A (Modern) Cabin in the Woods

Craigslist is a great way to advertise your business as well as find new clients that are soliciting work. However, it’s a bit of a drag when those potential clients that are soliciting work turns out to not be legit. The cabin project falls into the latter category. Someone had asked for concept submissions for a modern self contained cabin to be located in Northern Arizona. As I had just about all of the modeling completed, the post on craigslist was marked as a scam. However, I decided to finish the project as a new promotional piece. The cabin draws its inspiration from the “Design It” Guggenheim Shelter Competitions, which can be seen here. The cabin consists of two main sections – the living room that is designated as the “public” space, and the master bedroom that serves as the “private” space. The living room section also contains the kitchen, dining area and a bathroom. Typically, a getaway cabin is sparsely decorated, as most people are only there for a couple of weeks during the year. Therefore, I incorporated large windows throughout the living room section to allow nature to become the artwork and decoration through the apartment. This concept is featured throughout the entire cabin. Over the kitchen, there is a large skylight with a hanging metal sculpture. The bathroom is has a simple, clean, modern look that complements the rest of the cabin. Like the shelter, the master bedroom portion of the cabin sticks out over the water, and has a massive curved window facing the lake. The master bedroom also has a rather unique gas powered fireplace that has a glass back, so the light of the fireplace can be enjoyed from the outer deck. The bedroom also has its own modern bathroom with a deep soaker tub for maximum relaxation. The tub is surrounded by glass so the user can enjoy all of the surrounding nature, which provides a serene calm setting for anyone to enjoy. The overall effect is a beautiful modern structure that takes advantage of the surrounding nature from all sides.
