RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | The Magnolia Eco-Cabin, designed by architect Michael Quirk, is a compact, 11-square-meter (120-square-foot), net-zero-carbon cabin located in the forest near Nederland, Colorado. The project was conceived while Quirk served on the Colorado Green Building Guild board, aiming to showcase carbon-negative and net-zero energy building techniques and materials from the guild's members. Built to be a sustainable and off-grid retreat, the cabin is a testament to resourceful building. Much of the structure is made from locally sourced materials and reused components. For insulation, Quirk used hemp wool and hempcrete. The exterior is finished with a variety of woods, including locally sourced birch plywood that has been charred using the Japanese Shou Sugi Ban method for enhanced durability. Reused metal panels, doors, and windows were also incorporated into the design. The interior of the micro-cabin is a simple, two-room, two-floor space for barebones living. A light-filled living area on the lower floor features a fireplace and a bench for firewood storage. Storage-integrated stairs and a ladder lead to a lofted sleeping area. The cabin is powered by rooftop solar panels, providing it with a renewable energy source that supports its off-grid lifestyle.

RESIDENTIAL | House | House MM, designed by Chris Collaris Architects and completed in 2017, is a sustainable and minimalist dwelling in the north of Amsterdam, Netherlands. Working within the tight 60-square-meter footprint of a dilapidated brick house, the architects created a modern and deceptively spacious three-level home that prioritizes natural light, clean lines, and an integrated indoor-outdoor experience. The design of House MM is a masterclass in maximizing space within a small area while adhering to a passive-building philosophy. The structure's asymmetrical, steeply pitched roof is cantilevered, increasing the upper-level ceiling height and creating an extra mezzanine and attic, which adds to the perceived spaciousness of the interior. The exterior is entirely clad in blackened, wax-conserved pine, giving the home a sculptural, minimalist appearance. Details like the roof edges and gutters are integrated to keep the lines as clean as possible, creating a seamless, monolithic form. The design embraces passive building technology. The facades and roof are constructed with high-density insulated sandwich panels—materials typically used in large industrial buildings but tailored here for a smaller residential application. Full-height glazing at the rear of the house opens onto a terrace and garden, visually and physically extending the interior space outdoors. In a nod to the home's history, bricks from the original house were salvaged and reused to create a central core in the interior, anchoring the design in its past. A refined palette of materials enhances the home's contemporary feel while retaining a warm, natural character. Wax-conserved and black-stained pinewood was used for the facade and roof, providing a low-maintenance, elegant finish. Salvaged interior bricks form a central core, which houses a staircase and divides the living, kitchen, and dining areas. Birch multiplex cabinetry and built-in units are used for storage throughout the house. Polished concrete provides a sleek, modern, and durable finish. The central stair void, topped by a skylight, allows natural light to filter down and maximize the brightness of the ground floor.

RESIDENTIAL | Modular House | Petit Place is an entirely modular and sustainably constructed tiny house project designed by the Dutch firm RoosRos Architecten in 2018. It was conceived as a self-sufficient and customizable housing solution based on the open-source WikiHouse principle, allowing for easy, do-it-yourself assembly using a kit of milled wooden elements. The design is highly flexible, with floor plans ranging from a compact 25 square meters up to 1,000 square meters, allowing occupants to adapt the space to their specific needs. The core concept emphasizes the ability to "live wherever you please," with the structure being suitable for various locations, from cities and villages to fields and waterfronts. The prototype of the project is a 40-square-meter model located next to the water tower in Zwijndrecht, Netherlands, which offers views of the three-rivers-point. Sustainability is a key feature of Petit Place. The prototype model's exterior is clad in solar panels that can generate approximately 9,000 kWh annually, which is three times more energy than the tiny house is expected to consume. This cladding system, dubbed the "Powerplant," also insulates the building and uses breathable Gore-Tex foil to protect it from the elements. Other exterior options include a "Green Machine" version covered in vegetation and a "Zero Waste" option made from reclaimed wood. The design uses natural, high-performance materials throughout, such as ISO flax insulation. According to architect Stefan de Vos, the goal was to create a sustainable home that "gives something back" to the user and the planet, providing a healthy living environment and low monthly utility bills.

