RESIDENTIAL | Modular House | The Mountain Refuge, a concept by Italian architects Massimo Gnocchi and Paolo Danesi, is a prefabricated and modular tiny home that reinterprets traditional mountain cabins with contemporary design and a focus on sustainability. The project aims to provide an affordable, minimalist dwelling that allows for a deep connection with nature. The standard design consists of two prefabricated plywood modules that can be configured in different ways. A core unit of 24 square meters can be expanded with an optional 12-square-meter add-on, increasing the total space to 37 square meters. The construction system, which does not require complex foundations, allows the cabins to be assembled efficiently, even in remote locations via helicopter. For example, a version was proposed in Andorra. The design is distinguished by its steeply sloping roof and a dramatic, floor-to-ceiling glazed wall, which maximizes natural light and provides expansive views of the surrounding landscape. The exterior is protected with black pine tar for waterproofing, giving it a dark, rustic appearance that blends with the wilderness. Inside, the pale plywood is left exposed, creating a warm, modern, and minimalist aesthetic. The project emphasizes self-sufficiency and includes features for off-grid living, such as photovoltaic panels for electricity and batteries for storage. A rainwater harvesting system collects water from the roof, further reinforcing the cabin's eco-friendly philosophy.

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.

MULTI-FUNCTIONAL | Shed | Created by New Zealand's Herbst Architects, the Utility Shed is a small but exquisitely detailed structure on Great Barrier Island. Designed for a family that uses the site as a summer retreat, the shed serves as a secure, functional space to be used and locked up while the main holiday house, or bach, is not in use. Located on a heavily treed lot with a stream leading to a sheltered beach, the shed is part of a larger, long-term plan for the property. Despite its small footprint of just 6 square meters plus a small deck, the shed is a testament to Herbst Architects' ability to work in harmony with the New Zealand landscape. Known for their sensitive, materially expressive, and context-aware designs, the architects approached this project with the same care as their larger, award-winning baches. The shed is designed to be as efficient and self-contained as a "Swiss army knife," ready to be unfolded and used. The design is autonomous and carefully positioned among the trees, with a boardwalk to protect the root systems. As is typical of Herbst's work on the off-grid Great Barrier Island, the shed minimizes its environmental impact.

Completed in 2022, Cabana Zero is the prototype for 11 shelters built to serve a spiritual retreat program inspired by the Indigenous traditions of the Peruvian Amazon. The architects approached the project with a strong emphasis on low-impact construction, ensuring a minimal disturbance to the forest both during the process and in the project's long-term environmental presence. Constructed on challenging terrain, Cabana Zero is a modular wooden structure elevated from the ground. This design choice minimizes the alteration of the topography and simplifies the overall construction system. Reusing materials from an old shed on the site, the project features treated pine walls and avoids electricity and hot water. It also incorporates a dry toilet system, reflecting its off-grid, low-impact philosophy. The cabins are designed to be temporary, eventually meant to revert to the forest, mirroring the impermanent human occupation of the natural landscape. The aesthetic reflects a duality in how the cabin relates to its occupants and the surrounding environment. The interior features natural pine, contrasting with the exterior's black-stained wooden verandas. This creates a deliberate abstraction that immerses occupants directly into nature. Large openings allow for ample natural light and ventilation, reinforcing the connection between the interior and the exterior. In addition to the cabin itself, the project includes the restoration of native vegetation around the site and the creation of trails that allow access to specific areas of the forest without causing damage.

RESIDENTIAL | House | The Hempcrete House is a compact, sustainable off-grid dwelling designed by Altereco Design and completed in 2023. Located in the alpine-adjacent town of Lyonville, Central Victoria, Australia, the house serves as a prototype for energy-efficient living using hempcrete, a carbon-negative material. The house embraces a "just enough" design philosophy with a small 75-square-meter footprint. This provides a functional and beautiful living space that emphasizes elegant simplicity. The main construction material consists of 300mm-thick walls of hempcrete (a mix of hemp hurd, lime, and water). The hempcrete provides excellent thermal insulation, resists fire, mold, and pests, and offers a natural, earthy texture. The home is oriented to the north to maximize solar gain during the cold winters. Wide eaves are used to shade the interior from the sun during the summer. Polished concrete floors and internal hempcrete walls absorb and release heat to help regulate the internal temperature. Natural ventilation: Operable clerestory windows create a "chimney effect" to naturally cool and ventilate the home in summer. The floor plan includes an airlock entry, bathroom, kitchen, and open-plan living/dining area on the ground floor. A mezzanine level accommodates the bedroom. Climate control: Despite experiencing sub-zero temperatures, the home can maintain a comfortable indoor temperature of 20°C (68°F) without using additional heating. Sustainability and performance The all-electric home is powered by a 5.2kW solar PV system located on an adjacent shed. A rainwater harvesting and filtration system collects water in large repurposed wine vats. The wastewater is treated with a biological worm farm system. The hemp used in construction sequesters carbon from the atmosphere during its growth. When combined with lime, the material continues to harden and sequester carbon throughout the building's lifespan. The project minimized waste through careful planning and by using reclaimed materials. Only two small trailer loads of waste went to a landfill. Reclaimed Messmate timber was used for the upstairs flooring, shelving, kitchen cupboards, and other trim.

