Perched high up on Whitsand Bay, the cabin represents a sanctuary and retreat from the pace of modern life. Inspired by Scandinavian hygge principles, the interior has been carefully curated using neutral tones and natural materials to instil a sense of peace, calm and tranquillity, whilst also keeping functionality in mind.
Having received planning permission, the project is currently on-site.
The exterior is clad in black timber and standing seam zinc to compliment the dark tones of rock projecting through the cliff’s vegetation. While the simple shed-like form, and low-pitched roof, responds to the local vernacular of cabins spread along the bay. A Robust design is essential here to withstand the harsh marine environment and prevailing southwest winds.
