  • The Grand Canal Square Theatre and Commercial Development | Daniel Libeskind Studio | ZHIG

    CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURE | Theatre and Commercial Center | Located on the Dublin waterfront, the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre, formerly the Grand Canal Theatre, is a 2,000-seat theater at the heart of a multi-use complex conceived for by the City of Dublin as part of a plan to revitalize its docklands. Studio Daniel Libeskind completed the theatre in 2010 and an office complex called the Grand Canal Harbour development a year later. The theater overlooks a public plaza designed by Martha Schwartz Associates. Like a grand outdoor lobby, the plaza invites the public to view the soaring glass façade of the theater much like a glass curtain, which tilts back in space in diagonal pleats. The public can gaze into its Piranesian interior of horizontal ramps and diagonal pilotes. The design concept for the theater is, in fact, stages—the theater’s ‘real’ stage and the plaza as another, equally real but more provisional and changing stage. By night, when the second floor lobby of the theater is activated by users, and the theater’s tilting façade and plaza are illuminated, the entire complex transforms into a multi-experiential stage. The Bord Gáis Energy Theatre is flanked on the street side by two office buildings designed by Libeskind. The two office blocks comprising the commercial development provide sustainable and sophisticated work environments. The development and cultural spaces created a strong presence that is now the address for several international corporate headquarters such as Facebook, Twitter and Google. The redevelopment helped to keep this neighborhood thriving during an economic downturn by creating a desirable area in which to work, live and play. The project was completed in 2010. | https://static.wixstatic.com/media/9756fd_03a5bacdf3c64b49b9f88dbcd1c8b533~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_2280,h_1235,al_c,q_90/The%20Grand%20Canal%20Square%20Theatre%20and%20Commercial%20Development.jpg Please Wait The Grand Canal Square Theatre and Commercial Development1.jpg The Grand Canal Square Theatre and Commercial Development4.jpg The Grand Canal Square Theatre and Commercial Development6.jpg 1/3 0 Product 2.5K Views 0 0 Pin Pin Private Public x Appreciators Appreciated Appreciate Please Log in The Grand Canal Square Theatre and Commercial Development Grand Canal Square, Docklands, Dublin 2, Ireland.

  • MINIMOD Catuçaba | MAPA | ZHIG

    RESIDENTIAL | Prefabricated | The MINIMOD Catuçaba is a pair of prefabricated wooden cabins, designed by the Brazilian architecture firm MAPA and completed in 2015. Developed as part of MAPA's portable housing series, the MINIMODs were installed on a sprawling property in Catuçaba, near São Paulo, Brazil. The project serves as a contemporary reinterpretation of the primitive retreat, offering an immersive connection to the natural landscape. The cabins were constructed in a factory in an industrial town, transported over 150 km in separate modules, and then assembled on-site using crane trucks. This process highlights the efficiency and environmental responsibility of prefabricated construction. Each module is a 3x3x3 meter cube, built with cross-laminated timber (CLT) technology, a system that was unique in Brazil at the time. The two cabins were installed approximately 1,000 meters apart in different landscapes on the property, each adapting its spatial configuration to its specific location. The first MINIMOD, situated on a hilltop, adopts a cruciform layout, with each space oriented towards a different cardinal direction. This arrangement offers occupants a panoramic experience of the surrounding nature, from dawn to dusk. The second MINIMOD is placed discreetly near a small pond, turning its back to the access road. This linear configuration, parallel to the hill slope, integrates with the landscape and opens onto an expansive deck. Both cabins feature large windows that blur the line between interior and exterior, framing captivating views of the forests, lake, and mountains. The design prioritizes a minimalist aesthetic, with a compact and efficient layout. The simple yet elegant cabins act as "plug-and-play" devices, ready to connect with and be used in any remote setting.

