Raised Forest Cabin

Raised up on stilts to meet the level of the rocky landscape, this unique wooden cabin is beautifully embedded into a rocky Canadian forest. Designed by Natalie Dionne Architecture studio, the minimalist house strives towards symbiosis with the surrounding environment, it is perched on a boulder that is raised three metres above ground level, and on stilts that meet the level of this rock. Wood, of course, dominates a restrained palette of materials, both inside and outside, with the prematurely aged plank cladding, exposed framework, and various other interior finishes showcasing all the richness of the natural material.
