RESIDENTIAL | House | Situated among the grassy dunes and scenic hills of Vejby, Denmark, the Heatherhill Beach House is a 232-square-meter modern retreat designed by Norm Architects. The Copenhagen-based firm reimagined the traditional Danish summerhouse, drawing on regional architectural traditions while infusing them with contemporary elements. Built on the footprint of a preexisting house to minimize disruption to the landscape, the new structure respects its tranquil seaside location while offering a serene sanctuary for a family from the city. The design is composed of two interlocking gabled volumes, arranged to create a sense of dynamic flow and to frame stunning views of the beach and the Kattegat strait. A boardwalk flanked by wooden columns and landscaping leads visitors toward the central entrance and a private atrium, which provides a secluded outdoor space. The exterior is clad in cedar wood, chosen for its ability to weather gracefully over time and blend with the natural surroundings. A green sedum roof, coated with various plant species, changes color with the seasons, further integrating the house with the heather-covered hills. Inside, a light, tone-on-tone material palette creates an airy and open feel that bathes the interior in soft, diffused light. Natural Douglas fir planks from Dinesen cover the floors and line the walls and ceilings, creating a tactile connection to nature and a sense of warmth. In the living spaces, brick flooring pays homage to Danish mid-century modern residential design. A sunken living area leads to the minimalist kitchen, anchored by a silver travertine island. Custom built-in storage is seamlessly integrated throughout the house to maintain a clean, clutter-free environment. The home's two bathrooms also emphasize a connection to nature through framed views and the use of natural materials. One bathroom features an outdoor shower area enclosed by the same cedar that clads the exterior, allowing inhabitants to immerse themselves in their natural surroundings.

RESIDENTIAL | Tiny Home | "La Petite Maison" (meaning "The Little House") is a 35-square-meter wooden holiday home in the French countryside town of Guitinières, completed in 2020 by the Kyoto-based architecture and maker studio 2m26. Designed and built by the studio's founders, Mélanie Heresbach and Sébastien Renauld, the guesthouse accommodates up to two people and is situated on a sprawling property away from the main residence, surrounded by fields, woods, and an orchard. The project prioritizes a connection to the outdoors, with large windows, glass walls, and an open-air courtyard that blurs the line between the interior and the surrounding landscape. To minimize environmental impact, the minimalist house was constructed using locally sourced Douglas fir boards, a material that can be easily disassembled and recycled. It was assembled on-site with the help of the owners and sits on concrete pillars, which raises it slightly off the ground. The compact structure was designed to provide flexibility, with sliding glass doors and large shutters offering customizable protection from the wind or sun while allowing various views and natural light. The interior features a simple, open layout with four rooms partitioned by an additional set of movable doors and screens. The minimalist design is emphasized by furniture and countertops made from the same Douglas fir, which draws attention to the serene countryside views.

RESIDENTIAL | House | Designed by Toronto-based Dubbeldam Architecture + Design, the Bunkie On The Hill is a small, contemporary retreat completed in 2022. Located in the Muskoka region of Ontario, Canada, it is the smallest of several cabins on a family-owned property. It is tucked into the treeline on a steep slope, providing a quiet escape from the main, multi-generational family cottages below. The cabin reinterprets the traditional A-frame design with two intersecting, offset gables that create distinct volumes and elevations. This split-roof design, inspired by the layered shale rock formations found in the area, allows for carefully placed window openings that offer curated views of the forest and the lake. The design emphasizes both a strong connection to nature and a commitment to sustainability. The exterior features greyed wood siding and natural cedar soffits, which are intended to patina over time and blend further into the rustic landscape. The foundation consists of board-formed concrete that sits lightly on the existing rock contours, avoiding any need for invasive blasting. Inside, the home is functional despite its compact size, with built-in storage and benches. A variety of FSC-rated wood species line the interior, including oak flooring, maple plywood partitions, and Western red cedar slats for the ceiling, which echo the surrounding forest. The interior perimeter walls are clad in white wallboard. The home's layout features a main living area with a fireplace and a kitchen on the lower level, a bedroom with a large window and forest views at the rear, and an upper loft with a built-in desk and extra sleeping space. The large, geometric windows frame views, flood the interior with natural light, and create dramatic angular shadows that change throughout the day. In the evening, the warmly lit cedar interior transforms the cabin into a glowing lantern among the trees. Sustainable features include thickened walls with an R-value over 40, triple-glazed windows for passive insulation, and low-flow, low-energy fixtures.

RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | Located at the foothills of Mount Hutt in Canterbury, New Zealand, the Kererū Retreat is a sustainable, off-grid micro-cabin designed by Studio Now (formerly Studio Well Architecture) and completed in 2020. The transportable, 17.3-square-meter cabin was conceived as a private retreat for the architect-owner, Ben Comber, who sought a place to unplug and reconnect with nature. Its compact design reinterprets the rural New Zealand vernacular and can be seasonally moved, much like the native Kererū birds that roost in the nearby kōwhai trees. The minimalist, handcrafted alpine cabin proves that "bigger isn't always better," with a focus on high-quality finishes within its seemingly spacious but small footprint. Its design is based on efficiency, simplicity, and sustainability, allowing it to fully engage with its surroundings. Built using salvaged timber and galvanized iron, the exterior features a gable form with Douglas fir rain screens on the end faces and sliding timber shutters that cover the large windows for privacy and weather protection. The interior uses untreated timber paneling, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere. An open-plan layout includes a central living space with a built-in sofa, a minimalist kitchen, and a dining nook with a fold-down table. The sleeping area, which features an elevated queen bed, is situated on a mezzanine level and includes a panoramic window for stargazing and enjoying the views. A loft area and a hidden bathroom with a composting toilet are also included to maximize the small space.

The transportable, 17.3-square-meter cabin was conceived as a private retreat for the architect-owner, Ben Comber, who sought a place to unplug and reconnect with nature. Its compact design reinterprets the rural New Zealand vernacular and can be seasonally moved, much like the native Kererū birds that roost in the nearby kōwhai trees. The minimalist, handcrafted alpine cabin proves that ""bigger isn't always better,"" with a focus on high-quality finishes within its seemingly spacious but small footprint. Its design is based on efficiency, simplicity, and sustainability, allowing it to fully engage with its surroundings. Built using salvaged timber and galvanized iron, the exterior features a gable form with Douglas fir rain screens on the end faces and sliding timber shutters that cover the large windows for privacy and weather protection. The interior uses untreated timber paneling, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere. An open-plan layout includes a central living space with a built-in sofa, a minimalist kitchen, and a dining nook with a fold-down table. The sleeping area, which features an elevated queen bed, is situated on a mezzanine level and includes a panoramic window for stargazing and enjoying the views.

We share our name with a beautiful, remote, and historically important mountain in central Norway. Snøhetta is a place nobody is from, but anyone can experience. Creating places for societies to connect with each other and with the world around them is a primary motivation in our work. Dialogue and diversity empower this approach. Snøhetta first significant commission was in 1989 for Bibliotheca Alexandrina, reviving the ancient library in Alexandria, Egypt. This was followed by commissions for the Norwegian National Opera and Ballet in Oslo and the National September 11 Memorial Museum Pavilion at the World Trade Center in New York City. Since those early projects, many other internationally acclaimed works have been realized around the globe. source: snohetta.com Category Mixed Use Post Type Building Project Type RECREATIONAL Country Zimbabwe Year Area 4,424 m² Client Zimbaqua Photographers www.zhiig.com Premium Member Photographer Anna Salonen Collaborate 3D Design Suggest Materials Suggest Product Add Request Design © ZHIG Team Materials Suggested by Manufacturers: Model Full Name Details Details View more

RESIDENTIAL | Summer House | Designed by Copenhagen-based Valbæk Brørup Architects, VIBO TVÆRVEJ is a summer residence in Nykøbing Sjælland, Denmark. Completed in 2017, the 91-square-meter home is located in a forested area near the Kattegat seashore. It is characterized by a vaulted steel roof and a long, extruded tube shape, giving it a distinctive yet simple aesthetic that reinterprets traditional Danish cabins and barns. Inside, the house features a wood-clad interior with eight visible arched steel beams that create a rhythmic visual flow. The main living space is defined by its high, vaulted ceiling, which, along with large windows at both ends and along the sides of the house, frames views of the treetops and surrounding forest, inviting the landscape inside. The interior is predominantly made of pine, creating an atmosphere that evokes a traditional cabin. A large, open loft space acts as a bridge between the two ends of the house, enhancing the sense of open space. The layout includes three bedrooms, two of which are tucked beneath the loft. A fenced-in outdoor bathing area is accessible from the single bathroom via a sliding glass door. A pop of color is added in the kitchen with blue cabinets, and in the bathroom with ocher-colored tiles.

RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | Borzestova is a complex of two summer houses with a built-up area of 35 m². The project was evaluated several times while working on it. This resulted from changes in the needs of investors as well as changes taking place in the immediate vicinity of the plot. The guidelines changed, but the idea of the project remained the same to develop the plot in a way that connects people with nature. Investors wanted to share the charm of the place with others hence the decision to make houses available for rent. Despite the neighboring buildings, the project retains its intimacy. It allows you to enjoy silence and spend time away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The plot, apart from the outline of the buildings, is a biologically active area (permeable surfaces are grass or aggregate stabilized with a geogrid) supplemented with recreational facilities. The shape of the building draws from the values of traditional Kashubian architecture. A gable roof with a symmetrical angle of inclination was used, as well as uniform colors of the facade and roof covering. The contrast of window recesses and facades, as well as the form of roofing over the entrances to the building, bring to mind elements of classic Kashubian houses. And it is on these elements that you can notice the play of light and shadow, which, depending on the season, give the buildings new views. The dark color of the facade boards is achieved using the Japanese Shou Sugi Ban wood burning method. The glazing of the summer house is a screen filled with nature - the forest wall and the water surface of the lake, visible from between the trees. The whole thing was designed using frame technology. | https://static.wixstatic.com/media/a0ba0f_d3b702496cf3419fa995cefe80c4d322~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1900,h_1300,al_c,q_90/BORZESTOVA%20Cabin-YONO%20Architecture-Nate%20Cook%20(1).jpg 1/0 Private Public Pin Pin 0 x Appreciators 0 3D models Product 4.6K Views 0 Appreciated Appreciate Please login to appreciate BORZESTOVA Cabin 22-330 Kaszuby, Poland yonoarchitecture.com Source: Published on Feb 24, 2024 by: Architectural Designer Micro Homes Premium Member More Buildings from Poland Facts: Up Up Architecture Office YONO Architecture Poland Category: RESIDENTIAL Cabin Project Type: Post Type: Building Country: Poland Nate Cook Photographers: Architects: YONO Architecture Area: 46.9 m² Year: 2022 City: Kaszuby Construction: Client Borzestova Description: the Architects Text description by Borzestova is a complex of two summer houses with a built-up area of 35 m².

RESIDENTIAL | House | The very energy-efficient structure uses highly-insulated SIP panels, prefabricated to minimize transport of materials. The cladding is Scottish larch, charred by the contractor using a variation of the traditional Japanese shou sugi ban technique to achieve a naturally varied rich color and improved durability. The house will be completely off-grid, with its own water supply, sewage treatment and electrical system, all designed to minimize energy use. The modular form of the house, made up of three simple, pitched-roofed volumes, reduces the apparent scale and the height of the roofs and allows sections to be isolated and left unheated when not required. The scale of the individual sections relates to that of the buildings small and shelters that have stood on the peninsula in the past, the ruins of which still remain. The design does not try to copy the style of existing buildings in the area but its straightforward use of local stone and timber and simple forms are common with the traditional croft houses and agricultural buildings of the Highlands. The intention is that the development should have minimal impact upon the natural flora and fauna and will instead leave it as undisturbed as possible. Rather than surrounding the house with conventional domestic garden planting, the natural materials of the house sit in the natural landscape and, as the ground level falls away to the southeast, terminate with a deck or jetty above the unspoiled surrounding site. New planting will use native species chosen only to re-establish those that have been suppressed by invasive rhododendron or grazing, and to introduce a little more ecological diversity. As the process of clearing rhododendron continues, it is believed that other species should be able to reclaim much of the site with only minimal help - small Scots Pine seedlings are already established and need only protection from grazing. The existing birch, alder and larch will be augmented, with more planting of native heathers and juniper to add to the diversity of the lower stores. Yellow flag iris will be introduced to the existing boggy area to the east of the proposed house. The flat "green" roof connecting the pitched volumes will be planted with the some of the same mix of sedums, sea pink and other species found on the rocks nearby. The scale and sitting of the buildings, tucked into a natural fold in the land and designed around the existing established trees, has been carefully considered so that the building feels an integrated part of its surroundings from the outset - a modest and sustainable home that makes the most of, and has minimal impact upon, its very special location. | https://static.wixstatic.com/media/a0ba0f_f24b375462aa438983f61e798335b214~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1080,h_1346,al_c,q_85/Lochside%20House-haysomwardmiller.co.uk-Photos%20by%20Richard%20Fraser%20(14).jpg Please Wait Lochside House-haysomwardmiller.co.uk-Photos by Richard Fraser (2).jpg Lochside House-haysomwardmiller.co.uk-Photos by Richard Fraser (4).jpg Lochside House-haysomwardmiller.co.uk-Photos by Richard Fraser (6).jpg 1/6 0 Product 4.4K Views 5 0 Pin Pin Private Public x Appreciators Appreciated Appreciate Please Log in Lochside House Scottish Highlands, Fort Augustus PH32 4BY, UK Architects: Haysom Ward Miller Haysom Ward Miller Architecture Office United Kingdom Area: Year: City: Client: Scottish Highlands Private Construction: Category: RESIDENTIAL Project Type: House Post Type: Building Country: United Kingdom Photographers: Richard Fraser the Architects Description: The very energy-efficient structure uses highly-insulated SIP panels, prefabricated to minimize transport of materials.

