HOSPITALITY | Modular House | The Nomad Houses are a cluster of eco-friendly, modern modular homes designed by ZROBIM Architects as part of the BY HOME modular housing ecosystem. Completed in 2023, the homes function as a glamping-style eco-hotel and are situated in the Braslav Lakes National Park in Belarus. The project was developed to promote domestic tourism by creating stylish, modern architecture that complements the region's pristine natural landscape, known for its glacial lakes and relict forests. The architectural design is characterized by Scandinavian minimalism, focusing on modularity, natural materials, panoramic glazing, and expansive terraces. The homes come in several types—including Camp B, Camp C, Camp C Flat, and a SPA module—varying in size from 17 to 55 square meters to accommodate different group sizes. The modular system allows for flexible expansion over time, enabling the complex to grow with demand. The exterior features a "total black" aesthetic, with facades and terraces finished in charcoal-black wood and corrugated roofing in the same shade, allowing the buildings to blend seamlessly with the surrounding pine forest. The interior continues the minimalist theme, using a natural color palette of wood, white, and anthracite accents. This design choice provides a serene and uncluttered environment, shifting focus from the interior to the natural beauty outside. Each house offers comfort and functionality, with Camp B, for example, including a living area, kitchen, bathroom, and a built-in sauna. Some larger models, like Camp C, feature a wood-burning stove and a separate seating area. The complex also includes a separate spa building with a panoramic sauna and a wood-fired plunge pool.

RESIDENTIAL | House | At his residence overlooking Puget Sound, architect James Cutler, a principal at Cutler Anderson Architects, has designed a compact outbuilding that functions as both a creative studio and a gathering space for his daughter and her friends. This unique structure, known as the Studio/Bunkhouse, is located on an island near Seattle. Cutler's vision was to create a modest retreat that would serve dual purposes: a workspace for himself and a fun hangout spot for his youngest daughter during sleepovers. To make room for the new cabin, an old tool shed was demolished. The results are impressive, as the tiny cabin spans just 80 square feet (7.4 square meters). Collaborating with his 12-year-old daughter – his older children having already entered adulthood – Cutler undertook the task of pouring the ready-mix concrete foundation together and constructing the framing from rough-sawn Douglas fir sourced from a nearby sawmill. In designing the cabin, Cutler ensured that the building envelope included rigid insulation, while the exterior walls are adorned with Corten steel shingles, purposefully chosen to complement the surrounding madrone and cedar trees. These shingles were custom-cut and secured using K-lath screws. A highlight of the studio is its west-facing wall, which features a generous expanse of glass that frames sweeping views of the stunning landscape. Overhead, a sloped roof with a deep eave shields the glazed wall from adverse weather conditions. From the main house, a 30-foot (nine-meter) pathway leads to this charming cabin. Inside, the single-room layout showcases exposed timber framing, wooden flooring, and shiplap wall panels. The multifunctional space cleverly accommodates a fold-up bed and desk, both custom-built by a local woodworker. The design incorporates two bunk beds that can fold up on traction struts for the girls, along with a folding desk for dad, allowing the building to be used in versatile ways. When everything is folded against the walls, it transforms into a poker room for dad. For warmth, a highly efficient cast-iron wood stove provides heat, consuming just two blocks of wood throughout a winter night. Additionally, to ensure functionality during power outages, Cutler installed 4.5 kilowatts of batteries and an inverter, which are cleverly concealed behind rolling file cabinets. A small refrigerator powered by batteries is discreetly located under the stove. | https://static.wixstatic.com/media/a0ba0f_5d06be1988ed4a599ee7ac0f73dfad68~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1080,h_1345,al_c,q_85/Cutler%20Anderson%20Architects%20(1).jpg Please Wait Cutler Anderson Architects (2).jpg Cutler Anderson Architects (3).jpg Cutler Anderson Architects (4).jpg 1/4 0 Product 3.0K Views 0 0 Pin Pin Private Public x Appreciators Appreciated Appreciate Please Log in Studio-Bunkhouse Bainbridge Island, WA, USA Architects: Cutler Anderson Architects Cutler Anderson Architects Architecture Office United States Area: Year: City: Client: 7.4 m² 2016 Bainbridge Island Construction: Category: RESIDENTIAL Project Type: House Post Type: Building Country: United States Photographers: Art Grice the Architects Description: At his residence overlooking Puget Sound, architect James Cutler, a principal at Cutler Anderson Architects, has designed a compact outbuilding that functions as both a creative studio and a gathering space for his daughter and her friends.

