RETREATS | Cabin | Constructed in 2014 by Chilean studio DRAA (del Rio Arquitectos Asociados) for a budget of just $15,000, the Charred Cabin is a 15-square-meter weekend retreat located on a historic mountain road in Olmué, Chile. Situated on a steep hillside, the cabin is elevated on stilts to maximize views of the surrounding coastal mountains and historic landscape. Its design was influenced by the site's unique history and melancholy atmosphere, serving as a minimalist mountain hideout for an academic couple. The exterior cladding is made from inexpensive pine planks that have been traditionally charred on-site. This natural, chemical-free process protects the wood from decay, rot, and insects, while also creating a distinct black aesthetic that helps the structure blend into the rugged terrain. The cabin is built from prefabricated structural insulated panels (SIPs), which helped keep costs down and allowed for quick, efficient assembly by a small team. The interior of the cabin is defined by its simplicity and warmth. Plywood panels line the walls, concealing pipes and electrical wiring while providing a cozy finish that contrasts with the exterior. The main living area features a high ceiling that amplifies the sense of space. A black steel ladder provides access to a mezzanine sleeping loft above the kitchenette and wet bath. Clerestory windows in the loft frame panoramic views of the mountains, while a large window in the living area focuses on the valley below.

MULTI-FUNCTIONAL | Cabin | Designed by Trondheim-based Bergersen Arkitekter AS and completed in 2017, Viewpoint Granasjøen is a small, multi-functional cabin situated in the scenic Trollheimen mountain region of Norway. Overlooking the Granasjøen lake, the structure serves as a modern reinterpretation of the traditional Norwegian gapahuk, or lean-to. It was designed in close collaboration with the client to serve a range of purposes, including a shelter, summer house, bath house, or grill shed. The cabin's design is heavily influenced by its surrounding landscape. The angled walls and roof help the small building blend seamlessly into the rugged, mountainous environment. A traditional turf roof provides insulation and further integrates the structure with the landscape by mimicking the natural greenery. The exterior is clad in dark brown stained wood, which was chosen to complement the existing main cabin on the property. Inside, the cabin is designed for both relaxation and appreciation of the outdoors. Large, floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors on the front facade can be opened up, blurring the line between inside and out and offering expansive views of the lake and mountains. A built-in wood bench wraps around two sides of the room, providing ample seating that faces the view. A small, built-in fireplace adds warmth and a cozy focal point. The interior features simple wood finishes and stone flooring that continues out onto the terrace.

RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | Thunder Top Cabin is a unique extension designed by Gartnerfuglen Arkitekter for an existing family log cabin in the Hardangervidda mountain plateau of Norway, approximately 1,000 meters above sea level. Located in a barren moorland landscape of weather-beaten dwarf birches and heathers, the project was created for a multigenerational family to better accommodate holiday gatherings. Rather than mimicking the traditional log cabin, the architects opted for a contemporary timber-clad structure featuring a dramatic, stepped roof. This design is both a visual contrast to the older building and a clever functional element. The 17-meter-long extension is connected to the original cabin by a glass hallway that houses a wardrobe and a utility sink. This transparent corridor provides a seamless transition and fills the connecting space with natural light. The exterior of the extension is clad with untreated ore-pine, a durable material traditionally used for medieval stave churches in Scandinavia. The colorful window and door frames offer a playful touch and are inspired by the marks used on Norwegian hiking trails. The distinctive triangular shape of the cabin serves a functional purpose by creating turbulence, which prevents snow from piling up on the south-facing terrace. The stepped roof, which has 30 steps from top to bottom, is one of the cabin's most celebrated features. During the summer, it functions as a viewing platform, offering panoramic vistas of the surrounding moorlands and a nearby lake. In winter, when covered in a thick layer of snow, the roof becomes a natural ski and sledding ramp, a playful nod to the legendary Norwegian skier Sondre Norheim. Inside, the cabin features a single, minimalist, double-height space lined with wood. This open-plan interior is meant to be a versatile and simple "landscape" for the family to use for various activities, from relaxing to working. The interior's minimalism is intentional, encouraging spontaneous living that will add character to the space over time. Nooks around the edges serve as cozy reading corners, while a ladder leads to a ceiling-height mezzanine. The cabin effectively functions as an "inhabitable beacon," a modern peak that allows its inhabitants to engage with the stunning Hardangervidda landscape.

RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | The Jewell Box, a collaborative design by Mell Lawrence Architects and Citizen Artist, is a multifunctional guest house and retreat nestled among Austin, Texas's live oak trees. Designed for a client who wanted a "cabin in the woods," the 1,100-square-foot structure serves as an escape, a place of play, and a space for guests. Its compact, solid street-facing exterior, clad in timber, provides privacy, while the interior and rear facades open up completely to embrace the lush natural landscape and creek below. Maximizing the connection to its surroundings, the design is flanked by two large live oak trees that provide natural shade. The architects incorporated large, double-height steel and glass doors that fill the home with natural light and expand the main living space into the outdoors. The interior features a double-height living and dining area, with the kitchen and bathroom integrated discreetly into a back wall, keeping the central space open and airy. A lofted bedroom, offering a "treehouse feel," overlooks the living area and opens onto a screened porch nestled among the tree branches. The interior palette combines a contemporary architectural shell with warm, curated details inspired by European craft. Materials like sandy blonde timber, blue and ochre tiles, and linen curtains soften the transition between the sleek exterior and the inviting interior. Found objects and collected treasures brought back from Europe add a personal, handmade touch to the smaller, more intimate spaces. The balance of permanence—achieved through the home's deep foundations—and a cabin-like flexibility allows the structure to adapt to different uses, from a stage for entertaining to a private sanctuary.

RESIDENTIAL | Summer House | Built in 2014, the Qvarsebo Summerhouse, also known as the Summer House in Dalarna, is an 85-square-meter minimalist retreat located in Västerbyn, Sweden, and designed by architect Leo Qvarsebo for himself and his children. The house, with its striking triangular profile, was conceived as a "treehouse for adults" and is nestled between a forest and a cow pasture, with panoramic views toward a nearby lake. To maximize the benefits of its scenic location, the house features three distinct levels, with a bay window on each to frame different views and create a sense of discovery as one climbs the internal stairs. The open-plan, split-level design creates a hierarchy of spaces, from the more communal living room and kitchen on the ground floor to the more intimate sleeping areas on the upper levels. The top-floor bedroom is designed to feel like a sleeping nest under the stars. A playful and interactive element of the design is the steeply inclined facade, which serves as a climbing wall, complete with a rope hanging from the peak of the roof for access. A large timber deck extends from the front of the house, offering additional living space with swings and lounges. The house was built entirely from wood, with a frame of wooden beams forming the A-frame structure.

