RESIDENTIAL | Modular House | Located in Nelson, New Zealand, the Studio House is a 42-square-meter relocatable home designed by architect William Samuels and his partner, Hannah D'Arcy, and completed in 2022. The project was an experimental, hands-on response to New Zealand's housing crisis, with the couple building the home themselves over 18 months on a limited budget. The project demonstrates an affordable and sustainable path to homeownership, prioritizing liveability and a smaller footprint over size. The house is composed of two timber-framed, barrel-vaulted modules placed side-by-side. This modular approach allows the home to be easily disassembled and relocated via a flatbed truck, offering a flexible and "permanently relocatable" living option. Corrugated metal panels clad the exterior, while a barrel-vaulted ceiling brings in natural light through large, curved windows at either end of each module. The interior of the Studio House uses natural materials, including rimu timber cladding on the walls, and contains no paint. The barrel-vaulted ceilings create a sense of spaciousness, while the window frames are hidden within the wall cavity to provide an uninterrupted view of the surrounding tree canopies. The layout features a loft above the bathroom, which serves as a cozy reading room with views, and a large sliding glass door opens onto a deck to extend the living space outdoors. The house is designed to evolve over time, with the option to add more modules for bedrooms or workspaces in the future.

RESIDENTIAL | Tiny Home | The project "Home in High Latitude," located in Harbin, China, was a renovation project undertaken by hyperCity architects. The house is situated in a large courtyard featuring historic Russian-style eclectic buildings, with the architects aiming to create a contemporary solution that respects this historic context. Originally a small security guard's bungalow measuring only 28.77 square meters, the structure had been expanded over time to serve as a family home. The main challenge for the architects was to satisfy the living needs of a family of three within the limited space while ensuring the renovated structure maintained a respectful dialogue with the surrounding protected buildings. Instead of simply replicating the historical Russian style, the design sought to strike a balance between modern living requirements and the historic neighborhood. To contend with Harbin's famously cold climate, a new foundation was dug two meters below ground to avoid damage from frost expansion in the frozen soil. The project was completed in 2017.

RESIDENTIAL | House + ADU | Located in Lawrence, Kansas, the Pinkney Neighborhood House was designed and built by graduate students at the University of Kansas's Studio 804 in 2023. This sustainable infill project, situated on the former site of a demolished home on Indiana Street, showcases modern design while adhering to the scale and vernacular of the historic neighborhood with its gabled roof forms. The house is Studio 804's 18th project to achieve LEED Platinum certification, the highest level of sustainable practice. The project features a main house and an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) above a detached, one-car garage, which promotes urban density and provides rental income opportunities for the owner. The design prioritizes a connection to the environment, particularly the backyard, which is adjacent to a flood zone and feels like a secluded, forested retreat. Inside the main house, an open-plan living, kitchen, and dining area offers flexibility for the occupants. The interior features low-VOC finishes, and a combination of louvers and operable windows ensures passive heating and cooling, while an energy recovery ventilator manages fresh air circulation in the airtight building envelope. The exterior is clad in Nichiha's glossy black Miraia architectural wall panels, giving it a modern and sleek appearance. Sustainability measures include a rainscreen ventilated facade, a 16-panel solar array, a permeable driveway to minimize stormwater runoff, and a rain garden on the eastern side of the property. The house also has energy-efficient windows and doors, Energy Star-rated appliances, and wiring for an electric car charger in the garage.

RESIDENTIAL | House | Completed in 2019, Casa Prisma is a secluded 184-square-meter retreat nestled in Conguillío National Park, Chile, designed by architect Smiljan Radić. The project is a conscious "exercise in repetition and replication," where Radić pays homage to two previous designs: Japanese architect Kazuo Shinohara's 1974 Prism House and his own 1997 Room built on the island of Chiloé. The off-grid, prefab cabin is composed of two distinct black volumes placed on a massive elevated timber deck, which offers views of the forest and a nearby solidified river of lava from a past volcanic eruption. Getting to the remote location required the building materials to be brought in via plane flights and car rides through rustic towns. The two structures of Casa Prisma each mirror one of the referenced designs. The first volume, known as the Room, features a gabled roof and was inspired by Radić's earlier work. The second, the Prism House, has a mono-pitched roof and replicates the isosceles triangle geometry of Shinohara's original design, including the interior's distinctive diagonal post. The exterior of both volumes is clad in black metal panels, with extensive glazing that allows light to pour into the spaces and frame panoramic views of the surrounding wilderness. The interior contains open-plan living and dining areas, with dorm-style bedrooms located in the upper A-frame section of one structure. Inside, red accent colors can be found on textiles and kitchenware, reminiscent of Radić's Room project. The home is designed for off-grid living, with solar panels and a battery bank providing power, and a wood-burning stove for heat.

