ENTERTAINMENT | Sports Arena | The Nokia Arena project is an ambitious urban renewal project, situated at a pivotal location within Tampere, Finland. It stitches the urban fabric back together across an existing railway and connects East to West, creating a new vibrant hub of high quality living, working, leisure and culture for the city and Finland. The mixed-use program consists of a multi-purpose ice hockey arena with a hotel, five adjacent towers with a podium that includes residences, retail and offices. The arena, which occupies one fifth of the complex, will have the capacity to accommodate 17,000 visitors. With its casino, bars and restaurant at deck level, the arena redefines its pivotal function as a hub for diverse urban activities. There is approximately 82,000 square meters of mixed-use program; including 64,500 square meters of arena space, 5800 square meters for a practice hall and 11,600 square meters hotel with three rooftop saunas. “My goal was to reflect a 21st sensibility of living within a high-density sustainable lifestyle. The series of buildings each has its own unique identity and as a whole create a dynamic urban skyline that reflects light, color and form. Like a precious gemstones on a crown the forms crystallize in a richness of contemporary urban living.” —Daniel Libeskind | https://static.wixstatic.com/media/9756fd_7d6fb4b2bc9c4a15bbe87c7fe76c1517~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1140,h_650,al_c,q_85/Nokia%20arena%20and%20residential%20towers.jpg 1/0 Private Public Pin Pin 0 x Appreciators 0 3D models Product 2.9K Views 0 Appreciated Appreciate Please login to appreciate Nokia arena and residential towers Kansikatu 3, 33100 Tampere, Finland www.libeskind.com Source: Published on Sep 27, 2023 by: Interior designer Riikka Kekkonen Premium Member More Buildings from Finland Facts: Up Up Architecture Office Daniel Libeskind Studio United States Category: ENTERTAINMENT Sports Arena Project Type: Post Type: Building Country: Finland Photographers: Architects: Daniel Libeskind Studio Area: 64,500 m2 Year: 2010 City: Tampere Construction: - Client SRV Rakennus Oy Description: the architects Text description by The Nokia Arena project is an ambitious urban renewal project, situated at a pivotal location within Tampere, Finland.

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 Sports Arena Post Type Building Project Type ENTERTAINMENT Country Finland Year 2010 Area 64,500 m2 Client SRV Rakennus Oy Photographers www.zhiig.com Premium Member Interior designer Riikka Kekkonen 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 | Andina Patagónica #4 is a 65-square-meter cabin designed by forma Architecture in El Bolsón, Argentina, a location characterized by its Patagonian vegetation. Completed in 2019, the project is situated on a slope with views towards Cerro Piltriquitron. The architecture is adapted to the natural incline of the terrain, allowing the house to step down in a way that maximizes the panoramic vista. The cabin's design emphasizes efficiency and sustainability. A 2-foot by 2-foot grid system was used to modularize the construction, which reduced material waste and enabled a quicker build time. A substantial northern overhang was incorporated to passively protect the interior from the sun, while cross-ventilation provides a natural cooling mechanism. For the interior, full sheets of pine plywood were used to create a cozy, cabin-like feel, showcasing the modularity of the construction. The exterior material choices included charred wood, utilizing the Shou Sugi Ban technique on the north and south walls for weather protection, and black corrugated metal for the roof, east, and west walls. Half of the cabin rests on a concrete slab, providing thermal mass for regulating interior temperatures. Recycled cellulose was used for insulation.

RESIDENTIAL | House | Situated on a narrow, triangular plot of land in the Horinouchi neighborhood of Suginami, Tokyo, the House in Horinouchi is a small, two-story residence designed by Mizuishi Architects Atelier for a couple and their daughter. Completed in 2011, the project is a testament to resourceful Japanese design, making ingenious use of a confined site nestled between a river and a road. The home's unusual shape is a direct response to the plot's acute angle, with the structure's volume pushing the boundaries of the permitted building envelope. The exterior is clad in metallic brown panels, creating a solid and distinct form with a cantilevered second floor that provides a small, sheltered parking space underneath. Despite its compact size of just 55.2 square meters (595 square feet) over two floors, plus a mezzanine loft, the interior feels more spacious than its footprint suggests. A "reverse" floor plan places the main living spaces on the second floor to take advantage of natural light and views over the adjacent river promenade. Large windows on both sides of the living area, including one that opens to a narrow balcony, frame long sightlines that extend the visual length of the house. A double-height ceiling in the kitchen area further enhances the sense of vertical space and connects to a small loft above, accessed by a ladder and illuminated by a large skylight. The ground floor houses a more private master bedroom, which, defined only by curtains, can expand visually into the adjacent stair hall.

RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | “Tømmertempelet,” or the "Timber Temple," is a mountain cabin in Sinnes, Norway, designed by Knut Folstad Arkitekt and completed in 2020. The project is a contemporary reinterpretation of traditional Norwegian cabin architecture, with the design blending traditional timber-framing methods with a modern, minimalist aesthetic. The design of Tømmertempelet is a playful response to the "artificially traditional" winter cabins that have become common in the area. The architect aimed to create a structure that felt both deeply rooted in local tradition and also difficult to place in a specific time or context. The cabin features a strong, solid pine timber structure that is exposed on the inside and outside, becoming the building's central aesthetic feature. The main volume is lifted off the ground on concrete spot foundations, which adapt to seasonal weather and the sloping landscape. The cabin is clad with high-grade fir from a local sawmill, with an accordion-like panel on the second floor adding a dynamic element that interacts with light. The interior features pine walls and spruce floors treated with hardwax oil, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Custom-built furniture in ash was also used. Most of the cabin was built with locally sourced materials, and wood pulp was used for insulation. The cabin is composed of two main volumes: Main Volume: This area contains a double-height living room that opens to the outdoors, a kitchen, and a sleeping loft. A diagonal line cuts through the interior, making the space feel larger than its compact size. Smaller Volume: This section contains the bathroom and toilet. The cabin’s bathroom contains a custom, rich-green aluminum sitting tub, which, according to the architect, suggests a small forest pond when filled with water. The placement of the high windows allows morning and evening light to dramatically enter the space, creating a sense of natural tranquility.

The project is a contemporary reinterpretation of traditional Norwegian cabin architecture, with the design blending traditional timber-framing methods with a modern, minimalist aesthetic. The design of Tømmertempelet is a playful response to the "artificially traditional" winter cabins that have become common in the area. The architect aimed to create a structure that felt both deeply rooted in local tradition and also difficult to place in a specific time or context. The cabin features a strong, solid pine timber structure that is exposed on the inside and outside, becoming the building's central aesthetic feature. The main volume is lifted off the ground on concrete spot foundations, which adapt to seasonal weather and the sloping landscape. The cabin is clad with high-grade fir from a local sawmill, with an accordion-like panel on the second floor adding a dynamic element that interacts with light. The interior features pine walls and spruce floors treated with hardwax oil, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Custom-built furniture in ash was also used. Most of the cabin was built with locally sourced materials, and wood pulp was used for insulation. The cabin is composed of two main volumes: Main Volume: This area contains a double-height living room that opens to the outdoors, a kitchen, and a sleeping loft. A diagonal line cuts through the interior, making the space feel larger than its compact size. Smaller Volume: This section contains the bathroom and toilet. The cabin’s bathroom contains a custom, rich-green aluminum sitting tub, which, according to the architect, suggests a small forest pond when filled with water. The placement of the high windows allows morning and evening light to dramatically enter the space, creating a sense of natural tranquility.

