MAPLE - RETREAT CABIN

Location : Wayanad, Kerala

Site Area: 595 sq.m

Overview:

The project is a attempt to design a retreat cabin in the woods of Wayanad at the close proximity of a stream. Located at a serene location the design takes full advantage of the site conditions by the increased use of glass to blur the differences between the indoors and outdoors.

Concept:

Tilt To 360

To capture the panaromic view of the vista and to provide shade to the outdoor wooden deck the volume of the first floor is tilted to orient the stream. Having said that the site has contours, by grading the lower part of the land at higher altitude the roadway is accessed easily and it facilitates better views
