RESIDENTIAL | House | This house in the center of Tokyo is the home of a couple. The building area is only 18.84 square meters. Despite occupying a very small plot of land, they are able to live a prosperous and fulfilling life. The design incorporates two skylights of different sizes and heights, allowing direct sunlight and moonlight to pour into the room, creating a dynamic atmosphere that reflects the changing seasons. Within this compact Tokyo residence, residents can experience the passage of seasons firsthand. They enjoy an open-air bath on the bath terrace, taking in hot, cold, sunny, rainy, and snowy days every day. The garden features plants that can be seen from the dining space facing the street, blending indoor and outdoor living seamlessly. Collected LP records and books are lined up throughout the house, emphasizing a love for music and literature. The couple's philosophy is not to minimize their space but to maximize abundance, making the most of every corner. At the end of the large window is a private road accessible to local residents, adding a sense of community to their living environment. The garden is designed with a life road, serving both as a pathway and a planting area. Neighbors often talk about gardening, walking their dogs, and children frequently look into this small house with curiosity and interest, fostering a close-knit neighborhood atmosphere. | https://static.wixstatic.com/media/a0ba0f_35c4edc7f97d4aa1b9f7592996e3b67f~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_2000,h_1875,al_c,q_90/Love2%20House-Takeshi%20Hosaka%20Architects-Photographer-KOJI%20FUJII%20(1).jpg Please Wait Love2 House-Takeshi Hosaka Architects-Photographer-KOJI FUJII (23).jpg Love2 House-Takeshi Hosaka Architects-Photographer-KOJI FUJII (24).jpg Love2 House-Takeshi Hosaka Architects-Photographer-KOJI FUJII (25).jpg 1/6 0 Product 5.8K Views 0 0 Pin Pin Private Public x Appreciators Appreciated Appreciate Please Log in Love2 House Tokyo, Japan Architects: Takeshi Hosaka Architects Takeshi Hosaka Architects Architecture Office Japan Area: Year: City: Client: 18 m² 2019 Tokyo Construction: Category: RESIDENTIAL Project Type: House Post Type: Building Country: Japan Photographers: KOJI FUJII the Architects Description: This house in the center of Tokyo is the home of a couple.

Completed in 2019, the project is situated on a slope with views towards Cerro Piltriquitron. The architecture is adapted to the natural incline of the terrain, allowing the house to step down in a way that maximizes the panoramic vista. The cabin's design emphasizes efficiency and sustainability. A 2-foot by 2-foot grid system was used to modularize the construction, which reduced material waste and enabled a quicker build time. A substantial northern overhang was incorporated to passively protect the interior from the sun, while cross-ventilation provides a natural cooling mechanism. For the interior, full sheets of pine plywood were used to create a cozy, cabin-like feel, showcasing the modularity of the construction. The exterior material choices included charred wood, utilizing the Shou Sugi Ban technique on the north and south walls for weather protection, and black corrugated metal for the roof, east, and west walls. Half of the cabin rests on a concrete slab, providing thermal mass for regulating interior temperatures. Recycled cellulose was used for insulation.

RESIDENTIAL | House | The Garður Landhouse is a contemporary turf house located on the east bank of the Ytri Rangá river in Iceland, completed in 2014 by Studio Granda. The 68-square-meter home is a modern interpretation of the traditional Icelandic turf house, designed to blend into the landscape by appearing as a continuation of the earth mounds surrounding it. The roof is covered with wild grass and heather, with rainwater channeled through open copper fittings between the northern gables. The house is partially embedded within the grassy landscape, with walls that are either earth-covered or composed of large, glazed sections that provide panoramic views of the surroundings. This design allows for a strong connection to the spectacular landscape, creating the sense of a hidden retreat. The external walls are of the same in-situ concrete as the interior, with some areas featuring columnar basalt masonry. The interior boasts a simple and minimalist aesthetic, with concrete floors and large windows that connect the living spaces to the expansive outdoors.

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.

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.

