RESIDENTIAL | Tiny House | The Tigín Tiny Home is an initiative launched in 2022 by Common Knowledge, an Irish non-profit social enterprise, to address Ireland's housing crisis. Designed as an oversized, transportable caravan, the Tigín—the Gaelic word for 'small cottage'—is an affordable, sustainable, and consciously designed housing alternative. Beyond simply selling the tiny homes, Common Knowledge's project empowers people by sharing the necessary construction skills through their educational programs. The Tigín Tiny Home is a compact yet airy micro-dwelling of 20 square meters with a smart, two-level layout. High ceilings and large, double-glazed windows create a sense of space and connectivity with nature. Kitchenette: Includes an oven, gas hobs, and a sink, with Iroko hardwood worktops. Seating/Sleeping Area: A window seat converts into a double bed for guests. Bathroom: A shower and a composting toilet enhance the home's self-sufficiency. Storage: Cleverly integrated shelves and cabinets provide ample storage. A ladder provides access to a cozy loft space large enough for a king-sized bed. Sustainable and locally-sourced materials The Tigín's construction focuses on minimizing its carbon footprint through the use of natural and locally-sourced materials. Corrugated hemp panels from Margent Farm provide a lightweight, biodegradable, and sustainable alternative to traditional cladding. The walls are insulated with breathable cork, which naturally regulates temperature and humidity. The floor is finished with natural rubber linoleum tiles. A timber frame provides the structural support. The tiny home is constructed on a custom-built, triple-axle trailer, making it mobile and highly adaptable. Its design prioritizes energy efficiency, with some reports suggesting it uses up to 30 percent less energy than a standard UK home, thanks to strategic glazing and thermal performance. Involved people and organizations Developer and Designer: Common Knowledge (Ireland). Co-Founders: Harrison Gardner, Fionn Kidney, Erin McClure, and Spider Hickman. Lead Designer: Shantanu Starick. Materials Partner (Hemp Cladding): Margent Farm (Cambridgeshire, UK), which pioneered the use of hemp in sustainable construction. Collaborators and Build Team: Nico Bigatti, Jordan Allen, Cillian O'Gaora, Ian Tobin, and Enda Grogan, along with numerous students from the Build School program.

RESIDENTIAL | House | Completed in 2022 in Oaxaca, Mexico, the Plúmula Workshop House is a 70-square-meter project by Espacio 18 Arquitectura that breathes new life into a dilapidated residence to create a functional and poetic live-work space for an artist. The project's name, Plúmula, which refers to the embryonic shoot of a plant, reflects the design's focus on new growth and revitalization. A central aspect of the design is the preservation of pre-existing adobe walls, honoring the building's history, while a lightweight steel framework is integrated to reinforce the structure and expand the space. The house was commissioned by Amy García Kennedy, a plastic artist who works abroad and wanted a retreat in her home country. At the heart of the design is a magnificent Flamboyán tree, which the architects made the focal point of the property, with key views from the workshop, meeting space, and bedroom all centered on its contemplation. The layout was designed for practicality and warmth, utilizing a sensitive monochrome palette that visually enlarges the interiors. This is achieved through the use of budget-friendly, locally sourced materials such as steel, adobe, pine wood, and red brick. These materials also create a dialogue between the old and new, and their familiarity to local craftsmen facilitated the construction process. The project employs several sustainable strategies. The existing adobe walls offer natural thermal mass, keeping the home cool during the hot Oaxacan summers and warm in the winters. The house also incorporates a solar water heater and a rainwater harvesting system with filters, while LED lighting was chosen for energy efficiency. Tall sliding windows blur the boundaries between the indoors and the surrounding lush environment, inviting natural light and ventilation and reinforcing the visual connection to the Flamboyán tree. Plúmula Workshop House is a project that responds thoughtfully to its context, integrating into the local neighborhood while offering a tranquil and inspiring sanctuary for its inhabitant.