SHELTERS | Hut | The On Mountain Hut was a sustainable, zero-impact retreat designed by Thilo Alex Brunner, head of design at Swiss running brand On. Completed in 2019, the temporary, 204-square-foot modular cabin was built on the remote Piz Lunghin mountain in the Swiss Alps, an area at over 2,500 meters of elevation. The project was created to celebrate the company's origins and to mark the launch of its first hiking shoe. It was only accessible by foot, and after its limited run, it was disassembled to leave no trace on the pristine alpine landscape The hut's design emphasized minimalism and reduction. The exterior was clad in a reflective metal that helped it blend into its natural, mountainous surroundings. Inside, the cabin was lined almost entirely with warm, inviting plywood, used for the floors, walls, and built-in tables. A wood-burning stove provided warmth, creating a cozy atmosphere. The cabin featured a series of platforms that led guests from the entrance to a large glass viewpoint overlooking the valley. A lofted mezzanine with a bed offered a unique and elevated vantage point for taking in the stunning views. The off-grid structure was powered by solar panels and a rainwater collection system.

RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | The Etno Hut is a 14-square-meter tiny house designed by architect Ema Butrimaviciute of the Vilnius-based firm Utopium. Completed in 2018, the hut was conceived as a rentable retreat to provide an escape from city life, offering a comfortable and uncomplicated experience in a small space. It is situated on a wild 50-acre property in Pakalniškės, Lithuania, on a slope that backs onto a dense, old-growth forest while opening up to sweeping views of the landscape. The hut's dark exterior allows it to blend subtly with its woodland surroundings, while a large south-facing window brings warmth and natural scenery inside. A guiding principle for the project was minimizing its environmental impact. The hut was built on a steel foundation that was screwed into the ground by hand, and the entire structure, made from Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs), was prefabricated and assembled on-site in just three days. The space beneath the hut is used for storage, with piping and cables concealed for a clean look. Inside, the layout was designed for comfort and practicality, avoiding the need for complex, transformative furniture often found in tiny homes. The 14-square-meter space includes a fully equipped kitchenette, a king-size bed (with an extra pull-out bed), and a bathroom with a spacious shower. A wood-burning stove adds warmth and coziness. An outdoor deck extends the living space, creating a strong connection between the hut and the natural environment.

RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | Designed by Oslo-based Vardehaugen Architects and led by Håkon Matre Aasarød, Cabin Vindheim is a 55-square-meter retreat in the alpine landscape near Lillehammer, Norway, and was completed in 2016 for a private client. The cabin draws inspiration from the classic image of snowbound cabins, where only the roof protrudes through the snow, and blends into its surroundings with deep gables that extend to the ground. The structure's angular shape and black-stained pinewood cladding contrast with the dramatic white winter landscape. The interior, which is spacious despite its compact size, is clad in a waxed poplar veneer, with uplifts in the sloped ceiling creating a rich spatial experience. An uninterrupted ceiling connects the living room, bedroom, ski room, and a small utility annex. A large, 4-meter-long window in the bedroom offers views of the treetops and night sky, enhancing the feeling of sleeping within nature. The off-grid cabin relies on solar power and a wood oven for energy. A unique and playful feature is the cabin's roof, which doubles as a ski slope or toboggan run during the snowy winters.

RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL | Mixed-Use | Located to the east of the River Garonne in Bordeaux, across from the city’s UNESCO World Heritage historic centre, Ilot Queyries, a courtyard apartment building providing 308 homes – including 163 for social housing – parking, commercial space, and a rooftop restaurant in an intimate urban setting with plenty of light, air, and a large collective green space. The project is envisaged as a test-bed for the principles of the neighbouring Bastide-Niel masterplan, also designed by MVRDV, which aims to combine the virtues of Bordeaux’s UNESCO World Heritage historic city – intimacy, surprise, and liveliness – with the density, ecology, light, and comfort of the modern city. Ilot Queyries thus adopts the same approach as the Bastide-Niel masterplan: the building fills the site to its boundaries, lending an intimate feeling to the streetscape, while the roofs are arranged into carefully calibrated slopes to provide maximum ventilation, daylight, and sun to the building itself and to its neighbours. The result, designed in partnership with local architects Flint, is a large, irregularly shaped courtyard building almost 200 metres long. At 5,200m2, the large courtyard provides a park-like space for the residents; located one storey above ground level, it also hides the residents’ parking below. The building responds to its surroundings on all sides: on the south-eastern end of the building, sections as low as one storey relate to the low-rise neighbours, while on the north-east, facing the river, it rises as high as nine storeys. At this high point, a glass crown houses a restaurant with views of the river and the historic centre of Bordeaux beyond.