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

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

RESIDENTIAL | House | THE PROJECT & CLIENTS Kiddy Kitty Court House is an alteration and additions project to an arts and crafts cottage in Moonee Ponds, Melbourne. The owners, AFL player Ben Brown and marriage celebrant Hester Brown, came to us as excited parents to be. They loved their charming 2-bedroom cottage in Moonee Ponds but recognised it would not meet the demands of a growing family. Their brief was to create a family home that was light, bright, and joyous to accommodate their future kiddy’s, two kitty’s, and their busy sport loving lives. THE BRIEF The existing cottage consisted of 2 bedrooms, a charm filled living room, a small combined kitchen eating area and the cutest original bathroom with blue and pink tiles and matching blue fixtures. Although charming, the house was small, cut off from its large north facing garden, had no heating or cooling and with a 2m tall owner there were issues around head heights (Ben would hit his head while cooking!) The brief from Ben and Hester was to provide 2 additional kids bedrooms with adjoining bathroom, a large open plan living and dining and kitchen to accommodate large family gatherings. An important space to define for Hester was a separate office and welcoming sitting room for her client meetings. This space needed to be able to shut-down or open-up to the main house, as required. Hester also wanted a retreat to pamper and bath that had an expansive garden view. In addition to the functional brief was the owners desire to retain the character of the cottage, and ensure charm and personality was carried through the new house additions. THE DESIGN INTENT & OUTCOME We set about designing with the intention to minimise alterations the original fabric of the cottage - both for heritage value and cost savings. The original vestibule, sitting room and both bedrooms were retained. The sitting room and 2nd bedroom, with polished original timber floorboards and soft pink rendered walls, now perform as Hester’s reception rooms for her thriving celebrants business. A large arched pomanian pink door shuts this space down during client meetings or is opened up to hustle of family life as a second living space. The existing kitchen was demolished and converted into a WIR and ensuite with double arched vanities and separate step-down wet room. A walk-in shower and freestanding bath sits in front of full height glazing overlooking a fern filled courtyard. Pink floor tiles and arches with coloured grout accents continue the aesthetic of the house, which was inspired by the cottages original pink and blue bathroom that sadly was demolished. The blue bathroom fixtures from the original bathroom were repurposed in the kids bathroom to ensure that charm was not limited to the original cottage only. The pink arched door signifies the end of the original cottage. A new glazed link connects the cottage to a new two storey wing. Fern filled courtyards flank either side of the link filtering light and ventilation through both old and new sections of the house. Separating the old and new sections provided the opportunity to retain the Northern exposure for the cottage while still maximising Northern frontage for the new addition. The main central courtyard also fulfilled the brief for a secure shaded kitty space. Terracotta tiles lead down to the new living area, or up timber stairs to the kids zone. Once within the new living area light streams in and views peer out to various courtyard and garden spaces. The polished concrete floor, white walls and large expanses of glass are interjected with warm timber joinery and brick plinth seating elements. The joinery conceals an active life - footballs, basketballs, children’s toys, board games and tv - that can all be shut away during moments of calm. The combined kitchen, pantry and laundry space becomes a hub for cooking, prep, craft, cat stuff, storage and washing on the go. An arched chalkboard is a playful organiser for a busy family, and lots of fun for the kids. Painted white exposed rafters and detailed dowel joinery provides texture and pattern which is repeated up the stairwell and into the kids room robes. It results in the connection of spaces and the effect is light and somewhat playful. The 2 bedroom kids zone is white and lofty with splashes of colour and whimsy. The bathroom, although compact, has ample storage in under seat drawers that also provides a comfy spot for grown-ups during bath time. THE MATERIALS Ben & Hester wanted a thoughtful renovation and new addition to their house: they did not want unnecessary waste, oversized spaces, elaborate claddings or high maintenance. The exterior of the house was derived from pure simple forms with a robust minimal material pallet in shades of white. The interior material pallet was kept simple and robust with extensive use of white laminate joinery and timber veneer. Pops of coloured grout, and tiles and white timber detailing add visual interest and charm. The focus is all about light, colour, texture, and pattern: reinforcing the houses liveability and lovability. SUSTAINABILITY The front heritage section of the house had high-level insulation added to the ceiling and windows replaced with double glazed to bring the house up to meet modern energy efficiency standards. The new addition is North facing with large expanses of glass for maximum solar gain. The floor layout has an abundance of window openings that enable good ventilation and cross flow. The new additions have high-level insulation added to walls, ceiling and under the concrete slab and double gazing throughout. The orientation, double glazing and the thermal mass from the polished concrete floor makes for a warm house in winter barely needing mechanical heating during the day. The house uses LED lighting and has had a new 6kW solar system. The site has an 4000ltr rainwater harvesting system that is used to irrigate the garden and is connected for toilet flushing.

RESIDENTIAL | House | The Wiggins house in Sumner, Christchurch, New Zealand, is a family home designed by Urbanfunction Architecture and completed in 2022. Facing challenges such as a narrow site in a flood zone and proximity to neighbors, the design incorporates a gable form and central axis as a nod to the site's original cottage. The layout includes staggered garage and living wings that create courtyards to enhance natural light indoors. The exterior combines Abodo Sioo:x timber cladding and reclaimed bricks at the entrance. Inside, a glass door provides a view through a hallway with lime plaster, leading to a bright, open-plan living area featuring a double-height ceiling and mezzanine. The interior design uses natural materials like reclaimed brick and timber, along with textured plaster and curves, to soften the space. Upstairs, windows offer views of the Port Hills, and there's a hidden room.

