Nanne Springer + 25 Category: Residential Architecture, Houses Office Lead Architects: Sigridur Magnusdottir, Hans-Olav Andersen Design Team: Teiknistofan Tro More SpecsLess Specs Nanne Springer Location- Nestled in a secluded valley in southwest Iceland, the holiday home is situated on a site defined by untouched natural vegetation, including mountain birch, heather, and grass. The terrain slopes gently southward and borders a large lake, offering dramatic views across the water toward distant mountains.

Set in a quiet residential area, the building was designed with an open space at the opening, with an axis running from there to the approach as the layout plan.

Designed by Maytree Studios, the project challenges conventional ideas about scale, privacy, and densityproving that clever design and restraint can create generosity in the most modest conditions.

The house is positioned on the site with the aim of responding in a relatively simple way to two central questions: How can it capture a panoramic view of the horizon, which also brings us the presence of the sea? How can it embrace outdoor spaces that simultaneously protect the residents' privacy from neighbors' views and ensure comfort on days of strong wind?

The house pursues a living environment with a tangible "grain," woven from natural materials, passive performance, and everyday culture. Rather than leaning one-sidedly on technical metrics, it layers light and wind, materiality, and the rituals of daily life with care, seeking a stance that is attentive to the environment and a form of architecture that stays close to how people actually live.

John and Carmen Ramos have lived in their quirky 1950s ranch house for 20+ years and needed a new space that would reflect their relaxed, yet sophisticated coastal lifestyle. A new home was designed in place of the old with a ground floor master suite, a new second floor with terraces designed for indoor-outdoor living, and enough space to host the entire family.

From the street, the residence leans into modern while following the strict design requirements of the area. White stucco landscape walls give nod to the Mediterranean vernacular of its surroundings, while a dark, charred-wood upper volume - clad in shou sugi ban - announces a bolder contemporary sensibility. The home's entry is behind a slatted wood gate, partially hidden between concrete walls, through a small, secluded courtyard. This path leads to a recessed "genkan," a traditional Japanese threshold where shoes are removed.

Clarksville is one of Austin's few truly walkable neighborhoods, with a main commercial street, school, and public park all within a roughly square-mile radius, satisfying the needs of daily life. It was here that romance blossomed for architect Michael Hsu and his now wife, Sarah, a contemporary art adviser. Soon after the couple met in 2020, she moved into a bungalow just down the street from the plot that he had recently purchased, envisioning settling down in the area.

UAN House is located in an area of low, dense vegetation, with a gentle slope descending toward the street. From an elevated vantage point, one would see breathtaking views of the lake and the Ventana and Catedral hills. To preserve the existing vegetation, the project proposes two volumes: one housing the residence and the other, a garden elevated above the original landscape.

Text description provided by the architects. In this house, spaces are not divided by walls according to function. Instead, overlapping boundaries generate an expanse that reaches beyond the ordinary. The simple plan, evenly divided into four, may at first appear to be a series of identical rooms lined up like a single studio unit. Yet in reality, the connections between rooms and the placement of openings prevent a complete view of the whole.

Maree House is a home for a local doctor and her family in Yarraville. The goal was to create characterful spaces with different zones and atmospheres, whilst maintaining flow. The client bought the long block because of its potential to accommodate a lap pool. Being an avid swimmer, it was important for the pool to be functionally accessible for daily swims, as well as a visual feature. An important part of the brief was for each room to have large windows with a garden view. Backyard, courtyards, and balconies ensure there is always a connection outside.
