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.

Here are the first clay models for the project. I have modeled the basic structure of the Vindheim Cabin. The next phase will be to add more detail to the geometry and then move onto applying the materials of the cabin. These clay images were rendered with corona 1.7 which I will be using for the entirety of the project.
