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.

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.

HOSPITALITY | Cabin | Berlin-based hospitality company Raus collaborated with Danish architect Sigurd Larsen to design the Raus Cabin, a sustainable, off-grid micro-cabin. The prototype debuted in 2022 on the historic Wehrmühle Biesenthal estate, located near Berlin, with the broader concept being to place these self-sufficient cabins in natural landscapes across Germany. The project’s goal is to offer city dwellers a retreat from the hustle and bustle of urban life, providing an escape where they can reconnect with nature. The cabin, which occupies a compact 18-square-meter footprint, is designed to feel spacious and open through the use of high ceilings and extensive glazing. The design is a series of varying internal spaces that are aligned with the sun's movement throughout the day. For instance, the east-facing kitchen is filled with morning sunlight, while a small terrace off the bedroom provides a spot for watching the sunset. Panoramic windows and skylights connect the interior with the surrounding landscape, framing specific views and allowing light to filter in. The windows are a key feature, with a sliding section that opens to further immerse guests in the tranquil setting. The cabin is clad in charred and oiled larch wood, a dark exterior that allows it to blend seamlessly with the forest's dark tree trunks. The interiors, by contrast, are kept in an all-black theme, which prevents reflections on the large glass windows and draws focus to the external views. To maximize the small space, functional furniture is built into "cave-like" niches within the walls, creating a sense of both openness and protection. The space is fully self-sufficient, equipped with solar panels for energy, a composting toilet, and a water tank.

To maximize the small space, functional furniture is built into "cave-like" niches within the walls, creating a sense of both openness and protection. The space is fully self-sufficient, equipped with solar panels for energy, a composting toilet, and a water tank.

RESIDENTIAL | Summer House | Between Birch House, a minimalist 58-square-meter summer home in Northern Sealand, Denmark, is a testament to sustainable and resource-conscious building. Completed in 2022 by a collaboration between Kim Lenschow and Pihlmann Architects, the holiday house examines a "lighter way of building, ecologically as well as aesthetically". The project's guiding philosophy was based on a notion of "enough," limiting birch plywood to touchpoints where the body meets the building, such as interior walls, built-ins, and ceilings. Structural elements are left raw and exposed elsewhere, allowing occupants to follow the construction process and celebrate its assembly. This approach results in a calm and contemplative interior with a temporal quality. The house was built without a concrete foundation, resting gently on helical pillars that minimize its footprint on the forest floor. Its lightweight timber frame and modest material palette give it a temporary yet natural presence within the landscape. The design contrasts an unassuming gable with a spacious, airy interior, which includes a guest room with exterior access for added privacy. The facade features subtle detailing, with thin, shadowy lines and facade sheets that give the structure a soft, hovering appearance. Lightness is a recurring theme, evident in everything from the thinly cut metal fixtures in the bathroom to the low-density wood fiber insulation.

RESIDENTIAL | House | Built and designed by architect Jesse Garlick as a personal retreat, Sky House is a prefabricated, off-the-grid vacation home located in the semi-arid foothills near Oroville, Washington, close to the U.S.–Canadian border. Completed around 2014, the modest 850-square-foot cabin was designed to connect its inhabitants with the rugged high desert landscape and the vast, open sky. The house was built with efficiency and a low environmental footprint in mind. Its structure is composed of solid cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels, which were prefabricated off-site and transported on a single truckload to the remote location. The entire shell was erected in just over two days by a small crew. The exterior is clad in sheets of unfinished raw steel, which have developed a patina of ochre-red that mimics the color of the surrounding weathered bedrock, helping the home blend into its natural surroundings. The interior features unfinished CLT panels, helping to optimize material usage and costs. The off-grid dwelling is entirely self-sufficient, relying on solar power for electricity and propane for cooking, hot water, and a backup power source. It also features a wood-burning stove for heating. Passive design strategies, such as the use of high thermal mass walls and stack ventilation, help maintain a comfortable indoor temperature. Large south-facing windows maximize solar gain and frame expansive views of the Cascade foothills. Inside, the compact, two-story layout cleverly incorporates space-saving features inspired by nautical design and old trail cabins. A daybed on the ground floor can be cordoned off with curtains for guest accommodation. This bed is also equipped with a sailboat winch that can raise it to the ceiling, revealing a tile-surround bathtub underneath.

RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | Designed by Oslo-based Vardehaugen Architects and led by Håkon Matre Aasarød, Cabin Vindheim is a 55-square-meter retreat in the alpine landscape near Lillehammer, Norway, and was completed in 2016 for a private client. The cabin draws inspiration from the classic image of snowbound cabins, where only the roof protrudes through the snow, and blends into its surroundings with deep gables that extend to the ground. The structure's angular shape and black-stained pinewood cladding contrast with the dramatic white winter landscape. The interior, which is spacious despite its compact size, is clad in a waxed poplar veneer, with uplifts in the sloped ceiling creating a rich spatial experience. An uninterrupted ceiling connects the living room, bedroom, ski room, and a small utility annex. A large, 4-meter-long window in the bedroom offers views of the treetops and night sky, enhancing the feeling of sleeping within nature. The off-grid cabin relies on solar power and a wood oven for energy. A unique and playful feature is the cabin's roof, which doubles as a ski slope or toboggan run during the snowy winters.

