- Casa Cono | Estudio Atemporal | ZHIG
RESIDENTIAL | House | Completed in 2024, Casa Cono by Estudio Atemporal is a tranquil woodland retreat located in the forests near Valle de Bravo, Mexico. Designed for a young couple seeking an escape from urban intensity, the project harmoniously integrates living, working, and daily routines within its serene natural setting. The design respects the land's slope and incorporates existing trees, making nature a key part of the architecture. The structure consists of two rectangular volumes layered and rotated to create an L-shaped configuration that organizes the home's program on two levels and frames views of the forest. Translucent facades give the house a light appearance and connect the interior and exterior. Large windows frame views of the outdoors. The ground floor includes public areas like a patio, study, and open living, dining, and kitchen area. An internal staircase leads to the private areas upstairs. The house appears to float on the landscape from a distance, with views opening up upon entry. Changes in scale and materials create a warmer feel in the upper-level bedrooms.

- The Australian Centre for Contemporary Art (ACCA) | Wood Marsh Architecture | ZHIG
PUBLIC | Multi-use facility | Completed in 2002, the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art (ACCA) is a multi-use facility built for the Victorian State Government in Melbourne, Australia. The project combines the existing infrastructure of three organisations, ACCA, Chunky Move and Playbox, to create a unified major presence in the Arts, and form a precinct with the existing Malthouse theatre building located on the adjacent site. The building is designed to make reference to its primary function; it is a sculpture in which to exhibit art. The bold form and materiality of the façade is intended to create a strong presence and express with optimism, and in a frugal sense, a robust laboratory for experimentation. Those using the building are meant to feel comfortably challenged. | https://static.wixstatic.com/media/9756fd_e6be3ef126ec4407969cd717274a9f7b~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_2400,h_1490,al_c,q_90/The%20Australian%20Centre%20for%20Contemporary%20Art%20(ACCA).jpg Please Wait The Australian Centre for Contemporary Art (ACCA)4.jpg The Australian Centre for Contemporary Art (ACCA)3.jpg The Australian Centre for Contemporary Art (ACCA)2.jpg 1/2 0 Product 3.1K Views 0 0 Pin Pin Private Public x Appreciators Appreciated Appreciate Please Log in The Australian Centre for Contemporary Art (ACCA) 111 Sturt St, Southbank VIC 3006, Australia.

- Hadar's House | Asante Architecture & Design | ZHIG
RESIDENTIAL | House | Hadar's House is a small, sustainable home that coexists harmoniously with its surroundings on the coast of Stokkøya, a Norwegian island known for its natural beauty and rugged shoreline. Designed by Stockholm-based Asante Architecture & Design, the house was completed in 2015 as part of a rural development project called "Bygda 2.0," which focuses on creating a dynamic, modern village with an emphasis on sustainable living, architecture, and gastronomy. The house was designed for Hadar Öster, a chef on the island, who wanted a home with stunning, uninterrupted sea views. The design of the 60 m² house prioritizes functionality and respect for the environment. The house is composed of two geometric, interlocking volumes. The structure is built partly on a concrete slab and partly on wooden pillars, which lifts the home over the steep, rocky terrain and minimizes its footprint. A sedum grass roof adds greenery and helps the building blend into the landscape. The exterior is clad in charred wood, a traditional Japanese technique (Shou Sugi Ban) adapted to the harsh Norwegian weather. This creates a low-maintenance, resilient façade that weathers naturally. The smaller, lower volume contains the entrance and bathroom, making it easily accessible from the road. The larger, higher volume contains the main living spaces and is oriented toward the sea for maximum views. The interior of Hadar's House is warm, cozy, and maximizes light and views. Large, panoramic windows in the living areas and even the bathroom frame the sea and the sky, fulfilling the client's dream of a home connected to its surroundings. Throughout the house, wooden panels with different treatments add warmth and variety. Exposed trapezoidal metal roofing sheets in the interior ceiling contrast with the wood and reflect light, creating a playful and airy feel. A wood-burning fireplace and efficient heating system ensure year-round comfort. The master bath features a unique, sunken bathtub perfectly positioned for uninterrupted views of the sea and, on clear nights, the Northern Lights. Recognition and legacy Hadar's House has received numerous accolades for its creative and sensitive design, including a Golden A' Design Award in 2018.