RESIDENTIAL | House | We designed this modern home to fit the scale of the neighborhood, which was mostly one-story bungalows. The house is conceived of as two small cabins. The front cabin is a one-story structure that faces the street and keeps with the scale of the block. It houses the living room, kitchen, and dining room, while a small bump-out at the front allows for a wood burning stove and built-in media cabinet. The back cabin is a two-story structure that contains the bedrooms, bathrooms, a small office and laundry. The upper level of the back cabin houses the primary bedroom with views over the Biltmore Estate grounds. Between the two cabins is the entrance. With dark wood walls and a small built-in bench under a circular window there is an undeniable tea-house vibe as you enter the home. When designing the home, we went for a “warm” modernism. We love the clean lines and thoughtful composition of modernism, but did not want the house to feel cold or sterile. As such, we included a number of custom built-ins and plenty of naturally finished wood walls and ceilings. The kitchen has white oak cabinets with birch walls and oak floor. The primary bathroom has an arched shower, birch ceiling, and skylights. The end result is both modern and inviting. We were also really lucky to have an amazing client in Everyday Oil owner Emma Allen. We worked with her to select handmade tiles for the bathrooms and kitchen backsplash and she did an amazing job of sourcing all the interior furniture and bed sets. | https://static.wixstatic.com/media/a0ba0f_202c0c4ab1604a40b3c6a36ecbb597a5~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1030,h_686,al_c,q_85/31.Clifton%20Street%20House-ASSEMBLY-Sadie%20Culberson%20(1).jpg Please Wait 31.Clifton Street House-ASSEMBLY-Sadie Culberson (1).jpg We designed this modern home to fit the scale of the neighborhood, which was mostly one-story bungalows.

RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | Borzestova is a complex of two summer houses with a built-up area of 35 m². The project was evaluated several times while working on it. This resulted from changes in the needs of investors as well as changes taking place in the immediate vicinity of the plot. The guidelines changed, but the idea of the project remained the same to develop the plot in a way that connects people with nature. Investors wanted to share the charm of the place with others hence the decision to make houses available for rent. Despite the neighboring buildings, the project retains its intimacy. It allows you to enjoy silence and spend time away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The plot, apart from the outline of the buildings, is a biologically active area (permeable surfaces are grass or aggregate stabilized with a geogrid) supplemented with recreational facilities. The shape of the building draws from the values of traditional Kashubian architecture. A gable roof with a symmetrical angle of inclination was used, as well as uniform colors of the facade and roof covering. The contrast of window recesses and facades, as well as the form of roofing over the entrances to the building, bring to mind elements of classic Kashubian houses. And it is on these elements that you can notice the play of light and shadow, which, depending on the season, give the buildings new views. The dark color of the facade boards is achieved using the Japanese Shou Sugi Ban wood burning method. The glazing of the summer house is a screen filled with nature - the forest wall and the water surface of the lake, visible from between the trees. The whole thing was designed using frame technology. | https://static.wixstatic.com/media/a0ba0f_d3b702496cf3419fa995cefe80c4d322~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1900,h_1300,al_c,q_90/BORZESTOVA%20Cabin-YONO%20Architecture-Nate%20Cook%20(1).jpg Please Wait BORZESTOVA Cabin-YONO Architecture-Nate Cook (1).jpg BORZESTOVA Cabin-YONO Architecture-Nate Cook (2).jpg BORZESTOVA Cabin-YONO Architecture-Nate Cook (3).jpg 1/2 0 Product 7.8K Views 12 0 Pin Pin Private Public x Appreciators Appreciated Appreciate Please Log in BORZESTOVA Cabin 22-330 Kaszuby, Poland Architects: YONO Architecture YONO Architecture Architecture Office Poland Area: Year: City: Client: 46.9 m² 2022 Kaszuby Borzestova Construction: Category: RESIDENTIAL Project Type: Cabin Post Type: Building Country: Poland Photographers: Nate Cook the Architects Description: Borzestova is a complex of two summer houses with a built-up area of 35 m².

