RESIDENTIAL | Conversion | The Angled Dwelling Unit (ADU) is a 500-square-foot home in St. Helena, California, designed by architects Maddie and Ryan Chandler of Chandler Workshop Architects for their own family. The project involved converting a 1950s garage and washroom, originally built in a walnut orchard, into a highly space-efficient residence. The design is a study in creative reuse and practical resourcefulness, featuring reclaimed and recycled materials that add character and a unique history to the small house. The house is distinguished by its angular geometry and facade of rusty metal, which reflects the industrial feel of its repurposed materials. Elements throughout the home have a past life, such as the rain screen made from vineyard stakes sourced from a friend's property and rollers for a kitchen storage space repurposed from skateboard wheels found at an estate sale. Inside, the design maximizes every inch of the small space, with an emphasis on functionality and light. The foundation was recycled from old planter boxes, and the building incorporates unexpected materials throughout. The extensive remodel includes a home office, a compact kitchen, a bathroom, and a sleeping loft, creating a comfortable and practical home within the limited footprint of the original garage.

RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | Nestled in a pine forest on a secluded lake an hour's drive from Helsinki, Villa Rauhanniemi is the minimalist vacation home of interior architect Joanna Laajisto and her family. Completed in 2020, the 90-square-meter cabin was thoughtfully designed to minimize its impact on the natural environment and to foster a deep connection with the surrounding wild forest and water. The structure of Villa Rauhanniemi, a wood and glass building, is elevated on a platform that both provides stability and serves as a wraparound balcony, allowing the family to live as much outdoors as possible. To construct the home with minimal disruption to the forest, large machinery was not permitted on-site, and materials had to be carried in by hand. The trees removed during construction were repurposed to create the outdoor benches. Large panoramic windows were incorporated to blur the line between interior and exterior, framing spectacular views of the lake and ensuring that each room feels spacious despite the home's compact size. Reflecting Laajisto's Scandinavian design philosophy of not cluttering the world with unnecessary things, the interior is crafted from a warm, natural material palette that includes Douglas fir, light pine, and oak. Wide oak floorboards provide a sense of refined rusticity, while grey marble countertops and a fireplace in the living area add warmth and sophistication. The kitchen was intentionally kept simple and stripped back to maintain the character of a cabin rather than a residential home. In a nod to a classic Finnish feature, the house includes a sauna, which, along with the bathroom, is adorned with deep red tiles in a herringbone pattern. Villa Rauhanniemi was also conceived with sustainability in mind. Laajisto and her family own the adjacent plot of land, which they maintain as a wild forest and a carbon sink to balance the home's footprint.

RESIDENTIAL | House | The Alex Guesthouse is a sculptural and cinematic retreat designed by the Ghent-based firm Atelier Vens Vanbelle for a client in the film industry. Located in the idyllic Uitbergen region of East Flanders, Belgium, the project was created with a single directive: to build something that his guests would remember forever. The guesthouse was completed in 2020. The design is a sequence of unfolding experiences that take guests on a journey from the familiar to the surreal. Guests enter the main house, walk through a garden and bicycle shed, and descend a staircase into a long, disorienting, and dark underground corridor. The journey culminates in the guesthouse itself, which is reached via a spiral staircase that rises from the basement. From the exterior, the guesthouse appears as an abstract, Corten steel-clad tower, sometimes likened to a lighthouse or a submarine. The facade is designed to weather naturally and blend with the surrounding landscape of trees, a nearby castle, and the river Schelde. The spiral staircase continues past the guesthouse to a unique watchtower. A glass dome at the tip of the tower floods the staircase with light, and the highest level features an outdoor shower that offers a unique connection to the surrounding nature. The guesthouse was designed as a single, large piece of furniture and constructed layer by layer from laminated veneer lumber (LVL) in an off-site studio. It was then transported to the location in four sections and rebuilt on-site. Interior and layout The guesthouse and its subterranean extension offer a variety of intimate and atmospheric spaces. The "wooden cave": The guest area, located on the first floor, is a serene space crafted entirely from layered LVL wood, creating a "wooden cave" or "grotto" effect. The wood forms the floors, walls, ceilings, and even the custom furniture, including a bed base and bookcase. Framed views: Two large, circular windows puncture the wooden interior, framing specific views of the garden and the neighboring castle. Underground cinema and bar: The underground level contains a dark and moody cinema and a small bar, providing a private space for entertaining and screen previews. Terrace: A small, private terrace is located on the slope outside the entrance, offering guests a place to enjoy the evening sun.

