MULTI-FUNCTIONAL | Studio | The Atelier, designed by Czech architect Jan Tyrpekl, is a 68-square-meter three-season workspace and wellness retreat located in the woods near Stříbrná Skalice, a rural village east of Prague. 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.

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.

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 | 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.

HOSPITALITY | Hut | A unique lodging concept designed by architect Tom Kundig of Olson Kundig, the Rolling Huts are a series of six mobile, prefabricated cabins located in a flood plain meadow in Washington's Methow Valley. 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.

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 warm and dry retreat for the volunteers who maintain the park, the 35-square-meter cabin was designed to harmonize with its natural surroundings, rather than dominate them. The cabin's design cleverly employs a strategy of camouflage, making its presence barely perceptible until one is close to it. The volume is shaped and the exterior is clad in a green aluminum envelope to allow it to be concealed by the forest's lush foliage. Two large sliding doors on one corner can be fully opened, seamlessly blending the interior with the surrounding meadow where sheep graze. This allows occupants to control their level of exposure to the outdoors. A sculptural hearth at the cabin's center supports a folding aluminum-clad roof structure, creating an open canopy that extends the protected space outwards. The cabin was built without requiring a permit because it replaced a pre-existing 1966 cottage of a similar size and function, which had served as a break and storage shelter for park maintenance. The new design, however, features thoughtful updates and sustainable touches. The cabin was intentionally designed without electricity or running water, reinforcing Thoreau's ideals of simplicity and self-sufficiency. A sculptural hearth functions as the central element, providing heat from local firewood. It serves as a combined kitchen and fireplace. The interior includes a washroom with a washbasin, a small storage area, and a larger general space centered around the stove. Wooden panels line the interior walls, providing a sense of warmth and natural elegance that contrasts with the minimalist metal exterior.

RESIDENTIAL | Modular House | Happycheap House is a prefabricated, modular, and affordable prototype home located in a suburb near Stockholm, Sweden, designed by Tommy Carlsson Arkitektur. Completed around 2014, the house was a response to a housing market that Carlsson saw as being dominated by expensive, aesthetically stagnant prefab villas. The 110-square-meter home features a geometric, asymmetrical volume with a roof of varying pitches, clad in corrugated galvanized iron to reduce costs. This angular form is mirrored inside with a series of angled plywood surfaces and spaces. The design is based on a modular frame system of self-supporting laminated plywood sandwich panels, which allows for fast and affordable factory construction. Inside, the house showcases the raw plywood material extensively, creating a warm and minimalist feel. An angular staircase connects the ground floor, which includes the living, dining, and kitchen areas, with the upper floor, which contains three bedrooms. One of Carlsson's goals was to question conventional living, challenging notions of necessary living space and promoting affordability. The modular construction and the ability to expand the living area as needed were also central to the design.

RESIDENTIAL | House | Tinhouse is a holiday cottage on the Isle of Skye, Scotland, designed and self-built by Rural Design founders Alan Dickson and Gill Smith. The 70-square-meter house is situated on a steeply sloping site on the island's northwestern tip, with panoramic views over the Minch strait to the Outer Hebrides. The project was conceived as a year-round rental property, and it has garnered architectural awards and recognition, including being named the best holiday house for couples in the UK by The Sunday Times. The design is a contemporary take on the utilitarian agricultural sheds commonly found in the Scottish Highlands. The gabled house is clad entirely in corrugated, mill-finished aluminum sheeting, which provides durable protection against the region's frequent, fierce storms. The architects chose materials and a design that enabled much of the construction to be completed by a single person, celebrating the tradition of rural self-build projects. Recycled materials were incorporated where possible, including using leftover timber for built-in beds and seats, and offcuts for bedside tables. Inside, the interior contrasts with the rugged exterior by creating a character that is both modern and rustic. Simple materials like concrete floors, plywood joinery, and timber wall paneling create a tranquil backdrop. Vibrant pops of color, inspired by the surrounding landscape—such as fuchsia wildflowers, grass green, and sunset orange—are featured in the furnishings. Despite minimal window openings on the external facade, a strategic horizontal window on the north elevation provides a "hide" to observe the sea and landscape in all weather conditions.

RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | Designed by Austrian architect Christian Tonko and completed in 2022, Cabin MM01 is a modular and minimalist vacation home in the rural, alpine landscape of Carinthia, Austria. The 25-square-meter cabin, which is complemented by an equal-sized terrace, was created as a base for a couple to enjoy outdoor activities. The project is a testament to sustainable and flexible design, with a structure that is both easily transportable and leaves no lasting trace on its site. The cabin is a study in efficient and elegant micro-architecture, based on the standard dimensions and frames of shipping containers. Its name, "MM01," is a tribute to Malcolm McLean, the inventor of the modern shipping container. This design approach allows the cabin to be transported easily by a standard truck and installed on-site using removable screw foundations. When the cabin is relocated, the site can be fully restored to its original state. The compact 25-square-meter internal space is efficiently divided into four equally sized zones: a bedroom, a living/workspace, a kitchen, and a bathroom. An equally sized, covered terrace extends the living area outdoors, providing a shaded space to enjoy the surrounding forest. The terrace is oriented to the north for optimal shading and privacy. Expansive glazing lines the front of the cabin, connecting the interior with the outdoors and making the space feel larger than its physical footprint. The MM01 cabin combines high-quality, durable materials with clever space-saving techniques. While inspired by shipping containers, the cabin is built from specially constructed metal frames and highly insulated panels for superior thermal performance compared to typical metal containers. Despite its small size, the cabin features modern conveniences, including a full kitchen with a dishwasher and a washing machine. A desk with a foldaway screen can be pulled out from under the bed, transforming the area into an office when needed. Project credits Architect: Christian Tonko.

URBAN | Mixed-use development | Anfa Place is a mixed-use development on the Atlantic coast to the west of Casablanca, close to the city’s affluent residential district of Anfa. The design takes advantage of the site’s magnificent natural setting – the 90,000-square-metre scheme extends the city to the shoreline by creating a new waterfront quarter, with places to live, offices, shops, cafes, leisure facilities and a five-star hotel. The spaces are carved into the cliff-side beneath the existing corniche, drawing the city towards the sea with a series of stepped terraces. An elevated promenade leads to a plaza with cafes, restaurants and bars and breaks down the barrier that previously existed between the road and the beach. Pedestrians access the apartments at roof-level, via gardens and bridges, and discreet ramps lead cars to underground parking. The buildings then extend along the corniche: there is a hotel, swimming pool, courtyard and spa facilities at the north eastern tip, and offices and a ‘business club’ – comprising shared conference facilities and office space, a pool and serviced apartments – towards the south west of the site. The centre of the development is arranged as seven ‘fingers’ containing 260 private apartments. These extend towards the ocean and are staggered to allow even those furthest from the beach to have sea views.

The design takes advantage of the site’s magnificent natural setting – the 90,000-square-metre scheme extends the city to the shoreline by creating a new waterfront quarter, with places to live, offices, shops, cafes, leisure facilities and a five-star hotel. The spaces are carved into the cliff-side beneath the existing corniche, drawing the city towards the sea with a series of stepped terraces. An elevated promenade leads to a plaza with cafes, restaurants and bars and breaks down the barrier that previously existed between the road and the beach. Pedestrians access the apartments at roof-level, via gardens and bridges, and discreet ramps lead cars to underground parking. The buildings then extend along the corniche: there is a hotel, swimming pool, courtyard and spa facilities at the north eastern tip, and offices and a ‘business club’ – comprising shared conference facilities and office space, a pool and serviced apartments – towards the south west of the site. The centre of the development is arranged as seven ‘fingers’ containing 260 private apartments. These extend towards the ocean and are staggered to allow even those furthest from the beach to have sea views. Using local materials and construction techniques, the design responds to the architectural vernacular. The buildings are interspersed with private courtyards and trees, offering natural shade, while protecting against the strong sea breezes. The facades are designed to promote natural ventilation, control solar gain and exploit the cooling properties of thermal mass and, for privacy, the hotel balconies are shaded by delicate filigree screens.

