Tucked into a quiet stretch of the San Juan Islands, in Washington, this compact 450 square foot cabin by Olson Kundig makes careful use of its position above the water. The site is remote, edged by trees and shaped by a natural slope that falls away toward the shoreline below. From the start, the project leans into these conditions, using placement and proportion to heighten what is already there.
Rather than spreading out, the cabin stays small and focused. Its footprint is modest, but its orientation gives it reach. The structure sits lightly on the bluff, allowing the landscape to remain the dominant presence -- via contemporist

Set in Ketchum, Idaho, this striking home by Olson Kundig balances rugged mountain character with modern design. Built as a second home, it blends raw industrial materials with warm details, creating a space that feels both grounded in the high desert landscape and elevated by bold architectural moves.
From the outside, the house appears almost understated, tucked into the hillside. Two steel-and-glass wings project outward from a base of board-formed concrete, reaching toward expansive views of Bald Mountain, Griffin Butte, and Adams Gulch. Anchored by structural concrete masts that double as fireplaces, the cantilevered wings give the home a sense of weightlessness while celebrating the surrounding landscape -- via Contemporist
