RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | The Micro Cabin 323SF is a tiny guest house designed and completed in 2014 by Brooklyn-based Breitner Ciaccia—Office of Architecture (BC—OA). Located in Montauk, New York, the cabin is situated on a compact 12' x 15' footprint on an existing foundation next to a main house. Despite its extremely small size, the cabin was designed to function like a full-sized home, showcasing clever space management and high-performance design. The central idea behind the Micro Cabin was to treat its small floor plan as a "jewel box," with every millimeter carefully considered for maximum functionality. The architects, Amy Breitner and Greg Ciaccia, utilized multi-functional surfaces and thoughtful interventions to make the space feel both efficient and expansive. A recessed floor in the living area allows for a generous, built-in lounge, creating a distinct zone for relaxation without visually dividing the room. The flue of a small wood-burning fireplace extends from floor to ceiling, drawing the eye upward and emphasizing the double-height space above the entry. A skylight further amplifies this effect, inviting natural light into the core of the cabin. The kitchen and storage areas are cleverly tucked beneath the staircase, making efficient use of every cubic foot. The exterior and interior are defined by a contrast of materials. The north and west facades are clad in solid, reclaimed hickory wood, providing privacy from the nearby main house. The east and south facades feature strategically placed windows that connect the interior with the surrounding national forest land. The cabin is purposefully integrated with its natural surroundings. The careful placement of windows provides framed views of the tranquility of the adjacent forest. The exterior cladding, which will weather over time, helps the cabin blend into its rustic setting.

CULTURAL ARCHITECTURE | Film Museum and Cinema | EYE Film Institute Netherlands is situated on a prime location at the bend of the river IJ, opposite the historical part of the city and the Central Station. The building is conceived as a highly tense and dynamic geometric solid. The light is reflected in multiple ways by smooth, crystalline surfaces, thus subjecting the building’s appearance to permanent optical changes during the course of the day. Movement and light manifest themselves clearly as essential parameters for the film as a medium in the architectural production. The entrance into the building is characterised by continuous spatial concentration and directed visual relations. Spatial development, light incidence, and materiality define the path that leads from the southern glass front and the museum shop into the heart of the building. The room widens successively, before unfolding its full dimensions as an architectural and functional focus. The interior’s architectural formulation defines the foyer and arena as central divisors which integrate all path relations into the overall functional concept. | https://static.wixstatic.com/media/9756fd_6e49802d211643f58eedf227388423af~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1900,h_1267,al_c,q_90/EYE%20Film%20Institute%20Netherlands8.jpg Please Wait EYE Film Institute Netherlands2.jpg EYE Film Institute Netherlands4.jpg EYE Film Institute Netherlands3.jpg 1/4 0 Product 3.6K Views 0 0 Pin Pin Private Public x Appreciators Appreciated Appreciate Please Log in EYE Film Institute Netherlands IJpromenade 1, 1031 KT Amsterdam, The Netherlands Architects: Delugan Meissl Associated Architects Delugan Meissl Associated Architects Architecture Office Austria Area: Year: City: Client: 6,000 m2 2012 Amsterdam Construction: Heijmans Bouw BV Category: CULTURAL ARCHITECTURE Project Type: Film Museum and Cinema Post Type: Building Country: Netherlands Photographers: the architects Description: EYE Film Institute Netherlands is situated on a prime location at the bend of the river IJ, opposite the historical part of the city and the Central Station.

