RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | The Drovers' Bough is a 32-square-meter holiday cabin raised on stilts, designed by London-based Akin Studio for a 27-acre farm in southwest Herefordshire, England. The project was completed in 2021 and won the Architect's Journal Small Projects Award in 2022. Design and architectural features Response to site: Initially conceived as a treehouse, the project was adapted into a raised cabin after the trees were deemed unsuitable for structural support. This solution allows the cabin to sit among the treetops without damaging the trees, while also permitting sheep from the farm to pass underneath on the old drovers' track. Form and exterior: The cabin has a long, narrow, and tall form, referencing the local agricultural buildings found in Herefordshire. It is clad in rough-sawn larch, with the structure and stilts made from locally sourced green oak. Interior layout: The interior features an efficient, compact design. A staircase leads to the main level, which includes a double-height living area that opens onto a south-facing terrace. A galley kitchen and bathroom are tucked beneath a mezzanine bedroom. Connection to nature: Large, folding east- and west-facing windows can be opened completely, blurring the line between inside and outside and creating framed views of the surrounding trees and fields. Smaller, strategically placed windows provide intimate views and cross-ventilation. Material details: The interior incorporates locally sourced materials, including reclaimed floorboards and natural plaster. The bathroom features a spring-fed bath surrounded by a Moroccan tadelakt finish. Sustainability Sustainable construction: Akin Studio used screw-pile foundations to minimize disturbance to the land during construction. Resource efficiency: The cabin uses reclaimed floorboards and insulation, and electricity is generated by solar panels on the farm. Water is sourced from a local spring. Waste reduction: Doors and terrace decking were created from surplus oak offcuts to minimize waste. Credits Architects: Akin Studio (Louis Jobst and Ross Keenan). Structural Engineer: DAT Design.

RESIDENTIAL | Tiny Home | Designed by Rhode Island-based 3six0 Architecture, the Cottage in Woods is a small retreat for an artist located in Foster, Rhode Island, completed around 2013. The project site was a former rural farmland, now covered in dense woods and scattered rock outcroppings, and was selected to provide an escape from urban loft living. The 25' x 25' x 25' cubical volume is articulated with sharp angles, likened to a faceted stone, which serve to shed water and shape entries, allowing the structure to blend with the rocky landscape. The interior and exterior are connected through large sliding doors that open onto a sequence of Alaska yellow cedar decks and strategically placed boulders. These outdoor spaces expand the cottage's footprint, overlooking a small meadow and a historic fieldstone wall. The cottage's interior is a simple and uncluttered space, featuring Douglas fir built-in elements such as an entry bench, a desk with bookshelves, and kitchen counters with open firewood storage. White pine and Douglas fir boards line the walls and ceilings, while cabinets and window frames are finished with grey enamel paint. A unique feature is the sleeping nook, which connects to a 14-foot-tall pyramidal shaft leading to a skylight, offering a view of the night sky.

