The Kootenay region of British Columbia is blanketed by tall snowy peaks, deep and narrow valleys, and steep and forested slopes. This topography is inspiring, yet challenging. The locals have a joke that "mountains are nice to look at, but they get in the way!"

The Studio House is a compact single-bedroom home and is an exploration of living small, affordably, and sustainably. At only 42m2 the house is compact, similar in nature to a studio apartment. But although small it has been designed to be fit for purpose, a comfortable home for a couple that allows for a high degree of liveability without the need for compromise.

We all love adventures with friends, imagine the fun with a family of builders and makers. Everyone builds when not everyone has a room, and you move in with only a roof. This is that kind of home; welcoming, informal, but prompting and outward-looking; crafted from the inside out.

Nelson Airport Terminal / Studio Pacific Architecture

Andreas Luco — Fri, 11 Dec 2020 20:00:00 +0000

The Nelson Airport Terminal is a new large span timber building overlooking the runway, with a stunning backdrop of Tasman Bay and the Western Ranges in Nelson, New Zealand. The requirement for a new terminal building arose out of the reality that the existing 1975 building no longer met building code requirements or functioned efficiently with the ever-increasing passenger numbers travelling through Nelson.

Mountain Range House / Irving Smith Jack Architects

Sebastian J — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 00:00:00 +0000

Mountain Range House develops research and analysis of previous practice projects where traditional Pacific verandahs have provided intermediary living space at the transition of building to landscape. In attractive climates these external transition spaces, often finished in simple timbers, collect activity at the building edge where physical and visual access to landscape is unrestricted, immediate and inviting. Without enclosing walls, a verandah forms a single space held between horizontal flooring and roofing planes, and orientated outwards to the surrounding landscape by the building behind and transverse access.
