Chicken Point Cabin. By Tom Kundig

The Chicken Point Cabin Located in Idaho, USA, was designed by Tom Kundig, an architect that draws inspiration from a mechanical perspective which can be seen in his design. His solution to the clients brief was very literal but ingenious in his execution. Here a short description written by the Olson Kundig Architects.

"The idea for the cabin is that of a lakeside shelter in the woods—a little box with a big window that opens to the surrounding landscape. The cabin’s big window-wall (30 feet by 20 feet) opens the entire living space to the forest and lake. Materials are low maintenance—concrete block, steel, concrete floors and plywood—in keeping with the notion of a cabin, and left unfinished to naturally age and acquire a patina that fits in with the natural setting. The cabin sleeps ten. (Interiors by Olson Kundig Architects.)"