RESIDENTIAL | House | Baan Noi Doi Hang, designed by IS Architects with Pawin Tharatjai as the lead architect, is a small, work-from-home oriented residence nestled in the serene highlands of Doi Hang, Chiang Rai, Thailand. Completed in 2023 for clients Khun Thidarut Limyothin and her family, the house serves as a tranquil escape from urban life, allowing the Bangkok natives to fully embrace a more peaceful lifestyle. The design is a testament to the idea that less is more, with every square inch of the modest house serving a deliberate purpose. It is carefully planned to coexist with its natural surroundings, harmonizing with the lush greenery and distant mountain views. The architecture embraces simplicity through its use of materials, building forms, and spatial organization, creating a humble abode that seamlessly integrates with the highlands region. Inside, the house features a minimalist layout designed to comfortably accommodate two people, equipped with a bedroom, a workspace, and a kitchenette with a coffee bar. The interior spaces are organized to maximize functionality and flow, reflecting the homeowners' desire for a simplified living experience. Outside, the house extends its living area with outdoor spaces for relaxation and al fresco dining and cooking. The design balances private and communal spaces, ensuring that residents can enjoy solitude while still feeling connected to the surrounding environment.

COMMERCIAL | Mixed-use development | A lively, mixed-use, vertical city that was more than a tower, a new city form for urban life, work, and leisure. It created an exciting mix of workspaces, hotel accommodation, restaurants, bars, and shopping in a unique tower crowned with apartment living. Located in the heart of Melbourne’s primary arts and entertainment district, Beulah Propeller City was designed as a recognizable architectural landmark that redefined the residential, commercial, retail, and public open-space environments of Melbourne. The proposed building, with its dramatic silhouette, reflected the vitality and creativity of the city and was designed as a destination for local, national, and international visitors. The vision for Beluah Propeller City was the creation of a vertical city composed of multiple functions intertwined in a fluid gesture of vertically linked public spaces. The ​“Gestalt” of the structural, material, and functional components of the design was designed to create a memorable and unmistakable icon in the cityscape. The design of the building form was approached as an artist would a sculpture. The maximum possible building envelope was the starting block; the client’s brief, planning regulations, the existing urban form, climate, and views to and from the site were considerations that prompted the specific carves and manipulations to reveal the dynamic urban figure within. Within the interstices of the main building elements free spaces are created: atria, terraces, community facilities, and amenity spaces such as recreational and public areas for leisure, pleasure, and circulation. These spaces provide orientation and navigation for people living there, at the same time enabling personal interaction resulting in community formation. The result of this approach is a unified composition of identifiable building elements comprising low, mid, and high-rise volumes created by dividing the program of the building into its four main functional parts as public podium, office, hotel, and apartment tower. Through the design of the external primary structure, the internal construction elements are optimized and reduced thereby enabling maximum flexibility for current uses as well as future adaptability, which is a primary expression of architectural design. Formal decomposition articulating the various programmatic components defined the new high-rise typology and ultimately served to make each functional element feel more intimate. | https://static.wixstatic.com/media/9756fd_e3f4251a98214705b7864c9af9b9933d~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1200,h_750,al_c,q_85/Beulah%20Propeller%20City%20(2).jpg 1/0 Private Public Pin Pin 0 x Appreciators 0 3D models Product 4.0K Views 0 Appreciated Appreciate Please login to appreciate Beulah Propeller City 675 Punt Road, South Yarra VIC 3141, Australia coop-himmelblau.at Source: Published on Oct 3, 2023 by: Architectural Designer Grace Lee Premium Member More Buildings from Australia Facts: Up Up Architecture Office Coop Himmelb(l)au Austria Category: COMMERCIAL Mixed-use development Project Type: Post Type: Building Country: Australia Coop Himmelblau / k18.at Photographers: Architects: Coop Himmelb(l)au Area: 5652 m² Year: 2019 City: Melbourne Construction: Client Beulah International Description: the architects Text description by A lively, mixed-use, vertical city that was more than a tower, a new city form for urban life, work, and leisure.

RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | The Soorts Cabin, designed by formalocal, is an extension to an existing house in Soorts-Hossegor, France, completed in 2023. Situated in a garden with pine and cork oak trees, the 43-square-meter cabin was conceived as a detached bedroom raised on stilts. This elevated position and the construction method were chosen to minimize the environmental impact on the existing vegetation and soil. The structure was built using glued laminated timber frames and screw piles, allowing for a lightweight and non-invasive foundation. This approach facilitated construction with minimal disturbance to the natural surroundings. The cabin is part of a larger project, which also included a renovation of the main Soorts House, reflecting a sensitive, site-specific approach to architecture. The design creates a harmonious relationship between the new structure and the natural landscape, offering a secluded and elevated living space among the trees.

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.

RESIDENTIAL | Hut | The Ljungdalen mountain hut, completed in 2014 by Lowén Widman Arkitekter, is a modern reinterpretation of traditional timber-framed houses typical of Sweden's Härjedalen region. Situated in the small village of Ljungdalen, where forest meets high mountains, the holiday home was designed for the Widman family to serve as a year-round retreat for a large family or several smaller ones over generations. The design aimed for the house to blend into the landscape with the same unassuming presence as a barn or a storeroom, establishing itself as a natural part of the cultural surroundings. Built on a hilly plot overlooking the Ljungan river and surrounded by mountains on three sides, the building's long and narrow form (4.2 by 19.2 meters) follows the terrain's contours, positioning it to shield against harsh northern and western winds.

Situated in the small village of Ljungdalen, where forest meets high mountains, the holiday home was designed for the Widman family to serve as a year-round retreat for a large family or several smaller ones over generations. The design aimed for the house to blend into the landscape with the same unassuming presence as a barn or a storeroom, establishing itself as a natural part of the cultural surroundings. Built on a hilly plot overlooking the Ljungan river and surrounded by mountains on three sides, the building's long and narrow form (4.2 by 19.2 meters) follows the terrain's contours, positioning it to shield against harsh northern and western winds. This creates a sheltered, sun-filled spot on the southwest side for outdoor relaxation. The structure features a framework of solid wood from Isotimber, a locally manufactured material that is a natural refinement of traditional timber construction.

RESIDENTIAL | House | Jelovac House, more formally known as Chalet Jelovac, is a multi-purpose family house completed in 2017 in Kolašin, Montenegro, and designed by Studio Synthesis Architecture & Design. Situated in the sensitive landscape near Park Forest in Dulovine Village at an altitude of 1000 meters, the home is a sustainable and resilient interpretation of a traditional mountain chalet, intended for year-round use. It serves as a holiday home for the architect's family, as well as a location for research and architectural workshops. The design is a response to the location's specific characteristics, including its lush forest and extreme weather conditions. The architectural concept blends traditional forms with modern design, and the structure is integrated into its surroundings with a compact form and a black roof. The exterior is clad in "lučevine" wood, which is locally sourced and was treated to withstand the elements. One of the most notable features is the use of adaptable shutters that, when closed, make the building resemble a "haystack" in winter, improving its thermal efficiency. The 300-square-meter house is designed across four levels, providing a dynamic mix of functions. Large glazed surfaces connect the indoor and outdoor spaces, framing views of the landscape, while the interior is filled with natural light. The basement and attic are dedicated to creative and research activities, while the ground floor contains the main living areas, including a living room, kitchen, and dining area. The upper floor features additional themed rooms with framed views. The chalet is also energy-efficient, with thick timber and aluminum walls and a sophisticated heating and cooling system.

