Reiulf Ramstad Arkitekter (@reiulframstadarkitekter) has completed Hotel 48°Nord (@hotel48nord) in Breitenbach, Alsace, eastern France. Perched on a hillside, the architecture of the ecotourism retreat is inspired by Scandinavian design. 14 hytte-like cabins are built on stilts, designed to be removable, so that the landscape remains preserved. Chestnut wood sourced from trees on the opposite hill clads all volumes, combined with large glazed openings. Photography: Florent Michel via @v2com_newswire

Toronto-based Partisans (@partisansarchitecture) has designed Fold House, a home in southern Ontario that 'folds' into the contours of a hillside through its undulating wood and steel structure. The facade and interiors deploy compression-bent wood, a fabrication technique typically used on furniture and musical instruments. The roof's wave-like curvature cradles a cascading external steel staircase and creates a sculptural architectural presence

Madrid-based architecture practice @frpo.es has designed Estación San José, a new mixed-use building in the Mexican city of Toluca clad in shimmering perforated metal.
The site of the project was originally a car park, but the owner wanted to create a multi-purpose structure that could become a cultural and economic hub for the city, featuring public spaces, shops, co-working offices and a roof garden.

Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners (RSHP) has completed the Richard Rogers’ Drawing Gallery, the final project Rogers began before his retirement from practice last year. The gallery is located in the vineyards of Château La Coste, a 500-acre rural wine estate in southern France. Harnessing bridge-like engineering, the project cantilevers 18m off a hillside, overlooking the Luberon National Park. With a boxy form encased in an exoskeleton of bright orange steel beams, the gallery embraces the high-tech style that initially propelled Rogers to such architectural fame.

Balčytis Studija has completed the Vilkaviškis Bus Station in Lithuania, designed both as a piece of transport infrastructure and as a social hub. Instead of removing the trees that were on the plot before development, the design incorporated them, where they punctuate the project's sheltered public space, rising through holes cut into the concrete roof to accommodate them.

Atelier Poem (@atelierpoem) has designed the Chapel of Tears, a mysterious architectural intervention in the French Alps. The project was the winning entry in the annual @festivaldescabanes (The Hut Festival), which invites architects to propose and build hut structures for the mountainous landscape lying to the south of Lake Annecy in France. While traditionally, mountain huts give hikers refuge, Atelier Poem wanted to translate this encounter into a spiritual one, creating a chapel-like structure made of spruce that in both materiality and design frames a relationship with the surrounding nature.

Amid a climate crisis, what does the ‘ideal city’ look like?
A new book from @space10 and @gestalten, The Ideal City, showcases projects that contribute to more inclusive, sustainable and desirable cities. But does its optimism tackle the scale of the problem? Read the full review by @athlynck on our website now (link in bio). Pictured: the Michigan Urban Farming Initiative (@mufigram), which engages communities and promotes education through urban agriculture, while growing and delivering produce to more than 2,000 households in the local area without charge.

Architectural students at @ethzurich have designed and created the Digital Bamboo Pavilion, which explores combining the natural material of bamboo with digital fabrication. Customised computational tools were developed to design the structure, whose bespoke connections were manufactured using 3D-printing technology. Read the full story on our website now (link in bio).
