Geometric Wooden Cabins that Wow and Delight: Innovative Ideas for Everyone

It is nice to sometimes move away from your regular home and spend some time in a structure that ushers in the holiday vibe and offers a more relaxing refuge. That is just what you get with a wooden cabin that ushers in a natural, holiday vibe even when it sits right in your backyard! A wooden cabin takes you far away from the more polished and ‘concrete’ man-made finishes and the warmth of wood gives a welcoming vibe. Since most of us tend to associate the image of a cabin with holiday in the woods, it is easy to turn a small cabin into a great and engaging escape for the entire family.

Tiny Workstation Cabin in the backyard with modern geometric style












While there are plenty of cabins that you might have come across all these years on Decoist, today we take a look at trio of unique and exclusive cabins that blend geometric contrast and style with the classic cabin look. One sits on the edge of a pond in Czech Republic while another is a small wooden structure in the backyard that serves as office space. Then there is the third that is the perfect tiny house for a couple who wish to get away from it all… Pick the gorgeous cabin that you love the most!

Geometric Office in the Backyard

The Workstation Cabin is a design that allows you turn pretty much any small backyard into a perfect little setting for your home office, kids’ playzone, a retreat that helps you get some ‘me’ time and a whole lot more. The 15-sided wooden structure sits on metallic stilts and ensures that is absolutely no damage to the flora on the lot while glass walls connect the interior with the scenery outside seamlessly. Simple metallic stairs lead up to the interior of the wooden cabin and on the inside, a custom desk and chair maintain the exceptional geo style that the cabin exudes. Strips of LED lighting and angular walls put the final touches on these space-savvy cabins.

Tiny Triangular Hideaway

The Grand Cabin by Hello Wood takes an entirely different direction when it comes to bringing geometric charm to the classic cabin design. Instead of using a minimal and contemporary form, this little cabin relies on the traditional A-frame design and does so while accommodating just a single occupant or a couple at its very best. You can even expand the design to fit in more folk and with the right décor, this little cabin can offer a great staycation in your own backyard as you escape the global pandemic.

Lovely Cottage next to the Pond in Czech Republic paints a picture of serenity

Inspired by traditional fishing huts, we propose a small cottage on the shore of a pond nestled in the picturesque landscape of the Vysočina region. Its size is limited by legislation. The maximum built-up area of 50 m2 and the maximum height of 5 m require a specific layout for family recreation. The building consists of four small masses, three interconnected and the fourth torn off, standing nearby.

    The clients are a couple of environmental scientists who, along with their two sons, relocated from the Oakland Hills to the warmer climate of Orinda. Their commitment to sustainability, including a request for net-zero energy performance annually, was evident in their thinking throughout the design process. A three-bedroom program began as a remodel of a 1954 ranch house at the foot of a hill next to a seasonal creek.  After finding the existing structure and soils to be unsuitable, the direction settled on reusing the existing footprint under the shade of a Valley Oak that had grown up close to the original house. The surviving portion of the original house is the fireplace which was wrapped in concrete and utilized for structural support. This made additional grading unnecessary and allowed the new house to maintain the same intimate relation to the old oak.  The family desired an open living layout that connected directly to the landscape. A mezzanine plan evolved with a double height family space nested with a master bedroom and study stacked above the kitchen and nook. A screened pacing deck for long phone calls shades the upper level from afternoon summer sun. Downstairs, secondary bedrooms along an extendable hallway, wrap an outdoor dining area situated between the kitchen and family room.  Construction materials and methods were considered in balance between first and lifecycle costs. The Corten steel rain screen for the exterior skin and interior wood were chosen to take advantage of zero annual maintenance cost and a shotcrete foundation allowed formwork to be repurposed for wood framing.  Single use material selections such as the Corten steel and shotcrete foundation reduced complexity in detailing and labor costs allowing a larger portion of the budget to be reallocated for upgraded mechanical, insulation, and glazing systems. The same attitude for interior finishes produced acoustically insulated, unfinished oak ceilings and walls. The sum total of the limited and landscape-driven materials presents a relaxed and quiet built environment that allows the senses to focus on the natural environment. A haptic connection to the rhythms of our planet is evident.  A 14-gauge Corten rain screen provides a no-maintenance skin. High levels of insulation and glazing efficiency reduce heating and cooling loads. An 8.1kW photovoltaic system provides on-site renewable energy and produced more electrical energy than the house used the first year. Rainwater is collected via a waterfall from the roof at the end of the hallway. Buried tanks store water for use in toilets and laundry. Greywater is collected separately and reused for irrigation. Electronically commutated motors and variable speed heat pumps are used to further limit energy use and control heating and cooling. An energy recovery ventilator is used to provide fresh air.
