The owners of this Lithuanian holiday cottage can open large shutters incorporated into the timber-clad facades to transform the completely closed gabled volume into a bright space with views toward a nearby lake.
Vilnius-based studio Aketuri Architektai designed the lakeside retreat near the city of Zarasai to reference archetypal homesteads that complement their natural surroundings. The layout of the site corresponds to the arrangement of typical rural properties, with the main building facing a smaller shed across a simple yard. The shed provides space for storing fire wood and equipment, but it can also be used as a stable. A small sauna is positioned on the edge of the lake. The house's design employs vernacular forms and detailing, with shuttered windows incorporated into a simple rectilinear volume topped with a steeply pitched roof. "Even details such as window shutters that were a common feature in the vernacular are adapted and implemented.

US architecture firm Worrell Yeung has pared back the rural vernacular of the Hudson River Valley to create a contemporary black barn next to a countryside home.
The minimalist structure is an addition to a traditional property sited on a 30-acre (12-hectare) plot in the town of Ancram, New York. "This modern barn adopts an unmistakably contemporary design approach, while incorporating key elements of the agrarian vernacular of the Hudson Valley region," said Worrell Yeung, a Manhattan-based practice founded in 2014. Oriented along an east-west axis, the Ancram Barn is made up of two separate sections, and encompasses 1,500 square feet (140 square metres).
The western portion is tucked into the hillside, and is fully enclosed. This area forms a two-car garage, with additional room for storage. The other portion of the barn is described as "a flexible, covered outdoor room". Photography is by Magda Biernat. Huge rolling shutters shade Pennsylvania farmhouse by Cutler Anderson.

Local studio MNy Arkitekter gave House Åkerudden a gabled form that references the existing architecture in Tenala, a rural community around 60 miles west of Helsinki. But studio founder Mathias Nyström selected an assortment of treated and untreated timbers to subtly distinguish it from its neighbours. "The building's idiom is simple and oblong and it settles naturally into the open field landscape," said Nyström. "In its simplicity and apparent modesty, it approaches vernacular architecture without mimicking it," he added. "The goals were authenticity, simplicity, locality and sustainability. " Dezeen. This Slovenian home by Skupaj Arhitekti mimics the gabled form of its Alpine village neighbours, but it also features contemporary details and finishes (+ slideshow).
Slovenian architects Meta Kutin and Tomaž Ebenšpanger designed the 100-square-metre residence for a hillside plot in Stara Fužina, a protected Alpine village in Slovenia's Triglav National Park. The house replaces a former mechanic's workshop. Its gabled form means the new structure is inconspicuous among its traditional neighbours, but more contemporary materials including fibre-cement shingles were used to finish the project.
The roof is covered in thin, overlapping fibre-cement tiles laid to create a cross-hatched pattern, while galvanised metal accents update traditional wooden elements like window shutters and frames. The addition of the pitched roof was also a crucial factor in the negotiations. Hemishofen House / Dost.

Black-painted larch clads this small house in Croatia, designed by architect Tomislav Soldo for a hill overlooking forests and mountains. Soldo designed the two-storey Black Lodge for a sloped site in Gorski Kotar, a mountainous region in Croatia, with large windows to provide views of the surroundings. Like other residences in the region, the 100-square-metre house has a pitched roof, a compact layout and a wooden facade.