RETREAT & WELLNESS | Cabin | Named after the Finnish word for "candle," the Kynttilä cabin by ORTRAUM Architects is a tiny, sustainable meditation retreat located on a narrow, forested peninsula in eastern Finland. Sited on Lake Saimaa, near Savonlinna, the 15-square-meter cabin was designed with a Zen philosophy of "nothingness," stripping the design to its bare minimum to create a space for spiritual and visual focus. At night, the illuminated cabin shines on the lake like a warm candle, a key part of its design concept. The cabin was designed to minimize its impact on the protected nature reserve, and the process of building it reflects this commitment. To avoid damaging the forest vegetation, a temporary road was built for a single day to assemble the prefabricated structure. The vegetation was then restored to its original state once the construction was finished. The structure is primarily composed of cross-laminated timber (CLT), which is exposed on the interior to create a warm, minimalist, and natural aesthetic. The exterior is clad in larch boards, allowing the cabin to blend harmoniously with its surroundings. The gabled ends of the cabin feature full-height glazing, maximizing the connection to nature and providing panoramic views of the water on both sides of the peninsula. The interior includes built-in furniture and a sleeping bunk accessed by a ladder, demonstrating an efficient use of the compact space.

RESIDENTIAL | Cottage | Set against the rugged landscape of the Jizera Mountains in the Czech Republic, the Cottage Pod Bukovou by Mjölk architekti is a revitalization of an unfinished 1980s cabin. The project transformed the eccentric, derelict structure into an elegant and bold mountain retreat, consisting of a main cottage and a smaller annexed cabin that houses a sauna and a guest bedroom. The design draws on the atmosphere of the forest environment, where foggy, dreary weather can be "the best" for creating a cozy, contemporary interior. The most striking feature of the renovation is the exterior, where the original gray facade was completely replaced with vertical blackened timber paneling. The dark wood covers both the walls and the A-frame pitched roofs, giving both the main cottage and the sauna cabin a sculptural, abstract appearance where the roof, walls, and chimney merge into a single, unified shape. In contrast to the angular silhouette, some of the windows are cut into round shapes, evoking the feel of an oversized birdhouse. Inside the 85.5-square-meter main cottage, the layout was reorganized for greater efficiency while maintaining the original living space. The interior is simple and functional, with a cozy atmosphere created by the crackling fire in a large fireplace. The sleeping arrangements were changed to accommodate two bedrooms. A larger bedroom is accessed via a concealed staircase within a closet, while a second, smaller one is reached by a ladder from the kitchen. The architects also created a unique "sleeping window," a deep, cushioned alcove opposite the fireplace where an unexpected guest can sleep comfortably. The interior warmth is complemented by the materials, with the black wood finish extending to the ceilings of the main room. The project includes a 21-square-meter annexed cabin with a sauna and a guest bedroom, providing a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the forest views.

RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | Designed by Yemail Arquitectura, Punta Casitas Cabin 1 is a remote mountain retreat situated at 3015 meters above sea level within the rocky ridges of Lake Tota in Colombia. Completed in 2022, the 549-square-foot cabin was conceived as a shelter that evokes the history of primitive human dwellings while blending seamlessly with its mystical, rugged environment. Inspired by naval architecture, the design features a compact, three-story volume that maximizes space through a vertical distribution of functions. The exterior is clad in yellow pine wood with an amber hue, which is contrasted by a canopy of dark clay tiles supported by large eaves. These materials were chosen to resonate with the surrounding landscape and to reflect the effects of time and weather. Inside, the material palette is warm and natural, with exposed wood complemented by woven rugs, clay lamps, and visible pipes and mechanisms. The layout unfolds over three levels, featuring an open-plan kitchen and dining area on the main level and a tatami mat, a suspended desk, and the main bedroom with panoramic views of Lake Tota on the upper levels. A suspended terrace further blurs the lines between indoor and outdoor living. Much of the cabin's artisanal quality comes from local artisans from communities near Lake La Coca, who created custom fixtures like the clay lamps.

