HOSPITALITY | Lodge | Synvillan, which translates to "The Illusion Villa," is a unique hotel room at the Eriksberg Hotel & Nature Reserve in Blekinge, Sweden, designed by Thomas Sandell of the architectural firm Sandellsandberg. The project merges traditional regional architecture with contemporary elements to create a distinctive, nature-focused experience for guests. Completed in 2020, Synvillan offers visitors a one-of-a-kind opportunity to get close to wildlife without disturbing the natural environment. The villa is elevated on pillars, floating four meters above a feeding area for animals in the wildlife park. Its exterior features a striking combination of materials: a thatched roof, inspired by traditional architecture in the Blekinge area, sits atop walls covered in polished, patterned steel plates. This mirrored, dimpled surface reflects the surrounding sky and forest, giving the structure the surreal appearance of almost disappearing into its environment, true to its name. The design is a study in contrasts, juxtaposing the rustic charm of a thatched roof with the high-tech, reflective cladding. Inside, the 50-square-meter accommodation provides a cozy and immersive stay for up to four guests. The two-room unit features a living area, kitchenette, and a furnished terrace. A highlight is the transparent glass floor panel in the living room, which allows visitors to observe animals like European bison, red deer, mouflon, and wild boar feeding directly beneath them. The interiors are lined with pale wood and punctuated with playful, vibrant colors on the ceiling. Despite the lack of running water, the villa is powered by solar energy and gas and includes a modern incineration toilet. Access to the elevated cabin is via a long wooden staircase.

RESIDENTIAL | House | Completed in 2017, the T House, also known as T noie, is a 102-square-meter family home located in Toyota, Japan, and designed by Katsutoshi Sasaki + Associates. The architects were inspired by both the human and urban scale, creating a structure with unusual proportions designed for both intimate comfort and spacious openness. The design is based on two different dimensional scales: a narrow width of 1.55 meters, which promotes a feeling of human closeness and coziness, and a soaring eight-meter ceiling, which creates a sense of openness and reflects the scale of the surrounding urban streetscape. These two scales coexist within the home, with different floors loosely connected to encourage movement and interaction. The interior is arranged across platforms that are staggered along a spiral staircase, allowing inhabitants to share the same space even when in different rooms. The house features a striking dark exterior clad in red cedar planks, giving it a minimalist and private appearance with few windows. In contrast, the interior is finished in light Falcata plywood, creating a bright and airy atmosphere. Natural light enters the house primarily through clerestory windows that wrap around the top of the walls, filtering soft light into the interior throughout the day. The T-shaped structure was developed with a unique joint pillar-and-beam system to create a new way of living within the traditional Japanese dimensional framework.

RESIDENTIAL | Renovation | Located in Biddeford, Maine, the Hills Beach home was a renovation project by architects and builders Woodhull, completed for founder Caleb Johnson's own family. Rather than demolishing the original "beach shack," the team embarked on a thoughtful transformation that respected the structure's origins and the coastal neighborhood. The project revitalized the home with locally sourced materials and handcrafted elements, creating a unique and character-filled home. The small, 850-square-foot footprint required maximizing every detail and space. Inspired by the surrounding landscape, the home features a material palette of natural wood, stone, concrete, and glass. Unpainted plaster was left to highlight the patina of reused materials. Inside, the kitchen became a centerpiece of craftsmanship, built by a master woodworker using joinery-based techniques without plywood or hardware. The house also includes subtle nods to local history, such as a hand-carved mermaid backsplash. Angled windows were strategically placed to frame views of the water, and the compact, energy-efficient design ensures all-day comfort.

