Dartmoor Retreat
Portable, recycled and warm… This cabin embraces rust and materiality.
The pre-patinated corrugated steel is deeply scarred with rust from decades of exposure on an agricultural barn. Reclaimed for this cabin, the reddish hues of the cladding blend in with a woodland environment.
Designed as a mobile structure, the large front doors and raised deck allow for the single room to become a part of the landscape. Open, the space is part of the landscape. Closed, the cabin becomes a private warm refuge.
A home office, arts studio, and guest bedroom; the tactile nature of this cabin make it space to enjoy through all seasons.

Warm and tactile, this cabin nestles into the woodland; timber and rusted steel.
