  • Kanata Cabin | Atelier l'Abri | ZHIG

    RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | The Kanata Cabin is a minimalist and pet-friendly rental retreat designed by Atelier l'Abri, located in Mont-Tremblant, Quebec. Commissioned by a client seeking a cozy, nature-immersed escape for themselves and their dog, the project blends functionality with an ultra-compact footprint. Affectionately dubbed "La Niche" (The Nook or Kennel) by its owners, the cabin's design features elements that evoke the image of a doghouse, such as its simple, gabled shape and arched doorway. Completed in 2024, the 60-square-meter (650-square-foot) cabin is distinguished by its understated elegance and minimalist design. It is part of the larger Kanata Tremblant estate, offering visitors a unique experience within a 3,000-acre wilderness area. An arched doorway frames views of the Boreal forest, while a high cathedral ceiling and natural light create a sense of spaciousness within the modest interior. The exterior is clad in horizontal wood slabs, which will weather to a silver tone over time, allowing the cabin to blend seamlessly with the surrounding deciduous forest. The use of 2x8 stud walls and bio-sourced cellulose fiber insulation also contributes to its energy efficiency and reduced carbon footprint. The design includes a screened porch, an efficient kitchen and living area, and an exterior hot tub, offering comfortable amenities for guests and their pets. The interior layout of the single-bedroom cottage is hyper-optimized for function and comfort. The open-plan living and kitchen area features an integrated arched nook within the kitchen cabinetry, providing a cozy space for both people and pets. Despite its size, the cabin feels airy and open thanks to the cathedral ceiling and strategic use of light. Refined interior details and custom furniture modules were included to maximize space while ensuring a refined experience.

Designed by Montreal-based architecture firm Atelier l'Abri and completed in 2022, the project consists of several minimalist cabins and communal structures spread across a rugged landscape. The core philosophy behind the design was to create a harmonious balance between nature and architecture, promoting a low-impact, intimate, and immersive experience for guests. The cabins at Territoire Charlevoix are a product of Atelier l'Abri's ongoing reflection on "our relationship with the territory and how to inhabit it". The five small, autonomous shelters offer comfortable immersion in nature, both in summer and winter. Their orientation and carefully chosen locations provide privacy and generous views of the natural surroundings. The cabins are elevated on slender legs, a design choice that minimizes their impact on the ground and avoids the need for heavy machinery for traditional foundations. This preserves the forest environment and limits deforestation. The design balances rusticity with modernity, using limited and efficient materials to create warm, functional spaces that encourage a slower pace of life. The Territoire Charlevoix project extends beyond just the sleeping cabins. The site also includes modules for communal areas, such as viewing platforms, shared kitchens, and a visitor center with a forest buvette. The facility operates year-round, allowing visitors to experience the region's diverse landscapes and activities throughout the seasons.

This off-grid, A-frame-inspired cabin offers a unique and minimalist nature immersion for two to four guests. The project was completed in 2019. The design reinterprets the classic A-frame cabin, popular in North America since the 1950s, with a modern, minimalist aesthetic. The iconic triangular shape creates a simple, sculptural structure while offering a functional and nature-oriented space. The off-grid shelter was built on-site by Atelier l'Abri's construction team, demonstrating a commitment to hands-on, site-specific design. The structure is clad in natural cedar board and batten, which will weather over time to a silvery hue, helping it blend into the forest. A covered terrace expands the living space, creating an ideal spot to enjoy the outdoors even when the weather is less favorable. The long roof is clad in steel, a nod to timeless, rural buildings. The minimalist and efficient interior makes clever use of space and maximizes natural light. Large bay windows offer uninterrupted views of the forest and the reservoir below, flooding the interior with light. An inclined ladder leads to a lofted bed area, which is suspended from the cathedral ceiling by steel rods, creating a focal point in the space. The ground floor includes a kitchenette and a dining table that can be converted into an additional bed, accommodating up to four people. A wood-burning stove provides warmth during the frosty Canadian winters, enhancing the cozy cabin atmosphere.

