RESIDENTIAL | House | To try to summarise this house is virtually impossible. Walking into the space for the first time is difficult to describe. It feels ancient and modern at the same time. The references are so varied, "it feels like a church, a castle, a railway arch, a middle eastern grain store". The commissioning client was inspired by a 19th-century ammunition bunker he once saw in Romania built of raw brick with arches. The architect references work by Le Corbusier in India. However, it is distinctly a singular design. The key architectural feature is the parabolic vaulted ceiling, a self-supporting structure made of recycled bricks having a 3.5m long by 2.5m wide elliptical retractable skylight that is unglazed and tilted 20 degrees to the south to gaze at the stars. Finding the location of the skylight in an unusual soaring roof, 7.5m at its apex. It is a parabolic vault, a self-supporting structure made of recycled bricks, many of which were picked by Mr. Borun. Diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, Basil was wheelchair bound and therefore the design has to be truly accessible. It took trial and error to find the right size and spot for the skylight so Mr. Borun could see his favorite constellations in the Milky Way, including Pavo. Peter Stutchbury Architecture’s project designer Fernanda Cabral and builder Mark Tan held cut-outs of prototypes of the skylight up against the sky until Mr. Borun was satisfied. The wheelchair had a tolerance of 10mm, therefore no step could be larger than 10mm. The house was designed so Mr. Borun could go from his car to anywhere in his house with a single turn of the wheelchair. The rooms were designed off a long, wide hallway with sliding doors. Built of bricks, recycled when an apartment building in western Sydney was demolished. The vaulted room is reminiscent of a cathedral yet feels embracing and welcoming rather than imposing. And of a domestic scale, albeit an extraordinarily voluminous one. Mr. Stutchbury said rarely was a project more considerate of the night than day. “We have put skylights in a building but not in such a prophetic and highly considered way.” The Sustainability features include: Designed to last beyond 120 years. 48 photovoltaic panels. 15.5 kW of power gen, 34 kW of storage. Electric vehicle charging x2. 60,000 liters filtered rainwater tank. Evacuated tubes for solar hot water. Hydronic in-floor heating. Low-toxic finishes and fittings. Low-energy lighting. Low-water gardens. Recycled double-brick and insulated walls provide thermal mass to absorb and release heat. The oculus is central to the dwelling’s passive heating and cooling system, enabling two-way ventilation. | https://static.wixstatic.com/media/a02f20_940860a4234b49c3896a0ff257f7c169~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_2000,h_1500,al_c,q_90/Night%20Sky%20House-%20Peter%20Stutchbury%20Architecture-Photographs-Brett%20Boardman%20(25).jpg 1/0 Private Public Pin Pin 0 x Appreciators 0 3D models Product 2.7K Views 0 Appreciated Appreciate Please login to appreciate Night Sky House Blackheath NSW 2785, Australia peterstutchbury.com.au Source: Published on Sep 16, 2024 by: Architectural Designer Markitekt Premium Member More Buildings from Australia Facts: Up Up Architecture Office Peter Stutchbury Architecture Australia Category: RESIDENTIAL House Project Type: Post Type: Building Country: Australia Brett Boardman Photographers: Architects: Peter Stutchbury Architecture Area: 158 m² Year: 2020 City: Blackheath Construction: Client - Description: the Architects Text description by To try to summarise this house is virtually impossible.

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

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.

HOSPITALITY | Studio | The Atelier Nyp is a sustainable artist's studio and guesthouse designed by Studio Bua on the site of a former sheep shed in remote western Iceland. Completed in 2023, the cabin was built on the repurposed concrete foundation of the original structure, which had been destroyed by extreme weather. This approach minimized the project's environmental impact and maximized existing resources, both material and cultural. Located in Skarðsströnd, the cabin is part of a broader development by Studio Bua of former farm buildings into a home, cultural spaces, and additional guesthouses. The project is named after the Nypurhyrna mountain that rises up from behind it. The cabin features a deliberately simple, jet-black corrugated steel exterior that references the local vernacular and protects against the harsh Icelandic weather. Its off-center pitched roof echoes the distinctive shape of one of the area's dominant mountain peaks. The interior features exposed cross-laminated timber (CLT) walls, which create a warm and cozy atmosphere. The space is divided into two independent units: a workspace with living quarters for the artist and her husband, and a self-contained mini-apartment for guests. Salvaged materials were incorporated throughout the project, including a staircase from a historic Reykjavík building and kitchen units from a 1950s apartment.

