Narrative

The brief circled the idea of the cabin: solitude, separation and self-reflection. The work sits in the distance between shelter and feeling — how a small, singular structure can hold the sensation of home rather than merely the function of it.

Development happened almost entirely by hand. Perspective sketches were used as a thinking tool, testing volume, threshold and sightline before anything was drawn to scale.

Key decisions

  • A single occupant treated as the entire client body
  • Volume and threshold resolved through conceptual hand drawing
  • Inspired in part by the work of Es Devlin

Nicole's role and scope