CULTURAL | Museum | The new building of the Museum of Ethnography in the Budapest City Park (Városliget) was opened (23/05/2022). The multiple award-winnig new museum building – which is part of Europe’s largest urban-cultural development called Liget Budapest Project - designed by FERENCZ, Marcel; Napur Architect - has dynamic yet simple lines simultaneously harmonised with the park environment and communicating with the surrounding urban area. The City Park (Városliget) is a familiar venue for the Museum of Ethnography: its collection debuted here at the 1896 Millennium Exhibition. The City Park (Városliget) is not an entirely unknown venue for the Museum of Ethnography, since it was here in 1896, at the National Millennium Exhibition. The collection, which now comprises 250 thousand items from the Carpathian Basin and from every corner of the world, has been hosted by various facilities since its establishment in 1872, but never in its history did it operate in a building designed specifically to cater to its needs. The current location, which once was home to the Hungarian Curia, is far from being suitable to meet the requirements of a museum, and is severely limited in terms of space and opportunities. As a result of the international design competition, successful construction, and completion in May 2022 the Museum of Ethnography was finally given a new home in a truly modern building of an all-round world-class standard that will satisfy professional requirements, while catering to the needs of the collection and visitors alike. According to the decision of an international jury, the competition was won by the Hungarian architectural studio, Napur Architect (beating leading world-class architect studios such as Zaha Hadid, BIG, etc.), whose building is distinguished by a dynamic yet simple design harmonised with the natural environment of the park while communicating with the urban texture of its surroundings. The gently curving lines enable the building to function as a gateway and a passage linking the city and the park. Sixty percent of the structure is under ground level, and thanks to the landscaped roof and the transparency of the sections over the ground, the new museum is adapted to its environment in its scale too. The grass-covered roof area will be a pleasant community space awaiting visitors to Városliget. The spectacular trademark of the building is the glass curtainwall surrounding the landscaped roof garden, reminiscent of two intertwined hillsides, with a unique characteristic, consisting of nearly half a million pixels, a raster made by metal grid based on ethnographic motifs selected from the museum's Hungarian and international collections. The pixels were inserted into a laser-cut aluminum grid by a special robot, more than 2,000 of which are attached to the building. The small cubes were made up of 20 Hungarian and 20 international contemporary reinterpretations of ethnographic motifs. The Museum of Ethnography is already recognized as one of the most exciting contemporary building in the continent. Evidence of that, it was voted for the Best Mega Futura Project of Europe (as part of the Liget Project) at the MIPIM Awards 2017, and has won the fiercely contested title of World’s Best Architecture at the 2018 International Property Awards. The project was one of over 1700 entries from 115 countries, scrutinised by a judging committee, which is chaired by four UK Lords as well as over 80 global experts. The new functions and flexible spaces of the modern and state-of-the-art museum building will facilitate the understanding of the historical heritage embodied by the collection as well as the various aspects of contemporary society. Besides passing down this historical heritage, the realisation of more recent professional and research themes and perspectives continues to be among the priority objectives of the museum, as confirmed by its mission. The creatively built spaces will open up new opportunities to communicate with visitors, enabling the presentation of the everyday objects, phenomena and ideas of the past and the present side by side. The purpose-built museum was designed with maximum consideration for the required functions, and thus facilitates the large-scale, modern, user-friendly operation of the institution to a significant degree, along with the visually enticing and diverse display of mankind’s material and spiritual heritage, as well as the collection comprising Hungarian and international material.

RESIDENTIAL | House | Situated on a narrow, triangular plot of land in the Horinouchi neighborhood of Suginami, Tokyo, the House in Horinouchi is a small, two-story residence designed by Mizuishi Architects Atelier for a couple and their daughter. Completed in 2011, the project is a testament to resourceful Japanese design, making ingenious use of a confined site nestled between a river and a road. The home's unusual shape is a direct response to the plot's acute angle, with the structure's volume pushing the boundaries of the permitted building envelope. The exterior is clad in metallic brown panels, creating a solid and distinct form with a cantilevered second floor that provides a small, sheltered parking space underneath. Despite its compact size of just 55.2 square meters (595 square feet) over two floors, plus a mezzanine loft, the interior feels more spacious than its footprint suggests. A "reverse" floor plan places the main living spaces on the second floor to take advantage of natural light and views over the adjacent river promenade. Large windows on both sides of the living area, including one that opens to a narrow balcony, frame long sightlines that extend the visual length of the house. A double-height ceiling in the kitchen area further enhances the sense of vertical space and connects to a small loft above, accessed by a ladder and illuminated by a large skylight. The ground floor houses a more private master bedroom, which, defined only by curtains, can expand visually into the adjacent stair hall.

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. 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. The space is largely dedicated to the room and a small outdoor staying area, with a diagonal cut in the front of the box-like structure directing the view towards the valley. This design approach reflects ET.co's philosophy of creating clear, robust, and easy-to-understand geometries, where the structure is inherently the architecture. The project also takes a sustainable approach by minimizing its footprint, allowing it to be "deplanted" without altering the environment significantly.

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.

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.