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 Office building Post Type Building Project Type COMMERCIAL Country France Year 2020 Area 23,000 m² Client The Le Monde Group // Redman IDF Photographers Ludwig Favre, Jared Chulski www.zhiig.com Premium Member CG Artist Andrew L Collaborate 3D Design Suggest Materials Suggest Product Add Request Design © ZHIG Team Materials Suggested by Manufacturers: Model Full Name Details Details View more

RESIDENTIAL | Modular House | The Mountain Refuge, a concept by Italian architects Massimo Gnocchi and Paolo Danesi, is a prefabricated and modular tiny home that reinterprets traditional mountain cabins with contemporary design and a focus on sustainability. The project aims to provide an affordable, minimalist dwelling that allows for a deep connection with nature. The standard design consists of two prefabricated plywood modules that can be configured in different ways. A core unit of 24 square meters can be expanded with an optional 12-square-meter add-on, increasing the total space to 37 square meters. The construction system, which does not require complex foundations, allows the cabins to be assembled efficiently, even in remote locations via helicopter. For example, a version was proposed in Andorra. The design is distinguished by its steeply sloping roof and a dramatic, floor-to-ceiling glazed wall, which maximizes natural light and provides expansive views of the surrounding landscape. The exterior is protected with black pine tar for waterproofing, giving it a dark, rustic appearance that blends with the wilderness. Inside, the pale plywood is left exposed, creating a warm, modern, and minimalist aesthetic. The project emphasizes self-sufficiency and includes features for off-grid living, such as photovoltaic panels for electricity and batteries for storage. A rainwater harvesting system collects water from the roof, further reinforcing the cabin's eco-friendly philosophy.

The design is distinguished by its steeply sloping roof and a dramatic, floor-to-ceiling glazed wall, which maximizes natural light and provides expansive views of the surrounding landscape. The exterior is protected with black pine tar for waterproofing, giving it a dark, rustic appearance that blends with the wilderness. Inside, the pale plywood is left exposed, creating a warm, modern, and minimalist aesthetic. The project emphasizes self-sufficiency and includes features for off-grid living, such as photovoltaic panels for electricity and batteries for storage. A rainwater harvesting system collects water from the roof, further reinforcing the cabin's eco-friendly philosophy.

RESIDENTIAL | House | The bathhouse appears as a traditional small sea stall with red-painted cladding, tin roofs and stands on granite columns down into the water. This is what the first impression gives - especially when coming from the road at the back - where the building seems closed and modest. While it slides well into cultural-historical diversity, it makes assumptions about a twist. Looking better, you notice that several of the cladding tables are angled, so that they close the building to the back and open to the front. If you come in you experience the purpose - you are shielded while having access to the whole sea. The bathhouse rests on a galvanized steel frame that stands on two granite columns and a concrete base at the rear. The building is designed to fit into the environment without sticking out too much while having a modern design language. This is solved by working with the building as a volume of scarce details instead of surfaces such as roof and wall. The materials are treated with the same color to enhance the experience of the volume. The materials consist of solid wood floors and ceilings and a room with toilet at the back with walls of solid wood that stiffen the construction. In the main room, the traditional stonework structure has been removed and replaced by thicker cladding tables angled 45° carrying the ceiling. Between each cladding table are mounted narrow transparent acrylic panels. The doors are executed in the same way, both with and without acrylic panels. | https://static.wixstatic.com/media/a0ba0f_45695b8e02974b69887de2bd297d1b98~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1050,h_700,al_c,q_85/Handegaard-Bathhouse-Carlos%20Rollan%20(8).jpg 1/0 Private Public Pin Pin 0 x Appreciators 0 3D models Product 4.1K Views 0 Appreciated Appreciate Please login to appreciate Bathhouse Fredrikstad, Norway handegaard.no Source: Published on Feb 17, 2024 by: Architectural Designer Micro Homes Premium Member More Buildings from Norway Facts: Up Up Architecture Office Handegård Arkitektur Norway Category: RESIDENTIAL House Project Type: Post Type: Building Country: Norway Carlos Rollan Photographers: Architects: Handegård Arkitektur Area: Year: City: Fredrikstad Construction: Client Description: the Architects Text description by The bathhouse appears as a traditional small sea stall with red-painted cladding, tin roofs and stands on granite columns down into the water.

