5 key facts about this project
The Forest Cabin is located in a dense woodland area, designed to bring people closer to nature. Its main purpose is to serve as a retreat, emphasizing a strong connection to the outdoors. The design focuses on openness, allowing natural surroundings to flow into the living space.
Design Integration
The cabin features a glass shell that lets in ample light and provides wide views of the forest. By eliminating conventional barriers found in typical buildings, the design opens up to the landscape on three sides. This approach enhances the atmosphere inside the cabin, creating a calm and inviting environment for occupants.
Sustainable Practices

A seating area by the window encourages occupants to appreciate the natural landscape outside. Practical elements, like storage solutions and a movable water container, enhance the cabin's usability without complicating its simple aesthetic.
The cabin also includes mosquito nets on all openings. This detail allows for an open connection to the natural surroundings while keeping occupants comfortable. It emphasizes the relationship between the cabin and the forest, offering a genuine experience of the woodland atmosphere.