RESIDENTIAL | House | A small, repurposed urban dwelling in Phoenix, Arizona, the Silo House was designed and built by architect Christoph Kaiser of Kaiserworks. Originally a 1955 grain silo, the 340-square-foot structure was transformed into a tiny home in the city's Garfield Historic District. The project showcases a creative and sustainable approach to urban living, demonstrating that compact, repurposed architecture can be a joyful and soulful experience. The silo's interior is arranged in an open, two-story floor plan. The first floor features the kitchen, living, and dining areas, while the bedroom is located on the second. To maximize usability and create an illusion of greater volume, the house was cleverly designed with space-saving custom furniture and concealed cabinetry. A nine-foot-wide sliding door connects the interior to a desert garden, which includes 16 mesquite trees and a water feature, creating a sense of being in a rural idyll despite the urban location. The Silo House is designed for efficiency and energy conservation. The corrugated steel exterior is heavily insulated with 10 inches of spray foam, making it energy efficient. A motorized, retractable skylight, which once aerated grain, helps naturally cool the home's interior and fill it with natural light. The interior finishes, including scrap walnut plank flooring, create a warm contrast with the black steel elements of the structure. The successful conversion of the silo led Kaiserworks to develop plans for a prefabricated silo kit house, aiming to make this unique and sustainable form of living more accessible.

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 | Summer House | The Kuku-Ranna Summer House, designed by Arhitektuuribüroo Eek & Mutso, is an award-winning residential project in the village of Vääna-Jõesuu, Estonia. Located approximately 35 km from Tallinn and 150 meters from the sea, the house features a minimalist A-frame structure with kinetic elements that open it to its natural surroundings during the summer months. Completed in 2020, the project was commissioned as a seasonal retreat, which influenced its unique "closed" and "open" personalities. The house is designed to blend seamlessly into the forest landscape, resembling a tepee or a traditional farmhouse, but with a modern twist. When not in use, it is a discreet, unnoticeable structure with its striking black exterior made of yakisugi—burnt wood—cladding. When the residents arrive, the house transforms dramatically: Kinetic shutters: Large shutters on the main facade rise like wings to reveal a large glass wall, while a rear shutter opens to a small workshop. The dark, protective exterior contrasts with the light, minimalist interior, which is visible once the house is open. The A-frame structure cleverly maximizes its 80 square meters of net area. The interior features a ground-floor living space that extends onto a terrace, a compact sauna and bedroom tucked into the lower eaves, and a master suite on the upper level. The light-colored interior features a blend of modern furniture and repurposed vintage items, such as an oval window salvaged from a Tallinn Art Nouveau villa. A double bass is also repurposed as a shelf. Gaps in the floorboards upstairs allow warm air to rise and light to filter through, contributing to the feeling of airiness. The house rests on a concrete slab and features a timber frame. Steel elements were used to ensure the rigidity of the moving shutters. Awards and recognition 2021 Estonian Architecture Awards (ERAMU prize): Winner for a private house. 2021 Estonian Association of Interior Architects: Nominee for the annual award.

SHELTERS | Cabin | In 2015, Amsterdam-based CC-Studio unveiled "Thoreau's Cabin," a discreet off-grid shelter nestled within the expansive 5,900-acre Noorderpark in Utrecht, Netherlands. Conceived as a warm and dry retreat for the volunteers who maintain the park, the 35-square-meter cabin was designed to harmonize with its natural surroundings, rather than dominate them. The cabin's design cleverly employs a strategy of camouflage, making its presence barely perceptible until one is close to it. The volume is shaped and the exterior is clad in a green aluminum envelope to allow it to be concealed by the forest's lush foliage. Two large sliding doors on one corner can be fully opened, seamlessly blending the interior with the surrounding meadow where sheep graze. This allows occupants to control their level of exposure to the outdoors. A sculptural hearth at the cabin's center supports a folding aluminum-clad roof structure, creating an open canopy that extends the protected space outwards. The cabin was built without requiring a permit because it replaced a pre-existing 1966 cottage of a similar size and function, which had served as a break and storage shelter for park maintenance. The new design, however, features thoughtful updates and sustainable touches. The cabin was intentionally designed without electricity or running water, reinforcing Thoreau's ideals of simplicity and self-sufficiency. A sculptural hearth functions as the central element, providing heat from local firewood. It serves as a combined kitchen and fireplace. The interior includes a washroom with a washbasin, a small storage area, and a larger general space centered around the stove. Wooden panels line the interior walls, providing a sense of warmth and natural elegance that contrasts with the minimalist metal exterior.