EXPERIMENTAL | Tower | Built in 2019, the Tower for Meditation and Views is a small, off-the-ground structure located within a secluded artist community in Huzhou, Zhejiang, China. Designed by the architecture firm Jumping House Lab, the 12-square-meter tower was conceived as a serene escape from the world, providing artists with a tranquil space for contemplation and observation. The building offers three distinct vistas: a broad view of a paddy field, an upward view of the sky for meditation, and a narrow horizontal view of a yard with pine trees and ponds. To create these different experiences, the architects designed a 3.2 by 3.8-meter wooden structure that is split by an interior wall, dividing the space into an "inward" half for quiet meditation and an "outward" half for taking in the views. The interior is thus separated into a bright and a shady area, each fostering a different atmosphere. The overall appearance and layout of the tower were dictated by the views it frames. The project was completed while the surrounding community was still undergoing renovation, with the project being 80% finished. The architects noted that this flaw reflected the distance between the ideal and reality, but also contributed to the tower's status as an absolute spiritual space. The design is simple, elevated, and intended to help visitors reconnect with nature.

RESIDENTIAL | Tiny Home | Designed by Rhode Island-based 3six0 Architecture, the Cottage in Woods is a small retreat for an artist located in Foster, Rhode Island, completed around 2013. The project site was a former rural farmland, now covered in dense woods and scattered rock outcroppings, and was selected to provide an escape from urban loft living. The 25' x 25' x 25' cubical volume is articulated with sharp angles, likened to a faceted stone, which serve to shed water and shape entries, allowing the structure to blend with the rocky landscape. The interior and exterior are connected through large sliding doors that open onto a sequence of Alaska yellow cedar decks and strategically placed boulders. These outdoor spaces expand the cottage's footprint, overlooking a small meadow and a historic fieldstone wall. The cottage's interior is a simple and uncluttered space, featuring Douglas fir built-in elements such as an entry bench, a desk with bookshelves, and kitchen counters with open firewood storage. White pine and Douglas fir boards line the walls and ceilings, while cabinets and window frames are finished with grey enamel paint. A unique feature is the sleeping nook, which connects to a 14-foot-tall pyramidal shaft leading to a skylight, offering a view of the night sky.

CULTURAL | Exhibition Center | The constant relation between antonyms is an inspiration to the new greenhouses in central Shanghai. The project is highly influenced by the presence of an historical reference: the old steel workshop, that once was an important catalyst of the city‘s industrial growth. This duality of old and new invokes the “Yin and Yang” ideology that is seen in the many different faces of the project. Tradition and Future, Industrial and Natural, Orthogonal and Organic, Static and Movement, Silence and Sound, Land and Water, Steel and Glass, synchronize into a gracious gesture, building up unique moments for the visitors. As an important symbol for the whole area, the Steel Workshop plays a vital role in combination with the new elements: it sets the tone and metric for the exhibition halls to be develop. The geometries grow organically in between and around the strict existing grid, performing a vivid and natural silhouette that respects and never touches the remaining framework. The multiple curvatures generated by the reaction from the Organic towards the Orthogonal and Static principles, provide a sinuous envelope that has all to do with nature. Different natural scenarios and climates are recreated inside the four single-glazed pavilions, forecasting a lively journey to the visitors. They can experience the canyons, sandy dunes and plants from the Desert Pavilion.

The project is highly influenced by the presence of an historical reference: the old steel workshop, that once was an important catalyst of the city‘s industrial growth. This duality of old and new invokes the “Yin and Yang” ideology that is seen in the many different faces of the project. Tradition and Future, Industrial and Natural, Orthogonal and Organic, Static and Movement, Silence and Sound, Land and Water, Steel and Glass, synchronize into a gracious gesture, building up unique moments for the visitors. As an important symbol for the whole area, the Steel Workshop plays a vital role in combination with the new elements: it sets the tone and metric for the exhibition halls to be develop. The geometries grow organically in between and around the strict existing grid, performing a vivid and natural silhouette that respects and never touches the remaining framework. The multiple curvatures generated by the reaction from the Organic towards the Orthogonal and Static principles, provide a sinuous envelope that has all to do with nature. Different natural scenarios and climates are recreated inside the four single-glazed pavilions, forecasting a lively journey to the visitors. They can experience the canyons, sandy dunes and plants from the Desert Pavilion.

