Lone Madrone House

Nestled in the trees, on a rocky, wind-swept south facing shoreline, lays this stunning 1,600sf retreat with amazing views and outstanding attention to detail. Located on the rocky coastline of Orcas Island in the northwestern corner of Washington state, the Lone Madrone House was designed by Heliotrope Architects, using local materials that help it effortlessly blend into its natural surroundings. The home has picture perfect views from the main living area, and features a roof garden that was installed in order to replace habitat lost to the footprint of the house. The cabin opens up completely to the outdoors, allowing guests to fully interact with the landscape and mind-blowing view of the sea to the south.

COURTYARD CABIN

This unique cabin is designed to establish continuity between the living spaces and the surrounding forest. Imagined by architect Lucas Maino Fernandez, Un Patio House sits on a remote and rugged site, in a very difficult location to access due to the dense vegetation, at the foot of the northern slopes of the Villarrica volcano in Chile, between the mountain range and the lake of the same name. In spectacular fashion, the architect created an interior void in the s...

It is an 18 square metre black volume on wheels designed to stop somewhere, open up, and let you observe. The lower level does the most with the least. A longitudinal kitchen, full bathroom, and two condensed lounge areas occupy the floor plan without competing for space. The interior is deliberately d...