COMMERCIAL | Office | The design of the Central Bank of Azerbaijan in Baku takes the economical high-rise typology as a starting point. The East-West oriented slab and its polygonal geometry rises then into a sculpturally twisted volume, glazed from top to bottom and open to its surroundings. The client asked for a symbolic building, open and light, to replace the hermetically-sealed structure of the former Headquarters. Situated on the Heydar-Aliyev Avenue, the 164 meters tall tower becomes a highly visible landmark of the capital city, a significant point of reference in the Baku skyline. Two other iconic buildings of modern Baku are located further South-West, on the same main road: the Baku Convention Center designed by Coop Himmelb(l)au (2015), and Zaha Hadid’s Heydar Aliyev Center (2012). A transparent, full-height atrium enhances the design, thereby generating a new high-rise typology that transforms the traditional office block into a vibrant place to work. The atrium functions as a ​“vertical city” with platforms functionally connecting spaces across the atrium and dividing it horizontally into urban-like neighborhoods. Numerous ​“short circuit” stairs and ramps connect several of the office floors across this ample interstitial space, creating informal meeting lounges and circulation patterns, similar to streets and passages of a city. Additionally, hanging gardens and daylight reflecting cones bring light and vegetation into the microclimate of the Vertical City. The atrium thus unfolds as a pleasant and dynamic communication forum, providing stunning views of the city of Baku and the Caspian Sea. As an economically optimized building, the Central Bank of Azerbaijan is equipped with a state-of-the-art sustainable energy concept, employing solar gain, passive sun protection, and natural ventilation for cooling and heating, as well as natural daylighting. | https://static.wixstatic.com/media/9756fd_03fdb92c94da4f59925f25af3c62a9d8~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1800,h_1125,al_c,q_90/Central%20Bank%20of%20Azerbaijan%20(4).jpg 1/0 Private Public Pin Pin 0 x Appreciators 0 3D models Product 3.5K Views 0 Appreciated Appreciate Please login to appreciate Central Bank of Azerbaijan Heydar Aliyev Ave 32, Bakı, Azerbaijan coop-himmelblau.at Source: Published on Oct 3, 2023 by: CG Artist Andrew L Premium Member More Buildings from Azerbaijan Facts: Up Up Architecture Office Coop Himmelb(l)au Austria Category: COMMERCIAL Office Project Type: Post Type: Building Country: Azerbaijan CBA construction, k18.at Photographers: Architects: Coop Himmelb(l)au Area: 33 200 m² Year: 2024 City: Baku Construction: Client Central Bank of Azerbaijan Description: the architects Text description by The design of the Central Bank of Azerbaijan in Baku takes the economical high-rise typology as a starting point.

