Project 1 Submission (WIP) Pt. 1

Since I'm on a roll, may as well continue with this blog while I take a break from my project 1 work.
So I started out by searching for nice huts with modern designs and relatively modern concepts and here's what I've found :




Building Name: Rolling Huts
Architect:  OSKA Architects (Olson Sundberg Kundig Allen Architects)
Concept: Seclusive Nature Retreat

Building Information:
Rolling Huts is located in Washington’s Methow Valley. It was designed as a modern alternative to camping by Tom Kundig of  in Seattle, the six huts are grouped as a herd, each with views of the mountains. The construction of each hut is simple. It is, in essence, an offset, steel clad box on a steel and wood platform. Living occurs not only in the 200 sq ft inside the box, but on the 240 sq ft of covered deck space surrounding it. Interior finishes are cork and plywood which are simple, inexpensive, and left as raw as possible. Exteriors are durable, no-maintenance materials, namely steel, plywood and car-decking.
