RETREATS | Cabin | Constructed in 2014 by Chilean studio DRAA (del Rio Arquitectos Asociados) for a budget of just $15,000, the Charred Cabin is a 15-square-meter weekend retreat located on a historic mountain road in Olmué, Chile. Situated on a steep hillside, the cabin is elevated on stilts to maximize views of the surrounding coastal mountains and historic landscape. Its design was influenced by the site's unique history and melancholy atmosphere, serving as a minimalist mountain hideout for an academic couple. The exterior cladding is made from inexpensive pine planks that have been traditionally charred on-site. This natural, chemical-free process protects the wood from decay, rot, and insects, while also creating a distinct black aesthetic that helps the structure blend into the rugged terrain. The cabin is built from prefabricated structural insulated panels (SIPs), which helped keep costs down and allowed for quick, efficient assembly by a small team. The interior of the cabin is defined by its simplicity and warmth. Plywood panels line the walls, concealing pipes and electrical wiring while providing a cozy finish that contrasts with the exterior. The main living area features a high ceiling that amplifies the sense of space. A black steel ladder provides access to a mezzanine sleeping loft above the kitchenette and wet bath. Clerestory windows in the loft frame panoramic views of the mountains, while a large window in the living area focuses on the valley below.

RESIDENTIAL | House | Designed by noted Bay Area architect Joseph Esherick, the home was third in a series of affordable demonstration houses commissioned by the developers of The Sea Ranch, a weekend home community and cultural experiment grounded in 1960s idealism. The home’s current owner, its second since its construction in 1968, sought to restore the home while improving its liveability and performance. George Homsey, Esherick’s partner, consulted on the exterior restoration. New plywood and laminate kitchen cabinets with apartment-size appliances were designed to utilize every inch of space. The original plywood shelving was restored using reclaimed materials from the demolition. A hinged partition gives privacy between the two bedrooms, designed to preserve the original intent of the bedroom level by folding away into the wall when not in use. Large windows connect the interior space to the coastal redwood forest, a towering specimen just outside the workspace window.

RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | Nestled in an ecological allotment garden in Groningen, the Netherlands, the Poplar Garden House is a small, contemporary shed designed by architect Haiko Meijer of Onix for his own family. Completed around 2011, the 32-square-meter cabin was conceived as a low-impact, off-grid retreat within the Tuinwijck allotment gardens, a green space where city residents can rent plots for gardening and leisure. The design prioritizes simplicity and sustainability, using materials and energy systems that respect its natural setting. The house features a simple gabled roof but is modernized through large openings and vertical glazing strips that echo the poplar panels used for its construction. Constructed entirely from uniform poplar planks, the house is both a functional living space and an artistic sculpture, with the boards covering the interior and exterior. This unified material palette, from the walls and floors to the foundation and roof, creates a consistent and warm aesthetic. The planks are designed to be removable, allowing for future artistic customization. Its L-shaped floor plan and strategic placement create two distinct outdoor areas: a sunny, extroverted space facing a playground and a private, introverted, and shaded space facing a drainage ditch. The interior features a central living space, a compact kitchenette with a gas cooktop, and a concrete counter that merges with a built-in fireplace. With no electric power supplied to the allotment, the house is completely powered by natural daylight and rooftop solar panels. A circular skylight and narrow vertical windows illuminate the space, while a raised sleeping loft offers a cozy, elevated sleeping area.

RESIDENTIAL | House | Constructed in 2010, the 64-square-meter HAMRA is a summer house located on the island of Gotland, Sweden, designed by architecture studio DinellJohansson. The project was developed on a limited budget, which was compensated by a long construction period involving friends and builders. The final design mimics the barn-like quality that the clients initially wanted to convert but could not find on the market. Following local building traditions, the exterior features plastered walls, built from lightweight concrete blocks, and a 45-degree gable roof clad in corrugated Aluzink steel sheets. The dimensions of the house and its openings were carefully planned to fit the size of the masonry blocks, minimizing material waste. Four large, 2.4x2m openings are arranged with rotational symmetry, one on each facade, giving the house a lack of hierarchy and treating all sides equally. Three of these are glazed doors, and one is a fixed window. The interior of HAMRA is one open space dominated by two plywood volumes that create areas for sleeping and play. All service functions, including technical equipment, water, and drainage, are organized along a narrow, 90cm-wide strip that runs through the house. Spatial elements like a kitchen, fireplace, stairs, storage, and bookshelves are also located along this strip. The furniture was largely assembled from salvaged or reused building materials. A corrugated steel ceiling and plastered walls give the interior an "outside but inside" quality, complemented by plywood-clad sections around two skylights. The kitchen features a 3.1x0.9-meter concrete bench with an integrated fireplace, cast in-situ, with cupboards made from remaining formwork plywood.

RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | Designed by Helsinki-based Avanto Architects, the Four-Cornered Villa is an off-grid, sustainable retreat located on a remote horseshoe-shaped island near Virrat, Finland. Completed in 2010, the project was designed by the firm's partners, Anu Puustinen and Ville Hara, as their own holiday residence. Concept and location The 78 m² cabin is a minimalist retreat that provides a profound contrast to hectic city life, offering a chance to live simply with minimal environmental impact. The villa's cross-shaped plan is a deliberate design choice, with each of its four wings reaching out toward a distinct view of the surrounding landscape. This intentional layout ensures that the residents can enjoy three unique views of the lake and a forest view to the west. The orientation also allows for different light at various times of the day—morning light in the kitchen, midday sun in the dining area, and evening light in the living room. The exterior is clad in a black-stained wood that helps the building to recede and blend into the dark forest, while the flat roof is a nod to modernist architectural clichés. The interior, by contrast, is kept bright with light-colored wood on the floors and walls, and it is finished with a white wood wax. The simple, functional furnishings enhance the home's rustic charm. The main villa and a separate, 24 m² sauna building were built with a modest budget, aided by the ascetic, off-grid nature of the facilities. The Four-Cornered Villa is a model of low-impact, sustainable living. The structure is heavily insulated and heated solely by wood-burning fireplaces and stoves, sourcing wood from the island's own forest. Covered terraces prevent overheating during the hot Finnish summers while allowing passive solar gain in the winter. The cabin's minimal electricity needs are met by solar panels. The villa has no running water, with water sourced directly from the nearby Vaskivesi Lake. A vegetable and herb garden on-site provides food, and the lake offers fishing for pike-perch.

RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | Architect Cyril Chênebeau created the "Two Cabins On Stilts" (Les Cabanes Perchées) in Saint-Martin-Vésubie, France, near the Mercantour National Park, as immersive, all-season getaways. Completed in 2022, the project consists of two identical, nine-sided cabin volumes elevated on V-shaped larch stilts. The design balances a traditional gabled cabin form with a contemporary, "perched" habitat that minimizes its footprint on the forested site. Each cabin is shaped as a nine-sided prism with a double-sided gabled roof. The interior is spacious, with generous ceiling heights that follow the roofline. Large windows and strategically placed openings frame views of the surrounding larch forest, filtering light into the interior throughout the day. The living area is organized around a central hearth, with a visible and connected spa area that is also accessible from the large south-facing terrace. This provides a unique alpine experience for guests. The cabins are clad in dark, charred wood cladding, which echoes the color of the larch tree bark and helps the structures blend into their environment. The cabins are supported by a unique, three-dimensional wooden post structure made of stripped larch poles. The V-shaped posts evoke leaning tree trunks and reinforce the "perched" visual effect. This light-colored structural wood is left exposed to create a visual contrast with the dark facade. The interior features a warm, refined material palette with carefully selected coverings and furniture. Project team and credits Architect: Cyril Chênebeau. Client: SMDVVV (CG06).

RESIDENTIAL | House | The Sonoma weeHouse is a custom, high-end prefab residential project designed by Alchemy Architects for former Apple designer BJ Siegel and his wife. Completed in 2016, the house is located in the Santa Rosa valley, California, and is situated to maximize expansive views over the landscape. Design and architectural features Modular structure: The project is composed of two main prefabricated modules: a 640-square-foot main house and a 330-square-foot guesthouse. Minimalist aesthetic: The structures were designed as simple, open-sided boxes, echoing a minimalist aesthetic that the client favored. They sit on concrete plinths and are positioned to make the house feel as light on the ground as possible. Weathering steel facade: The exterior is clad in corrugated weathering steel (Corten), which has a distinctive rusting finish that helps the building blend into the natural, rural landscape of seasonal grasses and oak trees. Expansive glass walls: Both modules feature nine-foot-tall sliding glass walls, enabling the interiors to open up to the outdoors and connect inhabitants with the surrounding nature. Cantilevered deck: An outdoor porch cantilevers over the valley, extending the living space out into the landscape. This posed a unique construction challenge that required a separate module to be attached on-site. Ipe and oak interiors: The interior is lined with durable, textured ipe wood, which contrasts with the minimalist Cor-Ten exterior. The main living space features an oak "bedbox," and the cabinetry uses oiled oak. Interior layout: The main house functions like a studio, with an open-plan kitchen, living area, and a semi-enclosed sleeping space. Recessed pocket doors and screens, including a drop-down insect screen, minimize visual clutter. Construction and delivery The prefab modules were designed in Minnesota by Alchemy Architects and were fabricated in a factory in Oregon. The modules were delivered to the California site about 90% complete, significantly reducing on-site construction time and labor. Steel accessories, such as stairs and porch railings, were prefabricated separately in Minnesota and also delivered to the site. A crane was used to carefully place the structures on the concrete foundations between the existing oak trees. Credits Architects: Alchemy Architects (Lead Architect: Geoffrey Warner).