RESIDENTIAL | Extension | The Saint-Andéol House is a residential renovation and extension project by Paris-based firm Banquet, located in the French commune of Saint-Andéol. Completed in 2023, the project involved a thoughtful integration of old and new, and is situated on the eastern foothills of the Vercors plateau at an altitude of 1,100 meters. The resulting structure harmonizes with the alpine landscape, providing residents with an immersive experience of the surrounding natural beauty. The project's design focused on seamlessly connecting an older residential structure with a modern extension. The new 50 m² extension thoughtfully respects the original building while introducing contemporary elements that enhance functionality and the occupants' connection to the outdoors. This is achieved through careful attention to spatial flow and strategic material choices. A key aspect of the design is the strategic placement of windows to frame spectacular views of the surrounding mountains, including the Grand Veymont, Mont Aiguille, and the distant Belledonne massif. The variation in window sizes on each of the four façades plays with the scale of the building and the landscape. The extension features a distinct material strategy that contrasts with the existing structure. A site-cast concrete base establishes continuity between the terrace and the new extension. A timber frame is built on this base, clad with larch on the exterior and lined with birch on the interior. This reinterpretation of the traditional alpine chalet uses materials that will evolve naturally over time. A green roof was installed to integrate the new structure into the landscape and contribute to both rainwater management and thermal regulation.

HOSPITALITY | Hotel | The Elva Hotel, completed in 2023 by Mange Bekker Arkitektur, is a modern Scandinavian boutique hotel located in Voss, Norway, a region renowned for its natural beauty and adventure sports. The hotel's design is inspired by nature, combining contemporary architecture with a deep respect for the environment. It is situated on a former industrial site at the water's edge, transforming a previously underutilized area into a unique and eco-friendly retreat. The hotel comprises a main building and five freestanding, tower-like mini-houses, offering a total of 14 guest rooms. The main building features four wheelchair-accessible rooms, a reception area, conference space, and a restaurant. It is connected to an existing facility that houses a bar, café, kitchen, and spa. Each of the mini-houses, which contain one to three rooms, is named after one of the rivers in the Voss area, and every room is named after a local waterfall. The design intentionally blends into the landscape, with natural-colored materials and stilted structures that "balance" over the lake's edge, creating sheltered outdoor spaces and framed views of the river, lake, and mountains. The hotel's unique placement on stilts also elevates it above the projected 200-year flood level, a critical design consideration given its location in a vulnerable wetland area. To further minimize its carbon footprint, pre-cut timber was used for most of the construction, and concrete was limited to below the flood level. Large, floor-to-ceiling windows bring the natural surroundings indoors, creating a serene and private atmosphere in each room. The restaurant emphasizes locally produced food, and the overall design creates a landscape hotel that encourages guests to connect with the surrounding wilderness.

RESIDENTIAL | Modular House | Located in Olst, the Netherlands, the Sprout Ruben & Marjolein is a bio-based, compact home created by Amsterdam-based studio Woonpioniers. Completed as a prototype for the studio's flexible and transportable Sprout concept, the house was developed for actual clients Ruben and Marjolein. The design is based on a prefabricated, modular system that can be lengthened, shortened, or stacked, with the specific build in Olst comprising a two-story volume topped with a mono-pitched roof and an open, greenhouse-like volume. The project emphasizes sustainability by utilizing as many bio-based materials as possible, including a wooden frame structure and a hemp insulation system. The modular approach not only makes the home transportable and adaptable but also provides affordable square meters and energetic benefits. The greenhouse element is integrated into the living and dining area, which opens to the outside and, in turn, provides extra living comfort. The interior features a flexible floor plan with minimal rooms and maximum open space, and a natural collection of materials is used to connect the home with its environment. The interiors are highly personalized to the clients' wishes, with the greenhouse section of the home featuring an interior mezzanine terrace suspended above it. Skylight windows in the mezzanine open to create an indoor/outdoor space that looks out to the horizon and up to the sky. Woonpioniers is leveraging the insights gained from this prototype to develop more custom tiny housing projects in Europe.