  • Simpson St ADU | Polyphon Architecture & Design, LLC | ZHIG

    RESIDENTIAL | ADU | The Simpson St ADU is a 575-square-foot Accessory Dwelling Unit in the Concordia neighborhood of Portland, Oregon, designed by Polyphon Architecture & Design. The project's unique solution was to place the ADU in front of the primary residence, which was set back far on the property, while still providing ample space for a driveway and access to the main house. The design addresses the narrow building envelope by using a split-level layout. This strategic arrangement allowed the ADU to maximize its internal space while remaining within the side setback requirements. The interior is efficiently organized to include distinct spaces for a bedroom, kitchen, and living area.

  • Vermont Cabin | Olson Kundig | ZHIG

    RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | Situated on a wooded hillside in Stowe, Vermont, the Vermont Cabin by Olson Kundig is a three-level retreat designed to maximize a small footprint while offering an immersive experience of its natural surroundings. The 750-square-foot cabin was designed by Tom Kundig of Olson Kundig for a family that has owned land in the area for generations. The compact, vertical design was intended to foster intimacy and connection, both with each other and with the surrounding forests of central Vermont. The cabin’s material palette is an elemental mix of steel, wood, and concrete, chosen to reflect the character of the wilderness. The exterior features panels of weathering steel, while the interior showcases exposed timber and poured concrete. This rugged, utilitarian aesthetic is balanced by the warmth of natural materials and strategic use of glazing. The layout places the main living spaces on the top floor to maximize views of the surrounding landscape, including the Green Mountains and Worcester Range. Large windows open up the living area, allowing residents to feel a sense of being among the trees. The vertical arrangement of the cabin’s 2,250 square feet is divided across three levels connected by a maple and steel staircase. The lowest level is nestled into the hillside and contains a garage that can double as a game room, as well as a single bedroom and powder room. The middle level includes two additional bedrooms and a bathroom, while the top floor features the main living area, kitchen, and dining space. This design creates a cozy and efficient framework for family life while maintaining a strong visual connection to the wilderness.

Conceived as a modern and low-impact alternative to camping, the huts were designed for a client who wanted to provide guest accommodations on the site of a former RV campground while allowing the landscape to return to its natural state. The cabins sit on oversized steel wheels, a creative solution to local zoning regulations that prohibited permanent structures but permitted RVs. This wheeled foundation elevates the huts a short distance above the meadow, allowing native grasses to grow underneath and minimizing the human footprint on the sensitive environment. The 200-square-foot cabins, completed in 2008, are essentially minimalist, steel-clad boxes on a steel and wood platform. Large, double-paned sliding glass doors at one end of each hut open onto a covered deck, extending the usable space into the outdoors. Inside, the material palette is simple, raw, and inexpensive, featuring cork and plywood left as natural as possible. A lopsided, inverted V-shaped roof with clerestory windows floats above the walls, bringing ample natural light into the compact interior. While the cabins offer a warm, sheltered, and low-tech space, showers and other communal facilities are located in a central barn, reinforcing the project's connection to camping.

  • House For a Drummer | Bornstein Lyckefors | ZHIG

    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.

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.

  • Turin Horse | Jorge Ramón Giacometti Taller de Arquitectura | ZHIG

    RESIDENTIAL | House | Built in 2019 in Calacalí, Ecuador, the Turin Horse is a 100-square-meter house designed by Jorge Ramón Giacometti Taller de Arquitectura. Situated on a slope inside the Pululahua Geobotanical Reserve, the project's main focus was to utilize natural and recycled materials to create a dwelling that would exist in harmony with its surroundings. The house's location provides expansive views of the crater, with vistas of the Chivo and Pondoña hills visible at sunset. The construction of the house started with a lightweight, braced wooden structure built on a concrete slab and a rear retaining wall. The walls were then filled using a technique of rammed and compacted earth mixed with hay bales, a system the architects referred to as "rammed earth with lost formwork". This creates sturdy, 12-centimeter-thick, earthquake-resistant walls. Recycled red pine staves were used to clad the exterior, while the roof was crafted from a lightweight layer of recycled triplex and asphalt resin. The interior of the house features a minimalist design with a focus on functionality and maximizing the connection to the outdoors. The large glass windows, a prominent feature of the design, allow for ample natural light and ventilation, while visually connecting the interior to the external landscape. The house was recognized for its use of sustainable and local materials, reflecting an eco-conscious approach to modern architecture.