RESIDENTIAL | House | The Enough House is a 700-square-foot timber-framed dwelling designed by MacKay-Lyons Sweetapple Architects as a prototype for minimalist living with a "rural industrial" aesthetic. Completed in 2015, the project is located in Upper Kingsburg, Nova Scotia, on architect Brian MacKay-Lyons's Shobac farm, a "Ghost Architectural Laboratory" and campus that serves as a research ground for the firm. The small, gabled volume functions as a gatehouse on the property, creating a dialogue with adjacent historic structures. Clad in Cor-Ten steel, its rusty orange exterior intentionally contrasts with the surrounding landscape of rolling pastures and the silver-grey finishes of other campus buildings. The design is practical for the region's climate, with a lack of eaves to prevent ice dam formation in an area known for a high number of freeze/thaw cycles. Raised off the ground by three reinforced concrete fin walls, the structure is designed to "touch the land lightly," a principle inspired by Australian architect Glenn Murcutt. These fin walls also extend to shape an entry dooryard and a fire court, integrating the house with its immediate surroundings. Inside, the home explores the beauty of raw materials and simple construction. Exposed wood framing and Douglas fir plywood sheathing create a warm, rustic interior, with Cor-Ten steel details echoing the exterior. A central plywood-sheathed core contains the more "finished" service areas, like the kitchen and bathroom. Expansive windows, including a large corner window, frame views of the pastoral valley and the Atlantic coast, connecting the minimalist interior with the dramatic landscape.

CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURE | Mixed-use Development | Two iconic towers designed by Jean Nouvel for Block 2 of the Frasers Broadway project transform the skyline of Sydney. The program includes a 34-story residential apartment tower and a 12-story serviced apartment tower set on a common retail podium.The 130 meter high building is the culminating landmark of the multi-building Frasers Broadway project, located on a former brewery site near the downtown. A vertical landscape designed in collaboration with French botanist and artist Patrick Blanc covers approximately 50% of the building’s façade area. The landscape extends the planted area of the adjacent urban park vertically onto the building, creating an exceptional living environment for the building’s residents and a powerful green icon on the Sydney skyline. Hydroponic walls and low profile horizontal planters and support cables integrated into the tower’s facades support a variety of climbing and spreading plants. The plants act as a natural sun control device that changes with the seasons, shielding the apartments from direct sun during summer while admitting a maximum of sunlight in winter. A combination of sustainable design strategies makes Block 2 the first residential tower in Sydney to achieve a 6 Green Star rating.The apartments and serviced apartments feature indoor/outdoor loggias that extend the living space outside to take maximum advantage of Sydney’s temperate climate. On the north and east façades, the loggias extend in from the façade to protect residents from noise, wind and sun. On the south and west they extend out from the façade to take maximum advantage of views toward the park. | https://static.wixstatic.com/media/9756fd_2ee9853cd5a54937913e27a65e21ac03~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_531,h_710,al_c,q_85/One%20Central%20Park3.jpg 1/0 Private Public Pin Pin 0 x Appreciators 0 3D models Product 2.7K Views 0 Appreciated Appreciate Please login to appreciate One Central Park 614/3 Carlton Street, Chippendale NSW 2008, Australia Source: Published on Sep 26, 2023 by: Architectural Designer Grace Lee Premium Member More Buildings from Australia Facts: Up Up Architecture Office Ateliers Jean Nouvel France Category: CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURE Mixed-use Development Project Type: Post Type: Building Country: Australia Photographers: Architects: Ateliers Jean Nouvel and PTW Architects Area: 97,000 m² Year: 2014 City: Sydney Construction: - Client - Description: the architects Text description by Two iconic towers designed by Jean Nouvel for Block 2 of the Frasers Broadway project transform the skyline of Sydney.

