A CABIN IN THE WOODS

A CABIN IN THE WOODS

Hays Cabin is a small, self-sufficient retreat set within a forest landscape. Designed to operate independently from conventional infrastructure, the cabin combines a compact footprint with a simple material palette that connects it to its surroundings.

The cabin brings together a compact enclosed volume and an extended outdoor deck. The pitched roof defines the interior volume, while the double-height living area creates a sense of openness within the small footprint.

The interior is organized to make the most of every square meter. Built-in elements and carefully arranged functions allow different activities to coexist within a small footprint, while maintaining an open and connected living space.