RESIDENTIAL | House | The Fremont House is a 1,000-square-foot, 100% solar-powered, off-grid home located in the remote Western Catskill Mountains near Roscoe, New York. Designed by Marc Thorpe Design + Architecture and completed around 2023, the cabin was built as an affordable, sustainable, and contemporary home with integrated technology. The project is based on a philosophy of self-reliance, with the house designed to exist in harmony with nature and emphasize quality over quantity. The house features a compact footprint but incorporates a traditional residential layout, with a division between public and private spaces. The ground floor contains the kitchen, dining, and living areas, while two bedrooms and a bathroom are located on the upper level. The exterior is clad in Douglas fir stained in a charcoal grey color, which aids in heat retention during the region's cool year-round climate. The house was constructed using locally sourced lumber. A rooftop array of 16 solar panels provides all the home's electricity, contributing to its self-sustaining, independent nature. Large windows and a terrace on the upper level help connect the interior with the surrounding forest. Inside, the home has a minimalist aesthetic, with oak flooring, sheetrock walls, and quartz countertops. The furnishings and decor, chosen by Marc Thorpe and his wife, Claire Pijoulat, are simple yet stylish, avoiding distraction from the natural views. The Fremont House stands as a symbol of sustainable architecture and a testament to respectful, ecologically conscious design.

RESIDENTIAL | House | We were challenged to design a structure for CASACOR Minas Gerais that could be dismantled and later reassembled in Lapinha da Serra, where it would be used for accommodation. The constructive reasoning guided the project: we attached two container modules laterally and took advantage of the characteristics of this system, exposing the industrialized construction components without camouflage. In the Lapinha Studio, we concentrated all the hydraulic systems on one wall, creating the infrastructural module. This design strategy reduced costs and freed up the rest of the space. Therefore, the other container serves as a flexible, indeterminate module—a free plane—that, in this edition, houses the furniture of the Lapinha Studio. More than just a physical space, we present an idea—a prototype to be expanded, replicated, and implemented in other contexts. Different arrangements of containers create different spaces for various lives to unfold there. Inside, we aimed to highlight the meeting point between the containers to emphasize the construction system itself. The materials differentiate the infrastructural module from the flexible one. The colors bring the natural landscape of the next location of deployment, Lapinha da Serra, inside this refuge. | https://static.wixstatic.com/media/a0ba0f_e970cd65be614ee494588a7067b7e46b~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1499,h_1000,al_c,q_85/Lapinha%20Studio-plano%20livre%20planolivre-Henrique%20Queiroga%20(1).jpg Please Wait Lapinha Studio-plano livre planolivre-Henrique Queiroga (6).jpg Lapinha Studio-plano livre planolivre-Henrique Queiroga (2).jpg Lapinha Studio-plano livre planolivre-Henrique Queiroga (3).jpg 1/5 0 Product 2.5K Views 0 0 Pin Pin Private Public x Appreciators Appreciated Appreciate Please Log in Lapinha Studio Belo Horizonte, Brazil Architects: plano livre plano livre Architecture Office Brazil Area: Year: City: Client: 30 m² 2021 Belo Horizonte Construction: Category: RESIDENTIAL Project Type: House Post Type: Building Country: Brazil Photographers: Henrique Queiroga the Architects Description: We were challenged to design a structure for CASACOR Minas Gerais that could be dismantled and later reassembled in Lapinha da Serra, where it would be used for accommodation. The constructive reasoning guided the project: we attached two container modules laterally and took advantage of the characteristics of this system, exposing the industrialized construction components without camouflage. In the Lapinha Studio, we concentrated all the hydraulic systems on one wall, creating the infrastructural module. This design strategy reduced costs and freed up the rest of the space.

RESIDENTIAL | Renovation | Located in Biddeford, Maine, the Hills Beach home was a renovation project by architects and builders Woodhull, completed for founder Caleb Johnson's own family. Rather than demolishing the original "beach shack," the team embarked on a thoughtful transformation that respected the structure's origins and the coastal neighborhood. The project revitalized the home with locally sourced materials and handcrafted elements, creating a unique and character-filled home. The small, 850-square-foot footprint required maximizing every detail and space. Inspired by the surrounding landscape, the home features a material palette of natural wood, stone, concrete, and glass. Unpainted plaster was left to highlight the patina of reused materials. Inside, the kitchen became a centerpiece of craftsmanship, built by a master woodworker using joinery-based techniques without plywood or hardware. The house also includes subtle nods to local history, such as a hand-carved mermaid backsplash. Angled windows were strategically placed to frame views of the water, and the compact, energy-efficient design ensures all-day comfort.
