RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | Located on the banks of Lake Brome in the Eastern Townships of Quebec, Canada, the Lakeside Cabin (also known as Chalet Lakeside or Black Cabin) was designed by Montreal-based firm Atelier Schwimmer and completed in 2019. The 3,200-square-foot retreat was commissioned by two brothers, who wanted a gathering space to share their love for outdoor activities with friends and family. The design blends into its natural setting while offering a modern and inviting interior. The "canyon of hospitality": The heart of the cabin's design is a central atrium that soars three stories high. A prominent concrete fireplace anchors this space, making it a focal point visible from all levels and generating a sense of warmth and gathering. A bridge on the second floor traverses this void, connecting the private bedrooms and creating more communal space. The exterior of the cabin features a unique two-toned finish using larch wood. The exposed planks are charred using the traditional Japanese shou sugi ban method, while the recessed sections are protected with a natural oil. This interplay of dark and light enhances the cabin's striking appearance. Expansive windows and large sliding glass doors frame panoramic views of Lake Brome and the surrounding wooded landscape. The cabin is strategically positioned to take advantage of its urban-width site, which is squeezed between neighboring properties but opens up to an infinite lake view. The cabin is highly insulated and airtight, withstanding the region's cold winters, which can reach temperatures of -40°F (-40°C). The building was conceived as an "archetypal house," with a gabled roofline and multiple entrances, which helps it fit into the traditional character of the surrounding town. The interior material palette is a simple mix of concrete, wood, and glass. The ground floor, which includes the kitchen, dining room, and living room, is organized around the central fireplace. The second floor contains four bedrooms that open onto the bridge overlooking the central atrium. The cabin was designed to accommodate a range of leisure activities, including playing music, board games, and watching movies.

RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL | Mixed-Use | Located to the east of the River Garonne in Bordeaux, across from the city’s UNESCO World Heritage historic centre, Ilot Queyries, a courtyard apartment building providing 308 homes – including 163 for social housing – parking, commercial space, and a rooftop restaurant in an intimate urban setting with plenty of light, air, and a large collective green space. The project is envisaged as a test-bed for the principles of the neighbouring Bastide-Niel masterplan, also designed by MVRDV, which aims to combine the virtues of Bordeaux’s UNESCO World Heritage historic city – intimacy, surprise, and liveliness – with the density, ecology, light, and comfort of the modern city. Ilot Queyries thus adopts the same approach as the Bastide-Niel masterplan: the building fills the site to its boundaries, lending an intimate feeling to the streetscape, while the roofs are arranged into carefully calibrated slopes to provide maximum ventilation, daylight, and sun to the building itself and to its neighbours. The result, designed in partnership with local architects Flint, is a large, irregularly shaped courtyard building almost 200 metres long. At 5,200m2, the large courtyard provides a park-like space for the residents; located one storey above ground level, it also hides the residents’ parking below. The building responds to its surroundings on all sides: on the south-eastern end of the building, sections as low as one storey relate to the low-rise neighbours, while on the north-east, facing the river, it rises as high as nine storeys. At this high point, a glass crown houses a restaurant with views of the river and the historic centre of Bordeaux beyond.

CAMPING | Cabin | The Whitetail Woods Regional Park Camper Cabins, designed by HGA Architects and Engineers, are a collection of three distinctive rental cabins located in the 456-acre Whitetail Woods Regional Park in Farmington, Minnesota. The project was developed as part of the initial phase of the park's master plan and aimed to create accessible, affordable, and restorative overnight accommodations for park visitors. Inspired by the concept of a treehouse, the cabins are elevated on wooded hillsides, with access provided by bridges that connect directly from adjacent hiking and ski trails. Designed to blend seamlessly with the natural environment, the cabins feature natural cedar cladding and are oriented to maximize views of the forest and prairie. Each cabin offers sleeping space for up to six people, with a combination of bunk beds and daybeds. While they do not have running water, the cabins are equipped with electricity, heating, and lighting, allowing for comfortable year-round use. Amenities include a picnic table and fire ring outside, while shared restroom facilities are located nearby. The design emphasizes a connection to nature, encouraging guests to enjoy the peaceful surroundings with limited modern distractions. The project has received significant recognition, including a 2016 American Architectural Award sponsored by the Chicago Athenaeum and the European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies. This award acknowledged the innovative design that integrates with the wooded site while making camping accessible to a wider audience, including those with special access needs. The cabins have been a popular addition to the park, with reservations often needing to be made well in advance.

