Tull Weekend Home / Rei Mitsui Architects

April 10, 2026 Miwa Negoro 0

This weekend retreat is set within a mountain forest, designed as a grounded place of dwelling immersed in nature. Typically, mountain vacation homes are elevated on slopes to offer stunning views, but through dialogues with the client, it became evident that being close to the ground, without detachment from nature, was more important than floating for the view.

Sailom House / Anonym

April 9, 2026 Miwa Negoro 0

Sailom House is a four-story home that accommodates members from three families. Anonym designs the inside to look and feel like a service apartment with functional spaces that each family member can use freely and separately on each floor. The first floor consists of common areas such as the living room and kitchen, while the upper floors house bedrooms, more living areas, and small pantries. Every story is linked together via two internal courtyards that open up into the void, running from the ground to the fourth floor.

Carrickalinga Shed / Architects Ink

April 9, 2026 Miwa Negoro 0

The premise was an interpretation of an Australian Federation Farmhouse, sited on a hilltop in Carrickalinga. With extreme winds, we manipulated the traditional farmhouse, stretching the perimeter to a square, whilst removing the center for the courtyard. With the verandah on the ‘wrong’ side, we inverted the roof. This creates a low eave to the protected garden, allowing solar gain and solar access.

Two Gabled Volumes, One Landscape / BRBB Architects

April 8, 2026 Miwa Negoro 0

The Shin-Dae-Ri House in Hoengseong was designed for an elderly couple seeking to leave behind their long life in Seoul and settle into a quieter existence immersed in nature. The site is located in a small mountain village in Gangwon Province, where the land rises toward a wooded hillside at the back and opens toward a valley with a stream in front. Surrounded by layered mountain ridges, the house is conceived as a place where the couple can cultivate a garden, tend a small field, and experience the changing seasons as part of their daily life.

No.23 Residence / Tristan Burfield

April 8, 2026 Miwa Negoro 0

Located on the Great Ocean Road with a short walk down to Eagle Rock, the home’s namesake, this project sits amongst coastal walks, surf beaches, dirt roads, and sandstone cliffs.  A discreet and unassuming timber building, hidden in the back of a deep bush garden, this freestanding addition is a robust retreat to suit a family or couple for short-term stays. A private breakaway space from a larger holiday home that supports it.