RESIDENTIAL | Extension | Completed in 2015, the Summer House Gravråk project is a renovation and extension of a traditional "Nordlandshus" on a remote coastal site near Andopen, in the Flakstad municipality of Norway's Lofoten archipelago. Designed by Carl-Viggo Hølmebakk with his team, the 25-square-meter project successfully blends the rehabilitation of the old timber structure with a new, contemporary addition. The design is a sensitive and sophisticated response to the site's stunning yet demanding coastal climate, characterized by spectacular mountains and harsh winds. The original concept involved encasing the weathered timber core within a new protective shell, allowing the old house to stand freely inside. While this initial plan was modified, the final result still features a distinct and respectful relationship between the old and new elements. The built project focuses on the renovation of the existing house and the construction of a westward extension. The addition acts as a "pure extension," echoing the geometrical principles of the original structure, notably its asymmetrical dormer windows, which allow light into the loft and frame views of the landscape. To withstand the extreme wind conditions of the area, the structures are anchored using different methods. The pre-existing Nordlandshus is secured to the ground with guy wires, while the new prefabricated pine glulam extension is wind-anchored to an encompassing concrete slab, which provides a stabilizing counterweight. This structural duality highlights the architects' adaptive and thoughtful approach to construction in a challenging environment. The material palette chosen for the Summer House Gravråk is both humble and resilient, allowing the building to integrate with its natural surroundings. The addition is clad in untreated spruce, a material selected to develop a natural, gray patina over time as it is exposed to sun and rain. The roof is covered with standing seam zinc roofing, offering durability against the elements. The interior features birch plywood cladding and pine flooring, providing a warm and modern finish. The windows are a two-fold design, with aluminum frames on the exterior for protection and wood on the interior to match the warm timber finishes. An artwork titled "this must be the place" by Swedish artist Jan Håfstrøm is integrated into the design, adding a unique and personal touch.

TRANSPORTATION | Marina | Yalıkavak is one of the lagoons on the south western coast of Turkey, which is becoming a popular destination for blue voyages along the Turkish Riviera. Unlike its provincial center Bodrum, which has faced a building boom in 1980s with the increase of touristic activities, Yalikavak is still among relatively calm, silent and untouched bays of the peninsula. The project for the renewal and extension of the existing marina complex, for the use of upper middle class in Yalikavak, has the burden of welcoming a big investment in this particular area, which consequently would also bring its own facilities. The main motivation of the design aimed both to correspond fully to the needs and desire of the new comers and to create a dialogue with the authentic qualities of the place, that would find its belongingness in the built and social aura of Yalikavak. This tendency may briefly be described as “being Mediterranean.” The complex was developed in three stages, constructed in consecutive years. Firstly the so called “island,” that was connected to the mainland by a narrow passageway, to include mainly restaurants, the pool-beach club and some retail units was designed and built. The programme also included sanitary and technical rooms needed for the mega-yachts that will dock at this part of the marina. Instead of a generic design that can easily become an alienated object for this place, an architecture derived from the local character, interpreted as a composition of masses with different heights, merging with the landscape and with the sea has emerged as a way to be integrated with Yalikavak, as a Mediterranean settlement. Alongside the masses that follows a grid structure in plan, atypical additions such as a linear wall and a tower accompanies the complex. Following the ancient cities like Kos, Rhodes and Siena that are fully cladded with a single material, travertine is used to render the whole complex which regards itself as a newcomer, but one of a familiar; not a hard-shell foreigner. This design approach was followed in the consecutive stages this time with wide overhangs creating a continuous shaded path that sometimes turns into a colonnade alongside the public circulation path. These stages are mainly composed of various shopping and recreational units, including a small boutique hotel and some offices. Sanitary, technical and storage rooms of the marina were again dispersed. Various rows of shopping units are united by series of overlapping overhangs on different levels. Above all, the intensive use of the complex by all levels of the society was given priority, which mainly conflicts with worldwide acceptance of such marinas, to be so called “elitist” spaces with limited access. At Palmarina, architecture-management conformity succeeded in vast amount of public use just adjacent to the exclusive marine world. | https://static.wixstatic.com/media/9756fd_b2f460ae41a247dca6aaf35130711e4e~mv2.webp 1/0 Private Public Pin Pin 0 x Appreciators 0 3D models Product 2.0K Views 0 Appreciated Appreciate Please login to appreciate YALIKAVAK PALMARINA Gökçebel Mahallesi, Koyu Mevkii, 48400 Bodrum/Muğla, Turkey emrearolat.com Source: Published on Oct 3, 2023 by: Photographer Anna Salonen Premium Member More Buildings from Turkey Facts: Up Up Architecture Office EAA - Emre Arolat Architecture Turkey Category: TRANSPORTATION Marina Project Type: Post Type: Building Country: Turkey Photographers: Architects: EAA - Emre Arolat Architecture Area: 14.000 m² Year: 2014 City: Bodrum Construction: Client Palmali Group Description: the architects Text description by Yalıkavak is one of the lagoons on the south western coast of Turkey, which is becoming a popular destination for blue voyages along the Turkish Riviera.

