Holiday house in Magura village; Bloc; Irina Wrenn, Raluca Visinescu│BIG SEE Awards 2018
Magura is a mountain village in Romania, situated between the Piatra Craiului mountains and the Bucegi mountains, included in the Piatra Craiului Natural Park. Benefiting from both an exceptional landscape and a strongly built context, the idea of the house is subordinated to the two: the house is opened and addressing the landscape, while its architecture stays minimal and follows the geometry and the materials of the local
House Höller, Alberschwende
Building a house in the picturesque Bregenzerwald valley in Western Austria, on a very steep hill outside the village centre, on a quiet road where several homes of varying size and artistic value had been built in recent years on both sides of the road.

Situated just meters by the sea, in a remote newly built area, the project takes maximum advantage of the site's qualities. The combination between wood and concrete feels like it has always been part of the sun-burned area's yellow grass. It gives you the warmth and the feeling of security that you would expect from a home. Since the privacy was very important for the client, on the
Koleliba; Hristina Hristova│BIG SEE Awards 2018
Koleliba as we called this tiny vacation house ( koleliba – a made up word meaning a hut with wheels) is our response to the invading consumerism that encourages us to always want our homes bigger, better and unnecessary luxurious. It’s a step back to a simpler life without excesses but full of free time, happy moments and shared joy. The restrictions defying the sizes of a vehicle that could

Upon the vineyard, there is a great old oak. This treehouse is the just a fusion of those two. And a little bit of local wine too. DUBoDOM is a small unique treehouse just few kilometers away from Bratislava. If anyone needs to escape the city's everyday stress, here is the place for listening the silence of the forest. The oak creates the whole treehouse, because it's branches are still
Černá Voda mountain lodge; ADR s.r.o.; Petr Kolář, Aleš Lapka│BIG SEE Awards 2018
Černá Voda, a small mountain lodge, is situated next to the “old” ski run in the Krkonoše mountains. The original lower ski-lift station was replaced with a new wooden structure on the confluence of Kolben and Černá Voda streams. The owner’s wish was to have a small structure to serve as a lodge for short-term guests. The mountain lodge is a wooden structure, with an adjacent steel structure

House by forest; Ľubomír Peráček, sr., Ľubomír Peráček, jr.│BIG SEE Awards 2018
Family house is part of a complex of six CLT houses situated on the edge of a riparian forest in Rusovce. The author's consistent style applied in this project did not only predict the construction system, but the architectural concept as well. The design of the house and its construction communicates with the surrounding riparian zone and creates harmony, which is reflected in the materials used (stone exterior walls, wooden

Kersko. A well-known place, a "forest town" with a population of about 200, yet mysterious and ever-surprising. The plot is square, with sides of 100m. Two thirds of the original pine trees are still standing, and young oaks, birch trees and hornbeams have been added. A natural pond has become the focal point of the place and attracts forest creatures, both original and new. The house, a Finnish Honka log
Parnassos chalet; Kokosalaki|Architecture │BIG SEE Awards 2018
In this case of redesigning the interior of a chalet, we were asked to intervene in an existing awarded building and revisit the idea of mountainside design, in order to counterbalance the dynamic design of the existing exterior with a new adequate interior that combines modern materials within a more rustic context. Greece, as a summer destination, is more closely connected to the island landscape. In the Greek
Stanzia in Istria; Emil Jurcan│BIG SEE Awards 2018
In the middle of a forest a perfect square surface 50x50 meter is enclosed with high stone wall. An ancient anonymous builder managed to achieve, with this gesture alone, almost a renaissance plan of a palace - symmetric, proportional, abstract and assembled from elementary geometric forms. House-camp, formerly agrarian housing complex, is now a haven of one family which is building it`s autonomy using separation - part of topografy is
