ANNA Stay is a dynamic home in the shape of an open platform to live with rather than against the elements, by playing with the configuration of the layers of the house.
The cabin has two different ‘shells’ as outer walls, supported on rails.
The inner wall consists of a framework of wood and glass and is separated from the roofed wooden outer wall.
By shifting the shells, different setups are possible to align with your mood, the occasion or weather conditions.
Thanks to its ability to adapt and change, ANNA reflects the beautiful changes taking place outdoors.
Such as the sun emerging after a torrential rainstorm bathing the living room in light, a flock of swallows swarming above the opened roof, a sudden gust of wind blowing through the dining space, or the ripples of the nearby lake reflecting on the facade to provide dynamic patterns.
The cabin is just another organism within the larger eco-system.
Due to its quick assembly it is suitable for the most secluded areas.
The cabin is surprisingly light so, in most cases, does not need a foundation.
Some soil types may require a screw foundation, which can be installed by one of our partners in half a day.
ANNA Stay comes with an indoor bathroom with shower, flush toilet, a fully furnished kitchen and plenty of storage space.
ANNA provides room for up to 2 kingsize beds to have the ultimate sleeping experience. If required, it can be equipped with a central heating installation.
The cabin is designed so that it can be delivered either in one piece or as a flatpack fitted in a container.
In flatpack ANNA Stay can technically be built at any location in the world.
ANNA Stay derives its stability from a unique structure that has its origin in buildings such as railway stations, which rely only on the side walls for structural integrity, just like ANNA.
That’s where the beautifully crafted wood trusses come from.
The dominant material is inland Douglas fir indoors, combined with Birch ply.
Outdoors the cabin is finished in inland Larch fir. Most wood is left untreated.
With ANNA,we want to seduce people to experience living outdoors and create a deeperconnection towards nature.
We dream of a selected network of locally built ANNAsat stunning natural locations around the world, creating opportunities forlocal employment.
At these locations, tourists can experience the beauty ofnature in a safe and comfortable environment. We believe the enhancement ofthis sensitivity towards nature will result in more love and care for our nature andtherefore, the planet.
