RESIDENTIAL | Studio | Located in the Berhampore suburb of Wellington, New Zealand, the Herald Garden Studio is a 183-square-foot timber-framed structure designed by Parsonson Architects to provide additional, flexible living space for a family in a compact Victorian cottage. Sited at the southern end of the property, the studio was conceived as a multi-purpose retreat, capable of functioning as a children's playroom, a quiet study, or extra guest accommodation as the family's young sons grow. The design is sensitive to its surroundings, with the studio sitting lightly on timber piles to minimize its impact and allow the deck to wrap around an existing olive tree. A sheltered, triangulated pergola and deck connect the new studio to the main house both physically and visually, stitching the two structures together while reinforcing the connection to the lush garden. The studio faces north to maximize natural light throughout the day, while the pergola helps to screen the interior from high summer sun. Inside, the material palette is raw, simple, and eco-conscious. The structure and internal linings are made entirely of wood, including zero-formaldehyde Strandboard finished with natural WOCA oil. This choice of materials lends a minimalist interior and aligns with the project's sustainable principles. The compact floor plan includes a main living area, a tucked-away bathroom and storage space at the rear, and a mezzanine level for sleeping, playing, or storage. The Herald Garden Studio demonstrates how clever design on a tiny scale can support sustainable urban infill, allowing a family to stay in their beloved neighborhood rather than moving to the suburbs for more space.

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

RESIDENTIAL | Modular House | The Ecohouse Module S22, designed by Ilya Shevchenko for the architectural bureau Strawmodul, is a prefabricated and modular tiny house series focused on eco-friendly, sustainable living. The project was developed as a "growing" home, allowing for phased construction and future expansion from the initial 22-square-meter module to a larger residence of up to 100 square meters. The initial prototype, completed in 2019, is situated on the rocky coast of Crimea. The core of the Ecohouse S22's sustainability is its unique construction method, which uses prefabricated straw panels. These panels are made from compressed straw bales set within a strong wooden frame. This method allows the house kit to be delivered in pieces and erected quickly, typically within two to three days. The use of straw as insulation provides excellent thermal properties, exceeding the heat-insulating performance of traditional wood or brick walls and aligning with European passive house standards for minimal heat loss. As straw is a renewable natural resource, this construction method is eco-friendly, utilizes what would otherwise be considered agricultural waste, and generates minimal construction waste. The design of the Crimea prototype features a strong, cantilevered terrace that projects from the dense vegetation, offering elevated views of the coast and surrounding mountains. To protect against prying eyes, the main facade with its wide window is hidden from passersby. Inside, the two-story module is compactly arranged, with a hallway and bathroom on the first floor and a quieter bedroom area on the second. The house is also equipped with solar panels, designed to provide a significant portion of its energy needs.

HOSPITALITY | Cabin | Built and designed by UK-based Koto Design and Koto Living, the Ash Cabin is one of three bespoke cabins that make up the "Trees at Tughall" boutique hotel, located on the Northumberland coast of England and completed around 2022. Situated in a secluded wood on Tughall Grange Farm, the cabin retreat draws inspiration from the region's traditional beach shacks and fishermen's sheds. The cabins, including Ash, Hawthorn, and Willow, were designed with a minimalist, Scandinavian-Japanese aesthetic, often referred to as "Japandi". The 300-square-foot cabins were constructed using sustainable and carbon-neutral prefabricated modular methods. The exterior of each cabin is clad in black-stained Welsh spruce, which allows the structures to blend seamlessly into the woodland surroundings. Inside, the angular, light-filled spaces are finished with poplar plywood on the walls and ceilings, while the floors are made of locally sourced solid ash. Large windows and double doors provide expansive views of the wild meadow and surrounding nature, fostering a sense of connection with the outdoors. The interiors also feature minimalist details like a king-size bed, a wood-burning stove, and a luxurious en-suite bathroom. Covered porches extend the living space into the natural environment, providing a sheltered area for experiencing the landscape. The Ash Cabin itself is nestled among ancient ash trees, which create a dappled light effect on the building's exterior. The design of each cabin prioritizes a distraction-free experience, inviting guests to engage with the natural environment rather than with modern technology. This focus on emotional minimalism and low-impact building is a hallmark of Koto's design philosophy.

RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | The Soorts Cabin, designed by formalocal, is an extension to an existing house in Soorts-Hossegor, France, completed in 2023. Situated in a garden with pine and cork oak trees, the 43-square-meter cabin was conceived as a detached bedroom raised on stilts. This elevated position and the construction method were chosen to minimize the environmental impact on the existing vegetation and soil. The structure was built using glued laminated timber frames and screw piles, allowing for a lightweight and non-invasive foundation. This approach facilitated construction with minimal disturbance to the natural surroundings. The cabin is part of a larger project, which also included a renovation of the main Soorts House, reflecting a sensitive, site-specific approach to architecture. The design creates a harmonious relationship between the new structure and the natural landscape, offering a secluded and elevated living space among the trees.

RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | The PV Cabin is a minimalist, wooden refuge designed by Chilean architect Lorena Troncoso-Valencia. Completed in 2016, the project was created as a temporary dwelling for a couple of mountain climbers in the rugged landscape of Las Trancas, Pinto, in south-central Chile. Located within a wooded area accessed by a winding road, the small, 24-square-meter cabin was strategically placed in a natural clearing to ensure access to sun, natural light, and ventilation. Given the limited ground space, Troncoso-Valencia addressed the need for more room by expanding the cabin vertically with a double-height interior, creating extra space where footprint was not an option. Built on wooden piles, the structure is raised approximately 1.5 meters off the ground to protect it from snow during the winter. The exterior is clad in a durable wooden shell designed to withstand the harsh mountain elements, and its asymmetrical roof is shaped to facilitate snow drainage. Inside, the first floor contains a living area, kitchen, bathroom, and a small workspace, while a floating sleeping loft is accessible by a ladder.

Completed in 2016, the project was created as a temporary dwelling for a couple of mountain climbers in the rugged landscape of Las Trancas, Pinto, in south-central Chile. Located within a wooded area accessed by a winding road, the small, 24-square-meter cabin was strategically placed in a natural clearing to ensure access to sun, natural light, and ventilation. Given the limited ground space, Troncoso-Valencia addressed the need for more room by expanding the cabin vertically with a double-height interior, creating extra space where footprint was not an option. Built on wooden piles, the structure is raised approximately 1.5 meters off the ground to protect it from snow during the winter. The exterior is clad in a durable wooden shell designed to withstand the harsh mountain elements, and its asymmetrical roof is shaped to facilitate snow drainage. Inside, the first floor contains a living area, kitchen, bathroom, and a small workspace, while a floating sleeping loft is accessible by a ladder. The interior is wrapped in light-colored wood, creating a warm, contemporary aesthetic. This design transforms the minimalist shelter into a compact but comfortable space for short-term living, emphasizing the surrounding natural beauty through its large windows.

CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURE | Sports Stadium | Optus Stadium is a cutting-edge sports stadium that hosts cricket, Australian rules football, and soccer events. This modern and attractive stadium designed by Cox Architecture and HASSELL, features a distinctive lightweight roof that is made from a lightweight ETFE membrane that provides an unobstructed view of the surrounding Swan River and Perth skyline. The stadium also has an innovative LED lighting system that can change colors to reflect different events, creating a colorful and memorable experience for fans. Optus Stadium redefines stadia and stadium park design. Completed in January 2018, the project was almost a decade in the making. Hassell, COX and HKS Sport and Entertainment, as part of the Westadium consortium, won a competition with the West Australian Government to design the publicly-funded stadium – which sits adjacent the Perth CBD. Set on the banks of the Swan River, spanning 30-hectares, Perth’s Optus Stadium is the third-largest stadium in Australia. A fabric roof covers 85-percent of seats, which ring the pitch in a steep, bowl-shaped area that maximises views from every angle.Every design decision for the multi-purpose, 60,000-seat stadium was to meet one requirement – an unsurpassed visitor experience every time, every event. The ‘fans first’ approach goes past just those entering the gates but references the community who were involved in the creation of this uniquely Western Australian structure. Combining an appreciation of the site’s history and culture with the sporting prowess of the city and State, Optus Stadium is new-age icon for WA and beyond. The Hassell, COX, HKS design acknowledges the unique sporting, cultural and Indigenous heritage. This extends to the surrounding Stadium Park landscape designed by Hassell which provides spectacular vistas to the Swan River and city. Revitalising what was once the waste ground of the city into a vibrant new public park, the development reconnects the city to its environmental and cultural links with the river. | https://static.wixstatic.com/media/9756fd_5ff1d4066b414bf1aac34a7930d52543~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1216,h_810,al_c,q_85/Optus%20Stadium.jpg 1/0 Private Public Pin Pin 0 x Appreciators 0 3D models Product 2.7K Views 0 Appreciated Appreciate Please login to appreciate Optus Stadium Optus Stadium, Victoria Park Drive, Burswood WA, Australia Source: Published on Sep 26, 2023 by: Architectural Designer Grace Lee Premium Member More Buildings from Australia Facts: Up Up Architecture Office Cox Architecture Australia Category: CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURE Sports Stadium Project Type: Post Type: Building Country: Australia Peter Bennets, John Gollings Photographers: Architects: Cox Architecture and HASSELL Area: 60,000 m2 Year: 2017 City: Perth Construction: Multiplex Client Description: the architects Text description by Optus Stadium is a cutting-edge sports stadium that hosts cricket, Australian rules football, and soccer events.

We are By the Many, For the Many. COX seeks to do more with less, tapping into resourceful Australian culture to build value through ingenuity. We strive for quality through our beliefs in equality and opportunity. We embed culture in our designs, taking time to listen and understand cultural context and social impacts. We continuously seek the brightest minds to innovate design, process, and typology. We welcome collaboration, from both traditional and disruptive sources, should it have the potential to contribute to better design. Our history in Australian architecture began with the transformative Tocal Agricultural College in New South Wales. Epitomising the renowned Sydney School, the project had a deep and sensitive understanding of context and place, blended with honest and expressive structure and craft. This has informed the work of COX ever since. This history has established key principles we continue to prioritise today. One being the planning of cities and design of buildings that are adaptable to change – cultural, social, technological, and economic. The other is the creation of sustainable spaces – environmental strategies that are embedded, rather than added, to our designs. Today, we have offices across Australia and New Zealand, working on projects of international significance. Our team brings experience and enthusiasm to every new project and client. Our projects demonstrate a dedication to research as well as an ability to work with clients to deliver successful design solutions on time and budget. What we bring to our work transcends design. Our innovative technology and structural design solutions place emphasis and value on the design of core elements. Our structures designed as destinations to bring people together to share experiences that are unique to their time and place. source: coxarchitecture.com.au Category Sports Stadium Post Type Building Project Type CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURE Country Australia Year 2017 Area 60,000 m2 Client Photographers Peter Bennets, John Gollings www.zhiig.com Premium Member Architectural Designer Grace Lee Collaborate 3D Design Suggest Materials Suggest Product Add Request Design © ZHIG Team Materials Suggested by Manufacturers: Model Full Name Details Details View more

RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | Nestled in a pine forest on a secluded lake an hour's drive from Helsinki, Villa Rauhanniemi is the minimalist vacation home of interior architect Joanna Laajisto and her family. Completed in 2020, the 90-square-meter cabin was thoughtfully designed to minimize its impact on the natural environment and to foster a deep connection with the surrounding wild forest and water. The structure of Villa Rauhanniemi, a wood and glass building, is elevated on a platform that both provides stability and serves as a wraparound balcony, allowing the family to live as much outdoors as possible. To construct the home with minimal disruption to the forest, large machinery was not permitted on-site, and materials had to be carried in by hand. The trees removed during construction were repurposed to create the outdoor benches. Large panoramic windows were incorporated to blur the line between interior and exterior, framing spectacular views of the lake and ensuring that each room feels spacious despite the home's compact size. Reflecting Laajisto's Scandinavian design philosophy of not cluttering the world with unnecessary things, the interior is crafted from a warm, natural material palette that includes Douglas fir, light pine, and oak. Wide oak floorboards provide a sense of refined rusticity, while grey marble countertops and a fireplace in the living area add warmth and sophistication. The kitchen was intentionally kept simple and stripped back to maintain the character of a cabin rather than a residential home. In a nod to a classic Finnish feature, the house includes a sauna, which, along with the bathroom, is adorned with deep red tiles in a herringbone pattern. Villa Rauhanniemi was also conceived with sustainability in mind. Laajisto and her family own the adjacent plot of land, which they maintain as a wild forest and a carbon sink to balance the home's footprint.

PUBLIC | Congress Center | Studio Libeskind completed this innovative convention center in time for the advent of cultural and diplomatic activities in 2015, when this small medieval town transformed into the European Capital of Culture. The City of Mons conceived the Congres Centre as a new architectural landmark, a key element in a plan for economic revitalization, and as a connector between the old and the new. From the light- steel viewing platform at the top, a visitor can see the 17th-century Beffroi tower, a UNESCO Heritage Site of Belgium, in the historic center of town, and a new train station designed by Santiago Calatrava in the newer neighborhood of “Grands Prés.” The Congres Centre’s cladding is open in a manner that gives texture and light to the bearing structure—ribbon concrete walls that ascend in a spiral. The lower walls are clad with vertical slats of unfinished robinia wood that echo the trees in a neighboring park.

The City of Mons conceived the Congres Centre as a new architectural landmark, a key element in a plan for economic revitalization, and as a connector between the old and the new. From the light- steel viewing platform at the top, a visitor can see the 17th-century Beffroi tower, a UNESCO Heritage Site of Belgium, in the historic center of town, and a new train station designed by Santiago Calatrava in the newer neighborhood of “Grands Prés.” The Congres Centre’s cladding is open in a manner that gives texture and light to the bearing structure—ribbon concrete walls that ascend in a spiral. The lower walls are clad with vertical slats of unfinished robinia wood that echo the trees in a neighboring park. The upper are clad with vertical bands of anodized aluminum that follow the curve of the wall. The ribbon walls allow for great flexibility of space, essential in a complex that houses a grand entrance hall, three auditoriums, a multi-purpose hall, conference rooms, offices, a restaurant, an underground parking and a green roof.

Our Studio is a collaboration of architects and designers that believe architecture is a practice of optimism. We approach our projects with the attitude that to make great places, you must believe in the future, but also remember the past. Studio Libeskind’s architecture emerges from the idea that a building should be expressive and reflect contemporary life. Innovation is at the core of our design process. We believe that bold design must be realized with sustainable technology and we strongly believe that the art of architecture lies in creating a maximum impact within the constraints of budgets and functionality. We know from experience that great architecture comes from working with great clients; however, architecture is a public art and we hold ourselves accountable not only to the client, but to the communities, and cities in which we build. Daniel and his partner Nina Libeskind established Studio Daniel Libeskind in Berlin, Germany, in 1989 after winning the competition to build the Jewish Museum Berlin. In February 2003, Studio Daniel Libeskind moved its headquarters from Berlin to New York City when Daniel Libeskind was selected as the master planner for the World Trade Center redevelopment. source: libeskind.com Category Congress Center Post Type Building Project Type PUBLIC Country Belgium Year 2015 Area 12,500 Client City of Mons 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

