Hutch Cabin is a prototype, off-grid dwelling, nestled in a valley near the rural village of Wollombi. Conceived during the global pandemic, it was designed to satisfy an increasing urban desire for rest, adventure, and wellbeing. Indeed, it marries the stripped-back nature-immersion of camping with the comforts and luxury of a boutique hotel experience.
Surrounded by rocky outcrops, lush treelines, and broad views of Georgian Bay, Green Cabin rests on Robert’s Island—accessible only by boat. Consequently, the approach to the site begins at the dock, ascending over rugged terrain toward an existing cottage that stands slightly elevated.
Nestled in a dense neighborhood of Riga, MW Family House by Space In spans 240 m² (about 2,600 ft²), turning a small and oddly shaped 600 m² (approximately 7,000 ft²) plot into a deliberate, cozy realm. It shelters a couple, three children, and their dog—along with countless passions—all under one roof.
Meet Vila Romana Triplex, a 250 m² apartment that weaves together its owners’ passion for design, art, games, and a playful sense of wonder. Even though it sits in an older São Paulo building—demanding major structural adaptations—the final result feels remarkably unconfined.
Nature-Focused Residence by Ming Architects sits on a deep plot, with the building footprint deliberately set back to create an expansive ground floor. This layout allows for easy indoor-outdoor entertaining, especially when family and friends gather. As soon as you arrive, you walk through a covered barbecue terrace into a striking double-height living area.
Pascal House stands in front of breathtaking preserve lands near the Colorado River. However, when the homeowners first saw this traditional property in 2020, they quickly noticed several challenges. A bulky circular stair blocked the main entry, and the family room’s narrow openings failed to highlight the river views.
Located at 436 Indiana Street in the historic Pinkney neighborhood of Lawrence, Kansas, Indiana Street Passive House offers a prime example of modern, high-performance construction. Designed and built entirely by Studio 804’s graduate students at the University of Kansas, this residence embraces a hands-on approach to architecture.
Hudson Highlands House sits on the banks of the Hudson River, offering spectacular panoramic views. Jeff Jordan Architects worked closely with the homeowner—who has a background in architecture and design—to shape a vision that balances simplicity with dynamic spatial experiences.
