Designed by Dannien Roller Architekten + Partner, the Sofie Haug Children’s Day-Care Centre in Tübingen, Germany, is a contemporary architectural marvel that seamlessly blends with its enchanting woodland surroundings. This two-storey hybrid-timber nursery, built in 2022, features a striking façade of charred spruce and bright, glazed teal spruce, creating an alluring mystic effect that captivates both children and visitors alike.

Three Pines, a 2,100 square foot home designed by RES4, is nestled along the edge of the Chesapeake Bay wetlands in North Beach, United States. Composed of six modular boxes arranged in a courtyard hybrid layout, this house was designed with a retiring couple in mind, prioritizing aging-in-place features. By prefabricating the majority of the home off-site, the modest budget was kept in check, and the overall construction timeline was reduced to just six months.