RESIDENTIAL | Tiny Home | Designed by dot and associates and completed in 2020, House ½ is a 45-square-meter family home located in Taiwan. Built using a tongue and groove technique in cooperation with a carpentry factory in Kochi, Japan, the construction and interior living requirements were completed in just six weeks. The project's name comes from the philosophy of leaving the house "half empty" instead of cramming it with possessions, thereby focusing on sensory experiences and connections with the natural environment. The home is located on a heavily forested site, designed to integrate with the landscape without removing trees. A white pavilion near a temple at the entrance provides a resting area for visitors. The house is intended to be adaptable and transformative, promoting an "offline life" and connection to the outdoors with features like movable furniture, a barbecue grill that functions as a kitchen, and camping chairs for the living room. The interior has an open-plan layout, with a small loft above the main living area for sleeping. A large central pillar in front of the foyer supports the home and is meant to symbolize family unity. The roof was deliberately left exposed to the elements to assess its resilience in Taiwan's climate. Camphor wood chips surrounding the cabin provide fragrance and deter insects. The house is designed to withstand typhoons and requires only human assembly.

The home is located on a heavily forested site, designed to integrate with the landscape without removing trees. A white pavilion near a temple at the entrance provides a resting area for visitors. The house is intended to be adaptable and transformative, promoting an "offline life" and connection to the outdoors with features like movable furniture, a barbecue grill that functions as a kitchen, and camping chairs for the living room. The interior has an open-plan layout, with a small loft above the main living area for sleeping. A large central pillar in front of the foyer supports the home and is meant to symbolize family unity. The roof was deliberately left exposed to the elements to assess its resilience in Taiwan's climate. Camphor wood chips surrounding the cabin provide fragrance and deter insects. The house is designed to withstand typhoons and requires only human assembly.

RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | The Ecological Holiday Home is a 70-square-meter retreat in Brasschaat, Belgium, designed by POLYGOON Architectuur for clients Wim and Joosie. Completed in 2020, the project's primary goal was to create a comfortable, low-impact holiday house that would blend as much as possible into its forest surroundings. The design is defined by its strong ecological principles, using renewable, biodegradable, and recyclable materials in a circular construction process. The house is supported by 11 slender poles, allowing the structure to "float" about half a meter above the forest floor, minimizing its physical and visual footprint. This foundation system means the house can be moved in its entirety, with the option to add two extra poles for a terrace. The cabin's form is an organic pentagonal plan with three obtuse corners, giving it a soft, non-intrusive character in the woods. It features a single-pitch roof that reaches a height of 7 meters at the rear, creating a sense of spaciousness within the compact footprint. The wooden skeleton was prefabricated and assembled in just five days, with the clients themselves contributing to the exterior cladding and interior finishes. The exterior is clad with locally sourced, barked larch planks over fiberboard, and the interior uses oriented strand board (OSB) panels. Energy efficiency is a key feature, with the house so well-insulated that a single wood stove is sufficient for heating. An air-source heat pump was also installed to heat sanitary water efficiently. Recovered and recycled materials were used for the kitchen and bathroom furnishings.

RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | Constructed in 2023, the Fritidsbolig, Slevik is a vacation home situated along a quiet residential street in the coastal village of Slevik, Norway. The project involved replacing a smaller, traditional 1950s cabin with a more functional, modern holiday home. Architect Eirik Rønning Andersen of ZIS AS designed the new cabin, drawing inspiration from the area's older architectural traditions. The design uses traditional building methods, featuring white-painted batten cladding and a roof pitch similar to historical buildings in the region. The roof eaves are minimal, giving the structure a clean, contemporary appearance. A key feature of the house is the strategic placement of windows to create visual connections, maximize views, and allow natural light to fill the interiors. This intentional use of light makes the interior feel expansive and spacious. Inside, the home is characterized by light-colored wood, creating a warm, airy atmosphere. In contrast, the kitchen features dark, lacquered benches and cabinets. The interior space is divided into different levels by a series of steps, with a raised living area situated above the bedrooms and bathroom. The main living space extends the full length of the cabin, stretching from gable to gable. The design also incorporates several custom-built details, including a site-specific staircase connecting the different levels and slatted wooden sections that add screening and depth.

