Lakeside Cabin in Northern Idaho by Olson Kundig Architects
Situated in a rural area of Northern Idaho, this lakeside shelter in the woods called Chicken Point Cabin is original designed by Olson Kundig Architects. The small cabin is shapes like a little box with a big window that opens the entire living space to the forest and lake. This is the cabin sleeps ten with the design concept is composed of basically three parts: a concrete block box with a plywood insert and a 4-foot diameter steel fireplace. 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. Open interior spaces are intended to be a seamless extension to the natural setting. A 19-foot tall steel entry door can accommodate long skis.
