Nestled along the dramatic north shore of Bowen Island in BC, this contemporary cabin in the woods offers the basic pleasures of a contemporary home with deep connections to nature and a light environmental impact. Positioned lightly between the intimate flora and the ever-changing presence of ocean, mountains, and sky, this cabin offers a positive alternative to the prevailing trend of over-scaled homes.”

The Pierre by Olson Kundig Architects
Location: San Juan Island, Washington. Photography: Dwight Eschliman & Benjamin Benschneider. From the architects’ website: The owner’s affection for a stone outcropping on her property inspired the design of this house. Conceived as a retreat nestled into the rock, the Pierre (the French word for stone) celebrates the materiality of the site. From certain angles, the house—with its rough materials, encompassing stone, green roof, and surrounding foliage—almost disappears into nature. With the exception of a separate guest suite, the house functions on one main level, with an open-plan kitchen, dining, and living space. A wood-clad storage box (made with siding reclaimed from a Lionel Pries–designed house) transitions from outside to…

Seaview Avenue Residence, Barwon Heads, VIC, Australia by Jackson Clements Burrows Architects
Photography by Shannon McGrath. Date: 2011 Gross Floor Area: 310 sqm Consultant: BHS Consultants General Contractor: Morgan Home Builders From the architects’ website: The house sits on a street surrounded by an eclectic mix of post-war weatherboard homes and an increasing number of new architectural beachside residences. The brief called for a replacement of a deteriorated holiday shack with a beach retreat that would subsequently become a permanent dwelling. The house was to integrate with the existing fabric of the town, whilst acknowledging the changing streetscape due to property uplift. The design response therefore sought to reconcile an existing coastal lifestyle with the client’s needs in the later stages…

Tinhouse, Isle of Skye, Scotland by Rural Design
Photography by David Barbour. From the Architects: Tinhouse is located on the northwestern tip of the Isle of Skye, on a steeply sloping site overlooking The Minch, the body of water separating the Inner and Outer Hebrides. The project is an essay in landscape, economy, construction and imagination which shares the same design ethic as its neighbouring sister the Wooden House. Where, however, the Wooden House celebrates timber detailing the Tinhouse celebrates corrugated metal sheeting, commonly used on the agricultural buildings of the rural landscape. It does so in a thoroughly contemporary way by using mill finished corrugated aluminium as the external cladding for both roof and walls. Internally its…