RESIDENTIAL | House | The Residential Barn is a 215 m² residential project located in the rural Reppischtal region, near Zurich, Switzerland. Designed and completed in 2022 by BE Architektur, the house reinterprets the traditional Swiss agricultural barn typology (known as a schüür) into a functional and sculptural family home. The design's main goal was to create a new home that respects and blends into its historical and agricultural context. BE Architektur's founder, Boris Egli, achieved this by taking typical barn characteristics and reinterpreting them in a modern way. From a distance, the house appears to be another unassuming outbuilding in the hamlet, but upon closer inspection, its contemporary nature is revealed. Key features of this reinterpretation include: Glazed spruce facade: The exterior is clad in the same type of timber used for traditional Swiss barns, but with a transparent glaze that allows the wood to weather naturally. Pitched tile roof: A classic pitched roof is topped with the same tile roofing as neighboring structures, helping the building blend in. Concealed fenestration: Operable windows are hidden behind wooden shutters, while large, fixed glazing is fronted by sliding wooden doors. This creates a cohesive, uniform facade that conceals the interior's domestic function. Inside, the house embraces a raw and unfinished aesthetic, using a minimalist material palette to create a series of interconnected, sculptural spaces. The interior functions, such as the bedrooms and closets, are housed within enclosed volumes that are "stacked" atop one another. This design recalls the idea of a barn as a storage space. The negative space created around these volumes forms a spacious, open living area with a sense of vertical and horizontal expanse. The interior features exposed concrete floors and walls finished with textured, light-grey plaster, creating a tactile and serene environment. The project showcases a blend of rustic inspiration with modern, sustainable techniques. A photovoltaic system is integrated onto the gently sloping concrete gable roof, ensuring the home's energy needs are met with solar power. The freestanding concrete two-car garage was built using the same timber formwork as the house's facade, creating visual continuity between the two structures. A raw steel beam is used as a minimalist gutter, extending beyond the base of the roof to define the structure's clean lines.

RESIDENTIAL | Annex | Completed in 2024, the Garden Room by Wilkinson King Architects is a detached, 24-square-meter private annex located in the garden of a Grade II listed Victorian house in Stockwell, south London. The project was commissioned by the client to provide a home for their mother who had moved to the city to be near family. Built on the site of a former raised terrace, the new structure is designed to harmonize with its garden setting. The design is sensitive to its surroundings, particularly the large tree canopy that provides protection for the small building. The exterior is clad in charred timber (shou sugi ban), which takes on the dark tones of its environment and provides protection from the elements. The form is characterized by a rectilinear elevation contrasted by a large, circular, moon-like opening. A pergola structure acts as an intermediate threshold between the shared garden and the interior. This space can be screened for privacy by sliding lattice panels that mask the full-width glazing. The interior of the single-room space is designed to feel bright and open. Birch plywood wall linings give a soft, warm feel, while Douglas fir flooring provides an organic texture. The roof features exposed diagonal joists, reminiscent of tree branches, and circular skylights cast dappled light onto the floor and provide views of the tree canopy above. A full-height cupboard divides the space to create a separate shower room while maintaining visual continuity of the ceiling. The highly sustainable design features excellent insulation, electric underfloor heating, and natural light and ventilation. The dry-construction technology is fully reversible, as the structure is built on small screw piles that can be easily removed.

