Void in the Forest is a minimal building located in Tokyo, Japan, designed by Yoshitaka Uchino & YDS Architects. The main objective was to take in the beautiful greenery around the site, especially due to the building’s proximity to Shakujii Park, which is a famous park in Tokyo. As such, the architects created natural havens throughout the building the form of interior courtyards, and large openings overlooking the park.

A tradition of weekend hiking trips served as the premise for Jeff and Millie Baird’s off-the-grid retreat in California’s Sonoma County. Affectionately named Camp Baird, the home is located on a 165-acre parcel near a campsite the couple and their two young daughters had visited for years. Architect Malcolm Davis worked with contractors Fairweather & Associates on the new build; landscape architect Cary Bush of Merge Studio incorporated drought-resistant nativeplantings into the property.
A young family resides in the five-bedroom house: Stephen, who works in advertising, Anita, a lawyer who works in financial services, two young children, and two basset hounds. The open-plan ground level is meant to be flexible, and its layout can be adapted as the family's needs change over time. Floor-to-ceiling windows overlook the river that runs right by the structure.
