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.

Land on Water

Building on water has gained popularity as a result of growing awareness of sea level rise and an increased risk of urban floods, but current options, such as concrete foundations filled with polystyrene and plastic pontoons, are rigid, challenging to move, and incredibly unsustainable. A new system of straightforward, flat-packed modules made of recycled reinforced plastic has been envisioned by Danish maritime architecture studio MAST. These mo...