RESIDENTIAL | House | Designed by Jérôme Lapierre Architecte, Casa Spinone is a secluded house located in the forest of Potton, Quebec, designed to prioritize a deep connection with its wooded environment. Completed in 2024, the house is a contemporary interpretation of a traditional wooden cabin. Its minimalist footprint and design focus on reducing its impact on the site's unique trees and rocks. The home's spatial experience is characterized by a deliberate alternation between open and sheltered areas. The main living area features extensive glazing, stretching toward the forest and opening onto a terrace that extends the interior outward. The house's location allows the seasonal foliage to either warm the interior with sunlight or cool it by filtering the light. Functional elements such as the kitchen, storage, and mechanical systems are integrated into a central block of furniture, optimizing function while minimizing the built area and concealing conduits for a cleaner aesthetic. A low-ceilinged threshold marks the transition to the private night zone, which includes two bedrooms flanking a central block of water features. The project's material strategy emphasizes a more economical and frugal use of wood compared to glued laminated timber. It celebrates the precision of the assemblies and the beauty of raw materials. This approach highlights an architecture that is contextually rooted, humble, and poetic, and demonstrates a deep respect for Quebec's natural environment and modern issues of sustainability.

RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | Designed by ET.co and led by architect Omar López Bautista, the Bungalow H is a 30-square-meter contemporary cabin completed in 2022. Located on the slopes of the Northern Mountains in San Andrés Huayápam, Oaxaca, Mexico, the project was conceived as a tranquil personal refuge for short stays. Positioned on a natural terrace surrounded by trees, the bungalow offers panoramic views of the valley and the city below. The minimalist and low-maintenance design of Bungalow H prioritizes a connection with its stunning natural surroundings. The concrete structure is painted black, which helps minimize its visual impact on the landscape. The exterior is closed off on three sides to ensure privacy, while the fourth side is a fully glazed façade that frames the breathtaking view. To enhance the sense of lightness and the minimalist aesthetic, the bungalow appears to float slightly above the ground.

Located on the slopes of the Northern Mountains in San Andrés Huayápam, Oaxaca, Mexico, the project was conceived as a tranquil personal refuge for short stays. Positioned on a natural terrace surrounded by trees, the bungalow offers panoramic views of the valley and the city below. The minimalist and low-maintenance design of Bungalow H prioritizes a connection with its stunning natural surroundings. The concrete structure is painted black, which helps minimize its visual impact on the landscape. The exterior is closed off on three sides to ensure privacy, while the fourth side is a fully glazed façade that frames the breathtaking view. To enhance the sense of lightness and the minimalist aesthetic, the bungalow appears to float slightly above the ground. This effect is achieved with a smaller foundation area and is further emphasized at night by perimeter lighting along its base. The interior of the bungalow is kept simple to reflect its temporary and essentialist function.

RESIDENTIAL | Annex | Completed in 2022 by Dublin-based Clancy Moore Architects, The Writing Room is an angular, prefabricated micro-dwelling designed for award-winning novelist Eoin Colfer. The 7.4-square-meter hut is nestled in the garden of Colfer's home and serves as a secluded space for work and reflection. The design was heavily influenced by the project's unique logistical constraints and the need to minimize disruption during construction. The site, located behind a terrace of houses, was inaccessible to builders and heavy machinery. This logistical challenge led to the decision to fabricate the structure entirely off-site and then hoist it into place with a crane. This off-site approach defined the project's design parameters, influencing its size, shape, and construction. The small size of the hut was calibrated to the crane's weight capacity. The prefabricated design also allowed for the use of augured ground anchors, avoiding the need for heavy, disruptive foundations. The angular, butterfly-shaped roof was specifically designed with raised corners that could serve as lifting eyes for the crane. A key aspect of the brief was that the structure could be taken with the client if he were to move in the future. The prefabricated, crane-installed design fulfills this requirement, making it a "nomadic" piece of architecture. The Writing Room's design juxtaposes its industrial exoskeleton with a rich and warm internal world, creating a space for both intense focus and rest. The exterior features an exoskeleton of ribbed, recycled aluminum sheet, which provides structural rigidity and a futuristic, spaceship-like appearance. The inside is lined with red-stained beechwood, which creates a textured, intimate atmosphere. The red hue complements the green of the surrounding garden, viewed through large windows. The space is furnished with a built-in desk for working and a daybed for resting. A V-shaped mirrored ceiling serves a dual purpose, creating the illusion of a larger space and providing a "periscoped" reflection of the sky and distant views, allowing for connection with the outside world from a reclined position. The use of recycled aluminum for the exterior and sustainably sourced beechwood for the interior reflects a commitment to minimizing the project's environmental footprint.