  • Outside line | Daniel Libeskind Studio | ZHIG

    RESIDENTIAL | Housing | Outside Line, an installation situated in the Sports Park near the city of Uozu, Japan, was proposed as a place to contemplate the relationship between man and nature. The project was inspired by the search for a contemporary understanding of space and light, and its design was informed by a precisely determined web of conceptual, topographical relationships between objects and space, eye and mind. A red line orients itself upon an imaginary axis connecting the descending history of the Buried Forest Museum and the ascending horizon of the Tateyama mountain range.  This line creates special, ever-changing qualities of light and shadow and appears different during different seasons.  In winter, snow collects softly within its angles, and when it rains, water flows along its length toward the visitors’ path of ascension. This physical “connecting line” between thought and vision also highlights the beauty and mystery of the city of Uozu. | https://static.wixstatic.com/media/9756fd_e232773a4a0947c3854b56928dc4eed4~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1350,h_887,al_c,q_85/OUTSIDE%20LINE4.jpg Please Wait OUTSIDE LINE.jpg OUTSIDE LINE1.jpg OUTSIDE LINE3.jpg 1/2 0 Product 2.5K Views 0 0 Pin Pin Private Public x Appreciators Appreciated Appreciate Please Log in Outside line Uozu, Toyama, Japan Architects: Daniel Libeskind Studio Daniel Libeskind Studio Architecture Office United States Area: Year: City: Client: - 1997 Uozu Construction: - Category: RESIDENTIAL Project Type: Housing Post Type: Building Country: Japan Photographers: the architects Description: Outside Line, an installation situated in the Sports Park near the city of Uozu, Japan, was proposed as a place to contemplate the relationship between man and nature.

  • The Voxel Quarantine Cabin | Valldaura Labs | ZHIG

    EXPERIMENTAL | Cabin | The Voxel Quarantine Cabin, located in Collserola natural park near Barcelona, Spain, is a 12-square-meter off-grid prototype designed and built in 2020 by students and researchers from IAAC's MAEBB program. The Voxel is a self-sufficient cabin for one person to quarantine for 14 days. It embodies a "circular metabolism" by using locally sourced and processed natural materials with industrialized techniques to promote sustainable green building. All timber for the project came from Aleppo Pine trees harvested locally according to a sustainable forestry plan. This timber was milled, dried, processed, and pressed on-site into cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels for the structure. The 3.6 x 3.6-meter cube is assembled using metal-free lap joints and wooden dowels instead of metal fixings. The interior features exposed CLT, with the same wood used for custom furniture like a platform bed and desk. The exterior is insulated with cork and covered with a unique rainscreen made from offcuts of the CLT production. These charred wood slats, treated with the shou sugi ban technique for weatherproofing, are arranged in a gradient, highlighting the natural shape of the tree. Some sections of the façade are extended to house utilities like water tanks and an outdoor shower. The cabin is self-sufficient with a water-energy-waste system that includes solar panels and battery storage, rainwater harvesting and greywater recycling, and a biogas system for blackwater treatment to produce fuel and fertilizer. The roof also incorporates computer-designed garden boxes for local plants that help filter rainwater. photography by José Hevia. | https://static.wixstatic.com/media/a0ba0f_9880843e1a8d486188e3894254944ada~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_818,h_787,al_c,q_85/411.The%20Voxel%20Quarantine%20Cabin%20by%20Valldaura%20Labs-Jos%C3%A9%20Hevia%20(3).jpg Please Wait 411.The Voxel Quarantine Cabin by Valldaura Labs-José Hevia (1).jpg "The Voxel Quarantine Cabin, located in Collserola natural park near Barcelona, Spain, is a 12-square-meter off-grid prototype designed and built in 2020 by students and researchers from IAAC's MAEBB program.

  • Decatur Island Bunkhouse | Miller Hull Partnership | ZHIG

    RESIDENTIAL | Bunkhouse | Designed by the Miller Hull Partnership, the 400-square-foot Decatur Island Bunkhouse is a minimalist retreat that sits lightly on a sloping, remote site in Washington State's Salish Sea. The project was completed in 2019 next to a cabin originally designed by Miller Hull's late founding partner, Robert Hull, in 1986. Guided by the principles of leaving a minimal footprint, the design elevates the compact volume on six point-load foundations, preserving the natural landscape and allowing its sloping topography to be appreciated. The small size of the bunkhouse was a pragmatic decision driven by the difficulty of building on the remote site. The location is only accessible via a narrow, 500-foot trail through the woods, meaning all materials had to be carried to the site by hand. The team embraced these constraints, allowing them to shape a simple but potent structure. Its timber exoskeleton references the architecture of the neighboring cabin, supporting a simple "sleeve" of interior space arranged to maximize views and privacy. The bunkhouse is a sustainable example of design, with its low carbon footprint being a primary consideration. The extensive use of sustainably harvested and FSC-certified timber, including some from neighboring Blakely Island, helped offset the embodied carbon from other materials like concrete and steel. The passive design includes roof overhangs that control solar heat gain, while operable clerestory windows enable natural ventilation during the summer. A small photovoltaic array also helps offset the cabin's energy needs.

