  • Villa Løken | Oslotre | ZHIG

    RESIDENTIAL | House | Nestled on the car-free island of Brønnøya in the Oslofjord, Villa Løken by Oslotre is a modern, maritime-inspired residence built for a professional sailor and his family. The project is a testament to sustainable timber architecture, showcasing how a high degree of prefabrication and manual labor can be used to construct a compact, yet bright and generous home under difficult logistical conditions. The design is a celebration of wood, reflecting both the surrounding nature and the owner's connection to wooden boats. The exterior is clad in reclaimed Brazilian cumaru wood from a 1950s Danish boat workshop, giving the villa a rich, recycled history. Inside, the home features a light and warm aesthetic with untreated aspen and oak panels, while the structural timber frame is left visible throughout. The house was built as a pure timber construction, utilizing precut timber elements and wood fiber insulation to minimize its environmental impact. The design is open in all directions, with large windows bringing in light, views, and a sense of connection to the surrounding nature and the water. This approach maximizes the perception of space despite the home's compact footprint.

  • SH House | Paulo Martins ARQ&DESIGN | ZHIG

    RESIDENTIAL | Tiny Home | Designed by Paulo Martins ARQ&DESIGN, the SH House is a compact, two-story weekend retreat located in Sever do Vouga, Portugal. Completed in 2016, the project involved the renovation of an existing stone house, which was originally built in a pastoral countryside setting. The architect's key intervention was the integration of contemporary minimalist design elements while preserving the structure's historical stone walls. The house has a total floor area of 45 square meters. On the ground floor, the social areas—a small kitchen, dining area, and living space—enjoy a direct connection with the surrounding outdoor areas. A weathering steel (corten) staircase, which also incorporates storage, divides the two floors and adds a striking modern contrast to the old stone walls. The upstairs contains a bedroom and bathroom, offering privacy and scenic views of the landscape. Throughout the interior, a minimalist aesthetic and light colors are used to create a sense of spaciousness and openness, maximizing the perception of the compact volume.

  • Hofer Pavilion | Stal Collectief | ZHIG

    MULTI-FUNCTIONAL | Shelter | The Hofer Pavilion is an experimental, 28-square-meter studio designed and self-built by Stal Collectief, a Belgian furniture design company. Completed in 2016, the pavilion is situated near the collective's existing workshop in Heppeneert, a hamlet in northeast Belgium, and was created as a retreat for brainstorming sessions and design discussions. Mimicking the traditional, archetypical shape of a rural gabled home, it blends into its surroundings. A key feature of the pavilion is its adaptability to different weather conditions and uses. The structure is elevated on ten pillars and features a unique rail system that allows three of its four walls and the roof to be moved. This design makes it possible to open the studio to the elements during warmer seasons, transforming the interior into an open-air living space, and enclose it during winter for a more intimate setting. The exterior is clad in charred timber using the traditional Japanese shou sugi ban technique, giving it a dark, rustic appearance that references the local vernacular. The fixed gable wall and floor, in contrast, are finished with sheet metal. The interior is minimally furnished with a long table, stools, lighting, and a wood-burning stove built into the fixed wall.

  • Maison Silex (Flint Shelter) | TAM Architecte | ZHIG

    RESIDENTIAL | Tiny Home | Completed in 2019, Maison Silex (Flint Shelter) is a tiny, 45-square-meter cabin designed by Maud Thoumyre of TAM Architecte. Situated in the village of Veules-les-Roses along France's Alabaster Coast, the cabin draws inspiration from the area's history and landscape, which is defined by flint, brick, and sandstone. The cabin's design is a protective response to the coastal climate, acting as a shelter from the harsh wind, rain, and sea spray. The house is intentionally reminiscent of the area's historic flint-and-brick homes. The small structure is built into a grassy cliffside slope overlooking the sea. Its design emphasizes the dichotomy between being open to the sun and sea during the day and closed off for intimacy and security in the evening. The exterior features load-bearing flint walls, referencing the material common in the region, while the interior is finished with slate flooring. A wood-burning fireplace provides warmth and a cozy atmosphere against the coastal storms. The cabin's windows provide views of the sea, which, along with the sky, are a constant part of the cabin's experience.

