MULTI-FUNCTIONAL | Barn | The Sixteen-Oak Barn, created by HilberinkBosch architects, is a project rooted in local tradition and sustainable, on-site material reuse. Faced with the necessity of felling seven century-old oak trees on their estate near 's-Hertogenbosch in the Netherlands, architects Annemariken Hilberink and Geert Bosch made the decision to repurpose the ailing timber themselves rather than selling it to a paper factory. This resourceful approach led to the construction of a new multi-purpose barn adjacent to their studio, which is housed in a converted farmhouse. The design of the Sixteen-Oak Barn draws inspiration from the traditional farmhouses of the Meierij region, which historically incorporated various functions into a single structure. The architects made use of every part of the felled oak trees, supplemented by a couple of additional oaks from the nearby Wamberg estate. A mobile sawmill was brought to the site to cut the best-quality core sections of the trunks into structural timber for the frames, roof, and façade. The asymmetrical roof, which features a steep and a low-pitched side, was covered with durable shingles made from smaller sections of oak. The rough-hewn exterior siding was created using pieces of timber with the bark still attached, which gives the façade a textured, organic appearance. The project also embraces the imperfections found in the materials, including marks left by remnants of barbed wire and shrapnel embedded in the old trees, which add to the building's character. The remaining waste wood was chopped and set aside for use as firewood to heat the building during colder months. The barn itself is a blend of rustic and modern aesthetics, incorporating a minimal palette of natural materials: oak, concrete, and glass. Inside, the exposed timber frame is paired with board-formed concrete walls, creating surfaces with unique patterns left by the sapwood used for the forms. Large glass panels and slatted windows allow light to flood into the interior. The 1,300-square-foot structure is divided into three main areas: a carport, a storage room, and a workshop that doubles as a meeting space for the firm. Above the storage room is an open loft space that overlooks the workshop area.

COMMERCIAL | Facade design | Studio Libeskind designed the bold façade of the new Hyundai Development Company headquarters located in Seoul, South Korea, to integrate the building with a public plaza and below-grade spaces, as well as serve future development on the site. A gigantic, 203-foot ring, encompassing red and white geometric forms, and an inclined metal vector was superimposed onto the existing modern office tower, transforming the main façade and plaza areas. The façade also includes working balconies and louvers. The design explores the interplay of light and shadow, varying light conditions throughout the year and creating a meditative environment for reflection. The project was completed in 2005. | https://static.wixstatic.com/media/9756fd_ce9ada47629d4531afc92e007c9af111~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_2280,h_1808,al_c,q_90/TANGENT%20FA%C3%87ADE.jpg Please Wait TANGENT FAÇADE2.jpg TANGENT FAÇADE3.jpg TANGENT FAÇADE4.jpg 1/3 0 Product 3.3K Views 0 0 Pin Pin Private Public x Appreciators Appreciated Appreciate Please Log in Tangent façade Seoul, South Korea Architects: Daniel Libeskind Studio Daniel Libeskind Studio Architecture Office United States Area: Year: City: Client: - 2005 Seoul Hyundai Development Corporation Construction: - Category: COMMERCIAL Project Type: Facade design Post Type: Building Country: South Korea Photographers: the architects Description: Studio Libeskind designed the bold façade of the new Hyundai Development Company headquarters located in Seoul, South Korea, to integrate the building with a public plaza and below-grade spaces, as well as serve future development on the site.

RESIDENTIAL | Summer House | The Kaggeboda House, a summer retreat designed by Stockholm-based AndrénFogelström in collaboration with Kolman Boye Architects, is a unique arrangement of three separate cabins nestled in the Stockholm archipelago. Completed in 2013, the design is centered on encouraging an intimate connection with nature by requiring residents to step outside to move between different living areas. The house offers a modern take on the traditional Swedish summer cottage, with a decentralized layout that has gained particular relevance for its innovative approach to small-scale living. The project is conceptualized as a "mini village" where three cabins of varying sizes are arranged in close relation to one another on a shared wooden deck. The dark, strong exterior and light, simple interior are designed to harmonize with the surrounding pine forest and the rocky terrain of Norrtälje, Sweden. Exterior: The facades are clad in a dark, phenol-coated plywood, typically used for forming concrete, which gives the cabins a distinctive, weather-resistant finish. The doors, also dark and industrial, are made from the same metal sheeting used for the roofs. Interior: In contrast to the tough exterior, the interiors are bright, warm, and serene, clad entirely in white-waxed birch plywood. The attention to detail is evident in the seamless, custom-built furniture and aligned wood joints, which give the space the feel of a meticulously crafted object. The three buildings serve distinct purposes: Main Cabin: The largest of the three contains an open-plan living room, kitchen, bedroom, and dining area, all centered around a wood-burning stove. Mid-size Cabin: The second building houses a study and a guest room. Smallest Cabin: The third cabin is used for storage but was designed to be flexible enough to be converted into a bathroom if needed. Outdoor living: The wooden deck connects the cabins and functions as an extension of the living space, featuring various lounge areas and an outdoor kitchen. The arrangement emphasizes outdoor living and the simple beauty of a summer spent close to nature.