Based in Santiago, he works in close collaboration with his wife, sculptor Marcela Correa, to create unique projects that explore the sensory and social conditions of materials. Radić often focuses on smaller-scale projects like experimental structures, installations, and residential buildings, but he has also undertaken larger commissions, including the 2014 Serpentine Pavilion in London, the VIK Winery in Chile, and the renovation of the Chilean Museum of Pre-Columbian Art. His work often challenges traditional architectural norms, using a "pretty ugliness" approach to produce bold and unexpected forms. Radić does not maintain a website, adding to his reputation as a "hermetic" artist.

RESIDENTIAL | Cottage | The Taieri Mouth Bach is a modern reinterpretation of the traditional, simple holiday cottage, or "bach," built by architect Regan Johnston for his family while he was working at Mason & Wales Architects. Located on a sand dune near a fishing village at the mouth of the Taieri River on New Zealand's South Island, the project was completed in 2013 and took only eight weeks to build. The modest 55-square-meter dwelling was designed with a simple gabled form and honest, natural, and robust materials, paying homage to the original, often handmade, fishing huts and baches of the area. The bach's straightforward and economical construction is balanced by a striking, fully-glazed end wall that offers expansive views of the surrounding dune, Moturata Island, and Taieri Beach. To minimize view obstruction while ensuring the structure's stability against high winds and earthquakes, the glazed gable end is reinforced with a system of steel tension rods arranged in an X pattern. An open-plan living area occupies most of the ground floor, featuring a vaulted ceiling that rises to the roof ridge. Another wall with large sliding glass doors opens the living space to a timber patio on the sunny north side. The kitchen, bathroom, laundry, and storage areas are located at the back of the house. The project has been praised for its simplicity, charm, and unquestionable sustainability, with minimal waste during design and construction. It was a recipient of a NZIA Residential Award and a Supreme Timber Building Award at the 2013 New Zealand Wood Awards.

RESIDENTIAL | Tiny Home | The House on Hill is a minimalist, 15-square-meter off-grid tiny house designed by furniture maker Callan Green of Green Studio. Built in 2024 for under $20,000, the temporary retreat is located in the rolling foothills and eucalyptus forest near Sarsfield, Australia, at the beginning of the Great Alpine Road. The project was not approached as a traditional design exercise, but as a response to an inventory of salvaged materials that set the constraints for the construction. Its design was guided by a desire to highlight its natural surroundings and to exist lightly, with the potential to one day leave without a trace. The structure was built from a salvaged metal container that had a previous life receiving grain. The exterior is clad in corrugated metal sheets, giving it a rustic, utilitarian aesthetic that echoes the industrial heritage of the region. One notable feature is a circular opening in the roof, which creates a movable shadow that joyfully marks the passage of time inside the home. Despite its compact size, the interior feels spacious and open, thanks to large folding walls that can extend the living area to the outdoors. These large openings, along with mechanical veranda awnings made of steel and polycarbonate, create a dynamic transitional space that functions as a deck, boot room, and al fresco dining area. Inside, the home incorporates kitchen, living, dining, bedroom, and bathroom areas within its footprint. Salvaged timber, including century-old kauri pine and reclaimed Victorian Ash beams, was used to craft the interior's stunning timber finishes. Every piece of furniture, from serving plates and stools to shelving and storage, was custom-made for the project by Green Studio, maximizing the use of the limited space. A sliding timber screen separates the compact wet area. The overall effect is a small retreat that is deeply connected to its natural environment.

COMMERCIAL | Office Building | As an integrative local city center that is neatly positioned in the surrounding urban context, this project in the Neuperlach district in Munich clearly upgrades the architectural profile of this section of the town. The building complex offers a framework for public utilization, for 160 subsidized apartments, and for a number of social and cultural institutions. Forming a kind of a clasp, a flying roof ties the individual buildings of the new complex together. The private and public use of the roof gardens ensures a high level of identification on the part of the local residents. “From an architectural and urban planning point of view, the design of Delugan Meissl finally gives the center of Neuperlach the attention it deserves as a home to over 109,000 residents”, says Prof. Dr. Elisabeth Merk, Munich’s City Building Councilor. “The grand gesture of the building complex addresses the urban planning concept of the Hanns-Seidel-Square and offers an excellent framework of public use, as well as its use as a residential area. I am quite confident the lavish/bountiful public roof gardens will be an attraction not only to the residents of Neuperlach, but also for the whole of Munich.“ | https://static.wixstatic.com/media/9756fd_44b9d3e8b00a42d39ec0aebb29144a28~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1900,h_950,al_c,q_85/Hanns-Seidel%20Platz%20(1).jpg Out of gallery 1/0 Out of gallery Private Public Pin Pin 0 x Appreciators 0 3D models Product 3.2K Views 0 Appreciated Appreciate Please login to appreciate Hanns-Seidel Platz Hanns-Seidel-Platz, Munich, Germany dmaa.at Source: Published on Sep 30, 2023 by: CG artist Carl Hecht Premium Member More Buildings from Germany Facts: Up Up Architecture Office Delugan Meissl Associated Architects Austria Category: COMMERCIAL Office Building Project Type: Post Type: Building Country: Germany Photographers: Architects: Delugan Meissl Associated Architects Area: 40.500 m² Year: City: Munich Construction: - Client Awarding Body GEWOFAG Description: the architects Text description by As an integrative local city center that is neatly positioned in the surrounding urban context, this project in the Neuperlach district in Munich clearly upgrades the architectural profile of this section of the town.

RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | Cabin Moss is a tiny, 40 m² cabin located in the forest of Kőszeg, Hungary, near the Austrian border. Designed by Béres Architects in collaboration with the owner, Attila Hideg, the project was completed in 2021. The cabin is a personal and thoughtful design, intentionally built to be constructed by a single person and to exist in harmonious integration with the surrounding natural landscape. The architects at Béres, led by Attila Béres, adopted the philosophy of "Measure twice, dig once". This principle is evident in the cabin's minimalist design and its minimal impact on the forest ecosystem. The cabin's long, angular form is elevated on slender stilts, a strategic decision that allows it to float above the sloping terrain. This approach preserves the fragile root systems of the hundred-year-old trees on the site, which was a core consideration from the outset. The design is a testament to the "stay small" ethos, emphasizing a comfortable living space without unnecessary square meters or wasted areas. The cabin is oriented to frame views of the natural surroundings while presenting a more closed facade to the nearby road, offering maximum privacy. The cabin's construction is a model of low-impact, sustainable building. By using stilts, the need for extensive digging and foundation work was eliminated, protecting the natural ground. The structure is built with a carefully insulated timber frame using native coniferous wood. The exterior is finished with a rough, gray plaster, which creates a textured and protective shell. The interior features built-in plywood furnishings with a dark surface, offering a sharp contrast to the warm wood of the walls and ceiling. The design prioritizes energy efficiency, relying solely on electricity for heating and hot water, which is achieved with minimal consumption thanks to the high-quality insulation. The 40 m² interior is cleverly arranged to maximize functionality while maintaining an open feel. Connected spaces: The glazed entrance leads directly into the living and dining area, eliminating the need for a separate hallway. The spaces are organized with built-in furniture that doubles as storage, including the kitchen unit, washstand, and a commode in the bedroom. Strategically placed openings frame specific views of the landscape, including a panorama window and the entrance door.

RESIDENTIAL | House | The Hempcrete House is a compact, sustainable off-grid dwelling designed by Altereco Design and completed in 2023. Located in the alpine-adjacent town of Lyonville, Central Victoria, Australia, the house serves as a prototype for energy-efficient living using hempcrete, a carbon-negative material. The house embraces a "just enough" design philosophy with a small 75-square-meter footprint. This provides a functional and beautiful living space that emphasizes elegant simplicity. The main construction material consists of 300mm-thick walls of hempcrete (a mix of hemp hurd, lime, and water). The hempcrete provides excellent thermal insulation, resists fire, mold, and pests, and offers a natural, earthy texture. The home is oriented to the north to maximize solar gain during the cold winters. Wide eaves are used to shade the interior from the sun during the summer. Polished concrete floors and internal hempcrete walls absorb and release heat to help regulate the internal temperature. Natural ventilation: Operable clerestory windows create a "chimney effect" to naturally cool and ventilate the home in summer. The floor plan includes an airlock entry, bathroom, kitchen, and open-plan living/dining area on the ground floor. A mezzanine level accommodates the bedroom. Climate control: Despite experiencing sub-zero temperatures, the home can maintain a comfortable indoor temperature of 20°C (68°F) without using additional heating. Sustainability and performance The all-electric home is powered by a 5.2kW solar PV system located on an adjacent shed. A rainwater harvesting and filtration system collects water in large repurposed wine vats. The wastewater is treated with a biological worm farm system. The hemp used in construction sequesters carbon from the atmosphere during its growth. When combined with lime, the material continues to harden and sequester carbon throughout the building's lifespan. The project minimized waste through careful planning and by using reclaimed materials. Only two small trailer loads of waste went to a landfill. Reclaimed Messmate timber was used for the upstairs flooring, shelving, kitchen cupboards, and other trim.

Located in the alpine-adjacent town of Lyonville, Central Victoria, Australia, the house serves as a prototype for energy-efficient living using hempcrete, a carbon-negative material. The house embraces a "just enough" design philosophy with a small 75-square-meter footprint. This provides a functional and beautiful living space that emphasizes elegant simplicity. The main construction material consists of 300mm-thick walls of hempcrete (a mix of hemp hurd, lime, and water). The hempcrete provides excellent thermal insulation, resists fire, mold, and pests, and offers a natural, earthy texture. The home is oriented to the north to maximize solar gain during the cold winters. Wide eaves are used to shade the interior from the sun during the summer. Polished concrete floors and internal hempcrete walls absorb and release heat to help regulate the internal temperature.