RESIDENTIAL | ADU | The Granny Pad, by Seattle-based Best Practice Architecture, is an innovative accessory dwelling unit (ADU) created from a converted backyard garage. Completed in 2018, the 571-square-foot project offers a solution for multigenerational living in cities with limited housing options, providing a safe, accessible, and private home for an aging family member. The project was designed with both immediate and future needs in mind. To accommodate the decreased mobility of the elderly family member, the entire living area was designed on a single level. The layout flows seamlessly from the entry and kitchen to the bedroom and bathroom. To prevent the small space from feeling cramped, the design incorporates a number of strategies to increase the perception of volume. Exposed rafters emphasize the high ceilings, and strategically placed skylights and windows flood the While the design is currently optimized for a single occupant, the architects considered its long-term potential. The lofted area above the bathroom, currently used for storage, could be converted into an office, a sleeping space, or a creative studio in the future. This adaptability future-proofs the investment and offers flexible housing options for the family. The architects creatively worked with the site's natural six-foot slope, building the Granny Pad into the hill. This allowed for the inclusion of a lofted space and a private back deck connecting to the unit. The Granny Pad is a thoughtful and functional conversion that makes the most of its small footprint. The garage door was removed and the original garage structure now serves as the entry, kitchen, and sitting room. The floor plan places the private areas—the bedroom, bathroom, and laundry—at the rear of the unit. A small, secluded deck and garden area provides a private outdoor retreat for the resident.

This allowed for the inclusion of a lofted space and a private back deck connecting to the unit. The Granny Pad is a thoughtful and functional conversion that makes the most of its small footprint. The garage door was removed and the original garage structure now serves as the entry, kitchen, and sitting room. The floor plan places the private areas—the bedroom, bathroom, and laundry—at the rear of the unit. A small, secluded deck and garden area provides a private outdoor retreat for the resident.

RESIDENTIAL | House | Completed in 2023, the House in Nishizaki is a private residence located on reclaimed land in Okinawa, Japan, and designed by Studio Cochi Architects for a family of three. Situated within a dense and mixed-use urban landscape, the 91-square-meter concrete house was conceived as an "urban oasis" that provides a tranquil, private living environment while adapting to Okinawa's humid climate and typhoon-prone conditions. To achieve privacy and buffer the inhabitants from the bustling surroundings, Studio Cochi Architects enclosed the house in a fortress-like shell of thick, exposed concrete walls, minimizing exterior-facing windows. Instead of relying on conventional windows, the architects integrated two north-south oriented courtyards and a skylight to draw in natural light and promote ventilation. The north-facing courtyard, with its gradual buffer zone, connects with a tatami room and the main entrance, while the south-facing courtyard creates a thick, solid buffer from the busy commercial district. The house's interior is defined by a raw and minimalist aesthetic, with the concrete shell left exposed, complemented by precise geometric compositions and lines. The ground floor contains public areas, such as the living room, kitchen, and tatami room, and the upper floor is reserved for more private spaces, including the bedrooms and bathrooms. The staircase leading to the upper floor is wider than typical to serve as a secondary seating area. By carefully controlling the interplay of light and solid surfaces, Studio Cochi Architects created a series of intimate, serene spaces that offer refuge from the chaotic urban environment.

RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | The Remote Lake Cabin is a sustainable, off-grid retreat designed by Vermont-based Stonorov Workshop and completed in 2020. It is situated in the heavily wooded Adirondack Mountains of New York, on a lake accessible only by boat, and was designed for a family that has spent summers in the area for generations. The 783-square-foot, two-bedroom cabin was constructed with minimal impact on the environment and stands elevated on stilts, allowing the existing ecosystem to thrive beneath it. To avoid disturbing the forest, construction was carried out with hand tools and smaller equipment, with the firm's partner, Otto Stonorov, hand-building much of the structure using a human-powered chain hoist to raise large timbers. The design is a simple and honest expression of its materials and site. The structure is a wood-clad timber frame joined with steel components, with locally sourced hemlock forming the main frame and white pine used for the siding and floors. Extensive glazing offers panoramic views of the forest and lake, particularly from the master bedroom and a main living area that extends onto a deck through a large window and door. The off-grid property is powered by a solar array located elsewhere on-site, and a sustainable filtration system purifies lake water for in-home use. The interior features a warm and inviting atmosphere, with a central living area, built-in bunk beds in a loft area, and handcrafted elements throughout. Almost all of the furniture, including a dining table with benches and finger-jointed kitchen drawers, was custom-made by Stonorov Workshop.

