Viking Seaside Summer House by FREAKS Architecture

This refurbished concrete fishing shack on France’s Cotentin Peninsula was originally built in the 1950s on a rock facing the sea. Its dimensions match Henry David Thoreau’s log cabin in Walden—10 feet by 15 feet—and France’s strict coastal regulations meant its size and shape couldn’t change during restoration. So FREAKS, a Paris architecture firm, did what it could, adding champagne-colored galvanized metal cladding as insulation and two large sliding windows that open onto the horizon.

McGovern Residence by Sven Holt

Sven and his partner have been restoring the home his grandparents built amidst the back-to-the-land movement n the 1970s. Enlisting family and friends for the help, the McGoverns harvested logs from Umatilla National Forest and salvaged materials from construction jobs, demolition sites, and second-hand stores. In addition to the main cabin, Bill and Evelyn McGovern built a root cellar, a potting shed, a guest room, and a quonset hut.

The walls that shape this area, divide the spaces into private and public areas.
