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.
Travelers’ House stands in Warsaw, Poland, a ground-level house by BBGK Architekci shaped for a couple who live to roam and return. The plan revolves around an atrium and a tent-like roof that pulls garden air deep inside, then frames long views into the pines. Materials skew warm and tactile, and the interior nods to tropical modernism without turning away from the woods outside.