RESIDENTIAL | Summer House | The 600-square-foot Cabin K, also known as Saimaa Cabin, is a summer retreat in Finland designed by Seattle-based Studio Kamppari and completed around 2016. Perched on a granite ridge in a high-latitude pine forest, the cabin was built as a guest cabin and owner's retreat for an engineer who wanted to host his extended family and reconnect with the natural landscape. The design is a modern take on the traditional Finnish log cabin, blending traditional forms with contemporary details and focusing on natural light and open space. To minimize the impact on the site, which included a delicate landscape on a narrow ridge, the cabin's logs and window assemblies were prefabricated off-site and lifted into place by a crane. Built on post foundations, the cabin combines the traditional gable roof and log walls of Finnish cabins with unexpected details, volume, and quality of light. Locally sourced materials were used to complete the project on a limited budget. The exterior is protected from the elements by vertical pine screening treated with iron oxide, which accelerates the natural graying of the wood. The interior, in contrast, features untreated pine log walls and bare roof rafters, creating a warm and rustic aesthetic. The layout includes a double-height living room with oversized operable windows on the north and south sides that frame panoramic views of the forest and Lake Saimaa, blending the indoors with the outdoors. A whimsical, treehouse-like loft provides a cozy retreat, and two generous bedrooms bookend the living space.

Perched on a granite ridge in a high-latitude pine forest, the cabin was built as a guest cabin and owner's retreat for an engineer who wanted to host his extended family and reconnect with the natural landscape. The design is a modern take on the traditional Finnish log cabin, blending traditional forms with contemporary details and focusing on natural light and open space. To minimize the impact on the site, which included a delicate landscape on a narrow ridge, the cabin's logs and window assemblies were prefabricated off-site and lifted into place by a crane. Built on post foundations, the cabin combines the traditional gable roof and log walls of Finnish cabins with unexpected details, volume, and quality of light. Locally sourced materials were used to complete the project on a limited budget. The exterior is protected from the elements by vertical pine screening treated with iron oxide, which accelerates the natural graying of the wood. The interior, in contrast, features untreated pine log walls and bare roof rafters, creating a warm and rustic aesthetic. The layout includes a double-height living room with oversized operable windows on the north and south sides that frame panoramic views of the forest and Lake Saimaa, blending the indoors with the outdoors. A whimsical, treehouse-like loft provides a cozy retreat, and two generous bedrooms bookend the living space.

RESIDENTIAL | House | Having recently graduated from university, full of youthful energy and optimism, two college buddies pooled their money to embark on an adventure that wouldn’t fully come to fruition until many years later. They had scraped together just enough cash to purchase a breathtaking plot of land cradled on three sides by the largest national monument in the U.S., Utah’s Grand Staircase-Escalante. Here, they found paradise. Many camping trips, cocktails, and fond memories later, with retirement clearly in sight, the now fast friends decided to take their little slice of heaven to the next level. They turned to Imbue Design to help complete their decades-old vision. Together, they crafted a modest desert dwelling where the owners could put up their feet and drink in the profound stillness that saturates the desert landscape. The main priority was obvious – it needed to respect the essence of this special place and nurture the act of living simply within it. It also needed to be constructed with extreme care so as to disrupt the land as little as possible. To that end, the structure gently rests near the base of a bluff, at the seam where rock and vegetation meet. This helps minimize the visual impact from afar while maintaining spectacular views on the interior. Using rugged materials that reflect the desert fabric (corten steel, split-face concrete block, and cedar), the structure naturally blends in and ages with its surroundings. The simple form (two volumes capped by shed roofs, married by clerestory windows) is understated yet striking, ushering in views, light, and breezes from the desert panorama. Outdoor spaces flank every side of the structure – the living room spilling out onto a floating observation deck overlooking the distant view, the kitchen opening out onto a patio carved directly into the sandstone, and the bedrooms sharing an elevated outdoor tub for bathing under the stars. Located miles from the nearest utilities, the cabin was designed to be completely off-grid and self-sustaining. A detached photovoltaic array provides energy, a well provides water, and a septic field provides sanitation. To withstand the harsh desert climate and its drastic temperature swings, the retreat employs several passive energy strategies, including calculated overhangs for shading, thermal mass as a heat sink, and strategically placed operable windows for cross-ventilation cooling. Further assisting climatic considerations, the home is constructed with a super-tight, super-insulated thermal envelope and high-performing windows.