RESIDENTIAL | Tiny Home | Completed in 2019, Monte House is a 42-square-meter compact vacation home designed by TACO taller de arquitectura contextual for a young couple. Located on a 10,000-square-meter plot in the wild landscape of southeastern Mexico, the house is a secluded retreat that encourages contemplation and a close connection to its natural surroundings. The structure is a simple and compact two-story volume set on a platform elevated off the ground. This elevation helps protect against undesirable animals and facilitates construction on the site's rocky terrain, which prevented excavation. The home is strategically oriented to work with the region's dominant winds and sun exposure, ensuring a comfortable interior temperature. The exterior and interior are finished with a rough stucco and an artisanal lime-based paint with mineral pigments, giving the building a natural, reddish tone that blends with the surrounding soil. Regional cedar wood is used for the folding doors and operable louvers, allowing residents to control the amount of privacy and connection to the outdoors. A pre-existing tree provides shade for the swimming pool and terrace, an extension of the interior social area. The compact interior includes a double-height living room with a kitchenette, a sleeping mezzanine, and a bathroom with an outdoor shower. The interior design features a collection of locally crafted design pieces in natural tones that enhance the space's warmth and connection to the region.

The home is strategically oriented to work with the region's dominant winds and sun exposure, ensuring a comfortable interior temperature. The exterior and interior are finished with a rough stucco and an artisanal lime-based paint with mineral pigments, giving the building a natural, reddish tone that blends with the surrounding soil. Regional cedar wood is used for the folding doors and operable louvers, allowing residents to control the amount of privacy and connection to the outdoors. A pre-existing tree provides shade for the swimming pool and terrace, an extension of the interior social area. The compact interior includes a double-height living room with a kitchenette, a sleeping mezzanine, and a bathroom with an outdoor shower. The interior design features a collection of locally crafted design pieces in natural tones that enhance the space's warmth and connection to the region.

RESIDENTIAL | Refuge | La Terencia is a 47-square-meter prefabricated beach refuge in Balneario Los Ángeles, Argentina, completed in 2022 by the architectural firm IR arquitectura. Designed to be a flexible and minimal dwelling, the structure can withstand the region's strong coastal weather while minimizing its environmental footprint. The refuge was entirely prefabricated in a workshop and assembled on-site in just two weeks, a process that significantly reduced construction time. The structure is built on a concrete slab to provide a stable base in the shifting coastal landscape. The steel tube frames consist of standard 1x2-inch and 2x2-inch sections, with the roof formed by shaped beams. The exterior is clad in galvanized sinusoidal sheet metal. The interior is lined with multi-laminate panels, and glass wool insulation is used in both the walls and roof to ensure optimal thermal and acoustic comfort. The interior layout is compact and efficient, designed to maximize the limited 47-square-meter footprint. The layout features a high-ceilinged central area where the upper level is mounted on the lower one. The front of the cabin has a large lift-up gate that not only serves as the main access point but also expands the living space into a gallery, providing extensive natural light and views of the sea. Two additional skylights are placed on the roof, positioned over the sleeping areas on the upper level to improve lighting and ventilation. The toilet, kitchen, and storage areas are located on the lower level, while two sleeping spaces occupy the upper mezzanine level, which has a reduced ceiling height.

RESIDENTIAL | Renovation | The Portola Valley Residence, renovated by Malcolm Davis Architecture in 2016, is a mid-century modern home that was revitalized to create a strong connection with its natural surroundings. The house is situated on a forested hillside in Portola Valley, California, offering expansive views of the western vistas and feeling secluded despite its suburban location. The project focused on integrating and unifying the structure, which had been subjected to disjointed renovations over the years, to better serve the active, nature-loving family who owns it. Architect Malcolm Davis and his team set about reconfiguring the layout and opening the house to the outdoors, removing obstructions that blocked the views and reorganizing the floorplan to create a more logical and open flow. They expanded the kitchen, creating a better connection between the open kitchen, living, and dining areas. In the dining room, new sliding glass doors and a wraparound balcony were added, providing occupants with a seamless indoor-outdoor experience. The project also included the expansion of a guesthouse, adding a sitting area and a second-floor artist's studio connected to the main house by a bridge. The materials palette is natural and warm, featuring Douglas fir cabinetry in the kitchen and an exterior of burnt cedar siding and stucco. The renovation was so successful that it feels like a cohesive, new home rather than a remodel, seamlessly "retelling the story" of the original mid-century structure.

RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | The hermitage is a space of contemplation and reflection. Isolated from the world, it overlooks a still wild valley, secluded from everything. Space, not place. This is defined by wood panel, vertical and horizontal lines that are tuned in a thin yet clear equilibrium. The artefact is a hybridization between a Japanese tea house and a Scandinavian Cabin. It seems to recall the use of materials typically used in architecture, like metal facades and beam structures, reinterpreting through the use of wood. The project was realized in two weeks by the studio team, in order to deepen compositional themes and to transmit the “design with your hands” approach to the studio. This “know how” is always characterized by the llabb architettura work.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
