HOSPITALITY | Cabin | Built by Paris-based Littow Architectes, Majamaja is a village of prefabricated, off-grid eco-cabins located in the Helsinki archipelago, Finland. The project was initiated by Finnish architect Pekka Littow, drawing inspiration from the traditional and minimalist building style of the local archipelago, as well as the harmony between humans and nature. The first phase of the project, including the Majamaja Wuorio Eco-Cabin, was completed in 2021. The cabins are designed for short-term rentals and offer a low-impact getaway for visitors. Each Majamaja cabin operates completely off the grid, equipped with a "patented autonomous sanitary-kitchen module". This module integrates a closed-circuit wastewater treatment system with energy storage. The water autonomy is achieved through the collection of rainwater and seawater, which is then purified. Energy is provided by a system that stores power from solar panels and wind. The prefabricated wooden units are designed for minimal environmental impact and can be assembled on remote sites without heavy machinery. The design is compact and features space-optimizing elements, such as multi-purpose and fold-away furniture, to maximize the small footprint. Expansive, floor-to-ceiling windows and large decks blur the boundary between the interior and the archipelago views. The interior uses a mix of dark and light wood to create a dynamic yet understated aesthetic.

RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | Hemp House by earthtopeoplestudio is an eco-conscious rehabilitation of an abandoned 1930s cabin in the Schoharie Valley, New York, led by Brittany and Jordan Weller, who subsequently founded the design studio Earth to People. The couple originally intended to build a new straw-bale house but instead chose a mindful, preservation-focused approach to revive the existing, dilapidated structure. The renovation was performed on a modest budget, prioritizing the use of locally sourced materials and salvaged items from the property itself, including fieldstone. The design philosophy focused on respecting the past to build a better, more sustainable future, challenging conventional, modern building standards. Materials were selected based on their regional availability and sustainable qualities. For instance, Eastern White Pine and Eastern Cedar were used for their proximity, reducing transport-related environmental impact. Charring the exterior timber using a slow, meditative, on-site process—rather than automated, high-heat methods—protected the wood naturally against decay, insects, and weather, while providing fire resistance. A final coat of natural tung oil was applied with assistance from the owners' children. The home's most significant sustainable upgrade, and the source of its name, is the addition of zero-carbon, plant-based hemp insulation. The insulation was applied in the form of hempcrete, a breathable material made from the woody core of the hemp plant mixed with a lime binder. This natural mixture regulates interior temperature and humidity by absorbing and releasing moisture, reducing the risk of mold and eliminating the need for plastic or vapor barriers. Inside, the cabin features a warm and inviting atmosphere, in contrast to its weathered exterior.

HOTEL | Prefabricated Cabin | LILELO, or Little Leisure Lodge, is an eco-hotel in Grazzano Badoglio, Italy, conceived by the Paris-based architecture practice Atelier LAVIT and completed in 2022. Located in the heart of Monferrato, a region known for its vineyards and woodland hills, the hotel consists of a cluster of four modular, eco-friendly cabins. The design is inspired by traditional haystacks, blending naturally with the rural landscape. The project was designed with a strong focus on sustainability and a minimal footprint. The cabins were largely prefabricated off-site, reducing construction time and on-site disruption. To adapt to the sloping terrain, the cabins are raised off the ground on slender pillars, minimizing their impact on the environment. The cabins feature a distinctive A-shaped roof with fully glazed triangular elevations, which also function as the load-bearing structure. This creates a strong visual identity while maximizing natural light and views. The cabins are constructed primarily from natural and eco-compatible materials. The exterior is clad in oil-treated larch, a material chosen for its durability and aging characteristics. The interior also features wood finishes throughout. The LILELO hotel comprises four cabins, each serving a specific function. Private suites: Three of the cabins are private guest suites, each with a continuous, open-plan interior. A deck at one end provides outdoor seating, leading to a sleeping area and a bathroom at the opposite end. Only the toilet is enclosed. Communal cabin: The fourth cabin serves as a common space. It features a large kitchen and a generous outdoor area with a table, intended as a gathering place for guests. The continuous interior layout and expansive windows create a seamless connection between the indoor spaces and the natural surroundings. The interior and furnishings are crafted from wood, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere that complements the cabins' natural setting.