RESIDENTIAL | House | Completed in 2022 in Oaxaca, Mexico, the Plúmula Workshop House is a 70-square-meter project by Espacio 18 Arquitectura that breathes new life into a dilapidated residence to create a functional and poetic live-work space for an artist. The project's name, Plúmula, which refers to the embryonic shoot of a plant, reflects the design's focus on new growth and revitalization. A central aspect of the design is the preservation of pre-existing adobe walls, honoring the building's history, while a lightweight steel framework is integrated to reinforce the structure and expand the space. The house was commissioned by Amy García Kennedy, a plastic artist who works abroad and wanted a retreat in her home country. At the heart of the design is a magnificent Flamboyán tree, which the architects made the focal point of the property, with key views from the workshop, meeting space, and bedroom all centered on its contemplation. The layout was designed for practicality and warmth, utilizing a sensitive monochrome palette that visually enlarges the interiors. This is achieved through the use of budget-friendly, locally sourced materials such as steel, adobe, pine wood, and red brick. These materials also create a dialogue between the old and new, and their familiarity to local craftsmen facilitated the construction process. The project employs several sustainable strategies. The existing adobe walls offer natural thermal mass, keeping the home cool during the hot Oaxacan summers and warm in the winters. The house also incorporates a solar water heater and a rainwater harvesting system with filters, while LED lighting was chosen for energy efficiency. Tall sliding windows blur the boundaries between the indoors and the surrounding lush environment, inviting natural light and ventilation and reinforcing the visual connection to the Flamboyán tree. Plúmula Workshop House is a project that responds thoughtfully to its context, integrating into the local neighborhood while offering a tranquil and inspiring sanctuary for its inhabitant.

SPORTS & RECREATION | Arena | The design of the new SCA Arena Sports and Concert Complex follows the tradition of Russian constructivism. Russian artists such as Tatlin and El Lissitzky inspired architects worldwide and redefined the level of artistic aspiration in architecture. The design of the new SCA Arena in St. Petersburg follows the tradition of the unique era of constructivism, where everything was possible, and applies its expressive, open design language to a contemporary context: the filigree framework of its construction, based on Tatlin’s ​“Monument to the Third International”, refers to the flowing, dynamic movement of a person skating around the stadium. Without changing the planning of the existing Arena, a second, structural layer is created, which serves as a supporting structure for the overlying, dynamically cantilevered roof. This filigree construction is only interrupted by arches at those points where the stairs to the ring-shaped plinth are placed. This creates a covered arcade that is protected from sun, rain and wind, and can also be used to shelter shops and lounge zones. The roof of the building is shaped like a flattened dome, and is equipped with LED lights that will be visible from afar. This transforms the building into a vibrant heart, at the center of the newly created park complex for the people of St. Petersburg, usable around the clock. The structural design of the new SCA Arena consists of 4 main parts: pre-existing stadium design, plinth base, structural ring and roof structure. Stadium Building The existing stadium consists mainly of elements built in reinforced concrete. Columns and walls transfer the main vertical loads to the ground. Concrete cores and wall elements brace the building horizontally, transferring the main horizontal loads towards the ground. The structure of the plinth base is a reinforced concrete column, wall, and beam construction, supporting a lightweight concrete slab. Foundation The foundation of the building is designed as a raft foundation with a minimum thickness of 1m, with local thickening in areas below the columns. In areas of large concentration of loads (such as the structural ring segments), the thickness of the raft foundation increases. Bored piles transfer the loads from the foundation plate to the load-bearing ground. Structural Ring A structural ring serves as additional support for the roof structure. Its geometry is differentiated into four segments that work within the global structural system, and four segments that support only themselves and allow for large entrance openings. The steel structures of the ring also provide horizontal bracing in its surface direction. Furthermore, they rest on the plinth base, which is mainly designed as a reinforced concrete structure. Roof Structure The structure of the roof is developed hand-in-hand with the preexisting stadium design. The beam layout respects and adapts to the preexisting structural axis around the stadium bowl. Truss directions are aligned with the main cantilevering directions, which creates a more efficient force flow towards the most cantilevering parts of the roof. The spatial truss structure is further subdivided into mega-trusses and secondary beams, which allow for a shortened span distance of the roof-skin construction. The top and bottom girders are designed as simply shaped cross-sections, allowing pure standard details for all joints. | https://static.wixstatic.com/media/9756fd_86a7a9e7371f40d49f10466d5e1ba05b~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1800,h_1013,al_c,q_85/SCA%20Arena%20(1).jpg Please Wait SCA Arena (1).jpg SCA Arena (2).jpg SCA Arena (3).jpg 1/3 0 Product 4.9K Views 0 0 Pin Pin Private Public x Appreciators Appreciated Appreciate Please Log in SCA Arena St Petersburg, Russia Architects: Coop Himmelb(l)au Coop Himmelb(l)au Architecture Office Austria Area: Year: City: Client: 14 700 m² 2020 St. Petersburg LLC GORKA Construction: Category: SPORTS & RECREATION Project Type: Arena Post Type: Building Country: Russia Photographers: the architects Description: The design of the new SCA Arena Sports and Concert Complex follows the tradition of Russian constructivism.