  • Tigín Tiny Home | Common Knowledge | ZHIG

    RESIDENTIAL | Tiny House | The Tigín Tiny Home is an initiative launched in 2022 by Common Knowledge, an Irish non-profit social enterprise, to address Ireland's housing crisis. Designed as an oversized, transportable caravan, the Tigín—the Gaelic word for 'small cottage'—is an affordable, sustainable, and consciously designed housing alternative. Beyond simply selling the tiny homes, Common Knowledge's project empowers people by sharing the necessary construction skills through their educational programs. The Tigín Tiny Home is a compact yet airy micro-dwelling of 20 square meters with a smart, two-level layout. High ceilings and large, double-glazed windows create a sense of space and connectivity with nature. Kitchenette: Includes an oven, gas hobs, and a sink, with Iroko hardwood worktops. Seating/Sleeping Area: A window seat converts into a double bed for guests. Bathroom: A shower and a composting toilet enhance the home's self-sufficiency. Storage: Cleverly integrated shelves and cabinets provide ample storage. A ladder provides access to a cozy loft space large enough for a king-sized bed. Sustainable and locally-sourced materials The Tigín's construction focuses on minimizing its carbon footprint through the use of natural and locally-sourced materials. Corrugated hemp panels from Margent Farm provide a lightweight, biodegradable, and sustainable alternative to traditional cladding. The walls are insulated with breathable cork, which naturally regulates temperature and humidity. The floor is finished with natural rubber linoleum tiles. A timber frame provides the structural support. The tiny home is constructed on a custom-built, triple-axle trailer, making it mobile and highly adaptable. Its design prioritizes energy efficiency, with some reports suggesting it uses up to 30 percent less energy than a standard UK home, thanks to strategic glazing and thermal performance. Involved people and organizations Developer and Designer: Common Knowledge (Ireland). Co-Founders: Harrison Gardner, Fionn Kidney, Erin McClure, and Spider Hickman. Lead Designer: Shantanu Starick. Materials Partner (Hemp Cladding): Margent Farm (Cambridgeshire, UK), which pioneered the use of hemp in sustainable construction. Collaborators and Build Team: Nico Bigatti, Jordan Allen, Cillian O'Gaora, Ian Tobin, and Enda Grogan, along with numerous students from the Build School program.

Designed as an oversized, transportable caravan, the Tigín—the Gaelic word for 'small cottage'—is an affordable, sustainable, and consciously designed housing alternative. Beyond simply selling the tiny homes, Common Knowledge's project empowers people by sharing the necessary construction skills through their educational programs. The Tigín Tiny Home is a compact yet airy micro-dwelling of 20 square meters with a smart, two-level layout. High ceilings and large, double-glazed windows create a sense of space and connectivity with nature. Kitchenette: Includes an oven, gas hobs, and a sink, with Iroko hardwood worktops. Seating/Sleeping Area: A window seat converts into a double bed for guests. Bathroom: A shower and a composting toilet enhance the home's self-sufficiency. Storage: Cleverly integrated shelves and cabinets provide ample storage. A ladder provides access to a cozy loft space large enough for a king-sized bed. Sustainable and locally-sourced materials The Tigín's construction focuses on minimizing its carbon footprint through the use of natural and locally-sourced materials. Corrugated hemp panels from Margent Farm provide a lightweight, biodegradable, and sustainable alternative to traditional cladding. The walls are insulated with breathable cork, which naturally regulates temperature and humidity. The floor is finished with natural rubber linoleum tiles. A timber frame provides the structural support. The tiny home is constructed on a custom-built, triple-axle trailer, making it mobile and highly adaptable. Its design prioritizes energy efficiency, with some reports suggesting it uses up to 30 percent less energy than a standard UK home, thanks to strategic glazing and thermal performance.

