Greenhouse Cabin

Nestled in the Maulino Forest in the Chile Andes Mountains, the Greenhouse Cabin by Juan Carlos Sabbagh Arquitectos reimagines nature-centric living at nearly 3,117 feet above sea level. Designed as an "inverted greenhouse," this cabin places residents within a glass structure immersed in the forest, while the seasonal canopy of deciduous oaks shades the home in summer and invites sunlight during winter.

The cabin's transparent main living spaces-kitchen, dining, and living areas-create a seamless indoor-outdoor connection, offering panoramic views of the vibrant landscape. Private bedrooms, however, offer cozy retreats that balance openness with privacy. Crafted primarily from wood, the structure's two-story design minimizes environmental impact and preserves the forest's integrity.

This innovative approach harmonizes modern comfort with the rhythms of the forest, creating a year-round, sustainable connection to nature that changes with the seasons, making Greenhouse Cabin an ideal retreat for forest immersion.

This Cabin Opens Completely to the River

Set along the Sazava River, in the Czech Republic, the Riverside Cabin by Mimosa Architekti is a compact retreat shaped as much by what remains as by what was rebuilt. After a fire reduced the original structure to its stone base, the new design builds directly on that plinth, using it as both foundation and protection against flooding. The contrast between old and new defines the project. A lightweight timber structure sits above the heavy stone base, creati...
