Architect Hafsa Burt’s (@hbaarchitects) answer to a changing climate begins with less. Set on a nine-acre site in Jackson, California, Null is a small private home conceived as both prototype and thought experiment for climate-resilient architecture. Designed through Burt’s Box Lab initiative, the raised structure follows what she calls a ‘just-enough philosophy’, stripping residential design back to what is needed across its programme, systems, materials and spaces. In a region prone to wildfires and significant temperature swings, the house uses no fossil fuels for its operations, while structural steel, carefully insulated walls and ceilings, and upcycled drywall and exterior wood cladding keep materials to a ‘bare minimum’.

That thinking runs through the house from the outset. Null is connected to onsite solar power, oriented to make the most of its setting, while rainwater is collected in 2,500-gallon cisterns, with excess flowing to a reservoir. Systems are deliberately left exposed, giving the house an honest, machine-like quality and showing how it works rather than hiding it. For Burt, the experiment is about ‘a paradigm shift in residential programming’, with the small house now offering a prototype that can be replicated across different areas and terrains.

Step inside Null and see how Burt is rethinking the future of the single-family home via the link in bio or at wallpaper.com.

The third exhibition week of the MUSA Pavilion at Palazzo Pisani Revedin, Venice continues its journey through international contemporary art, exploring the invisible connections between memory, nature, identity, imagination, and human experience.

Through photography, painting, architecture, and sculptural practices, five international artists invite visitors to discover the hidden structures that shape our existence.

✨ Elena Smurova (USA) presents The Quiet Architecture of Love, a photographic exploration of love not as a fleeting emotion, but as an invisible architecture built through time, trust, memory, and shared experiences. Her images reveal the silent spaces between people, where care, belonging, and devotion become visible.

✨ Mark Wennberg (Norway) presents Rooms of Remembrance, a powerful reflection on memory, history, and identity. Through fragmented interiors and portraits, his works explore personal and collective narratives, questioning how stories are preserved, lost, and reconstructed across generations.

✨ Hafsa Burt (USA) presents an architectural and sculptural reflection on our relationship with nature, exploring humanity’s ancient need to reconnect with the natural world as a source of shelter, healing, and belonging.

✨ Gaál Magdolna (Hungary) presents The Harmonious Soaring Momentum of Imagination and Reality, a vibrant dialogue between vision and dream, reality and imagination, where color becomes a vital force capable of expressing inner transformation and the deep energies of existence.

✨ Elvira Rajek (Austria) presents Nature Outgrows It All, a meditation on nature’s power to reclaim, transform, and regenerate. Through the use of recycled materials and elements from old private collections, her work reflects the resilience of ecosystems and the continuous cycle of renewal.

The third week of the MUSA Pavilion celebrates the diversity of artistic languages and perspectives, united by a shared exploration of what connects us: love, memory, nature, and the ever-evolving meaning of identity.

At the heart of Venice Ground of Belonging: The Invisible Garden imagines a garden that exists beyond the visible—no walls, no plants, but a living ecosystem shaped by connection, attention, and care.
Here, individuals, artists, and communities meet on shared ground, cultivating relationships that grow quietly, like seeds in fertile soil. In contrast to a world driven by speed, consumption, and performance, this space offers a subtle form of resistance—where authenticity, collaboration, and listening become the true materials of creation.
Each of the 20 participating artists contributes a gesture, an artwork, a presence—tending to an invisible ecosystem of shared imagination. The garden is not seen, but felt: in the resonance between people and works, in the atmosphere of care, in the networks that form through attention and mutual respect.
Ground of Belonging transforms the idea of the garden into a metaphor for human and artistic interdependence—delicate, interconnected, and alive in its invisibility.