RETREATS | Cabin | The 54-square-meter cabin known as La Invernada is a tranquil off-grid retreat designed by Guillermo Acuña Arquitectos Asociados to blend seamlessly into the native Valdivian forest of Curicó, Chile. The project, completed in 2019, was conceptualized as a temporary structure that could one day disappear, underscoring the impermanent nature of occupying the forest. Its unique aesthetic was inspired by the idea of "the vegetal," with the materials chosen to represent natural elements: wood for the trees, a mesh for the leaves, and polycarbonate for the forest's light. Constructed with a prefabricated, CNC-cut laminated Chilean pinewood frame, the cabin was assembled on-site to reduce construction time and waste. Resting on a cantilevered platform supported by stilts, it minimizes its environmental impact on the sloping terrain and surrounding flora. A wooden pathway snakes through the woods to the cabin's entrance, while the deck wraps around a tree, creating a deep connection between the inhabitant and the environment. The exterior is defined by a multi-layered skin. The inner layer is a clear, flexible polycarbonate that provides transparency and protection from rain, while the outer layer is a golden-hued textile mesh. During the day, the mesh filters light to create a warm, golden glow inside, echoing the changing leaves in autumn. At night, the cabin becomes a glowing lantern, illuminating the forest. The transparent facade plays with the idea of impermanence by reflecting the forest's shadows and movements on its skin. Inside, the compact cabin is organized vertically across three levels. The ground floor features a living area with a wood-burning stove, a small bathroom, and a bedroom with glass doors that open onto the terrace. A ladder leads to the upper two floors, which are fitted with cushions to create cozy relaxation areas with panoramic forest views.

COMMERCIAL | Mixed-use building | In the historic industrial area by the river Akerselva in Oslo, Norway, Snøhetta has designed a building that explores the possibilities of the future in ventilation. Named Vertikal Nydalen, the building is a pilot in a research project on more sustainable ventilation and energy solutions and is the very first mixed-use building in Norway with naturally ventilated offices. It results from an interdisciplinary collaboration between engineers and architects and uses innovative architectural and technical solutions. Compared to traditional mechanical ventilation, naturally ventilated offices have less need for remodeling and maintenance and can potentially give a better experience for the users. The 18-floor building hosts restaurants at street level, offices on the following five floors, and apartments on top. Each of the building's 40 apartments is unique, the sizes range from 44 sqm to 143 sqm with a variety of layouts. At the top of the two buildings, Snøhetta has designed roof terraces with a panoramic view of the city and a selection of plants that stimulates micro-habitats for endangered species. | https://static.wixstatic.com/media/9756fd_f0e83646b3fc4d77a5c245502c80f6cc~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1440,h_1498,al_c,q_90/Vertikal%20Nydalen%20(1).jpg Out of gallery 1/0 Out of gallery Private Public Pin Pin 0 x Appreciators 0 3D models Product 3.7K Views 0 Appreciated Appreciate Please login to appreciate Vertikal Nydalen Nydalen Allé 13C, 0484 Oslo, Norway snohetta.com Source: Published on Sep 29, 2023 by: Photographer Anna Salonen Premium Member More Buildings from Norway Facts: Up Up Architecture Office Snøhetta Norway Category: COMMERCIAL Mixed-use building Project Type: Post Type: Building Country: Norway Photographers: Architects: Snøhetta Area: 11000 m2 Year: 2023 City: Oslo Construction: - Client Avantor Description: the architects Text description by In the historic industrial area by the river Akerselva in Oslo, Norway, Snøhetta has designed a building that explores the possibilities of the future in ventilation.

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 Mixed-use building Post Type Building Project Type COMMERCIAL Country Norway Year 2023 Area 11000 m2 Client Avantor 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 | Forest House 02 is a minimalist and lightweight tiny home designed by Chu Van Dong of D12 Architect. Completed in 2018, the 45 m² house is located in the northern mountains of Vietnam, near Hanoi, and was created to serve as a serene retreat for 2–4 people. The house is notable for its innovative, treehouse-inspired design, which perches it on a steep hill and uses a playful "hammock deck" to integrate the living space with a large, existing tree trunk. The design of Forest House 02 prioritizes a minimal impact on the natural surroundings and an intimate connection with the environment. The house is built with a simple, lightweight structure using steel box frames, wood, glass, lightweight concrete, and clay stone. This approach reduces the load on the foundation and minimizes the construction's effect on the landscape. The house is supported by two steel pillars and rests on a rock drop-off, making it feel like it is floating among the treetops. The interior, at nearly 500 square feet, is arranged in an L-shape, accommodating a combined living room-kitchen area and a bedroom. Floor-to-ceiling glass windows and sliding doors liberate the views and maximize the interaction between the interior and the forest. Forest House 02 is distinguished by its material choices and unique features that blend comfort with the outdoors. A favorite feature is the "hammock-like" terrace, an outdoor playground with a net deck that wraps around a large tree trunk, offering a relaxing, semi-suspended space among the branches. The predominantly wooden interior is accented with stone and marble, creating a "luxe glamping" feel that is both rustic and elegant. As with Chu Van Dong's earlier work, the project demonstrates a commitment to creating low-cost yet well-designed residential spaces.