  • Whitetail Woods Camper Cabins | HGA Architects and Engineers | ZHIG

    CAMPING | Cabin | The Whitetail Woods Regional Park Camper Cabins, designed by HGA Architects and Engineers, are a collection of three distinctive rental cabins located in the 456-acre Whitetail Woods Regional Park in Farmington, Minnesota. The project was developed as part of the initial phase of the park's master plan and aimed to create accessible, affordable, and restorative overnight accommodations for park visitors. Inspired by the concept of a treehouse, the cabins are elevated on wooded hillsides, with access provided by bridges that connect directly from adjacent hiking and ski trails. Designed to blend seamlessly with the natural environment, the cabins feature natural cedar cladding and are oriented to maximize views of the forest and prairie. Each cabin offers sleeping space for up to six people, with a combination of bunk beds and daybeds. While they do not have running water, the cabins are equipped with electricity, heating, and lighting, allowing for comfortable year-round use. Amenities include a picnic table and fire ring outside, while shared restroom facilities are located nearby. The design emphasizes a connection to nature, encouraging guests to enjoy the peaceful surroundings with limited modern distractions. The project has received significant recognition, including a 2016 American Architectural Award sponsored by the Chicago Athenaeum and the European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies. This award acknowledged the innovative design that integrates with the wooded site while making camping accessible to a wider audience, including those with special access needs. The cabins have been a popular addition to the park, with reservations often needing to be made well in advance.

  • Cabin in Leningrad | Aleksey Uljanochkin | ZHIG

    RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | The Cabin in Leningrad is a tiny, barn-style dwelling designed by Russian designer and architect Aleksey Uljanochkin. Located in the rural Leningrad province of Russia, the project explores modern, minimalistic living within a compact, year-round cabin. The cabin measures 45 square meters (484 square feet) and includes an additional 18 square meters (200 square feet) of terrace space. The design features a modern, clean aesthetic, utilizing monochromatic black and natural wood materials. This helps the cabin blend into its rural surroundings. The interior is designed to be cozy yet contemporary. A simple palette of black, natural woods, and textured materials creates a modern vibe that does not compete with the natural environment. The living room features panoramic windows on both sides, allowing for ample natural light and extensive views of the landscape. The cabin's floor plan includes a small kitchen and a dining table adjacent to the living room. It also has a bedroom and a bathroom. An additional sleeping area is located in the attic and can accommodate guests with a folding sofa. The project is a proposed design, with the available information based on renderings created in 2020. Credits Designer: Aleksey Uljanochkin. Location: Leningrad province, Russia.

  • Cabin Nordmarka | JVA Jarmund Vigsnæs AS | ZHIG

    RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | Designed by JVA Jarmund Vigsnæs AS Architects MNAL, the Cabin in Nordmarka is a 120-square-meter retreat completed in 2004 in a freshly cut clearing in a forest near Oslo, Norway. Created primarily for use during the winter cross-country skiing season, the cabin is elevated off the ground and is designed to take in views of the soft hills, lakes, and low winter sun toward the southern horizon. The design is conceived as a "thick house," with secondary spaces serving as a form of insulation between the exterior and the interior core. This core is a two-story central space that functions like a small urban piazza and is filled with light from the sides and above. This central area features varied ceiling heights, ranging from smaller, cave-like children's beds to a high-ceilinged common room. Natural light is filtered into this central space through the surrounding secondary rooms. The materials and color palette reflect traditional housing in the area: a black-stained wooden shell and a light-wood interior. The timber construction features substantial insulation, with walls insulated to 15 cm, floors to 20 cm, and the roof to 25 cm. Wooden panels are used for cladding both the interior and exterior, and the roof is covered with wooden panels over a membrane. Interior fittings and the kitchen are custom-designed by the architects, using pine plywood. Pine and fir were used for both the cladding and construction. The bathroom and hallway floors are finished with limestone, and a plastered masonry fireplace provides warmth.