RESIDENTIAL | Summer house | The Summer House, a project by General Architecture, is a reimagined retreat built on the foundation of a salvaged granary in Nannberga, Sweden. Completed in 2011, the architects found an old, small barn for sale outside the town of Borlänge, in the province of Dalarna, and were drawn to its straightforward, logical structure. The derelict building was carefully dismantled and moved to a more advantageous location on an old pasture near the shores of Lake Hjälmaren, a few kilometers from Arboga. This process of deconstruction and relocation formed a central theme of the project, sparking an internal discussion within the firm about construction, architecture, and the underlying tectonic elements of building traditions. The design sought to build upon the rustic character of the original structure while adding contemporary elements. After being reassembled, the granary's timber frame was placed on a new concrete plinth foundation. A load-bearing wooden framework was then added between the 15th and 16th timber rows, allowing for a full-height upper floor. The exterior of the new additions was treated with the same red paint as the original elements, ensuring a cohesive look. Following the construction, the house was left to settle for a year before the interior finishes were added. The interior of the house was kept simple and spare, with materials chosen for their availability and price. Oak wood, harvested from the site, and plywood from a local building supplier were used for the internal finishes. The internal walls of the upper floor were designed as floor-height trusses, a structural decision that eliminated the need for supports on the ground floor, creating a completely open-plan space. The ground floor features an open kitchen and living area, while the upper floor contains two bedrooms. Windows are carefully integrated, with large openings in the original timber walls and narrow, vertical windows on the upper floor, matching the new structural framework. The layout and material choices emphasize a connection to Swedish architectural tradition and the straightforwardness of the original barn structure.

RESIDENTIAL | Conversion | Completed in 2020, the Transformation House by Lautenbag Architectuur and De Stadsmeubelmaker is the conversion of a 1920s-era expressionist transformer house into a contemporary 25-square-meter hiker's cabin. Located just south of Wirdum in the Netherlands, the building had been empty for over 30 years and was scheduled for demolition before the current owner, Ronald van der Zwaag, conceived the idea for its transformation. The project sought to preserve the unique Dutch cultural heritage of the building while adapting it for modern use, offering a secluded retreat with views of the spectacular surrounding landscape. The architects expanded the small internal floor plan by adding three prefabricated steel bay windows to newly created openings. These bay windows, featuring cross-laminated timber on steel beams, use contrasting materials and detailing to both respect and enhance the existing expressionist structure with contemporary elements. The ends of the bay windows are filled with insulated glass, framing the landscape like paintings, while their sides are covered with galvanized steel panels with slats. The slats were designed to reference the cooling fins of a transformer and direct rainwater to the earth below. Inside, the interior is a unified wooden structure, functioning as a single large piece of furniture with clean, contemporary details. The original tiled floor was preserved, and light-colored materials were used to enhance the sense of space. The original chimney was repurposed with a glass cover to function as a skylight, and ventilation was integrated into the steel slats of the bay windows. The result is a hiker's hut that was saved from demolition and given new life for another century.

RESIDENTIAL | Tiny Home | Designed by architect Lionel Ballmer, La Petite Maison is a small wooden house and workshop completed in 2021. Located in a wooded area within the tourist resort of Haute-Nendaz, Switzerland, the project sits on a plot that was originally owned by the client's family. Instead of building a large house, the architects chose to divide the plot and build this 860-square-foot home to create a more intimate atmosphere. The house is designed with a series of small, interconnected spaces, creating a maze-like feel that gives the impression of a larger living space. The exterior of La Petite Maison is a simple monolith clad in rough, untreated local larch strips, which allows it to blend harmoniously with its vegetal surroundings. The use of wood also reflects a regional tradition of historical mountain buildings, but with a modern contrast to the greenery. The interior revolves around a central staircase that serves five half-levels, with the common areas on the lower floors and the private rooms on the upper levels. A minimalist material palette, a nod to the area's building heritage, was chosen for its aesthetic and thermal qualities. The project's design was driven by the desire for a secluded space for the architect, his wife, and their cats to enjoy their wooded plot, while also densifying the existing land. The resulting central garden, created by the offset house and workshop, is described as being "cut off from the rest of the world" despite being in close proximity to a family chalet and a summer camp.

RESIDENTIAL | Tiny Home | The RACV Tiny Home, designed by Maddison Architects in 2018, is a transportable dwelling intended to serve as a showcase for sustainable and affordable living. Commissioned by the Royal Automobile Club of Victoria (RACV) and designed by Peter Maddison, the host of Grand Designs Australia, the tiny house toured Victoria to educate the public on green building practices. The home was awarded a Commendation for Sustainable Architecture at the AIA Victorian Architecture Awards in 2019. The design is a contemporary reinterpretation of the traditional gabled house, which was chosen as an iconic shape of home. To maximize space and create a dynamic, welcoming entrance, the home features bright yellow, hydraulically-operated panels that fold out to form a deck and sunshades, reminiscent of a box unfolding. The 18.75-square-meter structure is built on a durable steel frame, allowing it to be transported on the back of a truck, and can function entirely off-grid or connect to services. Sustainability is a core component of the RACV Tiny Home. It was constructed with a seven-layered wall and roof system that includes "phase change" insulation, making it 60% more energy-efficient than a standard Australian home. It also incorporates passive design principles and active systems like integrated solar panels and battery storage. Locally sourced materials were prioritized to reduce carbon miles, including charred timber boards for the exterior and radial sawn Victorian hardwood and cork flooring for the interior. The design also features smart technology, allowing for voice-activated control of various functions, from lighting and entertainment to security and energy monitoring. The interior space is cleverly organized with a main living area that combines the kitchen, sleeping, and living spaces, along with a separate bathroom. The design includes built-in furniture to maximize efficiency, such as a built-in bed and bench, a slide-out dining table, and a cargo net that serves as a playful loft for children.

RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | Knapphullet is a small annex to a family holiday home located in Sandefjord in Norway. It is only 30 square meters, but contains an open living space with a bathroom and a mezzanine bed that sleeps two people. Although the building occupies such a small footprint, the space expands vertically over four levels including a roof terrace. The house nestles between large rocks surrounded by low vegetation, a typical example of Norwegian coastal landscape. The project started with the challenge of how to utilize this naturally sheltered area surrounded by large rocks and dense vegetation. The idea developed into providing a way to climb up from this shelter to see the panoramic view over the sea. An idea that ultimately led to the characteristic shape of the roof; a stepped ramp leading up from the terrain to the top of the roof and connecting to the landscape beyond. Exploring the detailed execution of each materials expands a seemingly restricted material palette. The roof is executed in 270mm thick reinforced concrete with 20mm VIP insulation underneath. The concrete itself is water resistant, thus no additional roofing materials are required. The interior walls are solid 50/50mm oak layered with a natural sawn texture, while the acoustic ceiling is covered with woven oak strips. A long bench is made with the same white concrete as the roof. The bench and the floor extend from the interior to the exterior, thereby tying them together, whilst an external fireplace creates a focal point in the atrium. | https://static.wixstatic.com/media/a0ba0f_3c45694567ba4553a7ef9c93acde3dcb~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1080,h_1344,al_c,q_85/Cabin%20Knapphullet-lundhagem.no-Ivar%20Kvaal%20(2).jpg Please Wait Cabin Knapphullet-lundhagem.no-Ivar Kvaal (1).jpg Cabin Knapphullet-lundhagem.no-Ivar Kvaal (2).jpg Cabin Knapphullet-lundhagem.no-Ivar Kvaal (3).jpg 1/4 0 Product 4.4K Views 14 0 Pin Pin Private Public x Appreciators Appreciated Appreciate Please Log in Cabin Knapphullet Sandefjord, Norway Architects: Lundhagem Lundhagem Architecture Office Norway Area: Year: City: Client: 30 m² 2014 Sandefjord Construction: Category: RESIDENTIAL Project Type: Cabin Post Type: Building Country: Norway Photographers: Ivar Kvaal the Architects Description: Knapphullet is a small annex to a family holiday home located in Sandefjord in Norway.

RECREATIONAL | House | The Poolhouse in Vilnius, designed by HEIMA architects and completed in 2022, is a 150-square-meter building that serves as a recreational space in a recreational complex. Located in a hilly valley near an existing basin, the triangular building's position was chosen to optimize the views of the surrounding natural landscape. The architectural design is notable for its heavy, archetypal, and steeply pitched roof, which creates a strong visual contrast with the extensive glazing that encircles the building. This transparency makes the roof appear to hover in the air, blurring the distinction between the interior and exterior and allowing the building and its surroundings to be enjoyed throughout the year. The design also subtly references ethnic Lithuanian house-building traditions through its wooden roof structure, with its repetitive trusses and 120-centimeter-high beams. A central skylight is integrated into the roof to provide additional natural light. Inside, the interior is modern and follows the same grey-brown color and material palette as the exterior, reinforcing the connection to nature. The space is organized around three central elements: a fireplace, a kitchen island, and a core volume that contains the utility rooms. This arrangement keeps the perimeter free, emphasizing the open floor plan and the unimpeded views offered by the wide-opening windows. Outside, the project includes an outdoor swimming pool, a small sand beach, and a BBQ area. The entire structure is designed to function as a seamless part of its natural setting.

The space is organized around three central elements: a fireplace, a kitchen island, and a core volume that contains the utility rooms. This arrangement keeps the perimeter free, emphasizing the open floor plan and the unimpeded views offered by the wide-opening windows. Outside, the project includes an outdoor swimming pool, a small sand beach, and a BBQ area. The entire structure is designed to function as a seamless part of its natural setting.
