bearing ground. Structural Ring A structural ring serves as additional support for the roof structure. Its geometry is differentiated into four segments that work within the global structural system, and four segments that support only themselves and allow for large entrance openings. The steel structures of the ring also provide horizontal bracing in its surface direction. Furthermore, they rest on the plinth base, which is mainly designed as a reinforced concrete structure. Roof Structure The structure of the roof is developed hand-in-hand with the preexisting stadium design. The beam layout respects and adapts to the preexisting structural axis around the stadium bowl. Truss directions are aligned with the main cantilevering directions, which creates a more efficient force flow towards the most cantilevering parts of the roof. The spatial truss structure is further subdivided into mega-trusses and secondary beams, which allow for a shortened span distance of the roof-skin construction. The top and bottom girders are designed as simply shaped cross-sections, allowing pure standard details for all joints. | https://static.wixstatic.com/media/9756fd_86a7a9e7371f40d49f10466d5e1ba05b~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1800,h_1013,al_c,q_85/SCA%20Arena%20(1).jpg 1/0 Private Public Pin Pin 0 x Appreciators 0 3D models Product 2.4K Views 0 Appreciated Appreciate Please login to appreciate SCA Arena St Petersburg, Russia coop-himmelblau.at Source: Published on Oct 3, 2023 by: Designer Victoria Lawrence ZHIG creator More Buildings from Russia Facts: Up Up Architecture Office Coop Himmelb(l)au Austria Category: SPORTS & RECREATION Arena Project Type: Post Type: Building Country: Russia Photographers: Architects: Coop Himmelb(l)au Area: 14 700 m² Year: 2020 City: St. Petersburg Construction: Client LLC GORKA Description: the architects Text description by The design of the new SCA Arena Sports and Concert Complex follows the tradition of Russian constructivism.

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

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

CULTURAL | Studio | The Dovecote Studio is a striking piece of adaptive reuse architecture designed by Haworth Tompkins for the internationally renowned Snape Maltings music campus in Suffolk, England. Completed in 2009, the 30-square-meter studio is built within the dramatic, derelict brick ruins of a 19th-century dovecote, which sits prominently on the edge of the marshes overlooking the North Sea. The design approach was to preserve the poetic decay of the existing ruin while inserting a contrasting modern structure within it. Haworth Tompkins achieved this by creating a self-supporting, watertight, monocoque structure from Corten steel. This prefabricated "shell," welded together on-site like the hull of a ship, was craned into place in a single day. The weathering Corten steel gives the new intervention a reddish, rustic patina that complements the aged red bricks of the original dovecote. Minimal repairs were made to the Victorian brickwork, and existing vegetation was protected, allowing the ruin to continue its natural process of decay. The interior is lined with pale spruce plywood, creating a warm, timber "box" within the steel shell. This simple volume is designed to focus attention on the surrounding landscape and can serve as a space for artists, rehearsals, performances, meetings, or exhibitions. Natural light is provided by a large north-facing skylight. A mezzanine features a writing desk and a fully glazed corner window offering views of the marshes and sea. Laminated plywood was also used for the staircase, balustrade, and mezzanine.

HOSPITALITY | Cabin | Elsewhere Cabin A is a 160-square-foot, off-grid prototype designed in 2018 by Seattle-based architect Sean O’Neill for Elsewhere, a vacation rental company near Georgetown, Texas. The tiny cabin was built on a trailer base to allow for off-grid functionality and occasional relocation. Its design was inspired by the traditional Texas porch, aiming to create a serene space for guests to disconnect from city life. This is achieved with a ten-foot folding glass wall that opens the entire living space, creating a large, open-air porch. The exterior is clad in charred cedar siding, a technique known as shou sugi ban, giving it a minimalist black finish that helps it blend into the natural surroundings. The interior features Chilean pine plywood for the walls, ceiling, and flooring, complemented by custom-made, space-efficient, and multi-functional furniture. A single surface can transition from a desk to a sofa to a kitchen counter. The sleeping loft is nestled beneath the pitched roof, while a small kitchen and a bathroom with a waterless toilet are also incorporated. For off-grid utilities, the cabin relies on solar panels for electricity and an onboard water tank for the shower and sink. Much of the exterior work and some furnishings were built by the client.