Located in a spectacular landscape on the eastern plain of Corsica, France, the cabin was conceived to allow for full immersion in nature while maintaining comfort and protection. The name O_CASELLA is a play on the word "casella," which means "little box" or "shelter" in Corsican, reflecting the cabin's functional and minimalist nature. The design of O_CASELLA is based on two distinct, yet connected, modular volumes: a living module and a pergola. This structure addresses the demands of the warm Mediterranean climate by creating large, shaded areas for outdoor living. To minimize cost and environmental impact on the remote site, the entire cabin was prefabricated in a wood workshop. The modules were then transported fully assembled to the location, significantly reducing on-site construction time and disruption. The closed living module contains the kitchen, bathroom, and a flexible living/sleeping area. It provides framed views of the surrounding wild Corsican mountains and sea through large windows. The open-air pergola provides a ventilated and shaded space for outdoor relaxation, reading, or contemplating the landscape. A movable, mashrabiya-style shutter on a rail system allows occupants to regulate sunlight and air flow. The exterior structure and cladding are made from local Corsican larch (laricciu), a lightweight yet strong wood that contributes to the cabin's portability and durability. The interior walls and ceiling are lined with MDF wood, creating a cozy and protective atmosphere. A generous covered pergola extends the living space outdoors, with an outdoor shower providing an even more direct connection to nature. A steel beam on the façade serves a dual purpose: it hides the rail system for the sliding shutter panel and acts as a gutter for collecting rainwater. The movable mashrabiya panel offers passive cooling and sun protection. The modular system allows for flexibility in installation and configuration, showcasing a forward-thinking approach to sustainable architecture.

RESIDENTIAL | Modular Home | Designed by Estudio Borrachia Arquitectos in collaboration with GB Arquitectos, the LABT-20 Modular Home is a 31-square-meter residential prototype completed in 2022 in City Bell, Argentina. This small-scale project is part of a larger, serial production system of adaptable, prefabricated modules that can be modified to suit various needs and environments, from a vacation habitat in a remote landscape to part of a larger housing complex. The modules were designed to be versatile, compact, and to integrate harmoniously with their natural surroundings, offering a significant upgrade from a simple shelter by proposing a more complete living experience. The specific 10.5-meter-long LABT-20 unit in City Bell was installed as a permanent residence for one or two people, complementing an existing family home on the same plot. The module is crafted from wood and features an open living and dining area with furniture that can be converted into additional beds, offering spatial flexibility. A fixed kitchen and bathroom form the "wet core" of the home. At the opposite end, a bedroom is separated by sliding panels for privacy and can also integrate with the bathroom. The design emphasizes a connection to nature. A large window at the front opens onto an outdoor deck, which acts as a patio and provides access to a staircase. A "sailor ladder" on the side of the unit leads to a green roof, which serves as both a terrace and a viewpoint. This rooftop space, covered with local flora, adds to the home's usable area and helps it blend with the landscape. The entire structure, built in a workshop and delivered by truck, sits off the ground, ensuring minimal contact with the soil and functional continuity between indoor and outdoor spaces.

RESIDENTIAL | House | Constructed in 2019, the 87.23-square-meter House 8.5 is an atelier-style residence designed by the architecture studio DOG for a painter, his wife, child, and mother in Ninomiya, Japan. Situated along the historic Tokaido Road, the design is a poetic nod to the area's artistic heritage, a path once walked and drawn by the renowned ukiyo-e artist Hiroshige. The house presents a striking sculptural form, defined by its steep, sloping roof that doubles as a wall on the northern facade. In a neighborhood of relatively uniform three-story buildings, House 8.5 stands out through its dynamic form while maintaining a respectful scale. Its intriguing shape and visual angles vary depending on the viewer's position, offering a source of creative inspiration for the resident painter. The interior is cleverly organized to separate the family's living area from the artist's studio using a large, diagonal exhibition wall. This wall, oriented along the maximum diagonal length of the site, provides a prominent space for displaying the painter's work to both the family and the outside world. A glass entrance on the sloped facade offers a glimpse into the atelier from the street. The interplay between the diagonal exhibition wall and the sloped roof creates a three-dimensional effect, with spaces that feel alternately wide and narrow, high and low. Rooms are located on the ground floor, while the kitchen and living room are situated on the first floor. The interior features a white-tiled bathroom and finishes that complement the house's clean, geometric lines.

