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.

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.

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.

RESIDENTIAL | Cottage | The Small Vacation Cottages u Gai are a pair of small summer houses located on a steep hillside in Radomice, Poland, with panoramic views of the Karkonosze Mountains. Designed by Polish firm SAN Architektura, the project was inspired by a nearby closed quarry and a desire to reflect the natural landscape. The cottages are designed to look like freely scattered, hewn boulders on the slope, with plans for a third, larger building—a single-family home for the owners—to be added in the future. The design of the 81-square-meter cottages is both simple and strategic. Built on square plans, they feature a ground-floor living area with a kitchenette, a bathroom, and a dressing room. A mezzanine bedroom on a diagonal to the main floor is aligned with the roofline to create a sense of height and maximize usable space. The interiors emphasize the views, with large, 4.5-meter-wide panoramic windows framing the mountain landscape. The construction and materials were chosen to harmonize with the wild surroundings. The structures were built using the HBE glued timber system, eliminating the need for additional interior wall finishes. The exterior is clad in Siberian larch, which was left untreated to allow it to patinate naturally under the sun's UV rays, helping the cottages blend into the landscape. The base of each cottage is finished with hewn stone, referencing the nearby quarry and grounding the structures to the site. The cottages are slightly elevated from their stone plinths, creating the impression that they are levitating over the slope. This design choice not only enhances the visual effect but also brings occupants closer to the surrounding nature, as bushes seen from the living room resemble treetops. To preserve the natural, wild character of the plot, the architects opted for unpaved paths using aggregate from the local area and avoided adding fences.

COMMERCIAL | Automotive experience center | One of the central design ideas for the new BMW building was to expand the existing configuration of the BMW Tower and Museum with an additional element to create a spatial, ideal and identity-forming architectural ensemble. The design proposal by Coop Himmelb(l)au consists of a large transparent hall with a sculptural roof and a double cone, informed by the relation to the existing company headquarters building. BMW Welt is composed of five thematic blocks: Hall, Premiere, Forum, Gastronomy and Double Cone. The technical solutions used for BMW Welt are based on the office’s previous experiences with large halls, and involve a fusion of low-tech and high-tech approaches. In the Hall, specific lighting, whether natural or artificial, ambient climate and acoustics provide people with a feeling of well-being. The underlying concept for the technological building systems integrates these parameters in an interdependent manner, adapting their range of influence by way of controlled mechanisms. A major goal in designing the systems is to save energy, which is achieved by minimizing the mechanical apparatus for ventilation, heating and cooling. The gigantic Hall is thus conceived as a solar-heated, naturally-ventilated subclimatic area, a multifunctional space that does not follow the otherwise customary requirements for heating and ventilation. Natural air supply is generated through thermal currents, wind pressure and turbulence as air accumulates within the façade and roof projection, where automatically-controlled vents allow for air intake and outflow. This natural ventilation system provides sufficient fresh air to the Hall. A 3D simulation of thermal currents and air streams was conducted to investigate the spread of exhaust fumes from cars driven on the Premiere level. Iterative calculations were then carried out to optimize the placement of air intake and outflow vents for natural air exchange so that the CO2 remains below the permitted threshold value of around 10%. The key task of the new BMW Welt is to deliver cars. In the Premiere section, everything is geared towards enhancing the experience of delivery. Because of the exhaust gases that this involves, special considerations and calculations had to be made for ventilation since the Premiere is open to the Hall, the major space in this world of experience. Beyond merely fine-tuning the volume of air intake and outflow currents, it was necessary to directly extract the exhaust fumes and pump-in fresh air. Planning here was based on an assumed turnover of 40 cars per hour or 250 cars per day. The Forum is a building within the building, designed to host events with maximum flexibility. This volume capable of receiving up to 1,200 persons is equipped to meet all the specifications for a full-fledged theater or conference room. The ventilation and soundproofing technologies used to guarantee optimal comfort – a challenge considering its location in the middle of other functional areas. The great quantity of technical equipment is integrated in such a way as to have its own presence in the space. Air is supplied laterally via air jets and is extracted through the ceiling as exhaust air. Based on the number of people in the room, infinite adjustment of the required air volume is possible. An event space offering all the options of a public assembly place. The Double Cone is used as an exhibition space and for special events. Air is brought in by means of a low-induction system placed along the base of the façade and then flows into the roof through openings located at the top of the cone. Floor air conditioning and air circulation coolers present in the wall and floor areas ensure the necessary comfort level. During spring and autumn, natural ventilation via façade shutters is used. The structural design of BMW Welt represented a special challenge as to determining how to conduct supply lines. Because of the vast support-free space, which is borne by only 11 columns plus the elevator shafts, the supply cross-sections for the Lounge floors and the Gastronomy tower had to be integrated into the few supporting core cross-sections. | https://static.wixstatic.com/media/9756fd_5da3bd49293649dfa875b54891596bee~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1800,h_1270,al_c,q_90/BMW%20Welt%20in%20Munich%20(4).jpg Out of gallery 1/0 Out of gallery Private Public Pin Pin 0 x Appreciators 0 3D models Product 3.9K Views 0 Appreciated Appreciate Please login to appreciate BMW Welt Am Olympiapark 1, 80809 München, Germany coop-himmelblau.at Source: Published on Oct 3, 2023 by: CG artist Carl Hecht Premium Member More Buildings from Germany Facts: Up Up Architecture Office Coop Himmelb(l)au Austria Category: COMMERCIAL Automotive experience center Project Type: Post Type: Building Country: Germany Marcus Buck Photographers: Architects: Coop Himmelb(l)au Area: 73,000 m² Year: 2007 City: Munich Construction: Client BMW AG Description: the architects Text description by One of the central design ideas for the new BMW building was to expand the existing configuration of the BMW Tower and Museum with an additional element to create a spatial, ideal and identity-forming architectural ensemble.