RESIDENTIAL | House | Our intention was to create luxury home designs and activate the entire site by creating a series of connected spaces inside and outside of the building that respond to the physical conditions of the site and programme. We wanted to resist the urge to simply open the living area to the rear yard when there were viable opportunities for north facing living and entertaining spaces along the side boundary. The client a young couple purchased the dilapidated property with the intention of restoring the existing building and converting it into a modern living sanctuary. The site consisted of an existing brick workers cottage that had undergone several distasteful alterations over its life. One of which consisted of an addition that had been tacked onto the side of the original building resulting in a bulky and un proportional street facing elevation. This formed the premise of the brief which was initially; restore the original brick building to its original proportion as viewed from the street, re-configure the layout of the existing building to suit a young modern family and to create a rear addition to accommodate a new large living, dining and kitchen space suitable for entertaining. While the living/kitchen and dining area would generally be considered as open plan we wanted to subtly define these spaces giving each space its own spatial characteristic or purpose while maintaining the overall connection. The rotating of the living/lounge area slightly away from the other spaces resulted in a slightly more discreet space for sitting and relaxing and entry into the yard. Dealing visually with the junction between the new and old is always a challenge in contemporary alts and adds. In this case instead of playing down this interaction we envisaged a more sculptural solution. The existing building is cut physically at a suitable line then reconstructed using recycled bricks from the site to form a large sculptural wall that exaggerates a contemporary vernacular form. This form sets the line of a new roof that creates large voids with celestial windows over the hall and bathroom. From the living and entertaining areas the wall acts as a dramatic backdrop that is somewhat symbolic of its urban context and demolished remnants of site. A large skylight has been located at this junction and carefully detailed so it’s glass appears to be floating into the brick wall, this breaks down the threshold between the old and the new and sets up views of the walls form from the internal spaces. | https://static.wixstatic.com/media/a02f20_d013020b445c42eb80e15e2d6b88a6b5~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1333,h_1000,al_c,q_85/Wetherill-Ahron%20Best%20Architects-%20(5).jpg 1/0 Private Public Pin Pin 0 x Appreciators 0 3D models Product 2.3K Views 0 Appreciated Appreciate Please login to appreciate Wetherill Croydon VIC 3136, Australia ahronbestarchitects.com Source: Published on Jul 17, 2024 by: Architectural Designer Markitekt Premium Member More Buildings from Australia Facts: Up Up Architecture Office Ahron Best Architects Australia Category: RESIDENTIAL House Project Type: Post Type: Building Country: Australia Ahron Best Architects Photographers: Architects: Ahron Best Architects Area: 190 m² Year: 2020 City: Croydon Construction: Client Private Description: the Architects Text description by Our intention was to create luxury home designs and activate the entire site by creating a series of connected spaces inside and outside of the building that respond to the physical conditions of the site and programme.

RESIDENTIAL | House | Situated in an olive grove in Halkidiki, Greece, The Olive Tree House is a 21-square-meter prefabricated summer house designed by Eva Sopeoglou Architecture and completed in 2016. The project was conceived as a low-maintenance, eco-conscious weekend retreat for its client, offering stunning views of the sea and the monasteries of Mount Athos. The design stands out for its creative use of a perforated, olive-green metallic envelope, which wraps around the structure and is inspired by the dappled shade of olive trees. This innovative cladding, developed in collaboration with metal fabricator METALSO, uses a CNC punching machine to create a textile-like pattern with leaf-shaped perforations. As the sun moves, this envelope fills the interior with a dynamic play of light and shadow, blurring the line between inside and outside. The house's rectangular, 3-by-7-meter plan is oriented to the cardinal points, a strategic placement that maximizes shading, natural ventilation, and views. A thin corridor connects the small interior rooms, which include a kitchen and bedroom, and is aligned with the surrounding olive trees. The building's orientation allows each room to have its own character based on the quality and intensity of its shadows, with colorful morning light on the east side and dramatic midday effects from the south. Full-height sliding metal doors allow the internal spaces to open up completely to the landscape, facilitating semi-indoor and outdoor living. To ensure interior comfort, the design relies on natural ventilation, including a sloped roof that helps extract hot air. The prefabricated nature of the components allows the house to be dismantled at any time, leaving a minimal environmental footprint.

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 | House | House for a Drummer, designed by Bornstein Lyckefors, is a contemporary home located in the countryside of Kärna, Sweden. Built in 2016 for a single father with two children, the residence was inspired by an old farm stall that once stood on the site. The design is a modern interpretation of a classic warehouse or barn, and the compact, 163-square-meter footprint includes three levels that are vertically stacked to maximize space. The exterior is defined by its clean, boxy volume and is painted in a traditional Swedish Falu-Red color, which helps it blend in with the local countryside and surrounding trees. The west-facing facade features large, barn-style doors that can be used to cover the windows for added privacy or protection from the elements. Inside, the home has an open, loft-like quality, with a central void that allows rooms to visually connect across the three floors. This design choice also allows natural light to filter deep into the house. The interior material palette is simple and honest, featuring a ground floor of seamless concrete that continues to the exterior patio. Plywood is used for built-in furniture, shelves, and walls, while a dark grey wooden fiberboard covers surfaces in the kitchen. An unusual floor plan features varying ceiling heights, which creates a dynamic and intimate living environment.

