‘Cardrona Cabin’

This cabin showcases New Zealand material, detail and craft in the alpine environment. Sited in the Cardrona Valley the building demonstrates the Abodo range of thermally modified timber products in practice: cladding, structure, linings, flooring, fenestration, joinery, furnishing and fence posts showcase the products.

The unconventional shape of the building land plus the required six-meter strip retreat along to the street guided the project implementation.

The house was designed from clear volumes, natural materials, seeking cross ventilation, natural lighting and a delicate fit into the building site.

Designed for a young couple and their children, the project's premise was to guarantee full visual domain, the house develops around a central courtyard connecting the three well-defined wings: service, social and intimate, which all open completely to the central courtyard, allowing the house to be fully connected.

The harmony and visual harmony of each building component while respecting its surrounding has emphasized the greater integration of nature and architecture.

‘Project Ö’

The buildings pay a tribute to the traditional Finnish archipelago aesthetics, with cabled roof, long eaves, extended gutters and vertical cladding. The shape of the cabins is long and narrow, which allows for large window surfaces with varying views, as well as possibilities for very different types of functions at the opposite ends of the building; for example, sundowner drinks with friends at one end, while the kids are sleeping in the other.