We share our name with a beautiful, remote, and historically important mountain in central Norway. Snøhetta is a place nobody is from, but anyone can experience. Creating places for societies to connect with each other and with the world around them is a primary motivation in our work. Dialogue and diversity empower this approach. Snøhetta first significant commission was in 1989 for Bibliotheca Alexandrina, reviving the ancient library in Alexandria, Egypt. This was followed by commissions for the Norwegian National Opera and Ballet in Oslo and the National September 11 Memorial Museum Pavilion at the World Trade Center in New York City. Since those early projects, many other internationally acclaimed works have been realized around the globe. source: snohetta.com Category Masterplan Post Type Building Project Type URBAN PLANNING Country Hungary Year 2020 Area 135 hectares Client BFK Budapest Development Centre 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

RESIDENTIAL | House | Completed in 2020 by Singaporean writer and designer Prashant Ashoka, Casa Etérea is a 75-square-meter off-grid retreat built on the slopes of Palo Huérfano, an extinct volcano near San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. With no formal background in architecture, Ashoka conceived the minimalist, mirrored dwelling as a "theater to nature" that prioritizes a sensory connection with the rugged, volcanic landscape. The project took three years to complete and was heavily inspired by the "emotional architecture" of Mexican architect Luis Barragán. The name Etérea, Spanish for "ethereal," reflects the home's weightless, camouflaged appearance. The design is based on a concept of radical integration with the environment. The cabin consists of two rectilinear volumes that meet at a 120-degree angle, mirroring a ravine visible through the exposed shower. The exterior is clad in mirrored glass, featuring a patterned ultraviolet coating that prevents birds from colliding with the surface while remaining invisible to the human eye. To minimize its footprint and construction impact, the foundation was built from volcanic rock collected on-site. The property is completely off-grid, relying on solar panels for electricity and a rainwater collection system for water. This self-sufficiency allows for a fully immersive, secluded experience. The interior is a single, open-plan space with a minimal and natural material palette of concrete, timber, jute, and leather, which prevents it from distracting from the views. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors slide open to connect the living area, bedroom, and copper bathtub with a decked patio, heated pool, and the encompassing olive and pomegranate trees. Remote-controlled PVC shutters offer privacy and security. The isolated location, only accessible by 4x4, reinforces the sense of disconnection from urban life.

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

This foundation system means the house can be moved in its entirety, with the option to add two extra poles for a terrace. The cabin's form is an organic pentagonal plan with three obtuse corners, giving it a soft, non-intrusive character in the woods. It features a single-pitch roof that reaches a height of 7 meters at the rear, creating a sense of spaciousness within the compact footprint. The wooden skeleton was prefabricated and assembled in just five days, with the clients themselves contributing to the exterior cladding and interior finishes. The exterior is clad with locally sourced, barked larch planks over fiberboard, and the interior uses oriented strand board (OSB) panels. Energy efficiency is a key feature, with the house so well-insulated that a single wood stove is sufficient for heating. An air-source heat pump was also installed to heat sanitary water efficiently. Recovered and recycled materials were used for the kitchen and bathroom furnishings.

RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | 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.

RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | Designed by Cloux Architecture, the Béllerine Cabin is a remarkable work of sustainable and sensitive architecture located in the Swiss Alps. This 65 m² retreat, completed in 2020, replaces a dilapidated barn on a summer pasture 1,070 meters above sea level. The project's philosophy is rooted in a respect for the landscape and a commitment to self-sufficiency, creating a modern shelter that honors the area's pastoral heritage. The design concept for the Béllerine Cabin evolved from the idea of a primitive shelter centered around a fireplace. It also draws inspiration from Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's "Terre des Hommes," which speaks to human connection with the land. The cabin's form retains the memory of the barn it replaced, utilizing the same footprint and volume to preserve its place within the landscape. The interior is conceived as a "cavern-like room" with a central fireplace that radiates heat. The substantial internal mass absorbs and stores this heat, also keeping the space cool during warmer summer months. Large windows frame the dramatic and ever-changing views of the Rhône valley and Lake Léman, allowing minimal furnishings to focus attention on the natural surroundings. The cabin is entirely self-sufficient, relying on wood from the surrounding forest for heating and an autonomous system for water and electricity. Cloux Architecture's commitment to local sourcing and natural materials is evident throughout the construction. The frame was fabricated and insulated off-site using wood fiber from just five miles away. The roof is covered with untreated European larch shingles, a durable material that has been used for centuries. The external and internal cladding is made of untreated, local spruce sourced from a nearby mill. All cement used in the project was produced less than ten miles from the site. The cabin's design is integrated with its environment through bioclimatic strategies. Trees like wild cherry and sycamore on the western side of the building provide solar gain in winter while offering crucial shade in the summer. This natural shade helped justify the inclusion of large openings during the permitting process.
