We’ve designed this cabin so that our “keel” doesn’t reach all the way to the façade, creating a lobby that does the job of receiving our clients as well as a place to gaze and admire the cabin. It is here where a tree shape sculpture created with white plastic cups welcomes us. With this Tree, we want to make reference to man’s primary shelter against Nature, which as time passes it will turn into the cabin that we are trying to represent.

Thanks to indirect LED lighting, the initially dark space was transformed into a bright warm ambient that, consequently, cuts down on energetic use.

Here the walls were coated with a warmer material, OSB panels (16 mm.), in contrast with the dark grey walls and ceiling. All the wiring is hidden behind the cabin.