RESIDENTIAL | House | The House on the Pond, or Maison sur l'Étang in French, is a secondary dwelling designed by Montreal-based Atelier Échelle. Located in the rural municipality of Austin in Québec, Canada, the project was completed in 2023. Created to complement the client's ancestral home on the same property, the house was envisioned as a compact yet versatile "jewel box" with a strong connection to its natural surroundings. The design of the 120-square-meter house is a modern reinterpretation of traditional Québec agrarian architecture. Atelier Échelle successfully navigated tight local building regulations, which capped the floor area, by maximizing covered terraces and creating a flexible interior layout. The house is elevated on an insulated concrete block foundation, with a lower level carved into the ground, and a mezzanine level built into the gabled roof. This design allows the building to adapt to the seasons, with expanded outdoor spaces in favorable weather and a cozy, protected interior during winter. The interior spaces are characterized by warmth, timelessness, and a connection to nature. A double-height living room on the main level is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and large windows that provide expansive views of the adjacent pond and distant mountains. The kitchen features custom rift-cut white oak millwork and a gold-streaked white quartzite counter. The primary bedroom is located on the mezzanine level, while a children's bunk room is tucked into the subterranean level. The basement also includes a TV lounge and a bathroom. The choice of materials emphasizes durability, sustainability, and a respectful connection to the local environment. The exterior cladding and decks are made of Kebony, a sustainable, modified wood product. The interiors feature rift-cut white oak millwork and unlacquered brass hardware, which will develop a rich patina over time. A soft, putty-colored sandstone is used for the sunken fire pit, complementing the gold-streaked quartzite in the kitchen.

Atelier Échelle is based in Montreal with roots in New York. We are founded on the belief that design is best expressed in a holistic approach and thinking at multiple scales. We have been busy creating interiors, exteriors, furniture, and everything in between, and we love to think of our studio as a means of exploration, creation, and collaboration with our clients. Founded by Veronica and Mathieu Lemieux-Blanchard, Atelier Échelle evolves on the premise that a project developed on both exterior and interior scales unifies and enhances its architectural expression. Veronica and Mathieu met while studying for their Master's in Architecture at Harvard University. They subsequently pursued their respective careers in architecture and interior design before finally joining forces at Gachot Studio and eventually founding Atelier Échelle. Their experience ranges from institutional projects to hotels, restaurants, residences, and retail outlets of all sizes. Category ... Post Type ... Project Type ... Country ... Year ... Area ...

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.

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.

The project, conceived in 2017 when the architect acquired a large quantity of rough-sawn white oak lumber, was built over three years and was heavily influenced by the process of its own creation. The availability, condition, and sizes of the salvaged materials dictated the form of the final structure, resulting in a design that is both a practical retreat and a testament to unconventional architectural production. The building exhibits a ""gritty, imperfect nature"" that gives it a timeless character, despite being new construction. The design purposefully incorporates reused materials, with reclaimed oak forming the main structure and brick salvaged from a 1940s printing press making up parts of the construction. The black siding pays homage to the traditional tobacco barns found throughout the Eastern U.S. landscape. An architect's great-grandfather's swing is also incorporated into the design, adding a personal and historical touch. The result is a structure that looks as though it has existed on the property for a much longer time. While serving as a retreat for camping and socially distanced gatherings, Perch 2.0's purpose extends beyond its function. Much of its value was realized during the construction process itself, allowing the architect to explore a direct and unmediated approach to building.