COMMERCIAL | Office building | The practice’s first office building in Russia, the RCC Headquarters in Ekaterinburg reimagines the conventional cellular office to set new standards in quality, comfort and flexibility. The 15-storey building’s innovative modular office units are enveloped in an energy efficient enclosure, which provides a distinctive symbol for the organisation. RCC is one of the world’s leading producers of copper and the triangulated form draws inspiration from the chemical structure of copper. The crown of the building integrates RCC’s new logo – a rebranding which has, in turn, been inspired by the architecture. The starting point for the office floors was to reinvent the headquarters as a ‘house for staff’ – instead of the conventional large, communal workspaces, the rooms are of a more intimate, domestic scale. The practice’s workplace consultancy group analysed the client’s operations and helped to devise the innovative modular system for these rooms. This was then developed with the in-house engineering teams to enable rapid construction and ensure ideal levels of natural daylight for concentrated work. Each two-storey module comprises a pair of offices, stacked one on top of the other – this is expressed externally through the double-storey cladding module. The modules are arranged in rows on either side of a central hallway, which functions as a breakout space, with lounge seating and views of the city through the glazed lift shaft. At level fifteen, the space is top-lit to create a flexible space for company-wide gatherings and events. The design targets a BREEAM Excellent rating. Responding to Ekaterinburg’s wide temperature range between seasons – often from +30C to -30C – the balance between solid and glazed areas is designed as a reaction to low level winter sun, while mitigating the heat of direct sunlight during the summer. The site overlooks the city and the recently landscaped riverbank. Extending this greenery to the base of the building, the footprint is shifted to create a private garden for staff. The landscaping echoes the cellular internal arrangement, with a sequence of ‘external rooms’ that provide peaceful spaces for staff to relax and eat lunch. Further facilities within the building include a video conference room and boardroom, meeting spaces and an executive dining area. | https://static.wixstatic.com/media/9756fd_247dd76e46e047ec937acef243df202e~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_2000,h_2000,al_c,q_90/RCC%20Headquarters%20(1).jfif 1/0 Private Public Pin Pin 0 x Appreciators 0 3D models Product 2.6K Views 0 Appreciated Appreciate Please login to appreciate RCC Headquarters Ulitsa Gor'kogo, 57, Yekaterinburg, Sverdlovskaya oblast', Russia, 620075 fosterandpartners.com Source: Published on Sep 26, 2023 by: Designer Victoria Lawrence ZHIG creator More Buildings from Russia Facts: Up Up Architecture Office Foster + Partners United Kingdom Category: COMMERCIAL Office building Project Type: Post Type: Building Country: Russia Photographers: Architects: Foster + Partners Area: 18,450 m2 Year: 2021 City: Ekaterinburg Construction: Salini Impregilo Client Diamond Building Description: the architects Text description by The practice’s first office building in Russia, the RCC Headquarters in Ekaterinburg reimagines the conventional cellular office to set new standards in quality, comfort and flexibility.

RESIDENTIAL | Studio | The green studio house, or Atelierhaus, designed by Ludwig Zitzelsberger in Bobingen, Germany, draws inspiration from traditional local barns. Completed in 2023 for an artist, the 124-square-meter timber structure is defined by its deep green exterior, which covers both the timber-board cladding and the roof membrane. The building is set on a site with heterogeneous buildings, from 1960s garages to the 16th-century Cosimosinian Castle. It is located at the end of a long driveway, providing a quiet, central focus for the property. The Atelierhaus features a straightforward, elongated plan, divided into living and studio spaces by a central core that contains the kitchenette and bathroom. Large facade openings, which can be fully closed by external sliding doors, allow the artist to transform the studio into a public gallery-like space or maintain privacy when needed. Inside, the walls and interior roof structure are painted white, providing a neutral backdrop for artistic work and maximizing natural light. The saw-textured folding of the exposed gabled roof remains visible in the studio, adding texture and shaping the atmosphere. The project's design prioritizes simple construction and materials, intended to create a sensual and harmonious space. The structure sits on a planed concrete ground slab, and the interior spaces feature simple, functional finishes. The thoughtful use of materials and a focus on both memory and function make the Atelierhaus a poetic space that is rooted in local tradition while being firmly built for the present.