COMMERCIAL | Office | A new typology of a skyscraper: The hyperboloid cut as a distinctive and unique building characteristic can only be achieved with a completely different kind of skyscraper geometry. The design concept of the ECB was to make a vertical hyperboloid cut through a 185-meter-tall monolithic block, wedge it apart, twist it, and fill the newly created intermediary space with a glass atrium. The result is highly complex geometry and a multifaceted building offering a completely different appearance from each angle: massive and powerful from the South-East, slender and dynamic from the West. The design of the European Central Bank in Frankfurt combines the new iconic double tower with the vast horizontal structure of the Grossmarkthalle, a protected landmark, creating a new urban development focus in Frankfurt’s Ostend district. United by an entrance building, these two elements form an ensemble of special architectural significance. Featuring bridges, pathways and platforms, the glass atrium between the two high-rises creates a “vertical city”. The semi-public and communicative functions are located in the Grossmarkthalle. The atrium – a “vertical city” The atrium with its visible steel support structure occupies nearly the entire height between the office towers. Connecting and transitioning platforms horizontally divide this interstitial space into three sections with heights from 45 to 60 meters. Just like public squares, they invite visitors to communicate while hanging gardens ensure a pleasant indoor climate. Elevators and stairs connect the levels together and to the public areas located in the Grossmarkthalle. The Grossmarkthalle – an “urban foyer” The existing Grossmarkthalle, a former wholesale market built in the 1920s, is used as an “urban foyer”. The conference and visitor center as well as the library and employee cafeteria are placed diagonally in the spacious interior, as independent building structures (a “house within a house” concept). A floating building penetrates the hall from the outside. With its asymmetrical contours, slanted facades and generous windows, it marks the emblematic entrance to the ECB. The so-called “loop”, a glass walkway between the high-rise and the market hall, completes the ensemble. Focus point of a new urban development The ECB’s architecture was carefully attuned to its location in Frankfurt’s Ostend district. With its clear orientation towards the various urban perspectives, the ensemble enters a dialogue with Frankfurt’s main points of reference: the Alte Oper, the Museum Embankment, and the skyline of the financial district. The distinctive tower, in turn, can be seen from all the important parts of the city center and the Main river, thereby marking the development of a new center in the East of Frankfurt. Energy efficiency and sustainability are key factors of the project The sustainable energy concept includes utilization of rainwater, heat recovery, efficient insulation, sun protection, and natural lighting as well as natural ventilation for the offices. The latter takes place via vertical, room-high ventilation elements installed on the triple-layered hybrid façade of the towers, otherwise acting as a shield. Some areas, such as the atrium and open spaces of the Grossmarkthalle, serve as a buffer zone between indoor and outdoor climates. | https://static.wixstatic.com/media/9756fd_1697a4a98bea4399b8e70bcbcc2d904c~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1800,h_1200,al_c,q_90/European%20Central%20Bank%20(1).jpg 1/0 Private Public Pin Pin 0 x Appreciators 0 3D models Product 2.7K Views 0 Appreciated Appreciate Please login to appreciate European Central Bank Sonnemannstraße 22, 60314 Frankfurt am Main, Germany coop-himmelblau.at Source: Published on Oct 3, 2023 by: CG artist Carl Hecht Premium Member More Buildings from Germany Facts: Up Up Architecture Office Coop Himmelb(l)au Austria Category: COMMERCIAL Office Project Type: Post Type: Building Country: Germany Paul Raftery Photographers: Architects: Coop Himmelb(l)au Area: 185,000 m² Year: 2015 City: Frankfurt Construction: Client European Central Bank Description: the architects Text description by A new typology of a skyscraper: The hyperboloid cut as a distinctive and unique building characteristic can only be achieved with a completely different kind of skyscraper geometry.
