5 key facts about this project
The cabin serves as a place for meditation and relaxation, situated in a natural environment that allows for a gentle escape from the busyness of daily life. The design focuses on creating a connection with the outdoors while providing shelter. Users can choose to place the cabin in different locations, whether it is among trees, elevated in the treetops, or even floating on water, depending on their preference.
Structural Form
The cabin is built around a triangular ring structure, giving it a robust form that is visually appealing. This design contributes to both the stability and style of the cabin, allowing it to fit comfortably into various outdoor settings. The simplicity of the layout promotes an inviting atmosphere for reflection and calmness.
Eco-Friendly Technologies
The project incorporates various eco-friendly technologies to lessen its environmental impact. Solar panels are used to supply energy, lighting three LED fixtures for extended periods without additional power sources. Additionally, a solar air heating system draws in air and warms it before it enters the space, helping maintain a comfortable indoor climate without consuming excess energy.
Water Management and Sanitation
Water management is addressed with a grey water filter system made from filter paper, small rocks, sand, and vegetable charcoal. This system ensures that water is treated effectively before returning to the soil. A dry toilet system using sawdust allows for composting of waste, reinforcing the emphasis on ecological responsibility within the design.
Meditation Area Design
The meditation area is framed by removable panels that serve multiple roles. Each panel consists of three layers: an inner mosquito net for small insects, a middle perforated aluminum sheet to keep out larger animals, and an outer polycarbonate sheet that protects against dust, rain, and wind. This structure allows users to adjust their environment according to their needs while remaining connected to the natural world outside.
A wooden platform extends beyond the cabin, offering space for outdoor activities like yoga or simply enjoying the view. This addition invites users to engage with their surroundings, enhancing the experience of tranquility that the cabin aims to provide.
