Typology
Residential › Cabin
The cabin simulates, in an abstract way, the structure of an insect or a butterfly, achieving an organic and symbolic composition without being literal. The design explores curved and wavy shapes that reflect the essence of transformation and metamorphosis, integrating into the forest and evoking a sense of connection with nature.
