Wirra Willa Pavilion

The stunning Wirra Willa Pavilion designed by Matthew Woodward Architecture is the perfect weekend retreat. Located in Somersby, NSW, Australia, on an 80-acre property, the tiny house is only 72 square meters (775 sq.ft) in size, and weightlessly cantilevers over the adjacent natural lily pond, creating a scene straight from a Monet painting, and giving guests the sensation of walking on water. Although small, there is still room for sleeping, a bathroom, kitchen and storage space. There is also a small pool under the floor in the living room.

WENATCHEE RIVER CABIN

The Wenatchee River Cabin is a study in restraint done right. Designed by Wittman Estes, this compact one bedroom retreat sits quietly along the Wenatchee River at the edge of Washington’s Okanogan Wenatchee National Forest. Built from concrete and steel, the cabin balances durability with a deep respect for its surroundings, offering a basecamp for a life shaped by nature rather than possessions. Elevated ten feet above the ground on concrete columns, the stru...

Casa Mavra

Casa Mavra is less about decoration and more about presence. The use of raw materials and controlled geometry puts it closer to projects like the Shoreline House, where architecture works with the landscape rather than trying to dominate it. The sequence into the home is what stands out. That long approach, defined by a rising wall and water running alongside the stairs, creates a sense of transition that feels deliberate and slow. It is a similar kin...