RESIDENTIAL | Cottage | The Small Vacation Cottages u Gai are a pair of small summer houses located on a steep hillside in Radomice, Poland, with panoramic views of the Karkonosze Mountains. Designed by Polish firm SAN Architektura, the project was inspired by a nearby closed quarry and a desire to reflect the natural landscape. The cottages are designed to look like freely scattered, hewn boulders on the slope, with plans for a third, larger building—a single-family home for the owners—to be added in the future. The design of the 81-square-meter cottages is both simple and strategic. Built on square plans, they feature a ground-floor living area with a kitchenette, a bathroom, and a dressing room. A mezzanine bedroom on a diagonal to the main floor is aligned with the roofline to create a sense of height and maximize usable space. The interiors emphasize the views, with large, 4.5-meter-wide panoramic windows framing the mountain landscape. The construction and materials were chosen to harmonize with the wild surroundings. The structures were built using the HBE glued timber system, eliminating the need for additional interior wall finishes. The exterior is clad in Siberian larch, which was left untreated to allow it to patinate naturally under the sun's UV rays, helping the cottages blend into the landscape. The base of each cottage is finished with hewn stone, referencing the nearby quarry and grounding the structures to the site. The cottages are slightly elevated from their stone plinths, creating the impression that they are levitating over the slope. This design choice not only enhances the visual effect but also brings occupants closer to the surrounding nature, as bushes seen from the living room resemble treetops. To preserve the natural, wild character of the plot, the architects opted for unpaved paths using aggregate from the local area and avoided adding fences.

COMMERCIAL | Automotive experience center | One of the central design ideas for the new BMW building was to expand the existing configuration of the BMW Tower and Museum with an additional element to create a spatial, ideal and identity-forming architectural ensemble. The design proposal by Coop Himmelb(l)au consists of a large transparent hall with a sculptural roof and a double cone, informed by the relation to the existing company headquarters building. BMW Welt is composed of five thematic blocks: Hall, Premiere, Forum, Gastronomy and Double Cone. The technical solutions used for BMW Welt are based on the office’s previous experiences with large halls, and involve a fusion of low-tech and high-tech approaches. In the Hall, specific lighting, whether natural or artificial, ambient climate and acoustics provide people with a feeling of well-being. The underlying concept for the technological building systems integrates these parameters in an interdependent manner, adapting their range of influence by way of controlled mechanisms. A major goal in designing the systems is to save energy, which is achieved by minimizing the mechanical apparatus for ventilation, heating and cooling. The gigantic Hall is thus conceived as a solar-heated, naturally-ventilated subclimatic area, a multifunctional space that does not follow the otherwise customary requirements for heating and ventilation. Natural air supply is generated through thermal currents, wind pressure and turbulence as air accumulates within the façade and roof projection, where automatically-controlled vents allow for air intake and outflow. This natural ventilation system provides sufficient fresh air to the Hall. A 3D simulation of thermal currents and air streams was conducted to investigate the spread of exhaust fumes from cars driven on the Premiere level. Iterative calculations were then carried out to optimize the placement of air intake and outflow vents for natural air exchange so that the CO2 remains below the permitted threshold value of around 10%. The key task of the new BMW Welt is to deliver cars. In the Premiere section, everything is geared towards enhancing the experience of delivery. Because of the exhaust gases that this involves, special considerations and calculations had to be made for ventilation since the Premiere is open to the Hall, the major space in this world of experience. Beyond merely fine-tuning the volume of air intake and outflow currents, it was necessary to directly extract the exhaust fumes and pump-in fresh air. Planning here was based on an assumed turnover of 40 cars per hour or 250 cars per day. The Forum is a building within the building, designed to host events with maximum flexibility. This volume capable of receiving up to 1,200 persons is equipped to meet all the specifications for a full-fledged theater or conference room. The ventilation and soundproofing technologies used to guarantee optimal comfort – a challenge considering its location in the middle of other functional areas. The great quantity of technical equipment is integrated in such a way as to have its own presence in the space. Air is supplied laterally via air jets and is extracted through the ceiling as exhaust air. Based on the number of people in the room, infinite adjustment of the required air volume is possible. An event space offering all the options of a public assembly place. The Double Cone is used as an exhibition space and for special events. Air is brought in by means of a low-induction system placed along the base of the façade and then flows into the roof through openings located at the top of the cone. Floor air conditioning and air circulation coolers present in the wall and floor areas ensure the necessary comfort level. During spring and autumn, natural ventilation via façade shutters is used. The structural design of BMW Welt represented a special challenge as to determining how to conduct supply lines. Because of the vast support-free space, which is borne by only 11 columns plus the elevator shafts, the supply cross-sections for the Lounge floors and the Gastronomy tower had to be integrated into the few supporting core cross-sections. | https://static.wixstatic.com/media/9756fd_5da3bd49293649dfa875b54891596bee~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1800,h_1270,al_c,q_90/BMW%20Welt%20in%20Munich%20(4).jpg Out of gallery 1/0 Out of gallery Private Public Pin Pin 0 x Appreciators 0 3D models Product 3.9K Views 0 Appreciated Appreciate Please login to appreciate BMW Welt Am Olympiapark 1, 80809 München, Germany coop-himmelblau.at Source: Published on Oct 3, 2023 by: CG artist Carl Hecht Premium Member More Buildings from Germany Facts: Up Up Architecture Office Coop Himmelb(l)au Austria Category: COMMERCIAL Automotive experience center Project Type: Post Type: Building Country: Germany Marcus Buck Photographers: Architects: Coop Himmelb(l)au Area: 73,000 m² Year: 2007 City: Munich Construction: Client BMW AG Description: the architects Text description by One of the central design ideas for the new BMW building was to expand the existing configuration of the BMW Tower and Museum with an additional element to create a spatial, ideal and identity-forming architectural ensemble.