  • Biv Punakaiki Cabin | Fabric | ZHIG

    ACCOMMODATION | Cabin | Biv Punakaiki is a 46-square-meter cabin designed by Fabric and completed in 2022, nestled within a rainforest in the coastal village of Punakaiki on New Zealand's South Island. Inspired by the historic gold miners' huts that once dotted the coastline, the cabin reinterprets this traditional aesthetic for high-end, short-term accommodation. Its form is characterized by a distinctive, off-center roofline that tapers upwards, echoing the shape of an old chimney stack. This design element creates a dramatic double-height ceiling in the living area, illuminated by a large skylight at the top, which funnels light down and connects guests to the sky above. The cabin was constructed using prefabricated, cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels, a choice driven by the material's low embodied carbon, which helps to offset the carbon footprint of the concrete floor and aluminum cladding. The exterior is wrapped in corrosion-resistant aluminum, a necessary feature for protection against the airborne salt of the coastal environment. Inside, the warm timber of the CLT is exposed, complemented by a polished concrete floor that provides thermal mass to help regulate the internal temperature. The architects incorporated passive heating strategies and high insulation to maintain a comfortable environment year-round, minimizing running costs and ensuring guests are always greeted by a cozy space. Intended to have a minimal impact on the land, Biv Punakaiki is elevated on a few concrete piles, allowing the structure to "touch the earth lightly". The design prioritizes a seamless connection with nature, featuring large windows and glazing that frame views of the surrounding native bush and nearby cliffs. The open-plan layout and minimal facilities encourage a focus on simple living, while luxurious details create a uniquely comfortable and relaxing experience. Biv Punakaiki was the first of a planned series of accommodation pods, each designed to provide travelers with an intimate and engaging experience of the New Zealand landscape.

  • Heavenly Highlands | Casalvolone Arquitectura | ZHIG

    RESIDENTIAL | House | The Heavenly Highlands, a 150-square-meter family residence completed in 2021, is a masterful work by Costa Rican firm Casalvolone Arquitectura. Nestled in the lush hills near San Jose de Mayo, the project embodies a serene fusion of modern architecture and traditional building techniques, creating a shaded retreat that harmonizes with its vibrant natural setting. The design of Heavenly Highlands emphasizes a profound connection with nature. More than 300 trees were planted on the property as part of the project, allowing the residence to blend seamlessly into the dense surrounding vegetation. The architecture is a study in contrasts, where the elegant black exterior, chosen to integrate with the forest, meets the warm, welcoming interior. Expansive panoramic windows offer inhabitants unobstructed views of the jungle, establishing a peaceful refuge from daily life. The black exterior serves as a cool, shaded skin for the building, contrasting with the warmth of the interior. The architects chose a signature use of exposed concrete, balancing its modern aesthetic with the organic, warm wood that dominates the indoor spaces. The incorporation of vegetable gardens, fruit trees, and farm animals contributes to the property's self-sufficiency and deepens its connection to the natural world. A carefully chosen palette of materials reflects both modern design sensibilities and a respect for regional heritage and local talent. The interior is defined by warm wooden decor sourced from the forests of the Osa Peninsula, a material prized for its strength and durability. This creates a cozy, relaxing atmosphere throughout the home. Floors are crafted with intricate mosaics and terrazo tiles, adding an artistic flourish that celebrates the rich cultural traditions of the region. Furniture for the kitchen, bathrooms, and other areas was created by local artisans, showcasing local talent and craftsmanship.