CAMPING | Lodge | Cécile Lodge is a modular, off-grid tiny home built by Go-Box, located in a wooded area in Lac-Mégantic, Quebec. 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.

SHELTERS | Cabin | Nestled in the woods of Blountville, Tennessee, Perch 2.0 by Mike Stone Architect is a 415-square-foot oak shelter that emphasizes a hands-on, immersive approach to architecture. The project, conceived in 2017 when the architect acquired a large quantity of rough-sawn white oak lumber, was built over three years and was heavily influenced by the process of its own creation. The availability, condition, and sizes of the salvaged materials dictated the form of the final structure, resulting in a design that is both a practical retreat and a testament to unconventional architectural production. The building exhibits a "gritty, imperfect nature" that gives it a timeless character, despite being new construction. The design purposefully incorporates reused materials, with reclaimed oak forming the main structure and brick salvaged from a 1940s printing press making up parts of the construction. The black siding pays homage to the traditional tobacco barns found throughout the Eastern U.S. landscape. An architect's great-grandfather's swing is also incorporated into the design, adding a personal and historical touch. The result is a structure that looks as though it has existed on the property for a much longer time. While serving as a retreat for camping and socially distanced gatherings, Perch 2.0's purpose extends beyond its function. Much of its value was realized during the construction process itself, allowing the architect to explore a direct and unmediated approach to building. The shelter is also intended to be a base from which to design future architectural interventions on the property.

MULTI-FUNCTIONAL | Shed | Created by New Zealand's Herbst Architects, the Utility Shed is a small but exquisitely detailed structure on Great Barrier Island. Designed for a family that uses the site as a summer retreat, the shed serves as a secure, functional space to be used and locked up while the main holiday house, or bach, is not in use. Located on a heavily treed lot with a stream leading to a sheltered beach, the shed is part of a larger, long-term plan for the property. Despite its small footprint of just 6 square meters plus a small deck, the shed is a testament to Herbst Architects' ability to work in harmony with the New Zealand landscape. Known for their sensitive, materially expressive, and context-aware designs, the architects approached this project with the same care as their larger, award-winning baches. The shed is designed to be as efficient and self-contained as a "Swiss army knife," ready to be unfolded and used. The design is autonomous and carefully positioned among the trees, with a boardwalk to protect the root systems. As is typical of Herbst's work on the off-grid Great Barrier Island, the shed minimizes its environmental impact.

RESIDENTIAL | House | Located in Moëlan-sur-Mer, France, Maison I is a bioclimatic individual house designed by architect Emilien Robin and completed in 2009. The project was an early commission for Robin, who at the time was part of the firm Boidot Robin architectes urbanistes and had graduated from the Nantes National School of Architecture in 2006. The house, created as a secondary residence, was designed with a bioclimatic strategy in mind, prioritizing low-energy performance and a minimal construction budget, especially given its location in a coastal area. The design intentionally moves away from purely formal gestures, instead reinterpreting elements of vernacular architecture to create a contemporary house that is deeply connected to its surroundings. The architecture uses a simple, modern design that is well-integrated into the natural landscape. Its understated aesthetic and thoughtful use of materials create a dwelling that is both beautiful and respectful of its environment.

He focuses on revealing the existing resources and vitality of these areas through architecture, often working on public buildings like community centers and schools. His work, such as the community facilities center in Neuvecelle, for which he received the Équerre d'Argent award, demonstrates a sensitive approach to integrating new structures into existing urban fabrics while reinterpreting traditional typologies. Robin is also an educator at the École Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture de Paris-Belleville and advocates for sustainable architecture and the social impact of architectural production. He has also contributed to exhibitions, including the French pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale.