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).

Completed in 2016, the house is located in the Santa Rosa valley, California, and is situated to maximize expansive views over the landscape. Design and architectural features Modular structure: The project is composed of two main prefabricated modules: a 640-square-foot main house and a 330-square-foot guesthouse. Minimalist aesthetic: The structures were designed as simple, open-sided boxes, echoing a minimalist aesthetic that the client favored. They sit on concrete plinths and are positioned to make the house feel as light on the ground as possible. Weathering steel facade: The exterior is clad in corrugated weathering steel (Corten), which has a distinctive rusting finish that helps the building blend into the natural, rural landscape of seasonal grasses and oak trees. Expansive glass walls: Both modules feature nine-foot-tall sliding glass walls, enabling the interiors to open up to the outdoors and connect inhabitants with the surrounding nature. Cantilevered deck: An outdoor porch cantilevers over the valley, extending the living space out into the landscape. This posed a unique construction challenge that required a separate module to be attached on-site. Ipe and oak interiors: The interior is lined with durable, textured ipe wood, which contrasts with the minimalist Cor-Ten exterior. The main living space features an oak "bedbox," and the cabinetry uses oiled oak. Interior layout: The main house functions like a studio, with an open-plan kitchen, living area, and a semi-enclosed sleeping space. Recessed pocket doors and screens, including a drop-down insect screen, minimize visual clutter. Construction and delivery The prefab modules were designed in Minnesota by Alchemy Architects and were fabricated in a factory in Oregon. The modules were delivered to the California site about 90% complete, significantly reducing on-site construction time and labor. Steel accessories, such as stairs and porch railings, were prefabricated separately in Minnesota and also delivered to the site. A crane was used to carefully place the structures on the concrete foundations between the existing oak trees. Credits Architects: Alchemy Architects (Lead Architect: Geoffrey Warner).

RESIDENTIAL | House | The Enough House is a 700-square-foot timber-framed dwelling designed by MacKay-Lyons Sweetapple Architects as a prototype for minimalist living with a "rural industrial" aesthetic. Completed in 2015, the project is located in Upper Kingsburg, Nova Scotia, on architect Brian MacKay-Lyons's Shobac farm, a "Ghost Architectural Laboratory" and campus that serves as a research ground for the firm. The small, gabled volume functions as a gatehouse on the property, creating a dialogue with adjacent historic structures. Clad in Cor-Ten steel, its rusty orange exterior intentionally contrasts with the surrounding landscape of rolling pastures and the silver-grey finishes of other campus buildings. The design is practical for the region's climate, with a lack of eaves to prevent ice dam formation in an area known for a high number of freeze/thaw cycles. Raised off the ground by three reinforced concrete fin walls, the structure is designed to "touch the land lightly," a principle inspired by Australian architect Glenn Murcutt. These fin walls also extend to shape an entry dooryard and a fire court, integrating the house with its immediate surroundings. Inside, the home explores the beauty of raw materials and simple construction. Exposed wood framing and Douglas fir plywood sheathing create a warm, rustic interior, with Cor-Ten steel details echoing the exterior. A central plywood-sheathed core contains the more "finished" service areas, like the kitchen and bathroom. Expansive windows, including a large corner window, frame views of the pastoral valley and the Atlantic coast, connecting the minimalist interior with the dramatic landscape.

CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURE | Mixed-use Development | Two iconic towers designed by Jean Nouvel for Block 2 of the Frasers Broadway project transform the skyline of Sydney. The program includes a 34-story residential apartment tower and a 12-story serviced apartment tower set on a common retail podium.The 130 meter high building is the culminating landmark of the multi-building Frasers Broadway project, located on a former brewery site near the downtown. A vertical landscape designed in collaboration with French botanist and artist Patrick Blanc covers approximately 50% of the building’s façade area. The landscape extends the planted area of the adjacent urban park vertically onto the building, creating an exceptional living environment for the building’s residents and a powerful green icon on the Sydney skyline. Hydroponic walls and low profile horizontal planters and support cables integrated into the tower’s facades support a variety of climbing and spreading plants. The plants act as a natural sun control device that changes with the seasons, shielding the apartments from direct sun during summer while admitting a maximum of sunlight in winter. A combination of sustainable design strategies makes Block 2 the first residential tower in Sydney to achieve a 6 Green Star rating.The apartments and serviced apartments feature indoor/outdoor loggias that extend the living space outside to take maximum advantage of Sydney’s temperate climate. On the north and east façades, the loggias extend in from the façade to protect residents from noise, wind and sun. On the south and west they extend out from the façade to take maximum advantage of views toward the park. | https://static.wixstatic.com/media/9756fd_2ee9853cd5a54937913e27a65e21ac03~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_531,h_710,al_c,q_85/One%20Central%20Park3.jpg 1/0 Private Public Pin Pin 0 x Appreciators 0 3D models Product 2.7K Views 0 Appreciated Appreciate Please login to appreciate One Central Park 614/3 Carlton Street, Chippendale NSW 2008, Australia Source: Published on Sep 26, 2023 by: Architectural Designer Grace Lee Premium Member More Buildings from Australia Facts: Up Up Architecture Office Ateliers Jean Nouvel France Category: CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURE Mixed-use Development Project Type: Post Type: Building Country: Australia Photographers: Architects: Ateliers Jean Nouvel and PTW Architects Area: 97,000 m² Year: 2014 City: Sydney Construction: - Client - Description: the architects Text description by Two iconic towers designed by Jean Nouvel for Block 2 of the Frasers Broadway project transform the skyline of Sydney.

The building is sited on a large plaza bisected by a sunken Wadi, a pedestrian park. Over 340,000 square feet of permanent and temporary exhibition space will feature works related to arts and architecture in the peninsula. Other programmatic elements include a 150-seat auditorium, a destination restaurant and terrace. The Saudi Arabian world heritage sites of Madain Saleh and At-Turaif inspired the Museum's chiseled, crystalline form.

HOTELS | Eco-lofts | Nestled in the arid, boulder-strewn terrain of the Valle de Guadalupe in Baja California, Mexico, the Hotel Encuentro Guadalupe is an "antiresort" that seeks to connect guests with the rugged landscape rather than separate them from it. Designed by Tijuana-based architect Jorge Gracia of Graciastudio, the hotel comprises 20 individual, elevated "eco-lofts" that appear to hover over the hillside, offering both privacy and panoramic views of the wine valley. The project was completed in 2011 and is part of a larger, 99-hectare development that includes a winery and a residential area. From its inception, the design philosophy prioritized environmental preservation. To minimize interference with the land, the individual rooms were constructed as steel-framed pods and elevated on stilts, avoiding direct contact with the soil and allowing the local flora and fauna to continue thriving underneath. This "deluxe camping" concept provides guests with modern comforts while maintaining an immersive connection to the natural surroundings. The exterior cladding of the eco-lofts is made of Corten steel, a material chosen for its rust-like appearance, which weathers over time to achieve a color palette that blends harmoniously with the desert environment. The hotel's design embraces minimalism and simplicity, both in its materials and its layout. The interiors are clean and sober, focusing the guest's attention on the dramatic views framed by large windows. Outside, cantilevered decks and strategically placed pools are integrated into the rocky landscape, providing spaces for relaxation and contemplation. The approach to construction was also influenced by local economic and material conditions, with Graciastudio leveraging prefabricated construction techniques and locally available materials to realize the project efficiently. For architect Jorge Gracia, the Hotel Encuentro Guadalupe reflects a commitment to sustainable, region-specific design that responds to the unique character of its location. The project has been recognized internationally for its innovative approach, which successfully balances high-end hospitality with ecological sensitivity.