RETREAT & WELLNESS | Cabin | Named after the Finnish word for "candle," the Kynttilä cabin by ORTRAUM Architects is a tiny, sustainable meditation retreat located on a narrow, forested peninsula in eastern Finland. Sited on Lake Saimaa, near Savonlinna, the 15-square-meter cabin was designed with a Zen philosophy of "nothingness," stripping the design to its bare minimum to create a space for spiritual and visual focus. At night, the illuminated cabin shines on the lake like a warm candle, a key part of its design concept. The cabin was designed to minimize its impact on the protected nature reserve, and the process of building it reflects this commitment. To avoid damaging the forest vegetation, a temporary road was built for a single day to assemble the prefabricated structure. The vegetation was then restored to its original state once the construction was finished. The structure is primarily composed of cross-laminated timber (CLT), which is exposed on the interior to create a warm, minimalist, and natural aesthetic. The exterior is clad in larch boards, allowing the cabin to blend harmoniously with its surroundings. The gabled ends of the cabin feature full-height glazing, maximizing the connection to nature and providing panoramic views of the water on both sides of the peninsula. The interior includes built-in furniture and a sleeping bunk accessed by a ladder, demonstrating an efficient use of the compact space.

RESIDENTIAL | House | Designed, planned, and built by Sophie Kotter and Clemens Hoyer in 2019, KLEINHAUS is an experimental timber-construction project with a focus on sustainable, resource-saving, and regional materials. Inspired by its terraced hillside location, apple trees, and an old monastery wall, the small house is designed to integrate sensitively and phenomenologically with its surroundings. Its cubature follows the natural slope of the terrain, and this theme of multiple levels continues into the interior, creating a single, open-plan space for living, working, and sleeping. Instead of fixed partitions, the one-room space uses subtle shifts in level to define different zones, forming niches, seating areas, and platforms. A unique and central feature of the house is an apple tree that grows through the structure, serving as a living object. Inside, the material palette is raw and minimalist, with new insertions in concrete, birch plywood, and blackened steel, while original surfaces were preserved where possible. With the support of the clients, the project was realized in just six months.

HOSPITALITY | Tiny Home | Przylądek Marzeń is a coastal retreat project designed by LOOKA studio, combining a passion for travel, nature, luxury, and adventure into five uniquely themed holiday houses. The resort is located in Wieniotowo, Poland, near the Baltic Sea coast, and was built based on the owners' travel experiences and desire to create a perfect, relaxing getaway. The design of the holiday homes aims to combine comfortable accommodation with the surrounding wild nature, with each of the five houses named to evoke a specific feeling: Pasja (Passion), Wolność (Freedom), Spokój (Peace), Oddech (Breath), and Bliskość (Closeness). The homes, each 63 square meters, are equipped to a high hotel standard, and four of them feature private saunas and hot tubs on the terraces. The site's layout was meticulously planned by LOOKA studio, with the houses arranged radially to give each guest a sense of private space, and large terraces offer panoramic views of the surrounding fields and countryside. The project was developed in stages, with the expansion that revealed the Bliskość and Oddech houses being highlighted in mid-2022. In addition to the adult-focused amenities, the resort is designed to be family-friendly, featuring a "Kids Club" with three separate playrooms for different age groups, a large playground, and a bonfire area. The homes are also well-equipped for families, with safety gates on the stairs, baby baths, and high chairs. For active guests, the retreat is situated just 300 meters from the Velo Baltica cycling route and 400 meters from the beach. Guests can also order breakfast baskets filled with local products, which are delivered directly to their homes.