CULTURAL | Museum | The MOBE is one of six projects FXCollaborative is designing within the King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD), a new 55 million-square-foot mixed-use urban community. The building is sited on a large plaza bisected by a sunken Wadi, a pedestrian park. Over 340,000 square feet of permanent and temporary exhibition space will feature works related to arts and architecture in the peninsula. Other programmatic elements include a 150-seat auditorium, a destination restaurant and terrace. The Saudi Arabian world heritage sites of Madain Saleh and At-Turaif inspired the Museum's chiseled, crystalline form. The building's exterior cladding expresses its programmatic functions; the lower public floors are transparent, while upper levels are more opaque, clad with prismatic laminated glass panels which create a varied textural quality and allow daylight to penetrate at controlled locations. | https://static.wixstatic.com/media/9756fd_6a234c74743d48e9b814cfeaef3468c1~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_2880,h_1732,al_c,q_90/Museum%20of%20the%20Built%20Environment%20(5).jpg 1/0 Private Public Pin Pin 0 x Appreciators 0 3D models Product 2.8K Views 0 Appreciated Appreciate Please login to appreciate Museum of the Built Environment 12613, Riyadh 12613, Saudi Arabia fxcollaborative.com Source: Published on Oct 3, 2023 by: CG Artist Andrew L Premium Member More Buildings from Saudi Arabia Facts: Up Up Architecture Office fx collaborative United States Category: CULTURAL Museum Project Type: Post Type: Building Country: Saudi Arabia Photographers: Architects: fx collaborative Area: 323,000m² Year: 2017 City: Riyadh Construction: Client Rayadah Investment Company Description: the architects Text description by The MOBE is one of six projects FXCollaborative is designing within the King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD), a new 55 million-square-foot mixed-use urban community.

HOTELS | Eco-lofts | Nestled in the arid, boulder-strewn terrain of the Valle de Guadalupe in Baja California, Mexico, the Hotel Encuentro Guadalupe is an "antiresort" that seeks to connect guests with the rugged landscape rather than separate them from it. Designed by Tijuana-based architect Jorge Gracia of Graciastudio, the hotel comprises 20 individual, elevated "eco-lofts" that appear to hover over the hillside, offering both privacy and panoramic views of the wine valley. The project was completed in 2011 and is part of a larger, 99-hectare development that includes a winery and a residential area. From its inception, the design philosophy prioritized environmental preservation. To minimize interference with the land, the individual rooms were constructed as steel-framed pods and elevated on stilts, avoiding direct contact with the soil and allowing the local flora and fauna to continue thriving underneath. This "deluxe camping" concept provides guests with modern comforts while maintaining an immersive connection to the natural surroundings. The exterior cladding of the eco-lofts is made of Corten steel, a material chosen for its rust-like appearance, which weathers over time to achieve a color palette that blends harmoniously with the desert environment. The hotel's design embraces minimalism and simplicity, both in its materials and its layout. The interiors are clean and sober, focusing the guest's attention on the dramatic views framed by large windows. Outside, cantilevered decks and strategically placed pools are integrated into the rocky landscape, providing spaces for relaxation and contemplation. The approach to construction was also influenced by local economic and material conditions, with Graciastudio leveraging prefabricated construction techniques and locally available materials to realize the project efficiently. For architect Jorge Gracia, the Hotel Encuentro Guadalupe reflects a commitment to sustainable, region-specific design that responds to the unique character of its location. The project has been recognized internationally for its innovative approach, which successfully balances high-end hospitality with ecological sensitivity.

RESIDENTIAL | House | A-Frame is a single-family private residence located on Lake Bomoseen in Vermont. The project site is on the western shore of the lake and adjacent to the vehicular bridge. The structure is designed for maximum views and ground access to the lake front. The main gable structure accentuates the eastern lake views with floor to ceiling glass and is bookended with an open deck that leads to the lake and boat dock. The secondary gable form provides views to the south from the first floor and upper roof deck. The project program is divided into two separate living spaces. The primary living space includes entry mudroom, powder room, utility, kitchen, dining, living, two-bedroom suite, primary bedroom suite, upper roof deck, and two car garage. The secondary living space includes a separate entry, living space, kitchen, dining and two bedroom suite with roof deck access. Conceptually, the project is inspired by the traditional mid-century A-frame, a residential building structure typology. The project consists of two perpendicular gables. The east/west ridge gable is informed by the eastern lake view and the perpendicular north/south gable cants westerly to capture the views down the lake to the south. The second-floor roof deck is defined by open roof trusses and slat-work that visually extends the a-frame structure.

