CABINS entry by iyra
i was highly impressed by the designing and the thought process behind the design and the way it is structured around the trees .I am currently in the cabin modelling stage.

The book CABINS by Philip Jodidio and the fantastic illustrations by Marie-Laure Cruschi served as the principal inspiration for this year’s challenge theme. That, and my love for prefab architecture design.

Testing out the terrain. I have completed the cabin model and planning to add more detailing as I move forward.
Last year I had the chance to visit milford sounds in new zealand and I was shocked and overwhelmed by the mountains, waterfalls and pristine nature, since then I´ve been thinking about doing a project where I could imagine mi ideal cabin in a place like that
I was truly inspired by the Tree Snake Cabins, designed by the Portuguese architects Luís + Tiago Rebelo de Andrade. The photos on ArchDaily feature the cabins in the pine woods somewhere deep in the mainland. I decided to reposition them on a steep rocky slope going down to the ocean. The horizontal body of the cabin would form a nice contrast to the thin vertical pine trees. The floor plan organisation would basically remain the same, but I imagine the facade more minimalist and with diagonal wood cladding.
I was randomly googling “epic cliff” and “kitesurf beach”, when I found a photo of Cabo da Roca in Portugal and imagined a bright sunny day, the two cabins on the burning hot rocks and a view of a couple of kitesurfers enjoying the wind and the ocean.
Anyway it’s just some first thoughts.
When growing up, I regularly visited my family in Ireland, from here we used to escape to a little coastal fishing village located in Sheephaven Bay called Downings.
We used to visit the same chalet every year, in front of this chalet there was a house. There was a tale of a local Artist that residedhere, on the headland, just above the crashing waves of the wild north Atlantic ocean.
Directly in front of this house was a dramatic landscape of the ocean, beaches and peaks beyond them. I wondered where he would escape to gain inspiration for his art; if he looked out at the same dramatic view everyday, does he perfect the same landscape over and over? does he move about around the bay? I concluded that he probably has some other secluded favourite places where he takes himself and his thoughts.
I shall endeavour to realise these places around scenic Donegal settings.
The cabin is located deep inside the forest with a vast expansive view of mountains and vegetation behind it.
