Holiday Cabin, Norway

A large, angular window cuts through the otherwise traditional form of this timber cabin in Norway, designed by local architecture studio Rever & Drage.

The building was designed for the owner of an adjacent 1930s cabin in the forested region of Nordmakka north of Oslo, who wanted to upgrade the facilities on the site without altering the existing structure.

Achioté, the standalone villa

Dagmar Štěpánová, founder of the Czech Republic- and Costa Rica-based studio Formafatal, completed the villas last year and served as the architect, project manager and construction manager, as well as a co-investor of the project.

"My intention was to design sustainable houses with biophilic interiors," said Štěpánová. "The architecture of villas is deliberate with its thin and sharp lines in contrast to lush tropical vegetation, but the chosen materials and colors coincide perfectly with the surroundings."

Austrian studio Juri Troy Architects has completed Straw Flea House, an angular cabin-in the historic village of Murstetten built using locally-sourced timber and straw.

Designed as a single-bedroom weekend home, the dwelling sits alongside a historic barn on a wooded site outside the village's centre, and is oriented to frame landmarks such as the nearby church through its large windows.

CTA uses screens and skylights to draw light into narrow Vietnamese home

Folding glass doors and perforated metal screens allow for the mediation of light, ventilation, and noise at the J House in Bien Hoa, Vietnam, designed by local studio CTA.

CTA, short for Creative Architects, was approached by a teacher who had purchased a narrow plot measuring four by 24 metres and wanted to create a bright, airy home to accommodate spaces for her gardening hobby.