RESIDENTIAL | Summer House | Situated in the northernmost point of Denmark, the Skagen Klitgård House by PAX Architects is a contemporary summer home that pays tribute to the town's architectural history. Designed for a multi-generational family, the 288-square-meter residence strikes a balance between open communal areas and secluded spaces for private retreat. The project was completed in 2021. The house draws inspiration from Skagen's "Black Period," when charred wood from shipwrecks was used to build houses. This history is echoed in the distinctive black-painted wooden exterior and a traditional thatched roof, which help the house blend seamlessly into the surrounding dunes and landscape. Inside, the layout is designed to foster a sense of togetherness while still allowing for solitude. The entire house is covered by a continuous pitched roof, creating a feeling of "being under one roof" regardless of where you are in the house. The heart of the home is a centrally located kitchen that overlooks the dining room, encouraging family gatherings. In contrast, more intimate spaces, such as a multi-purpose room behind the kitchen, have lower ceiling heights to create a more personal atmosphere. The interior features a warm, muted palette with extensive use of sustainably sourced Douglas fir wood from the Danish company Dinesen. Large windows and sliding glass doors blur the line between indoor and outdoor spaces, framing views of the landscape.

Their work, which includes residential, cultural, and urban planning projects, is characterized by a strong sense of place, identity, and intuition, and often involves reinterpreting traditional forms and materials for contemporary use. Notably, they designed the Skagen Klitgård House, a modern summer house inspired by the local 'Black Period' architecture, featuring a thatched roof and black-painted timber exterior. They are also committed to sustainability and creating long-lasting solutions for people and nature.

RESIDENTIAL | House | Rural House #01 by Cristobal Vial Arquitectos is a 60-square-meter holiday home completed in 2020 near Matanzas, Chile. The modest, modular, and solar-powered structure is positioned on a hilly, forested terrain to capture distant views of the Pacific Ocean and optimize passive solar gains. The house is organized into three separate volumes connected by a central circulation space. This longitudinal layout follows the slope of the site, with "cuts" between the volumes allowing for north-south sightlines across the property. The three modules accommodate distinct programmatic functions: Public area: Contains the open-plan living room, kitchen, and dining area. Children's private area: Houses the children's bedrooms. Adults' private area: Contains the master bedroom. A west-facing terrace runs along the length of the house, providing a direct connection to the outdoors from all three modules. A broken gable roof structure envelops the three volumes, creating a unified form that dialogues with the existing terrain. The entire structure is made of dimensioned wood, with composite pillars, beams, and trusses left exposed to serve as the building's final expression. Partitions are constructed from Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs), which offer high thermal performance. The exterior is clad in a rough horizontal shed siding. The walls and ceilings are finished with slotted plywood. The butterfly roof is equipped with photovoltaic panels, which supply all the electrical needs for the house. Elevated foundations minimize disturbance to the natural ground. The home's orientation and modular layout are designed to maximize sunlight and ventilation throughout the year.

RESIDENTIAL | House | When husband and wife and retired Metropolitan Opera performers sought to create a relaxing weekend escape in the Adirondacks they looked to PJCArchitecture, whose founder they had previously worked with both at the Opera and on the renovation of their former Upper West Side home. Following their directive to create a comfortable home that engages with its surroundings and provides plenty of space for entertaining, PJCA artfully constructed a three-story, 1910-square-foot house with two bedrooms and 2 1/2 bathrooms, as well as a separate 158-square foot boathouse with a third bedroom. As in the making of a dance or aria, the creation of this lakeside getaway was the result of a true collaborative process between the homeowners, design team, and local laborers.
