Restraint in wild landscapes
A forty-square-meter footprint engineered for extreme coastal climates. Charred timber cladding and triple-glazed glass frame uninterrupted vistas, offering a quiet, uncompromisingly modern sanctuary in the deep wilderness.
Architectural specifications
Every joint, structural connection, and thermal barrier is calculated to withstand severe forest climates. We manage the complex engineering so your micro-dwelling sits lightly on the terrain.
Charred timber
Thermal envelope
Micro footprint
Traditional Shou Sugi Ban cladding provides natural weather resistance, protecting the structure from damp forest environments while ensuring precise landscape integration.
Triple-glazed expansive glass panels and a high-performance thermal envelope maintain absolute interior climate control with minimal energy consumption.
Forty square meters of absolute structural discipline, featuring integrated space-saving systems and custom plywood millwork tailored to your daily rituals.




The Nordic shelter
Stark, dark-toned charred timber exteriors contrast with warm, minimalist plywood interiors. Large windows frame the wild landscape, turning the surrounding forest into the primary architectural focal point.
