In Patagonia, Aysén, on a narrow rural terrain of 200 x 30 meters, located on Lake Pollux southeast of Coyhaique City, the Pollux Refuge is located, designed for family and recreational rest; on holidays, weekends and fishing seasons, which is one of the main activities of the place, due to the presence of salmonid species such as “Rainbow Trout”.

The Find Sanctuary prototype cabin sits high atop a hill in the picturesque landscape of Southern California, nestled among the clouds. This cabin is a dream born from the client's fascination with the Scandinavian design aesthetic of clean lines, natural materials, and a soothing neutral palette.

We had a difficult task - to assemble a large luxury single-family house from the modules produced at the factory.But first, it is important to say what the word "Modular" means to us. This is a house consisting of volumetric modules, in which all the interior decoration, electrics, plumbing, and possibly even furniture are made at the factory. Such a house is assembled in the production, delivered by trucks and installed with a crane in one day on the lot. Another 1-2 weeks are required for the final exterior finish. We have already done projects from 16 to 110 square meters, but this is the first time we have designed such a large serial modular house. Sergey Nastavnik In the project, we combined the environmental friendliness of a... More

Based on the ideas of its client, Hello Wood, a Budapest-based architecture firm, well known for the unique Rocks resort, its lovable buildings, and cabins - including the minimalist Kabinka, the ‘extraterrestrial’ Pebble pod, or the elevated Wauhaus - has now designed and built its most charming and eccentric small house ever.

Located near Pedra do Baú, the main tourist spot in the municipality of São Bento do Sapucaí, the chalet SBS was designed to function as a guesthouse. The house located on a top of a mountain, near the border between the state of São Paulo and Minas Gerais, with a wide view of the region. The construction was conceived as two volumes of equal dimensions that support a unique light roof, and which are crossed - and joined - by a balcony that extends towards the slope and the astonishing view, forming a viewpoint that extends to the horizon. One of the volumes houses a living room and kitchen, in addition to a laundry/technical area, which is accessed by a deck located at the back of the building. Alberto Ricci... More

Y cabin is located in the Vikerfjell mountain range in Ringerike, Norway. Extending slightly out over a small crag, it peeks out between the pine trees and gazes upon a northern forest landscape. The building volume branches out in three directions from a central pivot point, where six differently angled cross laminated timber slats meet. This creates a complex roof geometry which allows for an open and flexible space, eliminating the need for beams and columns. Nadia Norskott Kyrre Sundal The plan is zoned into the three branches. One of which contains the bedrooms, clad in ocher-colored valchromat, while the two remaining branches are split between the dining room and a living room / kitchen space. The fireplace, centered where... More

The «Kashtan» DublDom home, as it’s called, so impressed the audience that many started dreaming about their serene residence surrounded by the forest.  Eventhough nature offers you a peaceful environment, it also poses a challenge for your dwelling. While planning this elevated home, we considered how the trees will affect the property and home experience.  Our goal was to provide a home to harmonize with its surroundings. Caption Typically, our firm prefers one storey houses, but in this project, we decided to explore. We still believe that on small plots and for year-round living, a one-story house is more convenient.  When you're surrounded by a tall forest, this provides another solution for creat... More