RESIDENTIAL | House | After a long search, our clients Cameron and Nicole found a property in the Bellbird Area of Blackburn, a classified National Trust area that has been protected against significant development since the 1960s. The Bellbird Area is a suburban bush setting, connected to the Blackburn Bush Corridor a critical habitat for birdlife and animals. The streetscapes retain a peaceful ambience with no footpaths, dominated by native vegetation. The site featured 41 existing established native trees, all of which were preserved in the creation of this home nestled amongst, and suffused by, the natural landscape. Cameron and Nicole’s brief to us was for a single storey family home that blended warmth and comfort, which was responsive to and respectful of the natural beauty of its bush surroundings. The wonderful tree canopies, textures, smells, sounds and colours of the site became the key drivers for the design. Internal sightlines at eye level were dominated by trunks and neighbouring properties, so we gave preference to abundant north-facing highlight windows which direct views up and out to the treetops above, flooding the interiors with daylight. Internally lined with Tasmanian Oak, these highlights developed into a synthesis of the external expression of the building, as angled roofs reach up to the tree canopies above. A light, natural material palette internally starts with a central spine of Australian limestone cladding, which wraps from the external entry into the heart of the house. External materials, such as black-oiled bandsawn Accoya, were selected to provide a contrasting backdrop to the grey-green of the eucalypts while mirroring bark like vertical texture. Centred around an open-plan kitchen, dining and living space which opens up to the landscape at the rear, the house is arranged to meet Cameron and Nicole’s brief for spaces to share with their two daughters, and spaces of solitude for all their individual pursuits – music, reading, study. This project is the result of a wonderful collaborative relationship between architect, builder and client. The building team treated each detail with craft and care, resulting in a meticulous outcome. Landscape designer Sam Cox created a whimsical and meandering garden featuring an abundance of native grasses. Cameron and Nicole have planted over 1400 indigenous plants and installed a pond to encourage wildlife back to the site. Bellbird House actively preserves this important area of natural habitat within suburbia. It is a house of activity and togetherness, a home where a family can connect with the natural environment and each other. Cam, Nicole and all of the project team are honoured and proud that Bellbird House has been shortlisted in the 2022 Victorian Architecture Awards, Residential Architecture Houses (New) category. Passive and active design principles are essential to the success of Bellbird House which achieves a 7.1 star rating. Passively, north-facing highlight windows flood the interiors with natural light and operable segments provide and exhausting effect. Considered sun-shading protects during summer while harnessing winter sun angles; vertical batten screens to west and east provide additional protection. The entry hall way provides a long view and connection from front to rear, and facilitates cross-flow ventilation, as do carefully placed smaller south and west windows. All double glazing is high-performance thermally-broken aluminium. External stud walls are 140mm to facilitate bulk R4.0 insulation batts and Crisp Projects also ensured the building was wrapped and sealed to minimise heat transfer. Cladding is sustainably-sourced oiled Accoya timber, with PEFC locally-sourced, sustainably-managed Silver Top Ash highlights and natural limestone cladding from WA. Internally, PEFC Tasmanian Oak lines the ceilings and solid recycled timber features in main joinery pieces, celebrating beauty in re-use of a natural material. Thermal mass principles act via the limestone cladding and insulated concrete slab with hydronic heating to main living areas, while Australian made 100% wool carpet adds warmth. A car charger is situated in the garage.

RESIDENTIAL | House | Built in 2018 in São Roque, Portugal, the Chã House is a renovation of a small, rustic, and partially ruined stone farmer's cottage designed by Krafna. The project is a study in contrasts, preserving the original building's modest and picturesque stone exterior while completely transforming the interior into a modern and minimalist weekend retreat. The architects made the conscious decision to maintain the traditional appearance of the exterior, preserving its irregular window openings and only adding one larger window on the facade. This modest exterior belies the dramatically modern and playful interior, which is designed to be slowly discovered by its inhabitants. The central element of the 45-square-meter floor plan is the kitchen, from which a mirrored door leads to the bathroom and a staircase leads to the upper floor. Integrated cabinets and sliding mirrored panels help conceal storage, contributing to the minimal aesthetic and creating a sense of hidden discoveries within the small space. The interior of the Chã House features a rich palette of materials, including wood doors, ceilings, and floors that contribute a warm, cabin-like feel, and lavish marble surfaces in the kitchen. A double-height ceiling over the main living area, combined with the strategic use of light-colored materials and mirrors, creates an illusion of greater spaciousness. A playful detail is a 45-degree rotated "spy window" on the upper floor, which allows inhabitants to look down on the living room and creates a sightline through the entire house.