  • Karangahake House | MAKE Architects NZ LTD | ZHIG

    RESIDENTIAL | Prefabricated | The Karangahake House, designed by MAKE Architects NZ LTD, is a 100-square-meter prefabricated family home in the North Island of New Zealand, completed in 2019. The house is situated on a hilltop overlooking the Karangahake forests, the Kaimai Ranges, and the Waitawheta River valley. The design draws inspiration from traditional New Zealand tramping huts and focuses on sustainable, simple living and a connection with nature. The elongated, barn-like structure with a gable roof is designed to blend into the rural landscape. The home was built using efficient construction methods, with prefabricated floors, walls, and roofs assembled on-site in just four days. Its compact design includes a double-height living and kitchen area, a mezzanine level above two bedrooms and a bathroom, and a separate guest bedroom/office wing. An "Outdoor Room," connects the main house to the guest wing and provides a flexible, sheltered space, with a section of polycarbonate roof filtering light and creating a lantern effect at night. The exterior is clad in locally sourced timber, which will age to a natural gray over time, while the interior features warm cross-laminated timber floors and plywood walls and ceilings. The Karangahake House incorporates carefully selected materials and finishes, weathertight linings, and efficient ventilation systems to promote sustainability and minimize environmental impact.

  • Forest Retreat | Scalar Architecture | ZHIG

    RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | The Forest Retreat is a minimalist, 1,200-square-foot cabin located in a sloped, forest clearing in Litchfield, Connecticut, and designed by New York-based Scalar Architecture for a family of writers and producers. The project was conceived as a sustainable and thoughtful retreat, with a compact, efficient design that minimizes its ecological footprint and impact on the rocky terrain. The cabin is situated in a remote area, only accessible by foot or light utility vehicle, enhancing its feeling of seclusion. The design is a compact, dark green box that hovers lightly above the ground on concrete piers, an approach that reduces site disturbance. Large, strategically placed openings carve into the facade, allowing for an immersive connection with nature and framing specific views of the forest. A notable architectural feature is the concave roof plane, or impluvium, which serves multiple functions: it collects rainwater, channels light and ventilation into the house, and focuses attention on the surrounding terrain. This central courtyard space creates a protected clearing within the forest clearing, enhancing the tranquil atmosphere. The interior of the Forest Retreat is defined by a tiered, open-plan layout that accommodates the sloping site. Light-colored wood accentuates the different levels, which include a sunken living room, a dining area, a kitchen, two bedrooms, and a loft. A key detail is the seamless integration of a large boulder, which was left in place and is partially exposed within the impluvium, strengthening the relationship between the interior and the forest. A porch is located on the highest part of the slope, while a semi-covered walkway leads to a lower entry point. Throughout the house, the simple material palette and large windows work together to create a space that is both peaceful and comfortable. The heavily insulated, wood-framed structure is designed to be energy-efficient and was crafted from engineered and nominal wood.

  • Lightbox | Bohlin Cywinski Jackson | ZHIG

    RESIDENTIAL | House | The Lightbox is a 1,650-square-foot home and studio designed by Seattle-based architecture firm Bohlin Cywinski Jackson. Completed in 2015, the residence is nestled in a dense, coastal woodland on a peninsula south of British Columbia in Washington state. Designed for a photographer and his young family, the home is a celebration of light, shadows, and its tranquil forest setting. The house was created with a special appreciation for simplicity and well-crafted details, reflecting the photographer-owner's eye for light and composition. The core of the design is the juxtaposition of two contrasting volumes that are "zipped" together. A "glass cage" for living: A two-story, south-facing volume, enclosed in glass, serves as the main living space. This transparent section allows sunlight to filter through the trees, constantly changing throughout the day. A solid "black box" for privacy: The northern volume is a solid box, stained black with a traditional Finnish pine tar coating. This volume contains the stairs and other private areas, with narrow apertures that frame specific views of the old-growth Douglas firs and cedars. The house sits lightly on the land, accessed by a sloped boardwalk that crosses over the forest floor. The building's skin uses simple, affordable materials in a straightforward yet innovative way. An exposed wood structural frame supports a prefabricated, uniformly-sized aluminum window system to keep costs low. The interior further reinforces the connection to nature and the simple, robust design philosophy. Mezzanine level: Above the double-height living room, a mezzanine offers additional space while maintaining an open feel. The floors are polished concrete on the lower level and exposed wood car decking upstairs. Shelving is crafted from resawn timbers, and the interior uses wood slats to screen areas, a detail inspired by Japanese design. Hydronic radiant heat and antique cast-iron radiators efficiently keep the space warm, supplemented by a centrally located fireplace.