HOSPITALITY | House | The House in Zbraslav, also referred to as the Zigzag House, is a family residence in the Czech Republic that was rebuilt by Martin Neruda Architektura after being damaged by fire. Completed in 2021, the project involved saving a single-family house on a corner plot in the village of Baně, southeast of Zbraslav. The fire had destroyed the ceilings and roof, but the architectural alterations honored the original footprint and volume of the historic village home. The renovation introduced a new, striking element: a hidden, underground garage integrated into the site's redesign. Above the garage, a green slope was created, enhancing the existing garden and blending seamlessly into the landscape. In addition to preserving the core structure, the reconstruction added a new glazed vestibule and terrace, which significantly updated the house's connection to its surroundings.

RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | Following a devastating wildfire, self-taught designer and builder Jeff Waldman, along with his partner Molly, was inspired to construct the 198-square-foot Saltbox Cabin as a more modest replacement for their previous home. The project, documented on his YouTube channel, is a modern and humble take on a basic alpine hut. The 12x16.5-foot cabin was built by Waldman and Molly using salvaged and site-milled redwood from trees killed in the fire, as well as some new materials. The cabin features a simple layout with an open kitchen, a small bedroom, and a bathroom. Its defining saltbox roof is low-slung and provides a high ceiling on the taller side, creating a cozy yet spacious feel inside. The design also incorporates unconventional, exposed framing and post-and-beam construction. A portion of the $17,400 material cost went toward salvaged old-growth redwood and modern French doors and sliding windows. The project's philosophy focuses on sustainability, community, and skill-building. The use of fire-killed and salvaged wood highlights a regenerative approach to building. Waldman has shared the knowledge gained from the build on his "Elevated Spaces" platforms, including a build guide and video, to encourage others to take on similar projects.

CULTURAL | Pavilion | The Pavilion was created as a temporary mobile space for experimental performances of the Bavarian State Opera in Munich. The dismountable structure offers place for 300 sitting or 700 standing spectators and can be transported in normal freight containers. Its modular construction makes it possible to remount the pavilion on any site and to adapt it to particular needs. Mass, hence weight, are the decisive criteria for good acoustics. The conception of the Pavilion 21 MINI Opera Space therefore had to overcome a contradiction: to design a lightweight construction, which could be dis- and re-assembled quickly, but which at the same time meets the acoustical requirements of a concert hall. How do you create the conditions for good acoustics despite a reduction of mass? The first drawings already show the basic idea of the Pavilion, which is to introduce architectural elements that are on the one hand the spatial transformation of sound sequences, and on the other hand develop sound reflecting and absorbing properties through their pyramid-like shape: a soundscape. Acoustics & Soundscaping The strategy to achieve soundscaping comprises three steps: Firstly, to realize the shielding effect between plaza and street, secondly, to shape the geometry of the Pavilion in such a way that the surface deflects noise, and thirdly, to design the surface of the Pavilion in such a way that it reflects and absorbs sound. In cooperation with the London based acoustic consultant Arup, acoustic pyramids have been developed for the façade, which rise in all directions and – thanks to their special geometry – absorb and reflect the street noise to create a ​‘zone of silence’. Beside this function, the pyramids also have an effect on the vibration of the structural elements and therefore on the acoustic in the concert hall. The design of the pyramids resulted from the abstraction of music into spatial form. As a starting point, a sequence from the song ​“Purple Haze” by Jimi Hendrix and a passage from ​“Don Giovanni” by Mozart were transcribed. Through the analysis of frequency sections from these pieces of music and in combination with the computer generated 3D model, the sequences are translated into pyramidal ​“spike constructions” by means of parametric ​“scripting”. Music becomes space. The idea to combine architecture with music is not new. Also the term soundscaping is not new. Like landscaping, it involves the notion of ​“Gestalt”. Soundscaping originates in the 1940s and designates a method of composing. In architecture, Le Corbusier and Iannis Xenakis together engaged in the topic of music and architecture when they thought about three-dimensional implementation of musical compositions (Le Corbusier’s Philips Pavilion and the partition of the windows in La Tourette). Light Installation Towards the street and Marstall square, the outer shell is detached from the tilted double-layer façade and opens an interstitial space that offers a weather-protected lounge and bar area. The accessible, crystal-like double skin, transcribed music, forms a transitional space from the plaza to the entrance and into the main performance space. A folded and cantilevered roof emphasizes the main entrance. The architectural design of the inner space is complemented and enhanced by an installation in the lounge developed by cat‑x. The complex multiple projection not only illuminates the interior of the lounge, but also interacts with the sounds coming from the concert hall. These light movements change the perception of the space, the architecture seems to move. | https://static.wixstatic.com/media/9756fd_737a361eedbd4491ba703ceb4310024c~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1800,h_1200,al_c,q_90/Pavilion%2021%20MINI%20Opera%20Space%20(1).jpg 1/0 Private Public Pin Pin 0 x Appreciators 0 3D models Product 3.2K Views 0 Appreciated Appreciate Please login to appreciate Pavilion 21 MINI Opera Space Arnulfstraße 60, 80335 München, 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: CULTURAL Pavilion Project Type: Post Type: Building Country: Germany Duccio Malagamba Photographers: Architects: Coop Himmelb(l)au Area: - Year: 2010 City: Munich Construction: Client The Free State of Bavaria Description: the architects Text description by The Pavilion was created as a temporary mobile space for experimental performances of the Bavarian State Opera in Munich.