RESIDENTIAL | House | Completed in 2023, the 1600-square-foot Telescope House is a retreat in the high-desert landscape of Sedona, Arizona, designed by Phoenix-based Wendell Burnette Architects. The house was commissioned by clients who, after visiting the area for decades, wanted a low-impact home that would serve as a seasonal retreat, a short-term rental, and eventually, their full-time residence. The house's design is inspired by the metaphor of a "land-based telescope" that frames specific views of the dramatic desert landscape. Situated on a gently sloping site on the footprint of a former building, the house is intentionally understated. The rectangular form is nestled between two rows of centuries-old Juniper trees that frame views of the iconic Cathedral Rock and Munds Mountain. Clad in weathering Corten steel and with steel-plate window frames, the exterior helps the building recede into the landscape like a "dark shadow," particularly at night, and offers excellent fire resistance. The interiors are designed as a "welcome respite for the eyes in the desert," with a minimalist, dark-toned palette. The floors, walls, ceilings, doors, and cabinets are crafted from FSC-certified recycled wood-dust panels impregnated with a dark pigment, then waxed and buffed. A telescopic central hall, with interior surfaces that step up and out, subtly directs attention toward the panoramic east-facing view. This layout connects the more private, cabinet-like bedroom and bathroom areas on the south to the main living, kitchen, and dining spaces at the east end. The house also incorporates sustainable features, including strategically shaded windows for passive solar heating in the winter, operable windows for cross ventilation, and the potential for a future photovoltaic array. A planned water-harvesting tank will further increase the home's self-sufficiency.

RESIDENTIAL | House | The House on the Pond, or Maison sur l'Étang in French, is a secondary dwelling designed by Montreal-based Atelier Échelle. Located in the rural municipality of Austin in Québec, Canada, the project was completed in 2023. Created to complement the client's ancestral home on the same property, the house was envisioned as a compact yet versatile "jewel box" with a strong connection to its natural surroundings. The design of the 120-square-meter house is a modern reinterpretation of traditional Québec agrarian architecture. Atelier Échelle successfully navigated tight local building regulations, which capped the floor area, by maximizing covered terraces and creating a flexible interior layout. The house is elevated on an insulated concrete block foundation, with a lower level carved into the ground, and a mezzanine level built into the gabled roof. This design allows the building to adapt to the seasons, with expanded outdoor spaces in favorable weather and a cozy, protected interior during winter. The interior spaces are characterized by warmth, timelessness, and a connection to nature. A double-height living room on the main level is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and large windows that provide expansive views of the adjacent pond and distant mountains. The kitchen features custom rift-cut white oak millwork and a gold-streaked white quartzite counter. The primary bedroom is located on the mezzanine level, while a children's bunk room is tucked into the subterranean level. The basement also includes a TV lounge and a bathroom. The choice of materials emphasizes durability, sustainability, and a respectful connection to the local environment. The exterior cladding and decks are made of Kebony, a sustainable, modified wood product. The interiors feature rift-cut white oak millwork and unlacquered brass hardware, which will develop a rich patina over time. A soft, putty-colored sandstone is used for the sunken fire pit, complementing the gold-streaked quartzite in the kitchen.