RESIDENTIAL | Studio | The Polygon Studio, a combined sculpture studio and guesthouse, was designed by Jeffery S. Poss Architect and Chicago-based WORKUS Studio for a client with a wooded, steeply sloped lakefront property in New York's Adirondack Mountains. Completed in 2013, the two-story structure was built at the highest elevation of the property, offering tree-filtered views of Lake George from both levels. The design draws on the rural Adirondack vernacular, and its overall form reflects the building's dual purpose. The ground floor, measuring 409 square feet, is dedicated to the sculpture studio. This level features large sliding glass doors, a durable concrete floor, and a tall, light-filled space for creative work, with a tucked-away service area beneath the upper loft. The upper loft serves as a guest room and forms its own gabled volume with a small, cantilevered balcony, offering a private space with elevated views of the lake. The exterior cladding combines galvanized steel siding for the gables and north end with local, milled red cedar for the east and west sides, which adds warmth and references the local vernacular. Inside, the use of locally milled cedar continues on the loft and ceilings, creating a warm, aromatic environment that contrasts with the bright white walls of the studio space. The zigzag roof profile further emphasizes the building's distinct, yet interconnected, interior spaces. Credits Architects: Jeffery S.

RESIDENTIAL | House | Completed in 2020, The Author's House is a private, 68-square-meter writing and living retreat designed by Danish architectural firm SLETH. Situated in a protected forest near Aarhus, Denmark, the cabin is a contemporary interpretation of the classic woodland cabin, designed to harmonize with its natural surroundings. It was built on the existing plinth of a previous summer house, adhering to the area's strict building regulations. The client, a writer, sought an inspirational workspace that offered a close connection to nature, rather than a traditional holiday home. This focus on work over residence is reflected in the layout, which dedicates most of the space to a large, flexible living and studio area, with only a small sleeping loft and bathroom. The design emphasizes the transition between inside and out. Large, sliding glass doors allow the interior to extend onto an outdoor terrace, a feature that allows the writer to work in direct connection with the forest. The exterior is clad in a dark, reddish-brown copper, chosen to blend with the trunks of the surrounding beech trees and a nearby lake. This copper façade will naturally patinate over time, gradually turning green to further integrate the structure into the landscape. Inside, the material palette is warm and natural. The flooring, a mottled aggregate concrete, mimics the forest floor and extends out onto the terrace to blur the line between interior and exterior spaces. The interior is dominated by Douglas fir wood from Danish manufacturer Dinesen, used for the ceilings, built-in furniture, kitchen, staircase, and the home's walls, which are also lined with bookcases. In a splash of vibrant color, the fireplace is painted in a deep, electric blue. The project also features sustainable measures, including geothermal heating and an efficient use of materials, where leftover wood planks were used for additional furnishings.

RESIDENTIAL | Cottage | The Taieri Mouth Bach is a modern reinterpretation of the traditional, simple holiday cottage, or "bach," built by architect Regan Johnston for his family while he was working at Mason & Wales Architects. Located on a sand dune near a fishing village at the mouth of the Taieri River on New Zealand's South Island, the project was completed in 2013 and took only eight weeks to build. The modest 55-square-meter dwelling was designed with a simple gabled form and honest, natural, and robust materials, paying homage to the original, often handmade, fishing huts and baches of the area. The bach's straightforward and economical construction is balanced by a striking, fully-glazed end wall that offers expansive views of the surrounding dune, Moturata Island, and Taieri Beach. To minimize view obstruction while ensuring the structure's stability against high winds and earthquakes, the glazed gable end is reinforced with a system of steel tension rods arranged in an X pattern. An open-plan living area occupies most of the ground floor, featuring a vaulted ceiling that rises to the roof ridge. Another wall with large sliding glass doors opens the living space to a timber patio on the sunny north side. The kitchen, bathroom, laundry, and storage areas are located at the back of the house. The project has been praised for its simplicity, charm, and unquestionable sustainability, with minimal waste during design and construction. It was a recipient of a NZIA Residential Award and a Supreme Timber Building Award at the 2013 New Zealand Wood Awards.

RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | The Zen House is a tiny, 33-square-meter elevated cabin designed by architect Jan Tyrpekl for a farm complex in Hainburg an der Donau, Austria. Completed in 2023, the cabin was commissioned to provide a unique and serene retreat for relaxation, offering a deep connection with the surrounding nature, which includes an orchard and mature trees. The dwelling is perched on 4-meter-high concrete stilts, allowing the landscape to flow unimpeded beneath and creating a feeling of being in a "bird's nest," which offers a sense of security and intimacy. The structure is built from sustainable materials, featuring a frame of glued laminated spruce timbers and a platform and roof of cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels. The lower part of the structure and the terrace are made from glued laminated larch timbers. The most prominent feature of the design is the extensive use of glass walls, which enclose the entire living space to provide uninterrupted, 360-degree views of the natural surroundings. For privacy, interior curtains can be drawn. The open-plan interior is designed for simplicity and comfort. It includes a built-in bed, a connected bar/kitchenette, and a suspended fireplace that creates a cozy, warm atmosphere. The space is divided into distinct zones for sleeping, sitting, and conversing. Large HS portals—sliding doors—provide access to a spacious terrace overlooking the farm's orchard. While the current cabin lacks a bathroom and cooking facilities, plans are in place for a future expansion that will add a sauna, shower, and toilet in the space between the supporting pillars beneath the house.

Completed in 2022, the project is a sustainable and resourceful endeavor, built almost entirely from locally sourced, recycled, and donated materials from previous constructions. The building process was a collaborative effort involving friends and family, reflecting a "labor of love" approach. The structure is divided into three distinct parts, creating a harmonious balance between work and relaxation: a small studio with basic sanitary facilities, a sauna with an adjacent beekeeping workshop, and an open terrace that connects the two volumes. The design is based on a simple, gabled-roof massing, with strategically placed north-facing windows to prevent overheating during the summer while maximizing natural light. Storage niches for firewood are integrated into the facades, which aids in insulation during colder months. The building is heated by wood-burning stoves in both the studio and the sauna. The Atelier's foundation consists of concrete footings that support an admitted timber frame, which carries individual insulated timber panels. Its design is intended to engage with the surrounding landscape, offering expansive views of the valley and nearby forest, and providing a flexible space for various activities, including work, relaxation, family gatherings, or accommodating guests.

The 12.5-square-meter cabin is situated on top of a disused World War II concrete bunker near the border of the Czech Republic and Austria. This was part of an architectural statement to repurpose the thousands of bunkers left in the landscape after they were never used for their intended purpose. By designing a light, removable wooden structure, Tyrpekl aimed to minimize the impact on the existing historical structure. The project was executed with minimal material, cost, and time. It was built with the help of friends, family, and architecture students, rather than being funded by donations or grants. Because of logistical challenges, the cabin was first assembled at a family farm 200 kilometers away, then disassembled and reassembled on the bunker. The design demonstrates that a generous interior space can be created within a very small footprint. The building features two large windows—one facing the Austrian border and the other facing a nearby village church—and an additional rooftop window, ensuring the small space is filled with natural light and scenic views. The simple wooden design was constructed using only common tools. The Shelter serves as a small retreat, and anyone can arrange to stay there with the owner's permission. In 2018, the project received a Czech Architecture Award nomination, with the jury praising its ability to make the invisible visible, its philosophical approach to marking a special place, and its simple, natural materials that achieve maximum impact with minimal means.

