RESIDENTIAL | Container Home | Elo Studio is a compact, 15-square-meter container home designed by the São Paulo-based architecture and interior practice Ticiane Lima Arquitetura & Interiores. Completed in 2020 as a prototype for the Janelas CASACOR 2020 exhibition, the project was conceived as a response to the post-pandemic context, reflecting on how living spaces could be rethought for well-being. It was inspired by the artwork "elo" by Ricardo Bueno, which joins brass and delicate blown glass, and the studio sought to emulate the artwork's concept of inhabiting a fragile yet supportive space. The prototype was showcased in a landscape setting in São Paulo, featuring large window openings that connect the minimalist interior with nature. The design incorporates Scandinavian influences, utilizing light-toned wood and focusing on multifunctional spaces. To maximize the small area, the interior includes a kitchen, an office, a bedroom, and a bathroom, with distinct areas created through wooden screens and contrasting materials. The house also emphasizes sustainability, featuring a green roof designed by landscaper Flávio Abílio and a solar panel system for energy.

RESIDENTIAL | Tiny House | Situated only 20 minutes away from the owner's apartment in Dresden, the garden house consists of two tiny houses, each with an area of approximately 28-35 square meters  (301-376 square feet). The main structure features a living room with a kitchen, designed to evoke a sense of timelessness. To achieve this, numerous NOS (new old stock) parts were incorporated, including parquet flooring, terrazzo tiles, and bricks for the chimney wall, giving it a vintage appeal. Furnishings were selected for their lightweight aesthetic, featuring iconic pieces such as the Pulkka chair by Ilmari Lappalainen and wire chairs by Charles and Ray Eames.

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.

Fresh out of architecture grad school and anxious to work, we were immediately disillusioned by the amount of soulless architecture being produced in Salt Lake City. Rather than following the traditional architecture career path at a large firm, working on someone else's grocery store bathroom design, we decided to do our own thing. We founded Imbue Design on four principles: 1. refuse to do work we aren't fully in love with, 2. every project we take on will be one we can proudly show off in our portfolio, 3. architecture must have real meaning without being stuffy or esoteric, 4. never compromise principle #1 . Since 2008 we've been sitting at the same ten foot desk rubbing elbows and doing what we love ― imbuing architecture with meaning.

RESIDENTIAL | House | Vipp Cold Hawaii is a contemporary guesthouse in Thy National Park, Denmark, designed by the local architect studio Hahn Lavsen. The project, which opened in 2024, involved transforming a historic early 1900s fisherman's cottage on a secluded 9,900-square-meter plot into a bookable retreat for surfers and nature lovers. While its silhouette hints at the traditional cottages of the area, the new structure features minimalist geometric forms and a restrained material palette. To create a robust yet understated structure that could withstand the coastal elements, Hahn Lavsen chose to work with a palette of just five materials, processed as little as possible. These include whitewashed aerated concrete walls for insulation, a roof of untreated Douglas fir heartwood designed to age gracefully, and classic oak stable doors that allow for natural ventilation and echo the area's agricultural past. Inside, the floors are exposed brick laid in sand, a textural reference to the nearby sandy beaches. The 185-square-meter guesthouse features a spacious, open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area, along with three double bedrooms and two bathrooms. Inside, the interior design by Julie Cloos Mølsgaard complements the minimalist architecture with a calm, neutral color palette and furnishings from Vipp. The heart of the home is a Vipp V3 kitchen, and large windows throughout frame expansive, panoramic views of the national park and the North Sea.

RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | Located in a rainforest near the city of La Unión in southern Chile, the 3x3 Retreat is a 15-square-meter minimalist cabin designed by Estudio Diagonal. Completed in 2020, the small house is named for its 3-by-3-meter floor plan, which emphasizes a "radical geometry" in contrast with the organic nature of its surroundings. The retreat was strategically placed on a slope overlooking the Radimadi river, providing inhabitants with picturesque views and the calming sound of the running water. The cabin's program is structured in what the architects describe as "three acts". The journey begins on the ground-level terrace, which is the same size as the cabin itself, and serves as an intermediary space between the forest and the interior. The first floor, or "day floor," contains a combined kitchen, dining, and living area. A large, double-height window on the front provides a stunning view of the rainforest, making it a perfect spot to observe the winter rains while enjoying a coffee by the wood stove. The second floor, or "private floor," is reached by a ladder to save space and enhance privacy. This level houses the sleeping area and a bathroom. Construction prioritized both budget and sustainability, using standard, pre-dimensioned pine wood and leveraging local labor and traditional building techniques. The structural framework is left exposed on the interior, celebrating the construction process. This deliberate approach to materiality and form creates a simple yet lofty space, with its 4.8-meter double-height window adding an exaggerated sense of verticality. The resulting retreat is an intentional, remote oasis designed for disconnection and a deeper connection with the surrounding rainforest.

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.

RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | Completed in 2013, Ermitage is a small wooden cabin designed by the Paris-based architecture studio SEPTEMBRE. The 20-square-meter structure is situated on the remote island of Trossö, off the west coast of Sweden, and was commissioned by a private client who spends summers there. As there are no roads on the island, all materials for the cabin were transported by boat and carried by hand. The cabin's design is minimalist and functional, created as a secluded retreat with a focus on its natural surroundings. The brief from the client was for "a room with a view of the sea," and the design delivers on this with two large windows framing the distinctive, windswept landscape of the ocean on one side and pine trees on the other. A large sliding glass door effectively doubles the living area when opened, blurring the line between indoors and outdoors. The cabin was constructed with minimal impact on the environment, raised off the ground to sit lightly on the plot. Its exterior features Swedish spruce, painted with a matte black finish, a color choice that references the vernacular architecture of local fishing cabins. The interior has a more natural feel, with Swedish spruce flooring and plywood-clad walls and ceilings. The pitched roof provides a generous internal volume, and the compact space includes a sauna and a living/bedroom area for two people.

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.

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 retreat is entirely off-grid and self-sufficient, relying on a rooftop solar system for electricity, a rainwater collection tank for water, and a wood-burning fireplace for warmth. Its design has received several accolades, including an award at the Architectural Designers New Zealand Design Awards.

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 retreat is entirely off-grid and self-sufficient, relying on a rooftop solar system for electricity, a rainwater collection tank for water, and a wood-burning fireplace for warmth. Its design has received several accolades, including an award at the Architectural Designers New Zealand Design Awards.

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.