RESIDENTIAL | Renovation | The Selestranda House is a residential renovation and extension project located in Time, Norway, near the scenic southwest coast. Completed in 2016 by bark arkitekter, the project breathed new life into a 50-year-old cottage, originally designed in 1961 by architect Atle Sørby. The renovation successfully balanced the building's historical integrity with the functional demands of modern living. The house sits on a relatively flat plot surrounded by the distinctive landscape of the region, featuring long sloping fields, beaches, and dunes separated by old drystone walls. Its proximity to the shoreline places it within a landscape-preservation area, which meant the architects worked closely with local authorities during the building process. The architectural approach involved respecting the original design while modernizing the interior and expanding the living space. The cottage's original pitched roof with pulled-down gables, a reinterpretation of the traditional "Jærhus" typology, was preserved. This design is crucial for withstanding the harsh local weather conditions. To maintain this connection to the past, local craftsmen carefully removed, stored, and re-laid the original roof tiles, which were sourced from local brick factories. The renovation involved a strategic reorganization of the interior space. The walls and ceiling of the main volume were opened up to create a single large, open-plan common area. This space now accommodates the living, dining, and kitchen functions, creating a bright and expansive atmosphere. A new 88 m² annex was constructed to house private functions. This addition includes a bedroom, a bathroom, and a storage room, allowing for a clearer separation of public and private zones within the home. Large glass windows were installed to maximize natural light and offer the homeowners uninterrupted views of the surrounding coastal scenery.

Completed in 2016 by bark arkitekter, the project breathed new life into a 50-year-old cottage, originally designed in 1961 by architect Atle Sørby. The renovation successfully balanced the building's historical integrity with the functional demands of modern living. The house sits on a relatively flat plot surrounded by the distinctive landscape of the region, featuring long sloping fields, beaches, and dunes separated by old drystone walls. Its proximity to the shoreline places it within a landscape-preservation area, which meant the architects worked closely with local authorities during the building process. The architectural approach involved respecting the original design while modernizing the interior and expanding the living space. The cottage's original pitched roof with pulled-down gables, a reinterpretation of the traditional "Jærhus" typology, was preserved. This design is crucial for withstanding the harsh local weather conditions. To maintain this connection to the past, local craftsmen carefully removed, stored, and re-laid the original roof tiles, which were sourced from local brick factories. The renovation involved a strategic reorganization of the interior space. The walls and ceiling of the main volume were opened up to create a single large, open-plan common area. This space now accommodates the living, dining, and kitchen functions, creating a bright and expansive atmosphere. A new 88 m² annex was constructed to house private functions. This addition includes a bedroom, a bathroom, and a storage room, allowing for a clearer separation of public and private zones within the home. Large glass windows were installed to maximize natural light and offer the homeowners uninterrupted views of the surrounding coastal scenery. The interior features a minimalist, no-frills aesthetic, with a neutral color palette and light timber finishes creating a calm and functional living space. The architects focused on simple, high-quality materials to complement the building's modest scale.

PREFABRICATED | Cabin | H-eva is a prefabricated, self-sufficient cabin designed by Bordeaux-based firm A6A (Atelier 6 Architecture) and manufactured by My Little Loft in Sainte-Foy-la-Grande, France. The project is an exploration of micro-architecture that blends modern comfort with traditional materials, emphasizing a connection to the landscape and the awareness of daily needs. The cabin is manufactured in a workshop and transported to its final location on a flatbed truck, installed with a crane. This approach minimizes on-site impact and allows the cabin to be moved, leaving the land reversible for other uses. The exterior is clad in charred Douglas fir boards sourced from local, controlled forests. This shou sugi ban technique not only protects the wood from insects and weathering but also gives the cabin a deep black finish, reminiscent of traditional regional woodcutters' huts. Autonomous systems: H-eva is designed for self-sufficiency, with several integrated systems to reduce its reliance on external connections. Energy: A wood stove provides heating, while photovoltaic panels generate electricity. Water: Water is filtered through a micro wastewater treatment system integrated into the structure, and low-flow faucets minimize usage. Waste: The cabin utilizes a dry toilet system that operates without water waste or pollution. The interior offers a contrast between light and dark, with natural wood paneling. The design is open to the landscape, creating an immersive spatial experience. The modular design allows for elements to be connected to create larger living spaces. Various layouts and sizes, ranging from 16 to 38 m², are available to suit different uses and settings.