  • Naust V | Kolab Arkitekter, Koreo Arkitekter | ZHIG

    RESIDENTIAL | Converted Boathouse | Built in 2015, Naust V is a transformation of an old wooden boathouse located in Vikebygd, a small village on Norway's west coast. The project was a collaboration between Oslo-based Kolab Arkitekter and Koreo Arkitekter. Traditionally, a naust was a functional building for storing boats and fishing equipment. As the fishing industry declined, many have been adapted for leisure. Due to strict regulations protecting Norway's common coastline, the architects had to work within the existing footprint, leading them to reinterpret the traditional building type for modern use. The project kept the original timber support structure and traditional gabled roof. The original boathouse was reclad with a new translucent facade combining vertical heartwood pine planks with sections of polycarbonate. This layering creates a unique visual effect, where the cabin appears solid during the day but glows magically from within at night. The architects also added a winter garden and a terrace by extending the structure at the back. Inside, the minimal and flexible 40-square-meter floor plan is divided by different materials and features a central gathering space with a kitchen and fireplace. Integrated benches and shelves are built into the walls, and the custom-built furniture is designed to optimize space. An automated door system on one side allows the wall to fold upwards, opening the interior to the landscape.

  • Cottage in Klínec | Archicraft | ZHIG

    RESIDENTIAL | Cottage | The Cottage in Klínec is a wooden retreat designed by Czech architectural firm Archicraft. Completed in 2022, the project involved demolishing an existing cottage and designing a new wooden-framed structure in the same location, adhering to local regulations that required the new building to maintain the original footprint. The result is a simple and elegant cottage that provides its owners with a peaceful escape from city life. The design focuses on low-maintenance upkeep and seamless integration with the surrounding nature. Exterior: The dark color of the exterior helps the cottage blend into its forest surroundings. Wooden cladding was strategically used in shaded areas and as underlayment, while a gutterless roof was chosen to minimize maintenance. Interior: The cottage's interior is designed for comfort and relaxation, with a warm and cozy atmosphere. The layout is optimized for the owners' specific needs, which included spaces for a painting easel and a small desk. The living room features a kitchen, a sofa, and a fireplace. The sofa is positioned to offer a view of both the fireplace and a television. All bathrooms are equipped with windows for natural ventilation and light. Project details Location: Klínec, Czech Republic Year of completion: 2022 Architect: Archicraft Building constraints: The replacement structure was required to maintain the original building's footprint, including one above-ground floor and a residential attic. Additional sheds and verandas could be added, but not exceeding 10% of the existing built-up area and not facing the forest.

  • Khan Shatyr Entertainment Center | Foster + Partners | ZHIG

    HOSPITALITY | Mixed-use | Astana, the new capital of Kazakhstan, lies in an austere eastern landscape with an inhospitable climate that can generate temperatures of -35 degrees Celsius in winter and +35 degrees in summer. The Khan Shatyr Entertainment Center is designed to provide the city with a range of civic, cultural and social amenities all sheltered within a climatic envelope - 'a world within' - that offers a comfortable microclimate all year round, whatever the weather. The building's tented structure has great resonance in Kazakh history as the tent is a traditional nomadic building form - Khan Shatyr translates as 'the Tent of the Khan'. Located at the northern end of the city's formal axis, the masted structure soars 150 metres from a 200 x 195-metre elliptical base to form one of the highest peaks on the Astana skyline. Enclosing an area in excess of 100,000 square metres it comprises an urban-scaled park, with a 450-metre jogging track, along with a wide variety of shopping and leisure facilities, including restaurants, cinemas and entertainment spaces that can accommodate a varied programme of events and exhibitions. The park steps up the height of the building in undulating terraces and a water park, with wave pools and slides, weaves its way through the landscape. The tubular-steel tripod structure supports a suspended net of steel radial and circumferential cables, which is clad with a three-layer ETFE envelope, formed as 3.5 x 30-metre cushions - a very light, economical and thermally efficient solution. The translucent material allows daylight to wash the interiors while sheltering them from weather extremes. Specific enclosures within the envelope are air conditioned, but the open circulation areas are environmentally tempered, with target temperatures of +14 degrees Celsius in winter and +29 degrees in summer. Low-level jets direct cool air across the space, while vents at the apex induce natural stack-effect ventilation. The challenge in winter is to prevent ice forming on the inside of the envelope. This is achieved by a combination of temperature control and directing warm air currents up the inner fabric surface, a strategy that also prevents | https://static.wixstatic.com/media/9756fd_2b43a5dadc1f4bfd8731f7de06115530~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_2000,h_1124,al_c,q_90/Khan%20Shatyr%20Entertainment%20Center%20(4).jfif Please Wait Khan Shatyr Entertainment Center (1).jfif Khan Shatyr Entertainment Center (2).jfif Khan Shatyr Entertainment Center (3).jfif 1/2 0 Product 3.8K Views 0 0 Pin Pin Private Public x Appreciators Appreciated Appreciate Please Log in Khan Shatyr Entertainment Center Khan Shatyr Entertainment Center, Turan Ave 37, Astana 020000, Kazakhstan Architects: Foster + Partners Foster + Partners Architecture Office United Kingdom Area: Year: City: Client: 100,000 m² 2009 Astana Sembol Construction Construction: Category: HOSPITALITY Project Type: Mixed-use Post Type: Building Country: Kazakhstan Photographers: the architects Description: Astana, the new capital of Kazakhstan, lies in an austere eastern landscape with an inhospitable climate that can generate temperatures of -35 degrees Celsius in winter and +35 degrees in summer.