RESIDENTIAL | Mobile | The NATURE POD is an eco-friendly and mobile wooden cabin designed by the Swedish company Vagabond Haven. Constructed from ThermoWood pine, which is known for its robustness and durability, the cabin can function as a mobile home, a garden office, or a wilderness retreat. Its compact size, measuring 6 meters long, 2.3 meters wide, and 2.5 meters high, means it can be moved easily on a flatbed truck or a custom trailer. The design is unique for its frameless construction, where four inner wall segments support the outer ThermoWood walls. This method reduces the amount of material, assembly time, weight, and cost. For the roof, durable and easy-to-install asphalt shingles are used. Large panorama windows in the bedroom and smaller operable windows in the kitchen and bathroom blur the line between indoor and outdoor living and create a feeling of openness in the 14-square-meter space. The NATURE POD can be customized with various features, including a kitchen and bathroom for full self-sufficiency. Off-grid living is possible with the addition of solar panels for electricity, a dry toilet, and water tanks. For heating in colder climates, options include radiators, floor heating, or a wood stove. The interior has a minimalist, natural aesthetic, with the option to customize exterior and interior colors and finishes.

Constructed from ThermoWood pine, which is known for its robustness and durability, the cabin can function as a mobile home, a garden office, or a wilderness retreat. Its compact size, measuring 6 meters long, 2.3 meters wide, and 2.5 meters high, means it can be moved easily on a flatbed truck or a custom trailer. The design is unique for its frameless construction, where four inner wall segments support the outer ThermoWood walls. This method reduces the amount of material, assembly time, weight, and cost. For the roof, durable and easy-to-install asphalt shingles are used. Large panorama windows in the bedroom and smaller operable windows in the kitchen and bathroom blur the line between indoor and outdoor living and create a feeling of openness in the 14-square-meter space. The NATURE POD can be customized with various features, including a kitchen and bathroom for full self-sufficiency. Off-grid living is possible with the addition of solar panels for electricity, a dry toilet, and water tanks. For heating in colder climates, options include radiators, floor heating, or a wood stove. The interior has a minimalist, natural aesthetic, with the option to customize exterior and interior colors and finishes.

