Text description provided by architect.
The client wanted a cabin for the whole family, but at the same time it needed to be divisible in some way.
The solution was a cluster of three structures, which can be used individually.
Each of the buildings is defined as a clarified geometric volume, organized around the outdoor area that binds them together as one unit.
Toward the northeast, a hill borders and defines the site, together with the view in the opposite direction.
The spatial interaction between landscape and the structure creates a beneficial microclimate.
This is reflected by the structures’ southwest orientation, where the gable end is glazed.
In the other directions the buildings appear more closed.