HOSPITALITY | Cabin | Situated at the Fazenda Pedra Alta farm in Joanópolis, Brazil, the Altar Ninho Cabin by Natureza Urbana is an elevated, sustainable, and compact retreat designed for deep immersion in nature. Completed in July 2023, the 20-square-meter treehouse-style cabin is part of Altar's broader initiative to create decentralized hotels, offering a glamping experience that uses technology to promote sustainable hospitality. The cabin was constructed with a prefabricated metallic structure to minimize environmental impact and reduce on-site construction time. Elevated on metal pillars to a height of up to four meters, the structure's off-the-ground position reduces its footprint on the landscape, preserves the natural topography, and gives guests expansive views over the surrounding Atlantic Forest and the Joanópolis Reservoir. Inside, the living, kitchen, and bedroom spaces are integrated into a single, light-filled environment, with a strategically placed large opening next to the queen-size bunk bed offering direct and immersive views of the reservoir. The bathroom is illuminated by a zenithal opening, providing views of the sky and treetops from within. The interior and exterior spaces are connected by a generous natural wood deck, where guests can enjoy a leisurely area with furniture, a shower, a barbecue grill, and a space for a bonfire. The project's design prioritizes a rational and sophisticated geometry, with a simple yet elegant aesthetic that seamlessly integrates with the forest environment. A 2022 collaboration with Tok&Stok, which included a line of furniture and decorative items designed by Natureza Urbana, informed the cabin's sustainable ethos.

COMMERCIAL | Office | The design of the Central Bank of Azerbaijan in Baku takes the economical high-rise typology as a starting point. The East-West oriented slab and its polygonal geometry rises then into a sculpturally twisted volume, glazed from top to bottom and open to its surroundings. The client asked for a symbolic building, open and light, to replace the hermetically-sealed structure of the former Headquarters. Situated on the Heydar-Aliyev Avenue, the 164 meters tall tower becomes a highly visible landmark of the capital city, a significant point of reference in the Baku skyline. Two other iconic buildings of modern Baku are located further South-West, on the same main road: the Baku Convention Center designed by Coop Himmelb(l)au (2015), and Zaha Hadid’s Heydar Aliyev Center (2012). A transparent, full-height atrium enhances the design, thereby generating a new high-rise typology that transforms the traditional office block into a vibrant place to work. The atrium functions as a ​“vertical city” with platforms functionally connecting spaces across the atrium and dividing it horizontally into urban-like neighborhoods. Numerous ​“short circuit” stairs and ramps connect several of the office floors across this ample interstitial space, creating informal meeting lounges and circulation patterns, similar to streets and passages of a city. Additionally, hanging gardens and daylight reflecting cones bring light and vegetation into the microclimate of the Vertical City. The atrium thus unfolds as a pleasant and dynamic communication forum, providing stunning views of the city of Baku and the Caspian Sea. As an economically optimized building, the Central Bank of Azerbaijan is equipped with a state-of-the-art sustainable energy concept, employing solar gain, passive sun protection, and natural ventilation for cooling and heating, as well as natural daylighting. | https://static.wixstatic.com/media/9756fd_03fdb92c94da4f59925f25af3c62a9d8~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1800,h_1125,al_c,q_90/Central%20Bank%20of%20Azerbaijan%20(4).jpg Please Wait Central Bank of Azerbaijan (4).jpg Central Bank of Azerbaijan (2).jpg Central Bank of Azerbaijan (3).jpg 1/1 0 Product 3.5K Views 0 0 Pin Pin Private Public x Appreciators Appreciated Appreciate Please Log in Central Bank of Azerbaijan Heydar Aliyev Ave 32, Bakı, Azerbaijan Architects: Coop Himmelb(l)au Coop Himmelb(l)au Architecture Office Austria Area: Year: City: Client: 33 200 m² 2024 Baku Central Bank of Azerbaijan Construction: Category: COMMERCIAL Project Type: Office Post Type: Building Country: Azerbaijan Photographers: CBA construction, k18.at the architects Description: The design of the Central Bank of Azerbaijan in Baku takes the economical high-rise typology as a starting point.