MULTI-FUNCTIONAL | Cabin | Designed by Javier Mera Luna in collaboration with Lesly Villagrán and María Beatriz Moncayo, "Arrachay 01" is a 25-square-meter workspace cabin perched over 4,000 meters above sea level in the Andes Mountains of Ecuador. Completed in 2020, the project was conceived as an auto-commissioned "workation" retreat to challenge new ways of working remotely in a stunning natural setting. The name "Arrachay" is a playful nod to the local Quichua language, combining achachay ("very cold") and arrarray ("very hot," referencing nearby thermal pools) to capture the contrast of the extreme mountain climate. The main architectural challenge was to create efficient insulation in the cold, high-altitude climate without relying on petroleum-based materials, which aligned with the architects' goal for a minimal carbon footprint. To achieve this, the team collaborated with YES Innovation to develop and utilize BIOM, a biosource insulation made from rice fibers. This innovative material repurposes agricultural waste from coastal communities in Ecuador, creating a circular economy. The BIOM insulation was hand-packed into the wooden perimeter structure and treated with a natural fire retardant, ensuring high thermal performance despite wide temperature variations. The use of bulk insulation also helps optimize on-site installation and prevent thermal bridging. The cabin’s timber structure is designed to be flexible and adaptive, blending harmoniously with the cloud-cloaked, mountainous landscape. A large window wall provides a visual connection to the breathtaking natural surroundings. The project embodies a philosophy of incorporating local technology and addressing environmental challenges through small-scale, thoughtful architecture.

Completed in 2020, the project was conceived as an auto-commissioned "workation" retreat to challenge new ways of working remotely in a stunning natural setting. The name "Arrachay" is a playful nod to the local Quichua language, combining achachay ("very cold") and arrarray ("very hot," referencing nearby thermal pools) to capture the contrast of the extreme mountain climate. The main architectural challenge was to create efficient insulation in the cold, high-altitude climate without relying on petroleum-based materials, which aligned with the architects' goal for a minimal carbon footprint. To achieve this, the team collaborated with YES Innovation to develop and utilize BIOM, a biosource insulation made from rice fibers. This innovative material repurposes agricultural waste from coastal communities in Ecuador, creating a circular economy. The BIOM insulation was hand-packed into the wooden perimeter structure and treated with a natural fire retardant, ensuring high thermal performance despite wide temperature variations. The use of bulk insulation also helps optimize on-site installation and prevent thermal bridging.

RESIDENTIAL | House | REPII represents the second part of a project carried out by the Office years ago. On this occasion, the concept of the project consisted of expanding the capacity to receive family or visitors. The word enlargement often assumes a meaning of expanding on the built, expanding a space "stretching" existing limits to conceive new spaces. For us, these new spaces should be conceived as spaces disconnected from the main house, allowing guests to enjoy privacy in intimate moments and thus make the most of contact with nature. The construction of projects in remote sites or with limited access, often affect the natural state of the site, providing materials, control over the work done, among other things. The modular prefabricated construction helps to mitigate these factors, the house is built in a closed environment, away from climatic factors, close to all types of material supply and (usually) near the office or the client and then sent (by truck) to its final resting place semi permanent. Site whose intervention was minimal, where its natural state was minimally altered and thus maintain its natural essence. A grateful landscape. Each module is developed in 518 sq ft. (48 m2) It was designed to house, a single person, a couple or couples, families, friends, cousins, in short, flexible to any inhabitant. The interior is subdivided into 3 defined spaces, but without doors that separate them, allowing to break with a traditional concept of delimiting the interiors and thus emphasize the connection between people. The spaces are defined by two bedrooms, a living room or intermediate space, a kitchenette and a bathroom. The interior measurements were defined by the width of the planks whose lines coincide in all the vertical and horizontal planes of the house. Obtaining a minimum waste of the planks, almost without cuts or adjustments and a homogeneous view of the space. The view towards the landscape, fixed windows that allow a maximum vision with minimum restriction. The perspective causes that when one moves through the interior, it seems to be floating from the ground, without touching it, without getting wet and alien to the cold or the heat. An extreme feeling of Refuge. Refuge + Landscape = Refuge in the Landscape. The North façade, exposed to the sun of the Southern hemisphere, has a series of shutters, almost invisible when closed, which allow controlling the entry of solar light in summer and make the most of it in winter, as well as allowing the sector to be more exposed to establishment.