RESIDENTIAL | Studio | The Banyan Treehouse is a 172-square-foot accessory building located on a Brentwood hills estate in Los Angeles, designed by Rockefeller Partners Architects. The modern-day retreat was conceived as a surprise gift from a husband to his wife, an art museum patron, art collector, and philanthropist, to serve as a creative studio and lounge space. Perched 12 feet off the ground, the treehouse is situated in a back corner of the property and offers exceptional views of the Getty Center and downtown Los Angeles. The design is a clever interpretation of a childhood treehouse, reflecting the client's affinity for such a retreat while providing an adult environment. The project incorporates a live but fallen pine tree, with the structure hovering above it to suggest a delicate balance between the architecture and nature. A key feature is a glass viewport in the walnut floor, which symbolically connects the structure to the tree below, reminiscent of a classic treehouse hatch. Access is provided by a concrete stair that leads up to an open metal and wood plank stair, a modern interpretation of a treehouse ladder. The unique, angular plan was influenced by the tight site and setback requirements. The interior of the micro-house is equipped with modern amenities, including a toilet, running water, a daybed, and a small refrigerator. The space is wrapped in rich materials, such as walnut paneling and floors, mahogany windows, and ipe-wood ceilings and decks. Floor-to-ceiling mahogany windows and a glass clerestory provide abundant natural light and ventilation while framing views of the canyon and city. The exterior is clad in deep-oiled cedar siding for durability and beauty. A butterfly-shaped metal roof with a Kynar finish seemingly floats above the structure, supported by five angled steel columns. An outdoor shower, sculpted from concrete, is located below the treehouse.

COMMERCIAL | Mixed-use building | In the historic industrial area by the river Akerselva in Oslo, Norway, Snøhetta has designed a building that explores the possibilities of the future in ventilation. Named Vertikal Nydalen, the building is a pilot in a research project on more sustainable ventilation and energy solutions and is the very first mixed-use building in Norway with naturally ventilated offices. It results from an interdisciplinary collaboration between engineers and architects and uses innovative architectural and technical solutions. Compared to traditional mechanical ventilation, naturally ventilated offices have less need for remodeling and maintenance and can potentially give a better experience for the users. The 18-floor building hosts restaurants at street level, offices on the following five floors, and apartments on top. Each of the building's 40 apartments is unique, the sizes range from 44 sqm to 143 sqm with a variety of layouts. At the top of the two buildings, Snøhetta has designed roof terraces with a panoramic view of the city and a selection of plants that stimulates micro-habitats for endangered species. | https://static.wixstatic.com/media/9756fd_f0e83646b3fc4d77a5c245502c80f6cc~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1440,h_1498,al_c,q_90/Vertikal%20Nydalen%20(1).jpg Please Wait Vertikal Nydalen (2).jpg Vertikal Nydalen (3).jpg Vertikal Nydalen (4).jpg 1/2 0 Product 3.7K Views 0 0 Pin Pin Private Public x Appreciators Appreciated Appreciate Please Log in Vertikal Nydalen Nydalen Allé 13C, 0484 Oslo, Norway Architects: Snøhetta Snøhetta Architecture Office Norway Area: Year: City: Client: 11000 m2 2023 Oslo Avantor Construction: - Category: COMMERCIAL Project Type: Mixed-use building Post Type: Building Country: Norway Photographers: the architects Description: In the historic industrial area by the river Akerselva in Oslo, Norway, Snøhetta has designed a building that explores the possibilities of the future in ventilation.

We are By the Many, For the Many. COX seeks to do more with less, tapping into resourceful Australian culture to build value through ingenuity. We strive for quality through our beliefs in equality and opportunity. We embed culture in our designs, taking time to listen and understand cultural context and social impacts. We continuously seek the brightest minds to innovate design, process, and typology. We welcome collaboration, from both traditional and disruptive sources, should it have the potential to contribute to better design. Our history in Australian architecture began with the transformative Tocal Agricultural College in New South Wales. Epitomising the renowned Sydney School, the project had a deep and sensitive understanding of context and place, blended with honest and expressive structure and craft. This has informed the work of COX ever since. This history has established key principles we continue to prioritise today. One being the planning of cities and design of buildings that are adaptable to change – cultural, social, technological, and economic. The other is the creation of sustainable spaces – environmental strategies that are embedded, rather than added, to our designs. Today, we have offices across Australia and New Zealand, working on projects of international significance. Our team brings experience and enthusiasm to every new project and client. Our projects demonstrate a dedication to research as well as an ability to work with clients to deliver successful design solutions on time and budget. What we bring to our work transcends design. Our innovative technology and structural design solutions place emphasis and value on the design of core elements. Our structures designed as destinations to bring people together to share experiences that are unique to their time and place. source: coxarchitecture.com.au Category Embassy Post Type Building Project Type GOVERNMENTAL Country Myanmar Year Area 3200 m² Client Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade Photographers www.zhiig.com Premium Member Photographer Anna Salonen Collaborate 3D Design Suggest Materials Suggest Product Add Request Design © ZHIG Team Materials Suggested by Manufacturers: Model Full Name Details Details View more

RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | The Cabin on a Rock, designed by Boston-based I-Kanda Architects, is a 900-square-foot weekend residence perched on a dramatic granite outcropping in New Hampshire's White Mountains. The project was completed in 2017 for the founder of Q-Drinks and his family. What began as a plan for a rustic getaway for two evolved during the design process to accommodate a family of four, necessitating an expanded footprint while still working with the limited area of accessible rock. The design embraces the site's challenging topography rather than trying to flatten it. The angular, faceted form of the cabin is lifted off the ground by nine hand-poured concrete footings, a system chosen to minimize the structure's impact on the sloped site and surrounding tree roots. The house is a compelling marriage of modern design and prefabrication technology, which enabled the construction on the remote and rugged site to be completed more efficiently. The prefabricated timber frame components were engineered and CNC-cut off-site by Bensonwood and delivered ready for assembly, which reduced construction time and site disturbance. The cabin's exterior combines matte black metal siding and contrasting timber, with the geometric form creating a structure that appears to transform depending on the viewer's vantage point. A cantilevered timber porch extends dramatically over the rock's ledge, framing stunning views across the valley below. Large sections of full-height glazing, including a 24-foot-wide sliding glass window wall, maximize natural light and offer expansive views of the surrounding forest and mountains. The interior features a minimal aesthetic, designed to feel like one large, connected space. In 2018, the Cabin on a Rock received a Golden A' Design Award in the Architecture, Building and Structure Design category.

CULTURAL | Cultural center | The Nazarbayev Centre is the archive and library of the President of Kazakhstan located just off the central axis between the Presidential Palace and the Palace of Peace and Reconciliation. Its distinctive bowl-like form rises from the middle of a large formal landscaped garden, and is topped by a glass oculus spanning 90-metres, with views towards the Presidential Palace and gardens. The 20,000 square-metre building also holds the offices of the President’s Foundation, along with public event spaces, exhibition galleries and an auditorium. The building is orientated towards the north, directly facing the Presidential Palace, and its white marble façade is seemingly cut away to reveal a glass lens. Each piece of marble on the façade is only 15millimetres thick, to reduce the weight of the stone, which has then been laminated onto an aluminium honeycomb mesh to give it stability. The glazed roof is a shallow dome, supported by a steel frame and a steel ring beam that gives the structure its strength. Internally, the floors step back to reveal a large atrium at ground level. The study desks on the library floors face out onto the atrium, creating a dynamic, interactive space for research, similar to the practice’s earlier work on the Berlin Free University. The building’s orientation and form is a response to the sun’s path to limit the direct sunlight onto the glazed roof. The concrete walls are heavily insulated responding to extreme climatic conditions, with high-performance glass covering the roof. The roof structure was rigorously tested for snow loads, and has internal air cavities to prevent condensation and downdrafts in the atrium – this creates a comfortable microclimate within the building throughout the year and affords access to ample natural daylight. | https://static.wixstatic.com/media/9756fd_7c5e6c45fe154124a6e200d2798c155f~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1000,h_498,al_c,q_85/Nazarbayev%20Centre%20(1).jfif 1/0 Private Public Pin Pin 0 x Appreciators 0 3D models Product 1.9K Views 0 Appreciated Appreciate Please login to appreciate Nazarbayev Centre Еңбекшілер көшесі 10, Astana 010000, Kazakhstan fosterandpartners.com Source: Published on Oct 1, 2023 by: Photographer Anna Salonen Premium Member More Buildings from Kazakhstan Facts: Up Up Architecture Office Foster + Partners United Kingdom Category: CULTURAL Cultural center Project Type: Post Type: Building Country: Kazakhstan Photographers: Architects: Foster + Partners Area: 24,000 m2 Year: 2014 City: Astana Construction: Client Sembol Construction Description: the architects Text description by The Nazarbayev Centre is the archive and library of the President of Kazakhstan located just off the central axis between the Presidential Palace and the Palace of Peace and Reconciliation.

RESIDENTIAL | Tiny House | In 2022, Cazú Zegers Arquitectura introduced a sustainable, modular housing project in the commune of Lo Barnechea, Santiago, Chile, known as "Tiny House". This initiative, part of a larger plan for a small neighborhood called Pueblo La Dehesa, challenges traditional urban design by creating a system of prefabricated wooden homes that prioritize community, warmth, and a strong connection to nature. The project was inspired by "botanical shyness," a natural phenomenon where some tree canopies avoid touching, allowing each species to receive sunlight. This concept was applied to the master plan of Pueblo La Dehesa, organizing the houses and communal spaces in an organic, village-like cluster that fosters interaction and preserves open green areas. The design intentionally moves away from traditional, dense urbanization to promote a pedestrian-friendly environment immersed in a park-like setting. The project features three main types of prefabricated homes, each designed to maximize space and natural light: Type A: A 24.5 m² unit with one bedroom and one bathroom. Type B: A 49 m² or 69.02 m² unit with two bedrooms and one bathroom. Type C: A 63 m² unit with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. A focus on warm, natural, and sustainable materials defines the aesthetics of the Tiny House modules. The homes are primarily constructed from clear pine wood, giving them a cozy and natural feel. Architectural solutions were integrated to enhance the sense of spaciousness, such as invisible, frameless doors, large windows, and open layouts. A standout feature is the sculptural steel staircase, which is inspired by Japanese origami and contributes to the home's refined aesthetic. Built-in furniture, such as kitchen and bathroom components, was provided by manufacturers like Bontempo and MK. Project credits Architect: Cazú Zegers.
