Sharp House

Constructed of cast-in-place concrete, the Sharp House gives a raw, brutalist contrast to the warm Santa Fe landscape. The dwelling was built with an economical approach using limited material while rebelling against decorative facades and arbitrary forms with a clean geometric silhouette. Its 2,000-square-foot interior includes two bedrooms, a dining room, kitchen, and living area with a minimalist aesthetic created by exposed concrete walls. Full-height glazing to the north and south offer the warmth of sunlight and cross ventilation as well as views of the desert scenery. A built-in ladder on the exterior leads to a rooftop terrace, a prime spot for late-night star gazing.

Seoul Robot Science Museum

It's only fitting that a team of robots would build the first-ever Robot Science Museum. Located in Seoul, the museum will be housed in a cream, dome-like structure but the first exhibit will start lone before the doors are even open. The live robotics demonstration will begin when a crew of drones site maps the property. From there, a variety of robots will do everything from assembling the metal exterior to performing inspections. Construction will begin in 2020 and is expected to be complete by 2022.

Belmont Hut

Inspired by Scandinavian design but located on a cattle farm in the Ohio Valley, the Belmont Hut brings a new aesthetic to the forefront — country minimalism. The practice brings together traditional building techniques, an emphasis on craft, and Noway's Hygge philosophy for a simplified version of the standard rural cabin. Nestled in the woods, the cedar shelter was built entirely by family and friends. Bleached Eastern Pine floors and walls lined with white lap paneling give the 600-square-foot interior a bright and airy atmosphere. Floor-to-ceiling windows overlook the lake below while flooding the interior with natural light. Equipped with solar panels and a rain collection system, the project was sustainably built and operates off-grid.