  • Hermitage in the Archipelago | 2bk arkitekter | ZHIG

    RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | EREMITAGE is a private cabin for meditation and exercise designed by the Swedish architectural firm 2bk arkitekter. Located in the Stockholm archipelago, this small building is a tranquil retreat set among rocky outcrops and blueberry bushes, right next to the sea. The project is a masterful combination of Nordic simplicity with intricate Japanese carpentry, resulting in a serene, nature-focused space for quiet contemplation. The architects' design for EREMITAGE was guided by the site's natural conditions, specifically the movement of light, the view toward the water, and an appreciation for Japanese carpentry. From a distance, the structure appears as a simple wooden cabin, blending into the surrounding landscape. Upon closer approach, however, its refined details become visible, revealing its identity as a finely crafted retreat resembling a Japanese teahouse. Exterior and materials The building's exterior is a blend of simple and sophisticated elements. The facade is clad in brown distemper-painted wood panels, a choice that helps the structure recede into the Nordic landscape. This contrasts with the delicate, sliding facade screens that reveal the interior, allowing the occupants to adjust the level of privacy and connection to the outdoors. The single row of slate stepping stones leading to the entrance further underscores the Japanese-inspired minimalist aesthetic. Interior and spatial experience The interior of EREMITAGE is designed to maximize a sense of tranquility and connection to nature. Japanese influence: The space incorporates traditional Japanese elements, such as tatami mats on the floor, and uses carefully crafted wooden elements. Minimalist palette: The materials used are predominantly wood, including untreated Douglas pine veneer for the walls and ceiling and thermo-treated ash for the floors. Dynamic light and shadow: The sliding facade screens create a shifting play of light and shadow within the interior, marking the passage of the day and enhancing the building's connection to its natural surroundings. The EREMITAGE project by 2bk arkitekter is a perfect example of a structure that respects and responds to its natural environment. By merging simple, traditional Nordic building techniques with the refined craftsmanship of Japanese carpentry, the cabin becomes a beautiful piece of architectural furniture. It offers a space for mindful exercise and meditation, allowing its inhabitants to feel sheltered while remaining fully immersed in the natural beauty of the Swedish archipelago.

  • Sommerhaus Piu | Patrick Frey, Björn Götte | ZHIG

    RESIDENTIAL | Prefabricated | German industrial designer Patrick Frey and architect Björn Götte collaborated on the Sommerhaus Piu, a prefabricated wooden holiday home completed in 2011. Inspired by Scandinavian summerhouse culture, the design is a modern take on the traditional wilderness retreat, intended to be a versatile space for young families, independent study, or a serene home for retirees. The name Piu, meaning "more" in Italian, reflects the home's ability to offer a rich experience in a compact form. The prefab structure is delivered to the site and can be assembled in a single day. The exterior is defined by elegant, horizontally-placed strips of wood, complemented by charcoal-colored edging on the slightly pitched shed roof, and a covered veranda that wraps around the house. A version of the design, measuring 65 square meters, features two bedrooms, with larger and smaller models also available. To maximize interaction with the outdoors, the living and dining areas feature large, full-height sliding glass doors that open to a deck, blurring the boundary between the interior and the surrounding landscape. Conversely, the bedroom areas are protected from direct sunlight with smaller windows for privacy. The interior boasts a simple and functional layout, with a service core containing the kitchen and bathroom at the center, which minimizes hallway space and emphasizes the open living area. A large roof overhang provides shelter, creating an interesting play of shadows on the larch wood facade throughout the day.

  • House for Parents in Jeseniky | TRI.ŠTRNÁST architekti | ZHIG

    RESIDENTIAL | House | House for Parents in Jeseniky is a family residence designed by TRI.ŠTRNÁST architekti and completed around 2021 in the Czech Republic. Situated near the Jeseníky Mountains, the project involved transforming a plot where a barn once stood. Instead of demolishing the original structure entirely, the architects salvaged the monumental granite walls, inserting a new timber construction between them to preserve the site's history. The new house is connected to a separate studio/garage via a central, multifunctional outdoor terrace. The design was created for an elderly couple who wished to move from a city apartment to a house with a garden. The primary living space is on the ground floor and is designed to accommodate the couple's future needs, featuring a no-threshold layout and a bathroom accessible to wheelchairs. This main floor includes an entry foyer, bathroom, utility room, living room with dining area and kitchen, and a bedroom. A staircase leads to an attic that serves as a bedroom for visiting family and provides storage for sports equipment for the nearby Ramzová ski area. The house emphasizes sustainability and low-energy performance. The KVH (solid constructional wood) lumber beam system was assembled with minimal fasteners and insulated with blown cellulose. For durability and aesthetic continuity with local architecture, the exterior is clad in charred spruce wood, an application of the shou sugi ban technique. The interior features perimeter walls lined with unfired bricks and finished with clay plaster, which helps regulate humidity and creates a comfortable indoor climate. Heating is provided by a solid fuel stove, with electric cables as a backup. The southern facade is complemented by a stone terrace shaded by a textile canopy, preventing the building from overheating.

