Casa Gallareta, a boutique-scale hospitality proje

Casa Gallareta, a boutique-scale hospitality project in Argentine Patagonia, demonstrates how material choices shape architectural identity and sustainability. Nestled among Coihue and Arrayán trees near Lake Correntoso, the modular cabins harmoniously integrate into the forest landscape.

The cabins feature shou sugi ban-treated eucalyptus, Lapacho hardwood, and Guatambú timber, combining durability, low environmental impact, and striking visual qualities.

Elevated on minimal concrete foundations, the structures preserve the terrain and existing vegetation, while interiors showcase seamless timber finishes that unify walls, ceilings, and furniture. Large windows and half-level layouts extend the experience into the surrounding forest, blending luxury with ecological sensitivity.

Stay tuned for our December issue for the detailed story. Get in touch with us today if you’d like us to feature your project.

This sea-facing residence in Vagator, Goa - comple

This sea-facing residence in Vagator, Goa - completed by Architecture Discipline, pioneers the use of mass timber in India. Perched on a steeply sloped site, the home combines minimal intervention with thoughtful design, offering expansive views of the Chapora River and Arabian Sea.

The superstructure uses glued-laminated timber (glulam) portal frames, prefabricated in New Delhi and assembled on site to reduce waste and CO₂ emissions. The linear block features charred timber façades using the yakisugi technique, protecting the home from tropical weather while creating a striking visual identity.

Open-plan interiors, a mezzanine gallery, and a floating metal deck ensure seamless interaction with the outdoors, highlighting the versatility and sustainability of mass timber.

With its striking timber construction, the Wendlin

With its striking timber construction, the Wendlingen multi-storey car park sets a benchmark in sustainable design. At 18 meters high, it accommodates almost 350 cars and 150 bicycles, with e-charging stations and secure storage for 200 bikes.

Predominantly built using cross-laminated timber ceilings and glued-laminated timber supports, the prefabricated components ensure faster construction and lower CO₂ emissions. Its oval shape, greened façade, and removable central ramp allow for future adaptability, while minimal steel and concrete usage highlights long-term sustainability.

✨ Throwback to The Warp at Dubai Design Week 202

✨ Throwback to The Warp at Dubai Design Week 2024 ✨

Designed by Mitsubishi Jisho Design, the pavilion merged ancient Japanese carpentrywith cutting-edge 3D printing, creating an immersive journey through time and tradition. Built from 900 uniquely shaped 3D-printed panels made from sawdust and connected with traditional joinery, The Warp was a living example of cultural continuity and circular design.

With its twisting organic curves and immersive tea experiences, it became one of the most talked-about features of last year’s festival - a statement about the future of regenerative, eco-friendly construction. A pavilion that warped us across centuries, and straight into tomorrow.

As Dubai Design Week 2025 approaches this November, we can’t help but look forward to the new ideas, experiments, and installations that will once again transform d3 into a global stage for design.