  • Two Cabins on Stilts (Les Cabanes Perchées) | Cyril Chênebeau Architecte | ZHIG

    RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | Architect Cyril Chênebeau created the "Two Cabins On Stilts" (Les Cabanes Perchées) in Saint-Martin-Vésubie, France, near the Mercantour National Park, as immersive, all-season getaways. Completed in 2022, the project consists of two identical, nine-sided cabin volumes elevated on V-shaped larch stilts. The design balances a traditional gabled cabin form with a contemporary, "perched" habitat that minimizes its footprint on the forested site. Each cabin is shaped as a nine-sided prism with a double-sided gabled roof. The interior is spacious, with generous ceiling heights that follow the roofline. Large windows and strategically placed openings frame views of the surrounding larch forest, filtering light into the interior throughout the day. The living area is organized around a central hearth, with a visible and connected spa area that is also accessible from the large south-facing terrace. This provides a unique alpine experience for guests. The cabins are clad in dark, charred wood cladding, which echoes the color of the larch tree bark and helps the structures blend into their environment. The cabins are supported by a unique, three-dimensional wooden post structure made of stripped larch poles. The V-shaped posts evoke leaning tree trunks and reinforce the "perched" visual effect. This light-colored structural wood is left exposed to create a visual contrast with the dark facade. The interior features a warm, refined material palette with carefully selected coverings and furniture. Project team and credits Architect: Cyril Chênebeau. Client: SMDVVV (CG06).

  • Small but Fine Off-grid Cabin | studio politaire | ZHIG

    RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | Constructed by architecture and urban design students Timm Bergmann and Jonas Becker, who would later go on to found Studio Politaire, the "Small but Fine" Off-grid Cabin was completed in 2018 in a remote forest in Finland. The 280-square-foot structure was built on a modest budget of approximately $14,000, with the designers doing most of the work themselves. The off-grid cabin was designed as a simple and functional retreat to live in and reflect on self-reliance. Built on a rocky plot with a natural flat spot near a lake, the cabin’s design features four slightly offset rooms spread across a total floor space of 26.8 square meters, offering a different view of the surrounding landscape from each staggered window. The cabin's off-grid utilities include a water pump, a three-phase sewage system, and a hot water supply powered by solar energy and a wood-burning stove. To accommodate the cabin's location on swampy soil with no vehicular access, the designers first built a 650-foot-long elevated pathway to the nearest road. The foundation was built using concrete-filled steel pipes anchored into bedrock to ensure durability. The minimalist interior features wood-paneled walls and flooring, with plywood boards lining the ceilings.

The 280-square-foot structure was built on a modest budget of approximately $14,000, with the designers doing most of the work themselves. The off-grid cabin was designed as a simple and functional retreat to live in and reflect on self-reliance. Built on a rocky plot with a natural flat spot near a lake, the cabin’s design features four slightly offset rooms spread across a total floor space of 26.8 square meters, offering a different view of the surrounding landscape from each staggered window. The cabin's off-grid utilities include a water pump, a three-phase sewage system, and a hot water supply powered by solar energy and a wood-burning stove. To accommodate the cabin's location on swampy soil with no vehicular access, the designers first built a 650-foot-long elevated pathway to the nearest road. The foundation was built using concrete-filled steel pipes anchored into bedrock to ensure durability. The minimalist interior features wood-paneled walls and flooring, with plywood boards lining the ceilings. A wood-burning stove provides heat, while large windows allow natural light to flood the space and connect the occupants with nature. A small deck outside provides an open-air area for a tranquil retreat.
