Minimal, clean lines help the building nestle into its surroundings and reinforce the ESD principles behind its design.
The Chemis Cabin
The owner's installation of extensive lighting throughout the garden adds another dimension to the view from the lounge area when night falls.
The cabin has been sited on the land to enhance the sense of solitude and to maximise solar gain.
By placing the bathtub at the entrance to the cabin, the architect says visitors are immediately made aware of the connection to the surroundings that the design establishes.
At every turn the connection to the verdant outdoor scene is brought to the fore.
The outdoor bathtub allows guests to soak up the tranquility of the private setting and to commune with nature.
The Chemis Cabin
The entry space connects the three 'cells' that comprise the building and compels visitors to venture outside in order to move between the spaces.
