Cabin is another spatial and organizational concept that is unfortunately buried by the model's extracurricular structure. The design includes a bathroom, a kitchen and a fireplace. This modest cabin has an interesting aspect that is contained in the sleeping space. The sleeping space is reached through a small sliding panel. The floor becomes the bed (some sort of soft mattress would, of course, be placed on it). The short space which is contained by the sloped roof is at its highest point about 6 feet tall. Thus the “bedroom” becomes a “womb”. But to offer a relief from a potential claustrophobic feeling, the space is almost entirely encased by the “sky door” which when slid fully open offers the inhabitants the ability to sleep “under the skies”. The lowest point of the opening is 3 feet high and acts like a protective balustrade. The bedroom thus can become a lookout, adding to the romance of the space.