RESIDENTIAL | Summer House | Built in 2014, the Qvarsebo Summerhouse, also known as the Summer House in Dalarna, is an 85-square-meter minimalist retreat located in Västerbyn, Sweden, and designed by architect Leo Qvarsebo for himself and his children. The house, with its striking triangular profile, was conceived as a "treehouse for adults" and is nestled between a forest and a cow pasture, with panoramic views toward a nearby lake. To maximize the benefits of its scenic location, the house features three distinct levels, with a bay window on each to frame different views and create a sense of discovery as one climbs the internal stairs. The open-plan, split-level design creates a hierarchy of spaces, from the more communal living room and kitchen on the ground floor to the more intimate sleeping areas on the upper levels. The top-floor bedroom is designed to feel like a sleeping nest under the stars. A playful and interactive element of the design is the steeply inclined facade, which serves as a climbing wall, complete with a rope hanging from the peak of the roof for access. A large timber deck extends from the front of the house, offering additional living space with swings and lounges. The house was built entirely from wood, with a frame of wooden beams forming the A-frame structure. The exterior is clad in Swedish pine treated with a grey-hued pigmented wood protection from SiOO:X on the gables and a green "forest" colored treatment on other sides to help it blend with the woodland. Inside, the walls, ceiling, and floors are lined with birch plywood salvaged from a dismantled puzzle factory, and custom-built furniture was crafted from plywood to suit the split-level design.

RESIDENTIAL | House | A small garden pavilion on the foundations of the original wooden hut stands in a gardening colony near the Vltava. The building has a simple mission - to provide a covered refuge while staying in the garden with the possibility of emergency sleep.

RESIDENTIAL | Summer House | Located at Følle Strand in Rønde, Denmark, the Strandvejen 35 project is a tiny summer house designed by Jesper Kusk Arkitekter, completed in 2023. The structure is a modern, yet respectful interpretation of the area's traditional fisherman's cabins, and it was created with an ethos of high quality and ingenuity within a compact 46-square-meter footprint. To maximize the small space, the design features three wood-clad, gabled volumes arranged in an offset layout, which allows the home to accommodate up to seven people. The design prioritizes a connection with the surrounding nature and a sense of spaciousness despite its modest size. Expansive glazing and strategically placed skylights draw daylight deep into the interior, while large windows frame views of the scenic Kalø Bay. To blur the line between indoor and outdoor living, the architect incorporated features like built-in benches and sofas, which create intimate zones for experiencing the natural environment even during less-than-ideal weather. High ceilings in every room also contribute to an illusion of greater volume by providing ample cubic meters of air within the home. Further enhancing the functionality of the compact design, sliding doors are used between the building volumes to flexibly divide the interior spaces, allowing for an adaptable flow that can accommodate family togetherness or quiet solitude. The primary material used is wood, a renewable and easily workable resource. The facades and roof are clad in Danish oak, which harmonizes with the coastal setting. The project's commitment to low emissions was confirmed by a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) calculation conducted by engineers, which placed the construction within Denmark's voluntary low-emission category.

RESIDENTIAL | Retreat | Tucked away in a serene forest in Quebec's Eastern Townships, Habitat Sélénite by Naturehumaine is a compact, wellness-focused retreat that draws inspiration from the crystalline mineral of the same name. Designed for a self-builder couple, the 1,296-square-foot cabin (36x36 feet) combines ecological architecture, universal accessibility, and a resort-like experience into a single, cohesive design. The structure is defined by its striking, all-white exterior, which evokes the tranquil, restful properties of the selenite mineral. The architects created this effect with white-painted wooden planks and matching metal roof panels. The geometry of the roof, designed as two inverted crystal-like prisms, gives the structure its unique, modern form while referencing the mineral's crystalline nature. Square skylights punctuate the peaks of these roofs, flooding the interior with natural light and emphasizing the home's sense of balance and symmetry. In addition to its aesthetic vision, the project prioritized universal accessibility to ensure the space is functional and safe for as many users as possible, addressing a common limitation in vacation properties. The interior is a haven of wellness, featuring amenities like a steam bath, sauna, cold bath, and a salt room. A home automation system controls lighting synchronized to the circadian rhythm and can even launch guided meditation sessions. The monochromatic white palette and high ceilings in key areas, such as the living room and bathroom, amplify the peaceful and restful atmosphere. Sustainability was a key consideration in the build, with the clients opting for healthy, local materials like hemp wool for insulation. To enhance the sense of seclusion and wellness, a Faraday cage was installed to block electromagnetic waves, catering to those with electro-sensitivity.