RESIDENTIAL | House | Designed by Anna-Marie Chin Architects and completed in 2015, Tom's House is a compact, award-winning home located in the Jack's Point residential subdivision near Queenstown, New Zealand. The house was conceived as part one of a two-stage plan, and its design takes cues from the region's rural vernacular while providing a contemporary and dynamic living space. Drawing inspiration from a traditional rural shed, the architects utilized a simple, dark Colorsteel skin that wraps over the walls and roof of the building. The modest structure is given a modern twist through a highly sculptural Exterior: The simple shed form is reinterpreted with a gable roof running diagonally across the building, creating dynamic elevations that echo the surrounding mountain landscape. The asymmetrical ridgeline follows the contour of the land and provides variation in the internal ceiling heights. Dark, recessive tones were chosen for the walls, roof, and window frames to help the home nestle discreetly into its impressive natural environment. Interior: In contrast to the robust, protective exterior, the interior offers a warm and inviting atmosphere. Recessed areas, such as the porches and entry, are lined with honey-colored plywood, extending the interior outwards and creating a strong indoor-outdoor connection. The same warm-toned plywood lines the interior walls and ceilings, creating a sense of enclosure and coziness. Space optimization: The 156-square-meter home is designed for efficiency and flexibility. Its layout features numerous cleverly designed niches and hidden storage areas, including a mezzanine study accessed by a ladder above the dining area. Polished concrete floors provide a resilient base and help absorb warmth. Awards and recognition Despite its modest size and budget, the sophisticated design of Tom's House has been recognized with multiple awards: 2016 Home of the Year: Best Small Home (New Zealand). 2016 New Zealand Architecture Awards: Housing. 2016 Southern Architecture Awards: Winner.

RESIDENTIAL | House | This house in the center of Tokyo is the home of a couple. The building area is only 18.84 square meters. Despite occupying a very small plot of land, they are able to live a prosperous and fulfilling life. The design incorporates two skylights of different sizes and heights, allowing direct sunlight and moonlight to pour into the room, creating a dynamic atmosphere that reflects the changing seasons. Within this compact Tokyo residence, residents can experience the passage of seasons firsthand. They enjoy an open-air bath on the bath terrace, taking in hot, cold, sunny, rainy, and snowy days every day. The garden features plants that can be seen from the dining space facing the street, blending indoor and outdoor living seamlessly. Collected LP records and books are lined up throughout the house, emphasizing a love for music and literature. The couple's philosophy is not to minimize their space but to maximize abundance, making the most of every corner. At the end of the large window is a private road accessible to local residents, adding a sense of community to their living environment. The garden is designed with a life road, serving both as a pathway and a planting area. Neighbors often talk about gardening, walking their dogs, and children frequently look into this small house with curiosity and interest, fostering a close-knit neighborhood atmosphere. | https://static.wixstatic.com/media/a0ba0f_35c4edc7f97d4aa1b9f7592996e3b67f~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_2000,h_1875,al_c,q_90/Love2%20House-Takeshi%20Hosaka%20Architects-Photographer-KOJI%20FUJII%20(1).jpg 1/0 Private Public Pin Pin 0 x Appreciators 0 3D models Product 2.6K Views 0 Appreciated Appreciate Please login to appreciate Love2 House Tokyo, Japan hosakatakeshi.com Source: Published on Oct 6, 2024 by: Architectural Designer Micro Homes Premium Member More Buildings from Japan Facts: Up Up Architecture Office Takeshi Hosaka Architects Japan Category: RESIDENTIAL House Project Type: Post Type: Building Country: Japan KOJI FUJII Photographers: Architects: Takeshi Hosaka Architects Area: 18 m² Year: 2019 City: Tokyo Construction: Client Description: the Architects Text description by This house in the center of Tokyo is the home of a couple.