RESIDENTIAL | Cabin | Chajá House is a refuge in the Maldonado department of Uruguay, designed by the TATÚ Arquitectura studio and completed in 2020. The project transformed an old, abandoned agricultural shed, formerly used to store fodder and tools, into a secondary residence for a client who lives in France. The intervention was conceived to preserve the rural identity and the original structure of the building, without modifying its main volume. The architecture is characterized by its focus on reuse and integration with the natural environment. The design consisted of wrapping the existing masonry structure with a new, permeable wooden skin. This outer membrane not only conceals the new functional programs but also creates interstitial spaces that expand the use of the home. The project seeks to pay homage to the humble typology of the Uruguayan countryside while transforming it into a poetic architectural gesture. The interior is a diaphanous volume with an open plan, defined by a furniture wall that integrates the kitchen, pantry, and a desk. Above the dining area, a loft houses the bed and wardrobes. The bathroom and service areas remain in an external volume, honoring the rural traditions of Uruguay. Large windows capture views of the landscape, while subtle natural light enters through narrow slits in the wooden membrane, accentuating texture and depth.

The project transformed an old, abandoned agricultural shed, formerly used to store fodder and tools, into a secondary residence for a client who lives in France. The intervention was conceived to preserve the rural identity and the original structure of the building, without modifying its main volume. The architecture is characterized by its focus on reuse and integration with the natural environment. The design consisted of wrapping the existing masonry structure with a new, permeable wooden skin. This outer membrane not only conceals the new functional programs but also creates interstitial spaces that expand the use of the home. The project seeks to pay homage to the humble typology of the Uruguayan countryside while transforming it into a poetic architectural gesture. The interior is a diaphanous volume with an open plan, defined by a furniture wall that integrates the kitchen, pantry, and a desk. Above the dining area, a loft houses the bed and wardrobes. The bathroom and service areas remain in an external volume, honoring the rural traditions of Uruguay. Large windows capture views of the landscape, while subtle natural light enters through narrow slits in the wooden membrane, accentuating texture and depth.

Designed by Marc Thorpe Design + Architecture and completed around 2023, the cabin was built as an affordable, sustainable, and contemporary home with integrated technology. The project is based on a philosophy of self-reliance, with the house designed to exist in harmony with nature and emphasize quality over quantity. The house features a compact footprint but incorporates a traditional residential layout, with a division between public and private spaces. The ground floor contains the kitchen, dining, and living areas, while two bedrooms and a bathroom are located on the upper level. The exterior is clad in Douglas fir stained in a charcoal grey color, which aids in heat retention during the region's cool year-round climate. The house was constructed using locally sourced lumber. A rooftop array of 16 solar panels provides all the home's electricity, contributing to its self-sustaining, independent nature. Large windows and a terrace on the upper level help connect the interior with the surrounding forest. Inside, the home has a minimalist aesthetic, with oak flooring, sheetrock walls, and quartz countertops. The furnishings and decor, chosen by Marc Thorpe and his wife, Claire Pijoulat, are simple yet stylish, avoiding distraction from the natural views. The Fremont House stands as a symbol of sustainable architecture and a testament to respectful, ecologically conscious design.

RESIDENTIAL | House | The Black Timber House, designed by HAPA Architects, is a contemporary eco-home located on the edge of the village of Rodmell, within the South Downs National Park in East Sussex, England. Completed in 2022, the award-winning residence is situated in a bucolic context, replacing a mid-century bungalow that had a less harmonious relationship with the landscape. The design is a sensitive and modern response to its setting, nestled among ash trees and fields, with its dark timber exterior allowing it to recede softly into the scenery. The house was conceived with a strong focus on sustainability, with the goal of creating a home that respects its surroundings and has minimal energy consumption. HAPA Architects employed a range of passive and active strategies to achieve this. Key features include an A-rated Energy Performance Certificate (EPC), high levels of insulation and air tightness, and a passive solar design. The house also generates its own power via photovoltaic (PV) panels on the roof and uses a high-efficiency air source heat pump for low-temperature underfloor heating. A mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (MVHR) system ensures a constant supply of fresh air, contributing to a stable and calm internal atmosphere regardless of external weather conditions. The architectural design features two distinct stacked forms, which create interesting overhangs and roof spaces. The lower level is built on a concrete plinth, while the upper, private bedroom spaces are housed within a simple gabled form that reaches up into the canopies of the trees. The transition from horizontal timber cladding on the lower level to vertical timber on the upper level accentuates this distinction. A covered entrance and a raised, open veranda connect the house to the rear garden and fields. Inside, the vaulted ceilings of the bedrooms create impressive double-height spaces, and a wrap-over window adds dramatic natural light. The interior continues the minimalist and elegant aesthetic with natural materials. The kitchen features bespoke cabinetry crafted from cross-sawn, smoked, and white-oiled engineered oak planks, a material that also serves as the timber flooring. This provides a rustic yet refined texture that complements the home's contemporary feel. A natural patinaed zinc worktop works beautifully with the other natural finishes.