RESIDENTIAL | House | Zilvar House is a modern, energy-efficient wooden retreat designed by the Prague-based studio ASGK Design for a family seeking escape from urban life. Located on the outskirts of a village in Eastern Bohemia, Czech Republic, the compact and open-plan house is surrounded by fields, meadows, and forests. The house's unique and organic design was inspired by the client's four-year-old son, who imagined a building with an anthropomorphic shape that leaned towards the impressive oak tree on the property. Taking cues from this imaginative vision and the local microclimate, ASGK Design created a house that constantly interacts with its natural surroundings. Completed in 2013, the house has a larch timber-framed structure and is built on a pile foundation, raising it slightly off the ground. The elongated, single-story form features a pent roof that angles toward the oak tree. The facade, interior, and roof are clad in larch boards. To increase durability against the region's strong winds and rain, the exterior wood underwent a "burn and stain" process. The interior features lighter, natural wood finishes. Designed as a low-energy house, Zilvar utilizes a "diffusion-open" wall assembly that allows moisture to pass through the structure, eliminating the need for a plastic vapor barrier. A wood-burning stove and radiant floor heating provide warmth. Large, floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding glass doors blur the line between the indoors and outdoors, creating the illusion of a larger space. Same wooden flooring is used both inside and on the eastern terrace, creating a seamless connection to the garden. Large sliding wooden shutters provide shade from the summer sun while allowing winter solar gain. Sheltered outdoor areas are strategically placed at the northern entrance and eastern terrace to provide protection from the elements year-round. The ground floor contains an open-plan living area with a kitchenette and dining space. Two raised galleries at opposite ends of the house, accessed by industrial-style staircases, serve as bedrooms.

RESIDENTIAL | Cottage | The Bučina Cottage is a contemporary residence for the manager of a ski resort in the village of Horní Malá Úpa, Czech Republic. Completed in 2023 by Prague-based architectural studio ADR, the cottage is inspired by the traditional timber architecture of the Krkonoše National Park region. Form: The cottage adopts an asymmetric cross-shaped plan, drawing on local building traditions. The cross morphology also serves to frame specific views of the surrounding landscape and mountain peaks, including Sněžka and Lysečina. Exterior: The exterior features a ventilated façade clad in unplaned spruce boards, painted a striking red, a color that is historically characteristic of mountain buildings in the area. The roof is covered with a corrugated metal sheet. Interior: The compact yet functional interior, designed for modern living, features a simple material palette. White-painted plaster walls are complemented by exposed structural timber beams, solid spruce flooring, and bespoke furniture crafted from the same material. Layout: Ground floor: The east-facing entrance leads into a vestibule, storage room, and an open-plan living, kitchen, and dining area. First floor: A spiral staircase, wrapped around a log-burning stove, leads to the upper floor, which contains two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a snug. Structural elements: The lightweight, prefabricated timber frame structure rests on a concrete foundation slab. This design allows the cottage to appear to float above the terrain in the summer, while remaining level with the snow cover during the winter.

RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | Situated on the Dutch island of Texel, the Holiday Home by Orange Architects is a compact, 70-square-meter cabin designed to offer a flexible and sustainable retreat close to nature. Designed for a client who wanted to maximize the experience of their vacation, the house prioritizes social spaces during the day and adapts to become private sleeping quarters at night through a clever system of rotating panels and doors. The exterior is a striking, sculptural volume clad in black-stained timber, which allows the house to recede into its woodland surroundings while creating a bold aesthetic. In contrast, the interior features a bright and warm material palette of light-colored birch plywood, creating a seamless and spacious feeling throughout the compact home. During the day, the ground-floor living area, kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom can be opened to create a single, fluid space. Large, five-meter-high glass windows and doors on the southern façade connect the living area to a covered terrace and the surrounding forest, dissolving the boundary between indoors and out. At night, movable wooden panels can be rotated or closed to create private rooms, including an en-suite bathroom. A lofted level provides additional sleeping or living space. The design of the Holiday Home was guided by sustainability from the outset. The structure was prefabricated by a contractor on the mainland to minimize on-site waste and construction time. The use of all-electric systems, including rooftop solar panels, concrete floors for thermal mass, and a well-insulated envelope, ensures the home is fossil-fuel-free and energy efficient.

RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | Big Cabin | Little Cabin is a modern family residence in Fairplay, Colorado, designed by Renée del Gaudio Architecture. The project is a contemporary take on the traditional American cabin, splitting the living spaces into two distinct, minimalist volumes to accommodate the family's desire for privacy. Perched on a cliff at 10,000 feet, the cabins offer sweeping views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, the Collegiate Peaks, and the South Platte River. The design is informed by the character of traditional utilitarian structures found in the region, featuring simple rectangular forms, steeply pitched metal roofs, and exterior cedar siding that is stained dark to help the structure blend into the surrounding pine forest. The cabins sit on isolated pier foundations, which minimizes excavation, maintains the natural topography of the rocky site, and allows snow and water runoff to flow freely underneath. A steel grate deck connects the two structures and wraps around a mature pine tree, creating a protected, central outdoor space. The interior palette is also simple and rustic, with raw plywood walls and ceilings. Large windows and a rectangular floor plan maximize natural light and passive solar gain, while carefully placed operable windows encourage natural cross-ventilation. Energy efficiency is a core component of the design, with a highly insulated thermal envelope, efficient appliances, LED lighting, and low-e double and triple-pane windows. A high-efficiency boiler provides radiant floor heating, and a wood-burning stove provides additional warmth and ambiance. The home is also pre-wired for a solar array that is intended to supply 100% of its electricity.

CULTURAL | Museum | Mutations of form, penetrations, deformations, simultaneities, breakdowns, and variabilities affect architecture. The resulting architecture is characterized by the interactions, fusion, and mutation of different entities constituting a new shape. The building ground of the museum is located on a peninsula that was artificially extended 100 years ago. Even though it was apparent that this site would be a difficult one (536 piles had to be securely driven 30 meters into the ground), it was clear that this location would be very important for urban design. The building should serve as a distinctive beacon and entrance for the visitors approaching from the South, as well as a starting point for urban development. The striking interface situation of the construction site at the eponymous confluence of the Rhône and the Saône inspired the superposition in the urban space of two complexly linked architectural units, crystal, and cloud. The cloud structure, floating on pillars, contains a spatial sequence of black boxes— admitting no daylight, to achieve maximum flexibility for exhibition design. The Musée des Confluences does not consider itself as an exclusive “Temple of the Muses” for the intellectual bourgeoisie but as a public place providing access to the knowledge of our age. To build a museum of knowledge, a complex new form had to be developed as an iconic gateway. A building that truly stands out can only come into being through shapes resulting from new geometries. It was important to the concept that the flow of visitors arriving from the city to the Pointe du Confluent should not be impeded by a building. The idea was therefore to develop an openly traversable building that would be floating in part only on supports, to create a public space underneath. The architecture hybridizes the typology of a museum with the typology of urban leisure space. The concept of two complexly connected architectural units is a result of the striking interface-like situation of the building site. The crystal rising towards the side of the town is conceived as an urban forum and entrance hall for visitors. Its shape that can be read clearly stands for the everyday world. In contrast to this, the cloud hides the knowledge about the future; it is a soft space of hidden streams and countless transitions. Within the Musée des Confluences the present and the future, the known and the still unknown are conceived as a spatial arrangement trying to “spur public curiosity”. As an extension of the park located on the Southern tip of the island a new urban space formulates itself; a landscape consisting of ramps and surfaces merging the inside and the outside and resulting in a dynamic sequence of spatial events. This movement is also followed by the alternating spatial structure of the exhibition halls. Closed black boxes and free exhibition areas alternate by exploiting the double room height of two levels. Essentially, the building consists of three parts. Situated on a slightly raised base (due to the high groundwater) that houses the production workshops, the auditoriums, and the group visit reception area, crystal — foyer, and cloud – exhibition area. Environmental concept The foyer (crystal) is a naturally ventilated space. The supply air enters via glazed ventilation flaps inside the east facade while the exhaust air exits via the roof area. It