Marriage of Old and New The woods of northern Iran typically house traditional A-frame cabins with sharp-angled corners. We took the conventional A-frame sloping roof and split it in the center with a hollow glass vertical passage offering an element of surprise. In addition, we also replaced the old-fashioned, sharp-angled corners of A-frame dwellings with a curved-line roof to bring in the sense of warmth and tranquility. The interiors are contemporary and stylish, creating an interesting interplay with the A-frame roof.

Unconventional Façade The sloping A-frame roof and a horizontal concrete slab make the structure look effortlessly suspended above ground. The front façade comprises floor-to-ceiling glass windows offering unobstructed views of the lush green natural surroundings. Cozy and Modern Interiors It has a compact, duplex-style, open-layout interior. The upper level houses the bedroom and the study, while the lower level has an open kitchen and living area. The lower floor also extends to a small outdoor deck with a staircase leading to the ground level.

The cabin has a standing seam metal roofing system and a wood linear ceiling. The wood and the muted-grey interiors create a warm and cozy, homely ambiance. Additionally, the cabin is well-appointed with modern appliances and comforts. One with Nature The reason we designed the ‘Kujdane’ Cabin with a centralised core is so that residents continue to feel one with nature even though they are inside the house. While we were inspired by the traditional triangle roof of every A-frame chalet, we have deconstructed the style and expressed it in our own unique way.