- Wooden House CM | Bruno Vanbesien | ZHIG
RESIDENTIAL | House | The Wooden House CM is a detached, 220 m² family home located in Asse, a suburb of Brussels, Belgium. Designed by architects Bruno Vanbesien and Christophe Meersman, the house was completed in 2011 on a vacant lot situated between two existing homes. The design masterfully balances discretion on its facade with transparency and flexibility on the inside, creating an oasis for its inhabitants. The design of Wooden House CM is a testament to the successful collaboration between the architect and the owner, who was also an architectural assistant. From the street, the home appears deceptively modest. Its facade and roof are uniformly clad in thin strips of tropical afromosia hardwood, which will weather naturally over time. The varying thickness of the vertical cladding creates an intriguing visual texture and a sense of depth, with the house's entryway and garage door subtly concealed within the rhythmic wood. The back of the house stands in stark contrast to its reserved front. The architects maximized transparency with large windows on the ground and first floors that can be opened wide, blurring the boundary between the interior and the outdoors. A notable feature is the bedroom on the second floor, which has a glass door that slides away to allow the bed to be rolled out onto a terrace for sleeping under the stars. This playful design element extends the living space and fosters a deep connection to nature. The use of materials, particularly the hardwood cladding, is consistent throughout the exterior. The natural stone flooring, made of basalt tiles, is used in the various rooms and continues onto the outdoor terraces, further maximizing the effect of a seamless transition between inside and outside. The interior was thoughtfully designed to maximize light and space within the constraints of the compact lot. A light shaft positioned directly above a minimalist metal staircase funnels daylight down through the different floors, making the interior feel bright and spacious. The thin construction of the staircase further enhances this effect. Custom-designed interior elements, including the kitchen, bathrooms, and lighting, were carefully crafted to complement the architecture. The deliberate alignment of furniture and thoughtful details emphasizes the architectural language and gives the house its unique character.

- Villa Backyard | TOUCH Architect | ZHIG
RESIDENTIAL | House | Located in the coastal suburb of Chachoengsao, east of Bangkok, Thailand, Villa Backyard is a 90-square-meter single-family residence designed by TOUCH Architect and completed in 2021. The project was built on a site with an artificial pond, surrounded by an environment affected by excessive soil salinity from the nearby Gulf of Thailand. The design responds directly to these challenging site conditions with a dramatically sloping roof that channels fresh rainwater into the pond to help dilute the brackish water. The house originated from a simple cube that was diagonally sliced in half, resulting in a wedge-like volume. The steeply sloped, cantilevered roof and wall not only drain water but also shade the interior. Large glazing allows the interior to open up to views of the water, with the level of openness adjusted to the functions within. The highest level of openness is at the entrance terrace, while middle and low-level openings allow for panoramic views from the living space and bedroom, respectively, whether sitting or reclining. This creates a "hierarchical openness" that celebrates the water's edge. The cantilevered outdoor terrace features a steel grating floor, which allows rainwater to fall directly into the pond below and helps cool the air through water evaporation. Aluminum trellis panels are used on other walls for heat protection. The interior features an open-plan living space designed for multipurpose use. The simple and functional design accommodates various activities like family gatherings and dining, and can also serve as an extended sleeping area. The house utilizes a lightweight steel structure with an asphalt shingle roof, facilitating quick construction.

The project was built on a site with an artificial pond, surrounded by an environment affected by excessive soil salinity from the nearby Gulf of Thailand. The design responds directly to these challenging site conditions with a dramatically sloping roof that channels fresh rainwater into the pond to help dilute the brackish water. The house originated from a simple cube that was diagonally sliced in half, resulting in a wedge-like volume. The steeply sloped, cantilevered roof and wall not only drain water but also shade the interior. Large glazing allows the interior to open up to views of the water, with the level of openness adjusted to the functions within. The highest level of openness is at the entrance terrace, while middle and low-level openings allow for panoramic views from the living space and bedroom, respectively, whether sitting or reclining. This creates a "hierarchical openness" that celebrates the water's edge.

- Gilay Estate | Cameron Anderson Architects | ZHIG
ACCOMMODATIONS | Retreat | The Gilay Estate is a 40 m², off-grid luxury accommodation designed by Cameron Anderson Architects (CAARCH). Located in Quirindi, New South Wales, Australia, the project was completed in 2024 and is available for short-term stays. The estate is a minimalist, single-story retreat that honors the local landscape and incorporates sustainable, self-sufficient features. The name "Gilay" is the Gomeroi word for moon, a detail that reflects the design team's consultation with a local Aboriginal Elder during the process. The structure features a distinctive, sloping sheet metal roof with deep overhangs that protect the building from the harsh Australian sun. This roof form echoes the simple silhouette of a tent or shed, lending a humble, earthy feel. The exterior is clad in charred timber, a nod to the traditional Indigenous practice of fire management and regeneration. The interior uses warm, natural timber, symbolizing regrowth. The 40 m² interior is largely open-plan, with the king-sized bed integrated into the main living space to maximize the experience of the panoramic views. Large double-glazed windows and a curved cutaway in the roof are strategically placed to frame spectacular views of the Liverpool Plains, the nearby mountain ranges, and the sky for moon-gazing. The Gilay Estate was designed for full off-grid functionality and self-sufficiency. A 6.4-kW rooftop solar array with an 11.4-kW battery provides all of the building's energy. A 60,000-liter tank collects 100% of the rainwater needed for the accommodation. Strategic glazing and generous roof overhangs minimize heat gain from the summer sun. The project also incorporates greywater systems and native landscaping, further cementing its low-impact approach.