HOSPITALITY | Yacht club | The yacht club is the symbolic centrepiece of Monaco’s remodelled harbour front. Celebrating the principality’s spectacular coastline and its nautical heritage, its series of deck-like terraces that step up along the harbour to offer unrivalled views out to races at sea, or inland over the course of the renowned Formula 1 Grand Prix circuit. The building is located on an area of reclaimed land, which extends the city’s existing marina eastwards and can accommodate a range of craft, from sailing boats to 100-metre super yachts. The club is entered via a glazed atrium that frames views out over the harbour to the palace. On the first floor are a clubroom, bar and restaurant. Above is a double-height function space, and above that an apartment for the club secretary and a series of ‘cabins’ for visiting guests. The uppermost floors accommodate a range of event spaces. The observation decks are shaded by retractable fabric screens supported by a mast and booms. The harbour elevations are fully glazed and shaded by louvres, and can be opened up to provide uninterrupted views. Photovoltaic cells, solar thermal panels and sea-water cooling systems have all been integrated to ensure the building sets new sustainability standards.  The scheme also introduces shops and other amenities at quay level to animate the harbour. The lower floors accommodate a rowing club and sailing school, whose sliding doors encourage activities to spread out on to the quayside. Designed largely for children, the school provides classrooms, workshops and lofts for small boats. Inland, there is a landscaped park on the roof of the sailing school and nautical society. Bounded on one side by the club’s restaurant terrace and leading on the other side to a new exhibition hall, it complements the sequence of green spaces in this densely populated city and forms a new link in the pedestrian route between the quayside and Casino Square. | https://static.wixstatic.com/media/9756fd_d31a056cd6284556957e02f8db29ee0b~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_2000,h_996,al_c,q_90/Yacht%20Club%20de%20Monaco%20(1).jfif 1/0 Private Public Pin Pin 0 x Appreciators 0 3D models Product 3.0K Views 0 Appreciated Appreciate Please login to appreciate Yacht Club de Monaco Quai Louis II, 98000 Monaco fosterandpartners.com Source: Published on Oct 1, 2023 by: Photographer Anna Salonen Premium Member More Buildings from Monaco Facts: Up Up Architecture Office Foster + Partners United Kingdom Category: HOSPITALITY Yacht club Project Type: Post Type: Building Country: Monaco Photographers: Architects: Foster + Partners Area: 9,000 m2 Year: 2014 City: Monaco Construction: Client Service Des Travaux Publics de Monaco Description: the architects Text description by The yacht club is the symbolic centrepiece of Monaco’s remodelled harbour front.

RESIDENTIAL | Modular House | The Gimme Shelter project is a distinctive and adaptable modular home designed by Swedish architect Emelie Holmberg for her own use in the pristine woodland on the island of Väddö, Sweden. The house, completed in 2021, served as a prototype for a new housing model and later led to the creation of the company gimme shelter solutions, founded by Holmberg in 2018. The design consists of two separate wooden modules: a larger, 32-square-meter living unit and a smaller, 10-square-meter sleeping unit. These units are linked by a sheltered outdoor space, allowing for a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor life. The project's aesthetic is influenced by traditional Swedish building methods, particularly the use of prefabricated parts to reduce cost, and by Japanese architecture, which emphasizes simplicity and a connection to nature. The modules feature wide verandas and large windows that frame panoramic views of the surrounding forest, further blurring the line between the built and natural environment. The gimme shelter solutions company builds upon this initial project by offering a "Lego-like" system of prefabricated modular homes. Customers can combine various modules of different sizes to create a personalized, unique home that suits their needs and budget. This scalable approach allows homeowners to start small and expand their living space over time if their circumstances change. Beyond the standard living units, the company also offers specialized modules such as yoga studios, workshops, and saunas, all designed with sustainability in mind.

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.

RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | Constructed in 2023, the Fritidsbolig, Slevik is a vacation home situated along a quiet residential street in the coastal village of Slevik, Norway. The project involved replacing a smaller, traditional 1950s cabin with a more functional, modern holiday home. Architect Eirik Rønning Andersen of ZIS AS designed the new cabin, drawing inspiration from the area's older architectural traditions. The design uses traditional building methods, featuring white-painted batten cladding and a roof pitch similar to historical buildings in the region. The roof eaves are minimal, giving the structure a clean, contemporary appearance. A key feature of the house is the strategic placement of windows to create visual connections, maximize views, and allow natural light to fill the interiors. This intentional use of light makes the interior feel expansive and spacious. Inside, the home is characterized by light-colored wood, creating a warm, airy atmosphere. In contrast, the kitchen features dark, lacquered benches and cabinets. The interior space is divided into different levels by a series of steps, with a raised living area situated above the bedrooms and bathroom. The main living space extends the full length of the cabin, stretching from gable to gable. The design also incorporates several custom-built details, including a site-specific staircase connecting the different levels and slatted wooden sections that add screening and depth.
