Cabin Andrúm (Air)

Project type : Architecture

Status : Proposal

Year : 2019

Location : Iceland

Together with Studio Heima

Air Cabin is located the edge of the mountain, where the dense forest ends and meets the slope. Intimate forest turns into the windy open landscape with a possibility for an undisrupted panoramic view. The experience of meeting the cabin starts with a path in the forest that becomes a bridge, which is designed to be an enering point for the cabin as well as the panoramic plato on its end. The cabin is attached to the bridge and floats in the air, giving a feeling of lightness and unstability.
The cabin can accomodate up to 5 people and is defined by the big openings for panoramic views, double height dining space and a floating window corner, where one can feel being levitated in the air.
Thin steel columns and beams, together with the bridge are designed to be the main structure, as well as the compositional element of the facades. The wooden cabin volume is attached to it.
