Love how this Alaskan house responds with elegance and sensitivity to its environment - from the limited building footprint (the house is cantilevered from a small basement), the balance of large and small spaces for heat control, the careful capture of year-round sunlight, as well as solar-panels for heating / water and the robustness of the metal exterior to deal with the harsh winter climate combined with a soft, tactile interior - a nest for the family.

A beautiful hillside house on the Chilean coast, constructed entirely from local timber with 3 sides almost solid for shading from sun & wind, whilst the other side is glazed to capture natural light and amazing views over the surrounding beach and wetlands. Clearly a labour of love - the interior, even the kitchen and furniture, is built in timber to create a seamless natural look.

Love the use of a simple material like plywood in the interior of this ‘cabin’ located on a flood plain in Washington State and the hand-cranked sliding steel shutters which close up the exterior when it’s not in use.. View high resolution
