Cabin architecture

Earthboat, a mobile cabin built entirely from Japanese cedar cross-laminated timber (CLT), presents a new blueprint for eco-conscious tourism. Designed by PAN-PROJECTS, a London-based architectural design studio led by Japanese architects Yuriko Yagi and Kazumasa Takada, Earthboat is a self-contained nature retreat with no solid foundations: the cabins can be relocated as needed. Earthboat Earthboat   Sustainable cabins revitalising Japan’s rural landscapes Earthboat is not confined to a single location. The cabins are dispersed across rural areas of northern-central Japan, primarily located in Nagano Prefecture and Gunma Prefecture. The foundation-free, almost floating design of the cabins minimises their environmen... More

Nestled above the ground, surrounded by river and trees, nortehaus was designed as a getaway and grounding space, away, but not too far from the city. Drawing from Nordic and Japanese influences, nortehaus honours simplicity, good company, sustainability, and all things hygge.

Resolving the problems of the shrinking, ageing population of villages with few job opportunities is one of the challenges Hungary needs to tackle.

In 2016, as part of its educational activities, the studio purchased a 2-hectare plot of land in the breathtaking Balaton Uplands as the v... More

A typology of cabin, a tiny house lost in the wilderness, is a must in contemporary architecture. Hidden from curious gazes, it embodies a dream of a rural lifestyle combined with urban comfort. That is exactly how we envisioned The Cabin – a prefab compact house assembled at our own Delo Design manufacture in St. Petersburg, Russia. Equipped with the essentials and almost ready to use, the unit is then delivered right to the site.  The Cabin is easy to transfer and install, thus minimizing the intrusion into surrounding landscape. The unit is a plug-and-live solution: it is simply connected to utility systems and ready to house its inhabitants.  The Cabin's architecture is shaped by the key values of Delo Design which are...