RESIDENTIAL | Summer House | The Vollerup Summerhouse, designed by Høyer Arkitektur, is a modern retreat located in a wooded area on the northwestern coast of Zealand, Denmark. The project is a contemporary interpretation of the traditional longhouse typology, with a minimal design that harmonizes with the surrounding nature. The elongated, single-story structure is carefully positioned to create a calm, horizontal contrast to the vertical trees, effectively creating a secluded oasis. A key feature of the design is its glulam grid construction, which allows for a lightweight yet structurally sound framework. The house rests on cast point foundations, a gentle approach that minimizes its impact on the forest floor and preserves the surrounding tree roots. This method reflects a philosophy of architecture as temporary inhabitation rather than a permanent fixture in the landscape. While the north facade is mostly closed to provide privacy, the south facade features extensive floor-to-ceiling glazing, allowing for abundant natural light and a strong visual connection to the forest. The interior of the house is defined by its clean lines and timber elements, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The design includes features that promote low-impact living, such as a naturally planted wastewater filtration system, a low-energy heating system, and triple-paned windows. The house also incorporates flexible, modular rooms built around an atrium, which serves as the heart of the home. The house was commissioned by a Danish interior designer and the founder of Organic Basics, who sought a nature retreat for their family.

HOSPITALITY | Wellness Resort Cabins | The Ziedlejas Wellness Resort in Latvia is a place where traditional Latvian heritage meets modern design and innovation. Designed by Riga-based architectural firm Open AD, the resort offers guests a tranquil and mindful retreat into nature. The project, which has been developed in a highly collaborative process with the owners and a landscape team, focuses on celebrating Latvian folklore and nature without compromising modern standards. The resort's cabins and saunas, with their thoughtful design and use of local materials, create an immersive experience that encourages rest, rejuvenation, and connection with one's surroundings. The Corten Steel and Glass Cabins In 2020, Open AD introduced three compact cabins to the hillside at Ziedlejas. Clad in contrasting Cor-Ten steel and glass, these structures offer an immersive experience by embedding guests directly into the landscape. The cabins were inspired by the "tiny living" movement and Japanese design, with the intent to create a minimalist, clutter-free space that facilitates a connection to nature. The multi-functional design includes a foldaway bed that can be stowed to make room for a tea table that pops up from the wood floor. A ladder leads to a mezzanine loft, providing additional sleeping space. The fully glazed fronts and roofs provide guests with panoramic, "full screen" views of the surrounding ponds, forests, and starry night skies. Interior details: The bathroom is discreetly tucked into the steel-clad portion of the cabin, and the interiors feature muted, natural tones of gray and cream. Special storage boxes are attached inside the door to encourage guests to remove their shoes upon entry. The Traditional and Contemporary Saunas A central element of the resort is the traditional Latvian sauna ritual, or pirts. Open AD designed several unique saunas, each offering a distinct experience. Glass Sauna (baltā pirts): Built into a hillside, this concrete-structured "white sauna" features a large glass facade that provides panoramic views of the ponds and surrounding landscape. It is situated close to a pond for a refreshing plunge. Smoke Sauna (melnā pirts): A more traditional sauna, the "black sauna" is constructed from red spruce and is hidden within the forest for a more primeval, secluded experience. Wool Sauna (aitas vilnas pirts): Completed in 2021, this sauna features an internal yurt-like canvas structure wrapped in wool, which releases lanolin when heated for its purported healing properties. The room is round and centered around a wood stove, and a winding walkway leading to it helps guests mentally prepare for the ritual.

