House With Gable Sectional Drawings

In summer, the living area is surrounded by grass that covers the terrain. Yet, once winter comes, this same area appears to be nestled within a blanket of snow.

The different levels act as a topographic map to guide one through the common areas.

A basic material of pale timber walls, polished concrete floors, and large expanses of glass work together to create a calm, light aesthetic.

From the kitchen and dining area, you can see the double-height void above the spaces.

The black roof balances upon its rectangular base of light pinewood, creating a dramatic contrast between dark and light.

Though built on a small budget, the team has crafted the home to be ecologically sound.

The massive windows that frame tranquil alpine views have been made from dual-lacquered laminated glass.

A staircase connects the dining area and kitchen on the ground floor to the bedroom on the upper level.

Generous balconies reach back into the surrounding forest at every level.

This remote cabin in Sullivan County hovers above a steep slope, suspended by the trees that surround it.

Located in Germany’s Upper Bavarian Inn Valley this holiday home by architects Christine Arnhard and Markus Eck is only 3.3 foot wide. Half-offset, interconnected stacked rooms are spread over the interior volume, and doors to the property’s two floating terraces can be opened to connect the interiors with the outdoors.

The 377-square-foot cabin consists of a main room, which feels spacious with exposed wood beams to add volume to the small space. One side of the cabin houses a narrow bathroom, while the other side includes a covered porch. The main living room opens up to a wood deck that wraps around the structure to take advantage of the picturesque lake views.

Using local storm-felled timber and working within a budget of around $30,000, the London-based architecture firm De Rosee Sa created their self-built Woodland Cabin on a lake in the southern Belgium village of Nouvelles.
