Techo-Bloc’s Aquastorm pavers are designed to allow grass to grow between them, creating a unique play between the softness of grass and the functionality of concrete. They’re also anti-flood and permeable, making them as functional as they are beautiful.

Designed by Atelier Lina Bellovicova, House LO marks the first residential project in the Czech Republic to use hempcrete, a sustainable and fire-and-mold-resistant material.

Customers are free to customize their prefab, as long as it fits within the company's structural grid.

Built for a scholar, Casa Biblioteca is a sanctuary for reading, stargazing, and enjoying a cigar or two. Floor-to-ceiling glass allows light to freely flood the interior and illuminate its jewel-like structure.

To ensure structural integrity, the architects designed the home’s living spaces to be perpendicular to the sloping topography, and the roofline to be in harmony with the ground level, canopy, and horizon.

The homeowner inherited the 1.36 acres over 40 years ago and finally saved enough to hire Matteo Arnone and Pep Pons of Atelier Branco Arquitectura, who came recommended by a family friend. The initial project was slated to be a modest, 540-square-foot space to house his books to be built for $50,000—but through the client’s involvement, the scope expanded.

Light penetrates the concrete bathroom via a skylight.

A Seattle couple built their own backyard house with a city-sponsored design—and then rented out their old home on the property to friends.

Thanks to Kabina’s clever system of interlocking joints, all you need is a rubber hammer to assemble it.

A dramatic two-story window offers views of the nearby beach from the lofted upper level. “We carefully worked out the framing of the windows because we were particular about what we wanted to see,” says Olivier. “The views informed the lines of the house.”

The imposing entrance of the house combines elements of traditional Balinese materials like local Kerobokan stone with international influences such as Shou Sugi Ban Bankiari cladding.

No trees were felled in the making of Junipero House. Instead, the brilliant green of the luscious river jungle softly embraces the home from all sides.

Junipero House is both open to the elements and protected from their unfiltered impacts. All rooms are bestowed with their own private terrace and garden views or access.

The structure’s “undulating belly” is exposed above the cave-like pool pavilion. The floors and outdoor paving feature locally sourced Eramosa limestone, a rock unique to Owen Sound.