RESIDENTIAL | Housing | Living Places Copenhagen, an experimental project by EFFEKT architects in collaboration with the VELUX Group, Artelia engineers, and Enemærke & Petersen contractors, was unveiled in April 2023 in Copenhagen's Jernbanebyen district. This prototype village demonstrates that it is already possible to build healthy, low-carbon, and affordable homes using readily available materials and existing construction techniques, rather than relying on future technology. The initiative was part of Copenhagen's tenure as UNESCO World Capital of Architecture in 2023. The project showcases seven full-scale prototypes, comprising five open pavilions and two complete, ready-to-live-in homes. These are built based on five key principles that aim to create homes that are healthy, affordable, simple, scalable, and adaptable over time. A comprehensive Life Cycle Assessment was conducted for each material, design, and building technique to carefully evaluate and minimize its environmental impact. The result is a total CO2 footprint nearly three times lower than that of an average Danish house, while also ensuring a first-class indoor climate. The two completed homes are a timber frame house, built with standard wood construction, and a cross-laminated timber (CLT) house. Both are designed with a focus on healthy indoor environments, optimizing daylight, thermal comfort, acoustics, and air quality. Natural ventilation is prioritized wherever possible. To ensure affordability, the designs focus on simple and efficient construction methods that do not add significant cost. The modular approach also allows for future scalability and adaptability to different settings. The project's design also features a focus on disassembly, so that the village can be deconstructed and rebuilt elsewhere after its initial 3–5-year test period, further extending the lifespan of the materials. The concept's long-term goal is to inspire and challenge the building industry to adopt more sustainable practices. After 88 days of occupation by 98 guests, the project collected valuable data on indoor climate and occupant experience, confirming that what is good for the planet can also greatly benefit people.

RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | CL02 Cabin is a 55-square-meter cabin designed by Bucharest-based Vinklu architecture and completed in 2025. Situated in the forested hillside of Valea lui Enache, Romania, the cabin was built upon the foundations and footprint of a previously failed structure and a small, family-built annex. This approach minimized the project's environmental impact by focusing on renewal rather than replacement. The design balances minimalist form with deep respect for its rural surroundings. The cabin is composed of a dark, angular form wrapped in blackened autoclaved timber, which helps it blend seamlessly into the forest. The layout is distributed across two floors, with the ground floor featuring a master bedroom and bathroom, along with a small terrace. The upper floor contains the main living areas—a lounge, kitchen, and dining area. This second level features a vaulted ceiling and expansive, panoramic windows that open toward the forest, creating a sense of expansiveness and a "cinematic" connection to the natural setting. Smaller windows on the ground floor enhance intimacy and privacy. A balcony extends the living area, and the staircase connecting the two floors visually reinforces the sense of openness. The minimalist palette of clean, neutral finishes throughout the interior directs focus to the surrounding nature. Sustainable features include efficient insulation, natural ventilation, and passive solar orientation to reduce mechanical intervention.

Situated in the forested hillside of Valea lui Enache, Romania, the cabin was built upon the foundations and footprint of a previously failed structure and a small, family-built annex. This approach minimized the project's environmental impact by focusing on renewal rather than replacement. The design balances minimalist form with deep respect for its rural surroundings. The cabin is composed of a dark, angular form wrapped in blackened autoclaved timber, which helps it blend seamlessly into the forest. The layout is distributed across two floors, with the ground floor featuring a master bedroom and bathroom, along with a small terrace. The upper floor contains the main living areas—a lounge, kitchen, and dining area. This second level features a vaulted ceiling and expansive, panoramic windows that open toward the forest, creating a sense of expansiveness and a "cinematic" connection to the natural setting. Smaller windows on the ground floor enhance intimacy and privacy. A balcony extends the living area, and the staircase connecting the two floors visually reinforces the sense of openness. The minimalist palette of clean, neutral finishes throughout the interior directs focus to the surrounding nature. Sustainable features include efficient insulation, natural ventilation, and passive solar orientation to reduce mechanical intervention.

HOSPITALITY | Prefabricated | GlamBOX is a compact, two-story accommodation module designed by Studio Officina82, a firm led by architects Fabio Revetria and Lara Sappa. Completed for the Selucente hospitality project in Garessio, Italy, the structure was inspired by the traditional barns and huts common in the rural Alpine landscape. Measuring 5 by 3 meters, the GlamBOX is crafted from chestnut wood and designed to combine rustic charm with an innovative function: providing guests with a unique, open-air stargazing experience. The ground floor of the GlamBOX features a bedroom and a bathroom. The most distinctive element is a bed mounted on a trolley system that allows it to be moved onto an external platform. This enables occupants to sleep directly under the stars, fully immersed in nature. A mezzanine level above provides additional space for relaxation, reading, or accommodating children.
