Prof. Paul Kariouk’s m.o.r.e Cabin published in book on contemporary houses

A project by Professor Paul Kariouk’s firm, Kariouk Architects, has been published in the collection, Homes for Our Time: Contemporary Houses around the World Volume 3.

Located in Wakefield, Que., the m.o.r.e. Cabin is a dramatic cantilevered holiday home designed to stand out from its natural surroundings overlooking a lake. It was constructed from a combination of glulam beams, CLT panels, and additional steel supports.

Homes for Our Time is dedicated to the theme of innovative home design as a medium of progress. Unlike commercial or public buildings — expansive projects that are often watered down by committees — small houses have historically been the vehicles for prototypes channeling focused research agendas beyond mere shelter.

The new book, edited by Philip Jodido, chronicles 60 projects from every continent and climatic region based on their capacity to establish higher environmental benchmarks.

The m.o.r.e. Cabin is the sole project selected from Canada and is also one of the few discussed in the introduction to elucidate the book’s theme.
