SHORT DESCRIPTION

A cabin on a site facing the sea. The utmost importance was to open the Cabin towards the view, and even giving a view from the backside through the Cabin towards the beautiful seaview. This transparency is strengthened by the solution of having the dining table to stretch out to the open landscape giving a spectacular experience in social settings. Excessive use of wood is environmentally friendly, as it is renewable and as well CO2-binding, and therefore not contributing to CO2-emissions during production. Wood contributes as well to the wellbeing inside the house, as wood acts as regulator of humidity. The wood Kebony Clear is extremely durable, and reduces maintenance costs, as the wood is aging by work of nature, reaching silver gray and endurable patina through the years to come, becoming more and more beautiful and more adapted to the surrounding nature.
