And, although cabins are not for everyone, we’re sure you can find at least a little bit of inspiration in these amazing designs.

“Cabin” in the forest was the project of Tomek Michalski who envisioned it as an isolated capsule, a compact a frame shelter where one can disconnect from the virtual world and reconnect with nature. Both the cabin and its interior were designed to have minimal impact on the surroundings and the site. There’s a really strong contrast between the cold dark forest and the warm interior of the cabin where all the wood showcases its beautiful grain for everyone to see.

Savioz Fabrizzi Architectes redesigned an 1878 barn in a secluded area 1760 meters above sea level in Anzere, Switzerland. The building kept its character over the years despite the modifications and changes that were meant to improve its functionality and comfort. Sitting in an open area, the cabin offers amazing views of the Alps. The rough stone facades protect it from the harsh climate.