RECREATIONAL | Cabin | The Pura Vida Shelters, designed by Heron Estudio, are a pair of innovative, modular beach cabins located along the coastline of La Paloma, Uruguay. Conceived with the intention of blending modern architecture with a Nordic aesthetic, the shelters offer a retreat that harmonizes with the serene coastal environment. The project is built around the principle of modular construction, utilizing prefabricated components for efficient assembly, minimized environmental impact, and adaptability. This approach allows the shelters to be both versatile and resilient, with a design capable of withstanding the rigors of coastal weather. The exterior of the shelters is defined by black sheet metal cladding, which provides a striking contrast against the natural landscape. Inside, the spaces are lined entirely with warm wood, creating a cozy and comfortable atmosphere. The design is minimalist and features clean lines, echoing the Nordic architectural style that inspired the project. This material contrast creates a unique experience for the occupants, transitioning from a robust, weather-resistant exterior to a welcoming, timber-clad interior. The cabins are also designed with sustainability in mind, incorporating eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient systems to ensure minimal environmental impact. The shelters provide a peaceful space for visitors to connect with nature, whether seeking solitude or company. They are a compelling example of how architecture can integrate into and enhance a natural setting, providing a comforting place to relax.

The country’s built identity is uniquely anchored by Great Zimbabwe—the largest ancient stone superstructure in sub-Saharan Africa—which developed a highly sophisticated dry-stone tectonic style centuries before European contact. This monumental stone soul is layered today with British colonial brick avenues, a striking wave of mid-century tropical modernism, and a contemporary lead in biomimetic, eco-conscious engineering.

LODGES | Cabin | Constructed in 2024 by EERI Studio (Everyday Essentials Research Institute), the Spark Lodges are a set of modular, prefabricated holiday cabins located at the YDD Resort in Changsha, China. The three-story lodges, with a floor area of 76 square meters, were designed for a tourist village in Jinkeng, Hunan, and draw inspiration from the area's rich history, particularly its connection to the fireworks industry. The design harmoniously blends contemporary industrial materials with the natural, rural surroundings of rice fields and the distant Lianyun Mountains. The exterior of the cabins is composed of green-painted steel frames, pine planks, and most notably, translucent polycarbonate panels that wrap around the roof and certain wall sections. The polycarbonate material, in particular, was chosen for its cost-effectiveness and ability to create a dynamic and "sparkling" effect as light conditions change. These translucent forms give the structures a striking, ethereal quality, especially when viewed against the backdrop of the rice fields and mountains. The interior of each lodge is designed to create a continuous and changing viewing experience for its occupants. On the ground floor, large, three-sided, floor-to-ceiling windows provide a panoramic, horizontal view of the rice fields, intentionally blurring the line between inside and out. Moving up to the second-floor bedroom, the windows become smaller and more strategically placed, framing "close-up, square-shaped paintings" of the landscape and ensuring privacy. The highest level is a loft space that opens up vertically, offering an expansive view of the distant mountains and framing it like a long, vertical Chinese Shan-shui painting.

MULTI-FUNCTIONAL | Studio | Situated within the expansive, 1,000-acre Clear Rock Ranch near Johnson City, Texas, the Clear Rock Lookout is a 450-square-foot structure completed in 2016 and designed by Ryan and Stephanie Lemmo of Lemmo Architecture and Design. The lookout was conceived as a multi-purpose building, serving as a hunting blind, a writing studio, and an observation deck that provides stunning panoramic views of the surrounding Texas Hill Country. It is intentionally nestled below a limestone cliff edge, requiring it to be "discovered" by those approaching from the top of the mesa. The design is a celebration of simple materials and low-tech methods, with a focus on artistry and craftsmanship. To contrast with the ranch's more traditional Hill Country vernacular, the lookout features a modern form and was constructed with naturally weathering steel, also known as Cor-Ten steel. This choice was inspired by the owner's past, which included welding oil tanks, and allows the structure to age naturally and blend in with the surrounding terrain. Inside, the rough exterior gives way to a softer palette, with plain walls, wooden ceilings, and large floor-to-ceiling windows that fill the space with light and frame the views. The interior space is divided into a writing studio and a hunting blind, connected by a walkway that wraps around the exterior and leads to the rooftop observation deck. The careful detailing and use of warm woods contribute to the building's aesthetic as a "jewel box in the landscape". The thoughtful placement and design of the lookout were recognized with a 2017 AIA Austin Design Award.
