DISEMBARKED

“The cabin in the forest, on the banks of a quiet lake or buried in the wilderness back of beyond, is an expression of man’s desire to escape the exactions of civilization and secure rest and seclusion by a return to the primitive.” ~ From the epigraph of William A. Bruette’s 1934 book, Log Camps & Cabins. A Green Retreat in Fairbanks, Alaska.

The natural light go to the inside of the building by the window located on the south. Lay on. All the functions that guest need during their stay are closed in the box. Side. All the buildings are connected by the wooden path.

Independent retreat (nature balance)

The inspiration behind this project was Alaska’s wilderness and rich heritage, with its diverse materials, patterns and colours. These are reflected by four different shapes of the units, their colours and the use of natural materials. The strong farming tradition in this region and the native cultural heritage, are a part of this proposal.
