Melissa and Jake Brillhart built this 14’ × 22’ × 30’ hut in their backyard in Miami. They then dismantled it, flat-packed it in a 40-yard container and shipped it to the Bahamas via cargo ship. In Eleuthera Island, the couple reassembled the cabin themselves onsite. They built everything from the foundation to the flaps, including the kitchen cabinets and furniture.

700m2 Apartment is a minimal renovation located in Spain, designed by ARQUITECTURA-G. The first time the architects visited the space with its new owner, the sewing machines and the rolls of fabric were still in place. It was a single diaphanous space of approximately 10 × 70 meters intended for a tailoring shop that had closed its doors. The assignment consisted of transforming the workshop into a single-person home. In addition to the usual requirements of a home, the programs would include a study area and an artistic creation workshop.