COMMERCIAL | Mixed-use | The World Trade Centre in San Marino fuses many major themes in Foster + Partners’ architecture, in particular the creation of a new public realm, urban regeneration and the long-term environmental benefits from mixed-use developments with built-in flexibility. The World Trade Centre in San Marino will provide living and working accommodation for the local population, but more importantly will create an exciting new public space served by shops, restaurants and cafes. It is more than a single building – it is a catalyst for urban regeneration. Adaptability is vital to the future of our cities. Working patterns have become much more flexible over the last two decades. In response to technological developments, working patterns will no doubt continue to change. We cannot predict the precise nature of these developments, but we can build flexibility into the structure of buildings so that they can continue to be useful as circumstances alter. This is the case with the World Trade Centre in San Marino. This project takes the mixed-use proposition to its logical conclusion – it not only combines apartments, offices, shops and restaurants within the same building, but provides a structure that allows individual units to be easily adapted from offices to apartments should the need arise in the future. The development also provides another public amenity – a much-needed car park to serve not only the development itself, but also the broader local community. No-one wants to look out from the new building and see an ocean of cars, and so the car park has been integrated within the site, partially buried. A concern for the physical context has produced a solution that is sensitive to the culture and climate of their place. Drawing upon the vernacular traditions of this wine-growing region we have created a pergola – or plant-covered roof trellis – covering the car park, providing both natural shading for the cars and an attractive visual shield. A building cannot be viewed in isolation but must be seen as part of the larger urban context. With its combination of office space, apartments and leisure facilities, the World Trade Centre in San Marino will create a new public focus within the city and will act as a magnet for future development. The World Trade Centre building will become a modern iconic beacon for the area and a symbol of San Marino’s investment in its economic future. | https://static.wixstatic.com/media/9756fd_12011a597c164cf4971b37d434c3f9dd~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_2000,h_2000,al_c,q_90/World%20Trade%20Center%20San%20Marino%20(1).jfif 1/0 Private Public Pin Pin 0 x Appreciators 0 3D models Product 2.9K Views 0 Appreciated Appreciate Please login to appreciate World Trade Center San Marino Via Consiglio dei Sessanta, 99, Dogana, San Marino fosterandpartners.com Source: Published on Sep 26, 2023 by: Civil Engineer Rosa Garcia Premium Member More Buildings from Italy Facts: Up Up Architecture Office Foster + Partners United Kingdom Category: COMMERCIAL Mixed-use Project Type: Post Type: Building Country: Italy Photographers: Architects: Foster + Partners Area: 47,000 m2 Year: 2004 City: San Marino Construction: Laing O'Rourke Client Gruppo Gecos.

This project takes the mixed-use proposition to its logical conclusion – it not only combines apartments, offices, shops and restaurants within the same building, but provides a structure that allows individual units to be easily adapted from offices to apartments should the need arise in the future. The development also provides another public amenity – a much-needed car park to serve not only the development itself, but also the broader local community. No-one wants to look out from the new building and see an ocean of cars, and so the car park has been integrated within the site, partially buried. A concern for the physical context has produced a solution that is sensitive to the culture and climate of their place. Drawing upon the vernacular traditions of this wine-growing region we have created a pergola – or plant-covered roof trellis – covering the car park, providing both natural shading for the cars and an attractive visual shield. A building cannot be viewed in isolation but must be seen as part of the larger urban context. With its combination of office space, apartments and leisure facilities, the World Trade Centre in San Marino will create a new public focus within the city and will act as a magnet for future development. The World Trade Centre building will become a modern iconic beacon for the area and a symbol of San Marino’s investment in its economic future.