COMMERCIAL | Office building | The Ilham Tower development brings together a variety of spaces for living and working in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, all within the compact footprint of a 58-storey, 275-metre-high tower – when complete, it will be one of the tallest mixed-use developments in the city. The challenge of designing such a significant new high-rise scheme was to relate to the large, urban scale, as well as in detail – close-up, the façade is rich and finely tuned to shade the interiors and to provide high-quality living spaces. The tower’s geometry is driven by the need for flexible, column-free spaces to accommodate its mixture of functions. Its form is equally shaped by the climate and urban context – the diamond-shaped plan increases the living spaces with views of key city landmarks and the facades tilt away from the morning and evening sun to reduce solar gain. Extending the public realm, the building is set back from the perimeter of the site and poised on a slender base to create a generous, tree-lined plaza that reaches into the atrium. The glazed facades are pulled back to shade the entrances and create an impressive arrival sequence. The tower also features huge, open sky gardens, which are up to 40 metres in height and have uninterrupted city views, made possible by the tower’s innovative, self-bracing diagrid structure. Office floors are located in the lower portion of the tower, centred on a dramatic three-storey atrium, and serviced apartments are above – at ground level, the two functions have individual entrance lobbies on either side of the building. At the very top of the tower are penthouses, oriented to face spectacular views of KL city centre. The stainless steel-clad structure, the geometry of the triangulated glass panels and the shading systems are all integrated to create a powerful, unified form. Following the profile of the structure, shading is provided by diagonal brise-soleil across each façade, oriented in response to the sun’s path to protect the interiors from solar heat gain, and glare is reduced by an opaque frit on the high-performance glazing. The structural solution also minimises the material required for construction and therefore the building’s embedded energy, contributing to the project’s target BCA Green Mark Gold Plus rating. | https://static.wixstatic.com/media/9756fd_180d1e1534894113b71c70301af867cb~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_2000,h_1124,al_c,q_90/Ilham%20Tower%20(4).jfif 1/0 Private Public Pin Pin 0 x Appreciators 0 3D models Product 3.1K Views 0 Appreciated Appreciate Please login to appreciate Ilham Tower Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia fosterandpartners.com Source: Published on Oct 1, 2023 by: Photographer Anna Salonen Premium Member More Buildings from Malaysia Facts: Up Up Architecture Office Foster + Partners United Kingdom Category: COMMERCIAL Office building Project Type: Post Type: Building Country: Malaysia Photographers: Architects: Foster + Partners Area: 92,000 m2 Year: 2015 City: Kuala Lumpur Construction: Client Ilham Baru Sdn Bhd Description: the architects Text description by The Ilham Tower development brings together a variety of spaces for living and working in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, all within the compact footprint of a 58-storey, 275-metre-high tower – when complete, it will be one of the tallest mixed-use developments in the city.

RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | The site is situated just north of the 1000-meter forest road, which runs east-west at an altitude of 1000 meters in Karuizawa Oiwake. Surrounding the area are few residential structures, and to the north lies a national wildlife sanctuary, ensuring that no future development will occur and preserving the existing forest. The site features a flat, diamond-shaped layout, one side of which adjoins a gravel road. The axis of the short diagonal is oriented almost due south, while the site itself exhibits a fan-shaped slope that complements the diamond configuration, making it challenging to interpret the seemingly straightforward shape. Upon my initial visit, I was struck by the pristine forest that gently sloped to the south, leading me to believe it would be an ideal location for constructing a simple cabin that fosters a connection with nature. To maintain a more primitive ambiance, we opted to minimize alterations to the site's original shape and to design various levels that harmonize with the natural topography. The lower level serves as a roofed outdoor space, the middle level functions as a semi-outdoor interior area, and the upper level provides an independent living space, ensuring greater privacy as one ascends. Furthermore, each level is adaptable, allowing for versatile use without being confined to specific functions, resulting in a minimalist environment. For instance, the lower level features an entrance porch and a terrace that connects to the garden, transforming into the main dining area during the summer months. The middle level is encircled by a kitchen, benches, and a wood-burning stove, creating an expansive hall that can serve multiple purposes. Both the terrace and hall can be fully opened to connect them seamlessly. A bench in the hall is positioned diagonally opposite the terrace bench, while considerable distance is maintained between spaces in both plan and cross-section, enabling one to fully appreciate the harmonious forest setting. The upper-level sleeping area connects to the hall via a change in elevation, serving as a spacious sofa for daytime relaxation and a sleeping area at night. The bathroom faces the mountainside opposite the road, allowing for an immersive experience of the vibrant northern forest. The three forest-set levels feature openings designed to resonate with the surrounding woodland, and by positioning them at varied elevations according to the site, they achieve a greater integration with the forest environment. The structure is a single-story wooden building constructed using traditional methods, with elevated floors supported by a minimal foundation and partially overhanging. The five exposed pillars supporting the roof of the hall are 75 x 150 mm flat columns that also function as mullions for the wooden fittings, ensuring a cohesive connection with the forest.

