I always try to start a project by exploring it in section, trying to capture a particular spacial experience. The A-frame cabin became a natural starting point as the typology has always fascinated me and offers a playful variation on the pitched roof.
While there are exhaustive precedents online it is always nice to start with printed media – my instant go to was the fantastic collection by Cabin Porn that has been a great source of inspiration both visually and through story-telling. I also came upon the Bennati Cabin by Rudolph Schindler, a classic example of the A-frame in LTL’s Manual of Section (a must have for any architecture student).
My next step is to start defining the cabin and making quick decisions before selecting a location and creating a compelling story behind it all.
