DELTA SHELTER
This 1,000 square-foot weekend cabin, basically a steel box on stilts, can be completely shuttered when the owner is away. Situated near a river in a floodplain, the 20’ x 20’ square footprint rises three stories and is topped by the living room/kitchen. Large, 10’ x 18’ steel shutters can be closed simultaneously using a hand crank.
Interiors by Olson Kundig Architects.
ROLLING HUTS
Responding to the owner’s need for space to house visiting friends and family, the Rolling Huts are several steps above camping, while remaining low-tech and low-impact in their design. The huts sit lightly on the site, a flood plain meadow in an alpine river valley. The owner purchased the site, formerly a RV campground, with the aim of allowing the landscape return to its natural state. The wheels lift the structures above the meadow, providing an unobstructed view into nature and the prospect of the surrounding mountains.
The huts are grouped as a herd: while each is sited towards a view of the mountains (and away from the other structures), their proximity unites them. They evoke Thoreau’s simple cabin in the woods; the structures take second place to nature. Rental information for the Huts is available at

dellekamp arquitectos - Void Temple
dellekamp arquitectos » Blog Archive » Void Temple: "The circle is a universal symbol of unity, a meaning that transcends cultures, borders, and languages. It appears time and time again within the religious rituals and depictions, from the halo of holy figures to the shape of the Holy Spirit during communion. It also represents a cycle, a never-ending journey symbolizing the faith of pilgrims. The circle offers a place for introspection, a space for pilgrims to look back upon their journey, before carrying on to their final destination."

11 Housing Units
Innovation in architecture has just turned the corner with 2:pm Architectures from France making everyone sit up and take notice. They have broken new ground in this field by planning a project, a housing complex built on a slope at Turquant, France. This complex comprises of 11 units. In the thick implantation, a living environment is articulated through this project, along with two adding up 11 units. The feature that makes these housing units stand apart is the fact that the units do not contain any wood at all. People at 2:pm Architecture believe that to create and build up something that will keep up, the resources used should be taken into consideration.

Situated in a flat position on top of the rock, residents will be able to view the vast, delightful scenery from the Loire’s lap. The roof is solitary. It has, however, modulations that are in juxtaposition to the boundary of the back of the abyss of Crete. There are two buildings that are to the west. These are constructed straight up. These two are positively going to remind you of the countryside. The roof with single incline is incised in a square, even if slightly so.
They have paid attention to the use of steel. Using steel is advantageous for various reasons. Frequent use of wood to construct buildings is unfavorable to the environment. Using steel is a more eco friendly option. Steel is recyclable and can be reused for an indefinite period. Steel, even after recycling, does not lose any of its properties that are originally found in it. The framing is done by putting together the steel while building. It is easy to disband the steel resources that are used in the housing, and is also easy to recycle them as required. Using steel is a sophisticated, cost effective and environmental friendly step as far as constructing buildings are concerned.
These housing units interpret the neighboring surroundings in a very different, unique and modern way. The Turkish native architecture is, however, preserved in these buildings. The construction flaunts roofs with solitary incline, the sophisticated veneer on the lanes, and access to stairs that are external are specific to Turkish architecture.

Tony Fretton Architects - The Red House, Chelsea, London
As in a Dutch canal house or Venetian palazzo, the Red House offers a formal, composed facade to the street through which private life is brought discreetly into contact with the life of the city. Incomplete references to other familiar buildings and adjustments to the interior rooms’ formal themes capture the unexpected beauty of chance relationships. The rooms of the house are not fully fixed in purpose in order to make themselves available to personal experience and interpretation.

PRITZKER PRIZE GOES TO PAOLO MENDES DA ROCHA | Inhabitat - Green Design Will Save the World
PRITZKER PRIZE GOES TO PAOLO MENDES DA ROCHA Inhabitat - Green Design Will Save the World: "There’s been plenty of excitement the last day or so over the news of this year’s Pritzker Prize winner, Brazilian architect Paulo Mendes da Rocha. Da Rocha’s work is significant for his poetic use of an utterly simple material — concrete. In 60 years of practice, the architect has created high-rises, stadiums, houses, museums, and even a chapel from concrete"