is, therefore, unnecessary to use a traditional air conditioning system. Only the main access areas and workspaces are microclimatic units whose comfort is ensured through local heating and cooling systems. The floors are cooled via groundwater. This will result in significant energy savings for the museum’s foyer in the long term. In terms of thermal insulation, the facades of the exhibition area (cloud) are characterized by an extremely efficient building shell. All of the main access areas are illuminated naturally (not much artificial light); the water supply of the sanitation areas is provided through the groundwater. A photovoltaic system is installed on the roof. | https://static.wixstatic.com/media/9756fd_52fb2c4aa0744bc483fbbcc611de4820~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_900,h_594,al_c,q_85/Mus%C3%A9e%20des%20Confluences%20(2).jpg Please Wait Musée des Confluences (1).jpg Musée des Confluences (3).jpg Musée des Confluences (4).jpg 1/4 0 Product 2.4K Views 0 0 Pin Pin Private Public x Appreciators Appreciated Appreciate Please Log in Musée des Confluences 86 Quai Perrache, 69002 Lyon, France Architects: Coop Himmelb(l)au Coop Himmelb(l)au Architecture Office Austria Area: Year: City: Client: 20975 m² 2014 Lyon Conseil Géneral du Rhône Construction: Category: CULTURAL Project Type: Museum Post Type: Building Country: France Photographers: Sergio Pirrone, Raimund Koch, Duccio Malagamba, Christian Richters the architects Description: Mutations of form, penetrations, deformations, simultaneities, breakdowns, and variabilities affect architecture. The resulting architecture is characterized by the interactions, fusion, and mutation of different entities constituting a new shape. The building ground of the museum is located on a peninsula that was artificially extended 100 years ago. Even though it was apparent that this site would be a difficult one (536 piles had to be securely driven 30 meters into the ground), it was clear that this location would be very important for urban design. The building should serve as a distinctive beacon and entrance for the visitors approaching from the South, as well as a starting point for urban development. The striking interface situation of the construction site at the eponymous confluence of the Rhône and the Saône inspired the superposition in the urban space of two complexly linked architectural units, crystal, and cloud. The cloud structure, floating on pillars, contains a spatial sequence of black boxes— admitting no daylight, to achieve maximum flexibility for exhibition design. The Musée des Confluences does not consider itself as an exclusive “Temple of the Muses” for the intellectual bourgeoisie but as a public place providing access to the knowledge of our age. To build a museum of knowledge, a complex new form had to be developed as an iconic gateway. A building that truly stands out can only come into being through shapes resulting from new geometries. It was important to the concept that the flow of visitors arriving from the city to the Pointe du Confluent should not be impeded by a building. The idea was therefore to develop an openly traversable building that would be floating in part only on supports, to create a public space underneath. The architecture hybridizes the typology of a museum with the typology of urban leisure space. The concept of two complexly connected architectural units is a result of the striking interface-like situation of the building site. The crystal rising towards the side of the town is conceived as an urban forum and entrance hall for visitors. Its shape that can be read clearly stands for the everyday world. In contrast to this, the cloud hides the knowledge about the future; it is a soft space of hidden streams and countless transitions.

RESIDENTIAL | Modular House | Built in 2018, the Allotment House by architect Kristian Olesen is a 50-square-meter modular home located in Aarhus, Denmark, near the scenic Brabrand-lake. The project draws inspiration from the Nordic tradition of allotment houses—small, often self-built wooden cabins that serve as recreational getaways from city life. This particular home, however, is designed to be a permanent, space-efficient dwelling. The design is compact and features a simple modular structure with an aesthetic that evokes a connection to nature. The house is situated on its plot to maximize natural light and provides terraces on its southern and western sides that extend the living area outdoors and offer views of the surrounding landscape. Large windows were strategically placed to flood the interior with light and frame the views of the nearby lake and meadows. In keeping with the allotment tradition, the house was constructed with a focus on sustainable and natural materials. The interior is characterized by a "fragrant wood aesthetic," with pine used for flooring, ceilings, and internal partitions. The furniture, including the built-in kitchen, is also crafted from pine, contributing to a cohesive and minimalist living space. The exterior is clad in black-stained timber, which helps the house blend into the forested and natural surroundings.