  • KURDISTAN MUSEUM | Daniel Libeskind Studio | ZHIG

    CULTURAL | Museum | The site of the new Kurdistan Museum will be the first major institution to dedicate itself to the preservation and education of the Kurds’ national heritage to the region and the world. In collaboration with the Kurdistan Regional Government and client representative RWF World, the team has embarked on a visionary project to share the story of the Kurdish people with the world and inspire an open dialogue for the future generations within Kurdistan. Situated at the base of the ancient Citadel, in the center of Erbil, Iraq, the 150,000 square-foot museum will feature exhibition spaces for both permanent and temporary exhibitions, a lecture theatre, state-of-the-art multimedia educational resources, an extensive digital archive of Kurdish historical assets, as well as community center and landscaped outdoor spaces for public use. The form of the museum is created by four interlocking geometric volumes that represent the Kurdish regions: Turkey, Syria, Iran, and Iraq. The volumes are intersected by a line that is broken into two angular fragments, representing the past and future of Kurdistan. The two fragments create an emotive duality: a heavy and opaque mass, the Anfal Line, which symbolizes the genocide under Saddam Hussein; and the Liberty Line, a lattice structure filled with greenery that ascends towards the sky and culminates with an eternal flame – a powerful symbol in Kurdish culture. At the junction between the Anfal and Liberty Lines is an open-air courtyard conceived as a tranquil and meditative space at the heart of the museum. The courtyard references those found in the Citadel and throughout the ancient, urban neighborhoods of Erbil. There is a water feature that extends from the landscape through the museum, bringing to mind the rivers and fertile valleys of Kurdistan. The landscape offers performance spaces, café seating, and picnic grounds where people can gather. The Kurdistan Museum is a place that will embed the story of the group into the architecture. It is an immersive experience about memory and identity and will stand as a tangible artifice of the Kurdish identity. | https://static.wixstatic.com/media/9756fd_c32594c3154f45e3a871a51616f00b4c~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_2280,h_1268,al_c,q_90/KURDISTAN%20MUSEUM2.jpg Please Wait KURDISTAN MUSEUM3.jpg KURDISTAN MUSEUM.jpg KURDISTAN MUSEUM2.jpg 1/2 0 Product 2.7K Views 0 0 Pin Pin Private Public x Appreciators Appreciated Appreciate Please Log in KURDISTAN MUSEUM Citadel of Erbil, Erbil, Iraq Architects: Daniel Libeskind Studio Daniel Libeskind Studio Architecture Office United States Area: Year: City: Client: 150,000 sq. ft. 2009 Erbil Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) RWF World Construction: - Category: CULTURAL Project Type: Museum Post Type: Building Country: Iraq Photographers: the architects Description: The site of the new Kurdistan Museum will be the first major institution to dedicate itself to the preservation and education of the Kurds’ national heritage to the region and the world.

  • Straw Flea House | Juri Troy Architects | ZHIG

    RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | Designed by Juri Troy Architects in 2022, the Straw Flea is a compact, 46-square-meter residential building located in the historic village of Murstetten, Austria. Situated within a castle park, the weekend house was built with a holistic and sustainable approach, utilizing local, natural materials and techniques to create a building with a minimal environmental footprint. The house's design balances modern sensibilities with respect for the site's rich history, sitting freely among the historical ruins and framing views of the landscape. The angular timber frame structure was constructed with wood from the client's own nearby forest, and the insulation is made from straw sourced from a local regional farm. The building is elevated off the ground by 15 screw foundations, a technique that minimizes ground disturbance. To align with the sustainable concept, the house generates its own heat and energy through a photovoltaic (PV) system installed on the roof. The interior of the single-bedroom home is entirely clad in pale wood, creating a warm, natural aesthetic. The living area, located in the southern and lower portion of the house, features large, fully openable glazing that connects the room to the garden and a small stream. The northern entrance leads to a small sanitary unit and a sleeping gallery. One of the most striking features is the floor-to-ceiling shelving that runs along the long sides of the interior, both exposing the timber structure and providing storage and seating. The Straw Flea project was completed in collaboration with Caravan Atelier. The house was recognized with several awards, including the Niederösterreichischer Holzbaupreis (Lower Austria Timber Construction Prize), the BIGSEE Wood Design Award, and the Design Educates Awards.