- Lake Cabin | FAM Architekti | ZHIG
RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | Completed in 2014, the Lake Cabin by Prague-based FAM Architekti is a 43-square-meter minimalist retreat situated on the sandy banks of Lake Mácha in the Czech Republic. Designed to replace a dilapidated 1970s cabin, the project was intended as a year-round getaway for a yachting enthusiast, creating a space that visually connects with the surrounding lake and dense pine forest. Its simple, wedge-shaped volume and slatted timber facade draw inspiration from sailing, giving the cabin a sculptural quality. The cabin was constructed using prefabricated techniques to minimize its environmental impact and reduce building time. The entire timber framework and larch cladding were prepared off-site and then assembled on the lakefront in just a week and a half. The structure is also raised slightly off the ground on steel screws, ensuring minimal disturbance to the landscape. When the cabin is not in use, folding and fixed shutters, clad in the same larch as the rest of the exterior, protect the large glazed openings, creating a continuous and secure facade. The interior is designed as one continuous space with a high, open ceiling, reminiscent of a cave or a boat's cabin. The main entrance is a large sliding window, which, along with the other glass elements, emphasizes the connection to nature. The tall end of the cabin features a compact black box containing a minimal kitchen, toilet, and shower. Above this is a sleeping gallery, accessible via a ladder. A full-length, deep cupboard wall offers ample storage and a built-in fireplace. The walls are lined with jangled timber cladding finished with a white oil, enhancing the cave-like, natural aesthetic. The sand-colored cement screed floor complements the sandy beach outside.

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

- Huset i Landskabet | Claus Pryds Architects | ZHIG
RESIDENTIAL | Summer House | The Huset i Landskabet (House in the Landscape), designed by Danish firm Claus Pryds Architects, is a gabled vacation home located on a southeast-facing slope overlooking the Hesselø Bay in Denmark. Completed in 2019, the house is celebrated for its sensitive integration into the hilly, coastal landscape, reflecting the firm's philosophy of creating "caring architecture" that forms a connection between place, material, and history. The house is designed as a contemporary interpretation of a traditional gabled home, but its form is meticulously adapted to its specific location. The building is positioned close to a steep northern slope, with large windows strategically placed to frame views over the surrounding landscape and bay, making the setting an integral part of the living experience. The interior is arranged as a split-level space, following the natural topography of the land. This creates distinct living zones while maintaining a fluid, open atmosphere and a continuous visual connection with the outdoors. The home features a complex, silvery gabled roofline that is both dramatic and subtle. A central, double-height living area gives way to smaller, more private spaces, with a large, elevated deck that extends the living space outdoors. The design relies on a restrained palette of materials chosen for their durability, elegance, and ability to harmonize with the natural environment. The facade is clad in silvery wood, giving the house a clean, weathered aesthetic that allows it to blend into the coastal landscape. The interior features wood throughout, including CLT (cross-laminated timber) walls and plywood finishes, which give the space a warm, natural, and minimalist feel. The interior design emphasizes clean lines and functional simplicity, ensuring that the focus remains on the expansive views and the surrounding nature.

- Culardoch Shieling | Moxon Architects | ZHIG
RESIDENTIAL | Hut | Tucked away in a remote and rugged part of the Cairngorms National Park in the Scottish Highlands, the Culardoch Shieling is a small mountain hut designed by London and Aberdeenshire-based firm Moxon Architects. The 47-square-meter hut is a contemporary reinterpretation of traditional Scottish farming crofts, shepherd's shelters, and Swiss Alpine shacks. It was commissioned by art dealers Iwan and Manuela Wirth, who sought a private, remote space on their estate for entertaining guests. The design is a clever blend of regional vernacular architecture and 20th-century modernism. Its monolithic, wooden form draws inspiration from the simple aesthetic of local livestock buildings, while its irregular, strategically placed windows are reminiscent of Le Corbusier's iconic Chapelle Notre Dame du Haut at Ronchamp. These irregularly cut apertures precisely frame specific features of the surrounding landscape, including the granite tors of Ben Avon and a bend in the River Gairn. Constructed almost entirely from timber, the shieling (Gaelic for "hut") was designed to minimize its impact on the terrain. The structure features a simple cruck frame with deep, overhanging eaves. The roof is camouflaged with a layer of heather, moss, and stone gathered from the local hillsides, helping it blend into the moorland and providing additional insulation. The cozy interior is lined with spruce and features a long, communal dining table, a prominent wood-burning stove for heating, and subtle modern details like a suspended iron shelf for candles. The project was completed in 2016 and received several awards, including the Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland Forestry Commission for Scotland Award in 2017.

