Viewing Vessel Cabin | British Columbia, CAN
CABINS Challenge Competition Entry (2018)
Personal Contributions: Cabin design, visualization, landscape design, 3D environmental modeling.
Collaboration with Ben Emery
This cabin was submitted to an architectural visualization competition intended to feature small-scale architecture in fully modeled 3D environments.
Six modules come together to create a viewing ‘vessel’-- a space where the inhabitant is simultaneously connected to the land, sea and sky. The wood-clad volumes create a simple linear form that sits lightly on the land and hovers over the water.
The landscape was inspired by British Columbia: vast mountain ranges, deep lakes, lush forests and the occasional glimpse of the aurora borealis. The cabin responds to this condition with limited, but direct apertures that frame a series of views.