  • Utrecht Cabin | Zecc Architecten | ZHIG

    RECREATIONAL | Cabin | Utrecht Cabin, or Recreational House, is a 40-square-meter contemporary cottage in a rural area north of Utrecht, Netherlands. Completed around 2014, the cabin was a collaboration between Zecc Architecten and interior designer Roel van Norel. It is built on the footprint of a former greenhouse and offers a serene getaway for the owners. The cabin features an asymmetrical gable roof clad in slate stone, with a chimney. The exterior combines a largely closed side with one that is highly adaptable, featuring movable horizontal shutters made of Western Red Cedar. When closed, these shutters blend seamlessly with the building's facade, offering privacy and a homogenous appearance. When open, they reveal a full glass wall, connecting the interior with the surrounding woods and a grassy clearing. The interior of the tiny house is defined by fine wood craftsmanship and clever use of space. All facilities—including the kitchen, wood stove, bathroom, and storage—are integrated into a single, handmade oak wall. The space is divided into a front living and dining area and a rear bedroom and bath. A sliding wooden panel can separate these sections for greater privacy. Above the rear section, a mezzanine provides extra sleeping space. Light enters through the full glass wall and a vertical window in the bedroom that extends to the roof's ridgeline.

  • Chalet Papillon | RobitailleCurtis | ZHIG

    RESIDENTIAL | Retreat | Chalet Papillon is a modern family retreat in Wentworth-Nord, Canada, designed by the multidisciplinary firm RobitailleCurtis. Completed in 2024, the two-story house is set on a challenging, steep, and densely wooded site overlooking Lac Notre-Dame in the Laurentian Mountains. The project was a collaboration between founders Sophie Robitaille and Andrew Curtis, along with their design team. The design of Chalet Papillon prioritized minimal environmental disturbance and deforestation. The architects achieved this by positioning the house parallel to the site's contours, with one end dramatically hovering over a granite ledge. This placement allows for panoramic lake and forest views while respecting the natural topography. The chalet is clad in locally sourced eastern white cedar, which weathers to a gray tone that blends with the surrounding tree bark. The interior of Chalet Papillon features an inverted floor plan. The main living area, including the kitchen, dining, and living spaces, is on the upper level, offering expansive views through large windows and a covered, screened-in porch. Inside, the use of pale timber, white walls, and concrete floors creates a bright, spacious, and airy atmosphere. The lower level houses the sleeping quarters, which are nestled within the forest for privacy. This level includes three bunk bedrooms, a bathroom, a playroom, and access to another covered porch. The efficient layout allows the chalet to comfortably sleep up to twelve people. Sustainable design principles were integral to the project, with a focus on maximizing daylight and views while minimizing energy consumption. The thermal envelope is highly insulated, and the design features efficient appliances, LED lighting, and high-performance windows. An intentionally designed path winds down from the lower porch, providing a direct connection to the water's edge.

  • Jelovac House | Studio Synthesis Architecture & Design | ZHIG

    RESIDENTIAL | House | Jelovac House, more formally known as Chalet Jelovac, is a multi-purpose family house completed in 2017 in Kolašin, Montenegro, and designed by Studio Synthesis Architecture & Design. Situated in the sensitive landscape near Park Forest in Dulovine Village at an altitude of 1000 meters, the home is a sustainable and resilient interpretation of a traditional mountain chalet, intended for year-round use. It serves as a holiday home for the architect's family, as well as a location for research and architectural workshops. The design is a response to the location's specific characteristics, including its lush forest and extreme weather conditions. The architectural concept blends traditional forms with modern design, and the structure is integrated into its surroundings with a compact form and a black roof. The exterior is clad in "lučevine" wood, which is locally sourced and was treated to withstand the elements. One of the most notable features is the use of adaptable shutters that, when closed, make the building resemble a "haystack" in winter, improving its thermal efficiency. The 300-square-meter house is designed across four levels, providing a dynamic mix of functions. Large glazed surfaces connect the indoor and outdoor spaces, framing views of the landscape, while the interior is filled with natural light. The basement and attic are dedicated to creative and research activities, while the ground floor contains the main living areas, including a living room, kitchen, and dining area. The upper floor features additional themed rooms with framed views. The chalet is also energy-efficient, with thick timber and aluminum walls and a sophisticated heating and cooling system.