RESIDENTIAL | Summer House | The Summer House, designed by Ginnerup Arkitekter, is a small stone-clad retreat located on a small, scenic Danish island with an open meadow landscape. Completed in 2022, the 55-square-meter (592-square-foot) home was designed to blend harmoniously with its environment, featuring a simple, gabled form and natural materials that minimize its visual impact. The architects intended for the house to be experienced as a gentle addition to the landscape, "a bit like picking up a small stone on the beach". The house is strategically placed on a thin concrete plinth that elevates it slightly from the ground, providing coastal protection from severe storms and elevated water levels. The plinth's aggregate includes small stones, echoing the pebbles and rocks found on the nearby shoreline. The entire exterior is clad in natural stone, a feature that helps it harmonize with the rocky beach and meadowland. The exterior's rustic appearance and the pitched roof, covered in light slate tiles, give the house a calm and subtle presence. Inside, the summer house offers a stark contrast with a minimalist and slick interior designed to allow the dramatic surrounding scenery to take center stage. Hard stone floors, a beautifully crafted kitchen, and a neutral color palette contribute to a simple yet high-quality finish. The full-height interior is organized into two areas: a main open-plan living space and a section with the bedrooms and a bathroom. Large windows and French doors are placed in the corners, allowing for abundant natural light and framed views of the island landscape. The design emphasizes craftsmanship and a serene atmosphere, with the stone exterior providing a rugged shell that protects and defines the refined interior space.

RESIDENTIAL | House | Designed by MRTN Architects, the Nulla Vale House and Shed is a pair of off-grid rural structures located on a granite-flecked, 300-acre property in Nulla Vale, Australia. Conceived as a back-to-basics retreat for a city-based couple, the project evokes the aesthetic of weathered agricultural outbuildings while providing a comfortable and sustainable refuge. The house and the custom-designed shed share identical dimensions and a classic gable-ended form, subtly referencing the familiar rural sheds found throughout the area. Upon closer inspection, however, their unique identities emerge through their distinct materials. The shed is entirely clad in heritage-grade corrugated galvanized iron and houses equipment, batteries, and the off-grid solar system. The house is constructed with salvaged bricks, corrugated iron, and rough-sawn timber. This earthy material palette was chosen to make the building appear as though it has long been part of the landscape. The positioning of the structures was determined by a desire line—a natural path worn by animals—on a land saddle with vast views but exposed to strong winds. Inside the 50-square-meter house, the design continues the theme of honest, utilitarian simplicity. The interior is free of plasterboard and paint, with exposed timber trusses and reflective insulation serving as the ceiling finish. This creates a warm, textured atmosphere reminiscent of "sleeping out in a shed," a direct contrast to the clients' clean, modern city home. The house provides the essentials for eating, sleeping, and washing, connecting the inhabitants more directly with their environment. Sustainable features were integrated from the outset. The compact, north-facing footprint is optimized for solar gain, and deep roof overhangs are calculated to block harsh summer sun while allowing low winter sun to warm the burnished concrete slab floors. Additional thermal mass is provided by insulated double-brick walls. The house features cross-ventilation and a 5.2 kWp PV system, and it relies on rainwater tanks for water supply. Designed for a minimal lifecycle cost, the house can also be extended in the future when the owners plan to transition to permanent rural living.

RESIDENTIAL | Tiny Home | Situated behind a modernist apartment building in Porto, Portugal, the renovation of Casa Zaire by Paulo Moreira Architectures was a compact and thoughtful project. Completed in 2018, the residence was originally the caretaker's house for the main building and is tucked away from the street and urban life. The renovation reconfigured the tiny, 30-square-meter space to create a contemporary living area that prioritizes the internal connections between rooms and a sense of openness within the compact volume. Inspired by the isolated location, the architects treated the small building as an autonomous object. On the ground floor, the kitchen, a side balcony, and the stairs were strategically moved to the outer walls, which freed up the central space for a small dining area. Upstairs, the bedroom was elevated on a custom-designed platform, creating valuable storage space underneath. This clever use of vertical space helps to maximize the cabin's limited footprint. The interior palette is a creative mix of old and new materials. The architects chose to keep the original black-and-white tiled flooring on the ground floor despite its worn look, lending character and a sense of history. This is contrasted with modern interventions, such as powder-blue kitchen cabinets and white subway tiles in a herringbone pattern. Other material choices, like wood countertops and simple wooden stair treads, further enhance the feeling of warmth and comfort.
