ABC Home is a house in Smiths Falls, Canada, by Kariouk Architects. Set on a two-hundred-acre rural site in eastern Ontario, it answers a forested wetland landscape with a low, three-pavilion plan. Glassed-in links, wood siding, and local slate help the home sit quietly among the animals, trees, and seasonal change around it.
Planted Pavilion extends a long-running architectural story on a Constantia estate in Cape Town, South Africa, by Malan Vorster Architecture Interior Design. This new pavilion settles into a steep hillside, linking restored house, acclaimed Tree House, and gym building through a historic poplar-lined wagon road. Across glass, planted roofs, and water, the project draws the wider landscape and Table Mountain views into everyday life on the property.