RESIDENTIAL | House | A-Frame is a single-family private residence located on Lake Bomoseen in Vermont. The project site is on the western shore of the lake and adjacent to the vehicular bridge. The structure is designed for maximum views and ground access to the lake front. The main gable structure accentuates the eastern lake views with floor to ceiling glass and is bookended with an open deck that leads to the lake and boat dock. The secondary gable form provides views to the south from the first floor and upper roof deck. The project program is divided into two separate living spaces. The primary living space includes entry mudroom, powder room, utility, kitchen, dining, living, two-bedroom suite, primary bedroom suite, upper roof deck, and two car garage. The secondary living space includes a separate entry, living space, kitchen, dining and two bedroom suite with roof deck access. Conceptually, the project is inspired by the traditional mid-century A-frame, a residential building structure typology. The project consists of two perpendicular gables. The east/west ridge gable is informed by the eastern lake view and the perpendicular north/south gable cants westerly to capture the views down the lake to the south. The second-floor roof deck is defined by open roof trusses and slat-work that visually extends the a-frame structure.

HOSPITALITY | Yacht club | The yacht club is the symbolic centrepiece of Monaco’s remodelled harbour front. Celebrating the principality’s spectacular coastline and its nautical heritage, its series of deck-like terraces that step up along the harbour to offer unrivalled views out to races at sea, or inland over the course of the renowned Formula 1 Grand Prix circuit. The building is located on an area of reclaimed land, which extends the city’s existing marina eastwards and can accommodate a range of craft, from sailing boats to 100-metre super yachts. The club is entered via a glazed atrium that frames views out over the harbour to the palace. On the first floor are a clubroom, bar and restaurant. Above is a double-height function space, and above that an apartment for the club secretary and a series of ‘cabins’ for visiting guests. The uppermost floors accommodate a range of event spaces. The observation decks are shaded by retractable fabric screens supported by a mast and booms. The harbour elevations are fully glazed and shaded by louvres, and can be opened up to provide uninterrupted views. Photovoltaic cells, solar thermal panels and sea-water cooling systems have all been integrated to ensure the building sets new sustainability standards.  The scheme also introduces shops and other amenities at quay level to animate the harbour. The lower floors accommodate a rowing club and sailing school, whose sliding doors encourage activities to spread out on to the quayside. Designed largely for children, the school provides classrooms, workshops and lofts for small boats. Inland, there is a landscaped park on the roof of the sailing school and nautical society. Bounded on one side by the club’s restaurant terrace and leading on the other side to a new exhibition hall, it complements the sequence of green spaces in this densely populated city and forms a new link in the pedestrian route between the quayside and Casino Square. | https://static.wixstatic.com/media/9756fd_d31a056cd6284556957e02f8db29ee0b~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_2000,h_996,al_c,q_90/Yacht%20Club%20de%20Monaco%20(1).jfif 1/0 Private Public Pin Pin 0 x Appreciators 0 3D models Product 3.0K Views 0 Appreciated Appreciate Please login to appreciate Yacht Club de Monaco Quai Louis II, 98000 Monaco fosterandpartners.com Source: Published on Oct 1, 2023 by: Photographer Anna Salonen Premium Member More Buildings from Monaco Facts: Up Up Architecture Office Foster + Partners United Kingdom Category: HOSPITALITY Yacht club Project Type: Post Type: Building Country: Monaco Photographers: Architects: Foster + Partners Area: 9,000 m2 Year: 2014 City: Monaco Construction: Client Service Des Travaux Publics de Monaco Description: the architects Text description by The yacht club is the symbolic centrepiece of Monaco’s remodelled harbour front.

RESIDENTIAL | Modular House | The Gimme Shelter project is a distinctive and adaptable modular home designed by Swedish architect Emelie Holmberg for her own use in the pristine woodland on the island of Väddö, Sweden. The house, completed in 2021, served as a prototype for a new housing model and later led to the creation of the company gimme shelter solutions, founded by Holmberg in 2018. The design consists of two separate wooden modules: a larger, 32-square-meter living unit and a smaller, 10-square-meter sleeping unit. These units are linked by a sheltered outdoor space, allowing for a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor life. The project's aesthetic is influenced by traditional Swedish building methods, particularly the use of prefabricated parts to reduce cost, and by Japanese architecture, which emphasizes simplicity and a connection to nature. The modules feature wide verandas and large windows that frame panoramic views of the surrounding forest, further blurring the line between the built and natural environment. The gimme shelter solutions company builds upon this initial project by offering a "Lego-like" system of prefabricated modular homes. Customers can combine various modules of different sizes to create a personalized, unique home that suits their needs and budget. This scalable approach allows homeowners to start small and expand their living space over time if their circumstances change. Beyond the standard living units, the company also offers specialized modules such as yoga studios, workshops, and saunas, all designed with sustainability in mind.
