Peace is a rustic retreat located on a wooded and sloping terrain near the summit of Le Maelström Mountain in Lac-Beauport. Serving as both the starting and ending point for several hiking trails developed directly on the vast site, it is the ideal refuge for outdoor enthusiasts.

On a private inholding in the Wenatchee National Forest, this mountain-high, off-grid retreat is built to thrive in the abundant snowfall and extreme seasonal temperature swings. The cabin sits on an unwooded knoll to minimize impact on the existing site. Its design is pragmatic, durable, and energy efficient. Andrew Giammarco Accessible by only snowmobile or skis half the year, the ground level entry is equipped with ski racks, utility space, and a wood-burning stove for overall heat and aid in drying gear. At the top, a generous covered entry and hard-working foyer were designed with gear usage top of mind, giving plenty of space to transition out of skis, snowshoes, or hiking boots.

Merged into a wooded site to the outside of Morelia, Michoacán, this vacation home emerges from the idea to create a shelter that respectfully dialogues with its immediate context. Through this, the building emerges from the site and converts into a visual echo from the surroundings. The single-story dwelling takes advantage from the length and sloped topography from the site, sitting the house above the ground, giving the sensation that it floats in the middle of the trees. César Belio César Belio César Belio On front façade, the house closes from the exterior and presents to the user as a solid and latent platform that is integrated to the environment. This volume stands out by its flatne... More

    The project was initiated due to the popularity of summer river-trekking at Jinkeng Village, a chill-out place where people would love to find a comfortable lodge to stay overnight compared to a tent. Given the fact that the village is part of Liuyang (Hunan, China), a city world-renowned for its fireworks industry, the concept of fusing contemporary industrial materials with natural and rural surroundings began to take shape.

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. Zsuzsa Darab Hello Wood’s Jet House is a childhood fantasy come true. The cottage in the shape of a pastel blue airplane is tucked away in a ring of trees among the hills of Zala County, Hungary. It seems as if it had flown out of a cartoon and landed on the meadow with its friendly arcs and curves and round windows, and upon entering, a children's kingdom is revealed. Zsuzsa Darab The c...

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