HOSPITALITY | Cabin | Built by Paris-based Littow Architectes, Majamaja is a village of prefabricated, off-grid eco-cabins located in the Helsinki archipelago, Finland. The project was initiated by Finnish architect Pekka Littow, drawing inspiration from the traditional and minimalist building style of the local archipelago, as well as the harmony between humans and nature. The first phase of the project, including the Majamaja Wuorio Eco-Cabin, was completed in 2021. The cabins are designed for short-term rentals and offer a low-impact getaway for visitors. Each Majamaja cabin operates completely off the grid, equipped with a "patented autonomous sanitary-kitchen module". This module integrates a closed-circuit wastewater treatment system with energy storage. The water autonomy is achieved through the collection of rainwater and seawater, which is then purified. Energy is provided by a system that stores power from solar panels and wind. The prefabricated wooden units are designed for minimal environmental impact and can be assembled on remote sites without heavy machinery. The design is compact and features space-optimizing elements, such as multi-purpose and fold-away furniture, to maximize the small footprint. Expansive, floor-to-ceiling windows and large decks blur the boundary between the interior and the archipelago views. The interior uses a mix of dark and light wood to create a dynamic yet understated aesthetic.

RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | Hemp House by earthtopeoplestudio is an eco-conscious rehabilitation of an abandoned 1930s cabin in the Schoharie Valley, New York, led by Brittany and Jordan Weller, who subsequently founded the design studio Earth to People. The couple originally intended to build a new straw-bale house but instead chose a mindful, preservation-focused approach to revive the existing, dilapidated structure. The renovation was performed on a modest budget, prioritizing the use of locally sourced materials and salvaged items from the property itself, including fieldstone. The design philosophy focused on respecting the past to build a better, more sustainable future, challenging conventional, modern building standards. Materials were selected based on their regional availability and sustainable qualities. For instance, Eastern White Pine and Eastern Cedar were used for their proximity, reducing transport-related environmental impact. Charring the exterior timber using a slow, meditative, on-site process—rather than automated, high-heat methods—protected the wood naturally against decay, insects, and weather, while providing fire resistance. A final coat of natural tung oil was applied with assistance from the owners' children. The home's most significant sustainable upgrade, and the source of its name, is the addition of zero-carbon, plant-based hemp insulation. The insulation was applied in the form of hempcrete, a breathable material made from the woody core of the hemp plant mixed with a lime binder. This natural mixture regulates interior temperature and humidity by absorbing and releasing moisture, reducing the risk of mold and eliminating the need for plastic or vapor barriers. Inside, the cabin features a warm and inviting atmosphere, in contrast to its weathered exterior.

The couple originally intended to build a new straw-bale house but instead chose a mindful, preservation-focused approach to revive the existing, dilapidated structure. The renovation was performed on a modest budget, prioritizing the use of locally sourced materials and salvaged items from the property itself, including fieldstone. The design philosophy focused on respecting the past to build a better, more sustainable future, challenging conventional, modern building standards. Materials were selected based on their regional availability and sustainable qualities. For instance, Eastern White Pine and Eastern Cedar were used for their proximity, reducing transport-related environmental impact.
