Specht Novak has completed its latest residential project in the heart of a dense Austin neighborhood. Named the Stealth House, and a winner at the recent Texas Design Award, the compact, 1,100-square-foot dwelling is designed to explore new models of privacy, sustainability, and urban infill. Image credit: Leonid FurmanskyImage credit: Leonid FurmanskyConceived as an experimental project and built as the personal residence of architect Scott Specht, Stealth House rethinks the accessory dwelling unit (ADU) through a design that eliminates all perimeter windows. Instead, the structure is clad in corrugated steel, offering a protective shell that prioritizes privacy, security, and a distinct architectural presence. The home’s name pays homage to its inconspicuous exterior, which conceals light-filled interiors oriented around internal courtyards.

The design of France's national pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka from leading international studios Coldefy and Carlo Ratti Associati has the look of a fair favorite after the April 13th opening of festivities at the six-month exhibition.  As a follow-up to an early preview of its 'Theater of Nature' concept, organizers of the pavilion have shared photographer Julien Lanoo’s imagery detailing a stemwinding journey that invites visitors to be both an actor and spectator in a grand production of space and nature.  Via their transversals of the "looping narrative path" that weaves inside and out of the pavilion (whose porous voided facade is framed by 56-foot-high suspended fabric veils), those who experience it will come away with a more personal understanding of the symbiosis between form and humanity.

Nationwide spending on nonresidential construction decreased by 0.5% for March following weeks of uncertainty in the face of new trade tariffs, the latest analysis of U.S. Census Bureau data from the Associated Builders and Contractors has shown.  On a seasonally adjusted annualized basis, nonresidential spending totaled $1.25 trillion. Spending was down on a monthly basis in 11 of the 16 nonresidential subcategories. Private nonresidential spending fell 0.8%, while public nonresidential construction spending was down 0.2% in March. This follows the findings from last month's report, which eclipsed new record highs in the month of February. The Dodge Momentum Index has also seen a pullback lately while the commercial sector falters outside of typically strong data center designs.

As prospective students began to receive offers of study from M.Arch programs across the United States, Archinect wanted to hear from our community on how they had fared in their applications and their thoughts and reflections on the process.  Building off an active Archinect Forum thread with over 300 comments, we launched a survey to gain further insights from applicants. The landscape that emerged from responses was one of general relief and satisfaction among students with the results of their efforts, but shared concerns over finance, feedback, and resources. Below, we have summarized seven key takeaways from the survey responses. Do you have further thoughts beyond those captured below? Let us know in the comments. 1. Overall, students are happy with the outcome. Archinect asked respondents if, overall, they were happy with the results and offers they had received so far during the application period. In response, 62% of students told us that they were very happy with the outc...

As global trade policies continue to shift, most notably under the Trump administration’s imposition of tariffs, construction projects have begun to face increasing uncertainty over contract performance. One novel legal question relevant to the issue is whether new or increased tariffs can be classified as force majeure events, thereby excusing delays or nonperformance in construction contracts. Force majeure, after all, was one of a number of topics noted in our recent article on how construction contracts could be re-designed for tariff uncertainty. Force majeure clauses, commonly found in commercial agreements, are intended to relieve parties from contractual obligations when extraordinary and unforeseeable events, such as natural disasters, war, or government embargoes, make performance impossible or impracticable. However, these clauses are narrowly interpreted by courts, and their applicability often hinges on the specific language used in each contract.  Related on Archinect:...

The M+ museum currently features Nakagin and Kiyotomo: Architectural Icons from Tokyo, 1970s–1980s, a look at the famous capsule tower’s relationship with the late-80s icon Kiyotomo sushi bar and the link between architect Kisho Kurokawa and designer Shiro Kuramata. The exhibition includes one of 23 preserved capsule pods from the original tower alongside a full-scale mockup of the reconstructed bar interiors (1988-2014) for an in situ analysis. They and the supporting materials will be on display in the museum's East Galleries until the end of February 2026. More from our 2022 coverage of the capsule preservation effort is here.

Here’s another look inside the complexities of rebuilding in Altadena following January’s Eaton Fire, courtesy of AfroLA. "The takeaway right now is that the greatest value is in community preservation," Altadena resident Steve Lewis tells the outlet in response to the growing concerns of displacement for many of the Black families whose properties have sustained an inordinate amount of damage, according to a UCLA study. SoCal NOMA has been active in advocating for their position as the rebuilding process finally starts. They are working closely with other volunteer groups like the Altadena Rebuild Coalition to recover decades of Black history by founding community land banks and through other means.

Earlier this week, SCI-Arc announced the appointment of Winka Dubbeldam as the school's next Director and CEO. In light of her new leadership position, it's time for a look at some of her firm Archi-Tectonics' most recognized projects completed since its founding in 1994.  Since that time, honors from numerous design awards have helped propel the firm into the international spotlight, highlighting in turn Dubbeldam's profile as an architect. The studio, whose operations are spread between New York, Amsterdam, and Hangzhou, is set to publish their first monograph Monsters and Mutants (via Park Books, Switzerland) later this year.

A new report by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) has found that overtime continues to be prevalent in the UK profession. The report found that 90% of architectural workers have worked more than their contracted hours, with the average employee working 44 hours a week despite being contracted to work 37.5 hours per week. Two-thirds of the 1,450 people who responded to the RIBA’s survey said that they were not compensated for overtime. Only 6% received payment, with 23% receiving ‘time off in lieu.’ In 2021, Archinect reported in-depth on the prevalence of unpaid overtime across the UK profession. Low pay remains a pressing issue, particularly among younger, early-career professionals. 76% of Architectural Assistants with undergraduate qualifications, and 13% with Master's qualifications, are paid below the Real Living Wage, as defined by the UK's Real Living Wage Foundation. By age group, 69% of those aged 21–24 and 11% of those aged 25–34 do not receive the Real Livi...

A new home in Seattle’s Mt. Baker neighborhood from Best Practice Architecture dubbed 'Lil Shingle' was completed earlier this year at 2,617 square feet. The home, an early-1950s vestige that was salvaged after falling into a state of considerable disrepair, derives its name from the custom-made scalloped cedar facade shingles featured in the new design. Its past degradation had earned it the dubious moniker "Slanty Shanty."

Marina Tabassum is gearing up for her turn as the 24th designer of the Serpentine Pavilion in London. In the lead up to the summer’s most anticipated single-stage exhibition, she spoke in an additional preview of her forthcoming concept titled 'A Capsule in Time.' Tabassum says: "The idea was to connect it to where I come from [Dhaka, Bangladesh], where we have these makeshift structures made out of bamboo and fabric. We call them Shamiana, and it's about the translucency of the light and daylight coming through it; if you’re coming on a nice, sunny day, it should cheer you up. I’m really hoping that people will come together, connect, and that everybody enjoys it." The 2025 Serpentinite Pavilion commission opens on June 6th in London’s Kensington Gardens.

The organizers of the Healing the Heart of LA competition, FORT: LA, the ACLA and AIA|LA, have named two winners at the culmination of a very timely contest whose organizers hoped to inspire resilience and determination in the midst of rebuilding for fire-stricken communities in Los Angeles.  Selected from a crop of design proposals that were aimed at rehabilitating one of the many architectural landmarks lost in the Altadena area and the Pacific Palisades, the winners chosen by jury members Adrian Scott Fine, Christina Morris, Sharon Johnston, Siddhartha Majumdar, Rochelle Mills, Sam Lubell, and Frances Anderton stood out for their sensibility to memory, place, and the sustainable mandate for a more secure future.