Surrounding the area are few residential structures, and to the north lies a national wildlife sanctuary, ensuring that no future development will occur and preserving the existing forest. The site features a flat, diamond-shaped layout, one side of which adjoins a gravel road. The axis of the short diagonal is oriented almost due south, while the site itself exhibits a fan-shaped slope that complements the diamond configuration, making it challenging to interpret the seemingly straightforward shape. Upon my initial visit, I was struck by the pristine forest that gently sloped to the south, leading me to believe it would be an ideal location for constructing a simple cabin that fosters a connection with nature. To maintain a more primitive ambiance, we opted to minimize alterations to the site's original shape and to design various levels that harmonize with the natural topography. The lower level serves as a roofed outdoor space, the middle level functions as a semi-outdoor interior area, and the upper level provides an independent living space, ensuring greater privacy as one ascends. Furthermore, each level is adaptable, allowing for versatile use without being confined to specific functions, resulting in a minimalist environment. For instance, the lower level features an entrance porch and a terrace that connects to the garden, transforming into the main dining area during the summer months. The middle level is encircled by a kitchen, benches, and a wood-burning stove, creating an expansive hall that can serve multiple purposes. Both the terrace and hall can be fully opened to connect them seamlessly. A bench in the hall is positioned diagonally opposite the terrace bench, while considerable distance is maintained between spaces in both plan and cross-section, enabling one to fully appreciate the harmonious forest setting. The upper-level sleeping area connects to the hall via a change in elevation, serving as a spacious sofa for daytime relaxation and a sleeping area at night. The bathroom faces the mountainside opposite the road, allowing for an immersive experience of the vibrant northern forest. The three forest-set levels feature openings designed to resonate with the surrounding woodland, and by positioning them at varied elevations according to the site, they achieve a greater integration with the forest environment. The structure is a single-story wooden building constructed using traditional methods, with elevated floors supported by a minimal foundation and partially overhanging. The five exposed pillars supporting the roof of the hall are 75 x 150 mm flat columns that also function as mullions for the wooden fittings, ensuring a cohesive connection with the forest.

RESIDENTIAL | Tiny Home | Completed in 2019, Monte House is a 42-square-meter compact vacation home designed by TACO taller de arquitectura contextual for a young couple. Located on a 10,000-square-meter plot in the wild landscape of southeastern Mexico, the house is a secluded retreat that encourages contemplation and a close connection to its natural surroundings. The structure is a simple and compact two-story volume set on a platform elevated off the ground. This elevation helps protect against undesirable animals and facilitates construction on the site's rocky terrain, which prevented excavation. The home is strategically oriented to work with the region's dominant winds and sun exposure, ensuring a comfortable interior temperature. The exterior and interior are finished with a rough stucco and an artisanal lime-based paint with mineral pigments, giving the building a natural, reddish tone that blends with the surrounding soil. Regional cedar wood is used for the folding doors and operable louvers, allowing residents to control the amount of privacy and connection to the outdoors. A pre-existing tree provides shade for the swimming pool and terrace, an extension of the interior social area. The compact interior includes a double-height living room with a kitchenette, a sleeping mezzanine, and a bathroom with an outdoor shower. The interior design features a collection of locally crafted design pieces in natural tones that enhance the space's warmth and connection to the region.
