The inspiration for the design was taken from other forest cabins and has been designed with a variety of connected ‘cabins’ with multiple openings to accentuate its relationship with the surrounding nature.

Heading inside the holiday house, the dining area and kitchen share the same room. The large dining table is anchored in the room by a collection of colorful pendant lights hanging from the ceiling. In the kitchen the cabinets have a gold metallic front, adding to the touch of color in the white space.

Around the corner from the kitchen and dining room is the living room. The bright orange couch creates a comfortable spot to sit, while a triangular window provides a unique view of the trees.

In another bedroom, a set of two bunk beds have been custom built into the design of the room. The center wall that separates the bunks has a round hole so that people can easily see and talk to each other.
