So, where did the idea come from? Caspar Schols had just finished a university degree in physics when his Mother asked him to build a garden cabin. With no architectural education, Casper drew on his vision to create a ‘dynamic connection between man, nature and home’. The cabin should be a ‘flexible space where she could read or paint, organise family dinners, and where her grandchildren could give theatre performances- But above all else, the cabin had to bring her closer to nature.’ The idea for cabin ANNA was born.
The structure is made up of a central conservatory nestled between two permanent structures and works in much the same way as you might dress for the weather – peeling away layers as the clouds clear and the temperature rises.
Great walls slide back to reveal the open-sky – under which you can sleep, bathe, read and gather.
On chillier days, the structure can be covered and a wood burning stove – helps to heat the space, all the while still ensuring you feel at one with nature.
Could you imagine staying here? I’d love to hear your thoughts on the indoor-outdoor living concept!
Såååå, That’s it from me this week. Thank you so much for stopping by and for all your comments – I might not always be quick to respond, but I love to read each and very one of them. Right now it feels even more important to be a part of a community that’s based on peace, love and respect – and I thank you all for helping to create that right here.
Stor kram (big hug to you all),
Niki
