White concrete panel cladding and corrugated steel roof panels give this cabin a crisp, geometric form that almost melts into the landscape on bleary, snowy days.

This cabin has a commodious kitchen and living area that encourages family and friends to come together for meals and conversation.

The kitchen cabinets are from Multiform's Form-1 line, which was designed by Carsten Michelsen in 1982. Per the company's website, Form-1 was Michelsen's effort to "elevate the Scandinavian kitchen to the level of the Danish furniture classics of the 1950s."

A large deck coated with Cetol finish from Behr extends into the home’s sloped site.

Stairway to Heaven is located on the clients' parents' land, just steps away from the homeowner's childhood home. Two siblings were also building homes on the property, making it a true family compound. The architects were mindful to create a home that utilized the views, but also allowed for privacy between residents.

This classic 1960s A-frame cabin in New Jersey now serves as a stylish Scandinavian-inspired vacation retreat that’s available for rent.

Named Los Terrenos, meaning The Terrains, this retreat in Monterrey, Mexico, was designed by Mexico City–based architect Tatiana Bilbao to reflect the lush woodland hillside it sits on. The dwelling consists of two volumes made of rammed earth, terracotta clay bricks, and a facade clad in mirrored glass.

Formerly a magazine editor in New Zealand and London, Sam Eichblatt moved to New York in 2012 to write about architecture, travel, and food for international publications, and work as contributing editor to HOME magazine of New Zealand. For “A Matter of Truss," she revisited an old friend: Eichblatt and resident Nicole Stock previously sat three desks away from each other while working on the kiwi design title Urbis.

An architectural and fine art photographer, Mike Sinclair is based in Kansas City, Missouri. “One of my favorite things about being a photographer is how people open up their houses and lives to us,” he says. “While I was photographing the Hufft residence, I set up my camera for a last picture of their evening backyard barbecue. Their family, friends, even the dogs, were all enjoying the evening and treated me as if I was just one of the group."

The recipient of awards including the PDN Arnold Newman Award and a Pulitzer Grant, photographer Jason Larkin exhibited his latest project, Tales from the City of Gold, published by Kehrer, at the Flowers Gallery, London. “Capturing the ingenious use of space in Johanna Molineus’s flat was a great challenge,” he says. “But the abundance of available light from her skylights allowed a great play with shadows in the space."

Based in Chicago, writer Patrick Sisson appreciated the personal touches throughout the Hufft house, especially how the kitchen, living room, and outdoor space flowed together. “While utilizing custom fabrication certainly led to a more personalized home, it was evident that signature touches, like the framed drop cloth on the upper level, went beyond functional to speak to the family’s history and day-to-day lifestyle,” he says.

Sottsass labored over the project in multiple dimensions and mediums, but always with a flair for style, as seen here in a vivid watercolor painting of the home.

Completed in May 2018, the Crossfield Street House is the residence of architect Jonathan Pile, his wife Katherine, and their five-year-old son.

A frequent Dwell contributor, Brussels-based photographer Tim Van de Velde trekked to Helsinki to capture the M-M House. “Shooting the home was a treat,” he says. “The family was very warm and accommodating. Although it was Father’s Day in Finland, and they had a party to attend, they welcomed me fully. We had a great time photographing this open and creative home.”