URBAN | University campus | Petronas University of Technology was founded in 1997 and is the region's largest academic centre for the study of civil, mechanical, chemical and electrical engineering. Fully funded by the Malaysian oil company Petronas, it aims to combine the best academic training with hands-on industrial experience to produce a new generation of graduates who can contribute to the country's industrial development. Located within the lush tropical landscape at Seri Iskandar, 300 kilometres north of the capital, Kuala Lumpur, the 450-hectare site is characterised by steep hills and lakes, which are a legacy of the area's history of tin mining. The design responds to the physical landscape of the site and to the weather patterns particular to this part of the world. While it can be intensely hot in the sun, in the monsoon season the skies open every afternoon to bring torrential rain, creating a cycle in which the ground is alternately scorched and soaked. To allow students to move around the campus freely, while shaded from the sun or protected from downpours, crescent-shaped canopies shelter the pedestrian paths that wind around the site. Held aloft by slender columns, these canopies intersect to encircle a landscaped park. Where possible, the planting and terrain have been preserved in their natural state, or reinstated, although some marshy land has been flooded to form a water installation. Arranged around the edge of the park are buildings for teaching and research, contained in four-storey blocks that tuck beneath the edges of the canopies. Cafés and other communal student facilities are located at the canopy intersections, which also correspond with the entrances to the housing accommodation. Marking the main entrance to the campus is the drum-like form of the resource centre. Containing a library and a multi-purpose auditorium, it is the university's chief social and ceremonial hub. The future expansion of the campus will see the completion of a sports stadium and a mosque − amenities that will be shared with the residents of a new town that is growing up close to the campus. | https://static.wixstatic.com/media/9756fd_8a11ef881c9b41b08543f0d7cc303330~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_2000,h_1124,al_c,q_90/Petronas%20University%20of%20Technology%20(1).jfif 1/0 Private Public Pin Pin 0 x Appreciators 0 3D models Product 3.6K Views 0 Appreciated Appreciate Please login to appreciate Petronas University of Technology Persiaran UTP, 32610 Seri Iskandar, Perak, Malaysia fosterandpartners.com Source: Published on Oct 1, 2023 by: Photographer Anna Salonen Premium Member More Buildings from Malaysia Facts: Up Up Architecture Office Foster + Partners United Kingdom Category: URBAN University campus Project Type: Post Type: Building Country: Malaysia Photographers: Architects: Foster + Partners Area: 240,000 m2 Year: 2004 City: Perak Construction: Client Universiti Teknologi Petronas Description: the architects Text description by Petronas University of Technology was founded in 1997 and is the region's largest academic centre for the study of civil, mechanical, chemical and electrical engineering.

RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | Following a devastating wildfire, self-taught designer and builder Jeff Waldman, along with his partner Molly, was inspired to construct the 198-square-foot Saltbox Cabin as a more modest replacement for their previous home. The project, documented on his YouTube channel, is a modern and humble take on a basic alpine hut. The 12x16.5-foot cabin was built by Waldman and Molly using salvaged and site-milled redwood from trees killed in the fire, as well as some new materials. The cabin features a simple layout with an open kitchen, a small bedroom, and a bathroom. Its defining saltbox roof is low-slung and provides a high ceiling on the taller side, creating a cozy yet spacious feel inside. The design also incorporates unconventional, exposed framing and post-and-beam construction. A portion of the $17,400 material cost went toward salvaged old-growth redwood and modern French doors and sliding windows. The project's philosophy focuses on sustainability, community, and skill-building. The use of fire-killed and salvaged wood highlights a regenerative approach to building. Waldman has shared the knowledge gained from the build on his "Elevated Spaces" platforms, including a build guide and video, to encourage others to take on similar projects.

RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | The Bookworm Cabin is a minimalist, 35-square-meter retreat located in a forest near the town of Mazovia, Poland, about 50 kilometers outside of Warsaw. Completed in 2019, the cabin was conceived by hospitality entrepreneur Bartłomiej Kraciuk and his wife, architect Marta Puchalska-Kraciuk, as a secluded escape for unplugging and focusing on reading. Marta Puchalska-Kraciuk adapted an existing concept from the Polish firm POLE Architekci and personalized it to create a haven for bibliophiles. Inspired by the surrounding forest and nearby sand dunes, the couple designed a space that encourages a deep connection with both literature and nature. The cabin's design prioritizes immersion in its surroundings. The asymmetrical structure, featuring a dramatic sloping roofline, is clad in pine and spruce to help it blend seamlessly into the wooded plot. A focal point of the design is the 16-foot-high, floor-to-ceiling windows on the front facade, which provide a dramatic view of the forest and flood the interior with natural light. Inside, the cabin functions as a personal library, with timber walls lined with bookshelves that hold hundreds of volumes. The interior features a neutral, cozy aesthetic with a wood-burning stove and comfortable seating. A spruce deck outside extends the living area into the woods. The small cabin makes efficient use of its space, with a 25-square-meter main level and a 10-square-meter sleeping loft. The ground floor includes a small kitchen and a living area, while a full bathroom is tucked beneath the stairs. To enforce a distraction-free environment, the cabin is intentionally without Wi-Fi, and cell reception is unreliable. For those tempted to use their devices, a small yellow box is provided for storing phones out of sight. Credits Designers: Bartłomiej Kraciuk and Marta Puchalska-Kraciuk, POLE Architekci.

RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | Located in Matanzas, Chile, the cabins La Loica and La Tagua were designed by Croxatto y Opazo Arquitectos as minimalist holiday homes that blend with the surrounding coastal environment. The project is defined by its strategic position on a steep, wind-swept hill, offering expansive views of the Pacific Ocean. The project's design focused on creating small-footprint volumes that respect the natural landscape while maximizing coastal views. Named after native bird species—La Loica and La Tagua—the cabins use vertically stacked rooms to create a lookout-tower effect. The cabins are situated on Lagunilla hill in Matanzas, Navidad, approximately 80 meters above sea level and 2.5 hours from Santiago. From this vantage point, they overlook the "Lobera," a large rock formation in the The cabins are built entirely of wood, using a timber pylon structure to support the main platform on the steep terrain. The exterior cladding is made from reclaimed oak sleepers treated with petroleum oils to protect against marine corrosion. Interiors feature a limited palette of light-colored wood, creating a warm, simple, and spacious atmosphere. The living area, kitchen, and bathroom are located on the main floor, with a ladder leading to the bedroom in the loft. Large, west-facing windows enhance the feeling of hovering over the ocean and dominate the horizon. North-facing terraces extend the interior spaces and are positioned to provide a shield against the region's strong southwest winds. To combat the small footprint (La Loica at 20 m² and La Tagua at 25 m²), the double-height living room creates a perception of more expansive space. The project initially operated off-grid, requiring the use of a water tank and electric generator for the construction process. The cabins were designed for two different clients, and the firm’s main goal was to connect the inhabitants with nature. Project credits Architects: Croxatto y Opazo Arquitectos.

The cabins were designed for two different clients, and the firm’s main goal was to connect the inhabitants with nature. Project credits Architects: Croxatto y Opazo Arquitectos.

URBAN PLANNING | Masterplan | Snøhetta's proposal for a new city district on a brownfield site in the Hungarian capital of Budapest centers on the deliberate use of water to define the site and drive its environmental approach. Designed for density, this urban vision creates a distinct identity for this new urban quarter next to the water. Central to the identity of Budapest is the Danube, Europe's second-longest river that runs through ten countries. Yet the city’s streets, public transport infrastructure, and ferry moorings impede access to the river in the center of the city, making direct contact with the water nearly impossible. | https://static.wixstatic.com/media/9756fd_4ff37ef246b14fc7a61c6d2e03398b1b~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_2000,h_1756,al_c,q_90/Budapest%20South%20Gate%20Masterplan%20(1).jpg Please Wait Budapest South Gate Masterplan (10).jpg Budapest South Gate Masterplan (11).jpg Budapest South Gate Masterplan (2).jpg 1/4 0 Product 3.7K Views 0 0 Pin Pin Private Public x Appreciators Appreciated Appreciate Please Log in Budapest South Gate Masterplan Lechner Ödön fasor, 1095 Budapest, Hungary Architects: Snøhetta Snøhetta Architecture Office Norway Area: Year: City: Client: 135 hectares 2020 Budapest BFK Budapest Development Centre Construction: - Category: URBAN PLANNING Project Type: Masterplan Post Type: Building Country: Hungary Photographers: the architects Description: Snøhetta's proposal for a new city district on a brownfield site in the Hungarian capital of Budapest centers on the deliberate use of water to define the site and drive its environmental approach.

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.