RESIDENTIAL | House | An imaginative solution to the common urban challenge of limited space, The Perch by Nicole Blair is a 660-square-foot studio ingeniously built directly above an existing bungalow in Austin, Texas. The clients, who include a hairstylist and a landscape designer, sought to add flexible living space without sacrificing their beloved backyard garden. Architect Nicole Blair's design, completed in 2022, is a floating structure supported by four steel columns that pierce the bungalow's walls, minimizing site disruption. The steel frame was prefabricated off-site and craned into place in a single day, which allowed the homeowners to remain in their residence during construction. Aptly named for its elevated position, The Perch adds a layer of densification while honoring the existing home's scale and setting. The exterior is clad in durable, low-maintenance weathering steel and corrugated metal, echoing the angular, asymmetrical roofline and the original bungalow's steel elements. This material choice offers a bold, utilitarian aesthetic that will naturally evolve over time. The interior, however, provides a warm, tranquil contrast with its playful color palette of pale wood, white-washed pine, and blush cabinetry. The design maximizes the compact volume by incorporating vaulted ceilings and split-level floors, giving the impression of expansive space. The Perch is designed to be a deeply sensory experience. Subtle movement in the building's structure, felt on the steel staircase and the cantilevered front room, provides a gentle reminder of wind and gravity, connecting the inhabitants to their physical environment. Custom details reinforce this connection, such as a swaying steel coatrack and bent rebar elements that reference the landscape designer owner's yard. The multi-purpose space includes a secluded bedroom overlooking the garden and a dedicated salon for the hairstylist owner, demonstrating its adaptability and long-term value.

RESIDENTIAL | House | Architects Johanna and Gregor Schuberth of Schuberth und Schuberth designed the Summer Cottage Pötzleinsdorf as a vibrant and practical retreat for a young family. Completed in 2019, the small house is situated on a hillside plot at the edge of the Vienna Woods, within the distinct allotment garden settlement of Pötzleinsdorf. Rather than conforming to the varied and often chaotic architectural styles of its neighbors, the design offers a creative commentary by arranging three varying cubes into a spatial collage. These cubes are distinct on the exterior, combining materials like classic larch wood and corrugated metal with different colors and finishes. The interior of the cottage, however, unites these varied volumes into a single, cohesive space, maximizing the use of its limited 50 square meters. The design is a triumph of function over convention, allowing for cooking, reading, working, and sleeping to occur in a seamless spatial flow, unconstrained by traditional room definitions. The material palette for the interior is deliberately modest, featuring three-layer wood panels for the walls, linoleum flooring, and upholstered foam cubes that double as a sofa. This simplicity is contrasted by a vivid and playful color concept that energizes the internal space. While the exterior is characterized by natural and more subdued tones, the interior is a dynamic mix of hot orange-red and cool green-blue, complemented by accent colors like coral and light blue. The final effect is a home that joyfully captures the spirit of creating a small, personal kingdom within a larger community. The design has received notable recognition, including an award at the wienwood 21 competition.

RESIDENTIAL | House | La Quimera House is a single-family vacation home in Coyhaique, Chilean Patagonia, designed by the Chilean studio Ruca Proyectos. The project is situated within a forest just outside the city, overlooking the Simpson River and the Mackay hill. Its architecture is rooted in the traditional constructions of Southern Chile, which are adapted to withstand the region's harsh climate of frequent snow, rain, and cold. The house was designed with a pure, simple volume and built with local materials to accommodate a tight budget and limited local labor and technology. To protect the structure from ground moisture and cold, the house is elevated on wooden piles. Its exterior is sheathed in black zinc sheets, providing a hermetic shield against the arduous weather. In contrast, the interior is clad entirely in grooved pine plywood, creating a warm, cozy, and rustic atmosphere. The house is strategically designed to maximize its connection with the surrounding nature. It is more enclosed toward the access, but the side facing the views opens up completely through large windows that lead to a generous wooden deck. The main floor features an open living space that includes the main living room, an open kitchen, six built-in bunk beds, a guest bathroom, and a suite. A second level offers a wide open floor plan with a balcony overlooking the scenery. A staircase also doubles as an interior resting space and provides access to the terrace.

