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.
Yosemite Cabin sits in California, United States, by Prentiss + Balance + Wickline Architects. The house replaces an aging family retreat in Wawona with a compact monolith carved open to light and mountain views. Designed in 2023, it orients daily life to the surrounding park while handling a tight lot through careful planning and a material palette drawn from the woods.
