Hello Wood is currently working on a larger iteration of their prefab: the Big Pebble. “It will provide enough space for extra functions, such as a bathing and sleeping,” Kristóf tells us. “It is basically designed to be a weekend cabin.”

In addition to the 175-square-foot deck, Blend Projects also offers to build amenities like outdoor showers, saunas, and ADUs.

Each of MyCabin's offerings were designed to work in concert and form a complete residential set, where My Milla (25 or long) houses daily living, My Kalmus provides a dedicated work space, and My Galia adds a bit of wellful luxury.

Buhaus floor plan

When the Murphy bed is stowed away, a small section of the wall can be lowered to create a small table. Note the fire-resistant metal panels that can be lifted up to serve as shade elements for an outdoor living area; when pulled down, the panels can be secured for privacy and during inclement weather.

Every Buhaus unit comes with a custom Murphy bed with integrated storage on all sides to maximize space. “We look at our unit as if someone was staying in a very cool hotel room,” says Burdge. “It has everything they could need: a bed, sitting area, closet, mini bar, bathroom, and an incredible outdoor shower experience.”

A custom daybed that runs along one side of the A-frame living area seems tailor-made for reading. Its red color recurs often in Radic’s body of work.

“We are still getting to know the house, becoming acquainted with and learning to inhabit the space. We see this as a life project, and we aim to spend more time here as we grow older,” adds Antonio.

Designed to minimize its impact on the landscape, the house uses solar panels and batteries for power. There is also no Internet or cellular signal at Casa Prisma.

A wood-burning stove keeps the living room warm.

The ground floor of the A-frame structure houses an open-plan dining area.

The couple enlisted architect Smiljan Radic, who designed two structures facing each other across a wooden deck. Each pays homage to an earlier building. One re-creates Kazuo Shinohara’s 1974 Prism House. The other (shown here) reprises one of Radic ́’s own designs.

Carolina Correa Maturana and Antonio Mingo chose a site in the mountains of Chile’s Conguillío National Park for their vacation home.

At the top of the stairs is a family room with natural wood floors and white walls.

Metal stairs attached via wires allow an abundance of light to reach the first floor.

The kitchen is designed in a U-shape to enable socializing and to optimize space flow.

The compact row houses feature carefully angled solar panels that harness every moment of the sun.