Constructed almost entirely from timber, the shieling (Gaelic for ""hut"") was designed to minimize its impact on the terrain. The structure features a simple cruck frame with deep, overhanging eaves. The roof is camouflaged with a layer of heather, moss, and stone gathered from the local hillsides, helping it blend into the moorland and providing additional insulation. The cozy interior is lined with spruce and features a long, communal dining table, a prominent wood-burning stove for heating, and subtle modern details like a suspended iron shelf for candles. The project was completed in 2016 and received several awards, including the Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland Forestry Commission for Scotland Award in 2017.

The 47-square-meter hut is a contemporary reinterpretation of traditional Scottish farming crofts, shepherd's shelters, and Swiss Alpine shacks. It was commissioned by art dealers Iwan and Manuela Wirth, who sought a private, remote space on their estate for entertaining guests. The design is a clever blend of regional vernacular architecture and 20th-century modernism.

- HIP Boathouse | Abbott Brown Architects (Jane Abbott, Kim Chayer) | ZHIG
SMALL-SCALE | Boathouse | The HIP Boathouse, designed by Abbott Brown Architects, is a 520-square-foot wooden structure located in Herman's Island, Nova Scotia, Canada. Completed in 2021, the project is elevated on stilts above the high-water line, with a viewing porch that cantilevers over the beach. In 2022, it was recognized with the Nova Scotia Lieutenant Governor's Medal of Excellence, the highest architectural honor in the province. The boathouse is divided into two distinct areas: a closed boat storage space and an open-air screened viewing porch facing the water. The viewing porch is constructed with durable solid hemlock timber and beams to withstand the saline environment and ocean storms, featuring exposed steel cross bracing and tie rods. The interior boat storage area, protected from the elements, utilizes 2x6 wood stud construction with plywood veneer cladding and sanded hemlock flooring. The exterior materials, such as untreated eastern cedar shingles, spruce framing, and local rough-sawn hemlock, were chosen to complement the natural surroundings.

- Somers Boat Shed | Wellard Architects | ZHIG
RESIDENTIAL | Extension | Located in Somers, on the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, Australia, the Somers Boat Shed is a reimagined 1950s structure designed by Wellard Architects as a treasured extension of the adjacent Somers Beach House. The original asbestos-clad boat shed was dilapidated, so the architects carefully replaced and remodeled it, preserving the original footprint and floor levels while incorporating modern amenities. The project is a key feature of the larger Somers Beach House, which was designed to accommodate an intergenerational family. The boat shed serves as a retreat-like space with a strong connection to the surrounding beachfront. Its design mirrors that of the main house, but on a miniature scale. It is defined by a material palette that includes Blackbutt timber, concrete, and stone. The interior and exterior spaces are designed to invite the surrounding environment inward, offering occupants a place to relax while looking out over the ocean. The path from the house leads directly to the boat shed and beach, creating a seamless connection between the different parts of the property.

- House MM | a2o2 arhitekti | ZHIG
RESIDENTIAL | Renovation | House MM is a renovation project completed in 2020 by the Slovenian firm a2o2 arhitekti in Domžale, Slovenia. The project involved renovating a derelict early 20th-century house to retain its historic character while adapting it for modern living. The architects and owners aimed to present a financially viable and sustainable alternative to new construction, preserving a piece of the neighborhood's "anonymous built heritage". Design and architectural features Balancing old and new: The exterior of the original brick house, including the facades and window openings, was preserved. A new metal roof was installed to replace the original one, which was beyond repair. New, modern interventions were deliberately designed to be distinct from the old structure, creating a dialogue between the past and present. Open and layered interior: The interior was cleared of redundant layers to expose the original structure. A new wooden-clad service core was inserted inside, keeping it separate from the old walls. Vertical spatial sequence: The home is arranged vertically, featuring a kitchen and dining area at ground level. A double-height living space with a fireplace and a large window opens onto the garden, while a new mezzanine bedroom is situated above the kitchen. Materiality: The new additions are clad in timber, contrasting with the old masonry. The ground floor is finished with terrazzo, achieved by polishing the concrete flooring. The owners were actively involved in the renovation. With the help of a restoration specialist, they restored the original windows and helped with the interior paneling and terrazzo flooring.