HOSPITALITY | Cabin | Niliaitta is a prototype cabin designed by Studio Puisto Architects for the Kivijärvi Resort near Finland's Salamajärvi National Park. Completed in 2020, the cabin is part of a larger, ecologically sensitive tourism project that will eventually feature up to 50 unique dwelling units, as well as a sauna and conference center. The design is a modern interpretation of the traditional niliaitta, an elevated wooden hut historically used by the indigenous Sámi people to store food and other items away from bears and other wild animals. Niliaitta was conceived as a secluded, "bear-cache" for humans, providing a retreat from the chaos of modern life. The cabin is elevated on a single, slender concrete-filled steel column, which minimizes its footprint and allows the forest floor to remain undisturbed. The exterior is clad in black-toned pine, allowing the structure to blend with the surrounding trees, while the interior is lined with warm, light-toned wood. The 30-square-meter cabin features a minimalist and cozy interior, with all utility spaces—including a kitchenette, spacious shower, and building systems—cleverly contained within a central core. The central core design allows the living space to remain open and uncluttered, drawing attention to a full-height window that frames views of the surrounding nature. The interior also features wood surfaces and eco-wool insulation, with plastic avoided in the structure. A linear staircase provides access to the elevated cabin, creating a transition from the wild outdoors to a secure and tranquil retreat.

HOSPITALITY | Hut | A unique lodging concept designed by architect Tom Kundig of Olson Kundig, the Rolling Huts are a series of six mobile, prefabricated cabins located in a flood plain meadow in Washington's Methow Valley. Conceived as a modern and low-impact alternative to camping, the huts were designed for a client who wanted to provide guest accommodations on the site of a former RV campground while allowing the landscape to return to its natural state. The cabins sit on oversized steel wheels, a creative solution to local zoning regulations that prohibited permanent structures but permitted RVs. This wheeled foundation elevates the huts a short distance above the meadow, allowing native grasses to grow underneath and minimizing the human footprint on the sensitive environment. The 200-square-foot cabins, completed in 2008, are essentially minimalist, steel-clad boxes on a steel and wood platform. Large, double-paned sliding glass doors at one end of each hut open onto a covered deck, extending the usable space into the outdoors. Inside, the material palette is simple, raw, and inexpensive, featuring cork and plywood left as natural as possible. A lopsided, inverted V-shaped roof with clerestory windows floats above the walls, bringing ample natural light into the compact interior. While the cabins offer a warm, sheltered, and low-tech space, showers and other communal facilities are located in a central barn, reinforcing the project's connection to camping.

The 750-square-foot cabin was designed by Tom Kundig of Olson Kundig for a family that has owned land in the area for generations. The compact, vertical design was intended to foster intimacy and connection, both with each other and with the surrounding forests of central Vermont. The cabin’s material palette is an elemental mix of steel, wood, and concrete, chosen to reflect the character of the wilderness. The exterior features panels of weathering steel, while the interior showcases exposed timber and poured concrete. This rugged, utilitarian aesthetic is balanced by the warmth of natural materials and strategic use of glazing. The layout places the main living spaces on the top floor to maximize views of the surrounding landscape, including the Green Mountains and Worcester Range. Large windows open up the living area, allowing residents to feel a sense of being among the trees. The vertical arrangement of the cabin’s 2,250 square feet is divided across three levels connected by a maple and steel staircase. The lowest level is nestled into the hillside and contains a garage that can double as a game room, as well as a single bedroom and powder room. The middle level includes two additional bedrooms and a bathroom, while the top floor features the main living area, kitchen, and dining space. This design creates a cozy and efficient framework for family life while maintaining a strong visual connection to the wilderness.

RESIDENTIAL | House | The Ogimachi House is a minimalist residential retreat in Nagoya, Japan, designed by Tomoaki Uno Architects and completed in 2019. The house was commissioned by a client for his mother, who needed a secluded and peaceful space to recover from an illness. To create a quiet, therapeutic environment that ensures privacy, the architects constructed a windowless cubic volume on a narrow lot, drawing light and air instead from the ceiling. The exterior is defined by a traditional Japanese approach to construction, with cedar siding joined without nails, a technique known as itakura. This method, originally used for storehouses, provides excellent fire resistance and thermal insulation. The interior continues the minimalist aesthetic with a stripped-back material palette centered on natural cypress and cedar woods. Natural light enters through 37 skylights—32 fixed and 5 operable—which cast dynamic, moving shadows on the wooden surfaces throughout the day. The interior is a minimalist and uncluttered space, with bespoke essential furniture and soothing neutral hues. The layout consists of a grid-like central area surrounded by a double-height corridor. The ground floor features open-plan living, dining, and kitchen areas, along with a bedroom, toilet, and washroom. A winding staircase leads to the upper floor, which contains four more private rooms, a small bridge, and a linear balcony. This design balances the need for privacy and solitude with an open flow that encourages tranquility and well-being, creating a space for reflection and recovery.
