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.

  • Big Barn

    North of San Francisco, in Glen Ellen, a less populated part of the Napa wine country, the culture has been based on agriculture and was named for an original winery.  Jack London made this his permanent home here in the early 1900s. Drawn by the land, London believed in the redemptive qualities of rural life. Less than an hour from the City, rolling hills covered with groves of oak trees surround the downtown. The strong agricultural history has affected the built environment here with many examples of barn like houses that are confusingly morphed between the two vocabularies. On the existing footprint of a 1950’s ranch house, this family getaway evolved in response to a request for a retreat from their urban lifestyle. The atmosphere of a tack barn renovated into a bunk house on site inspired thoughts of a larger barn like typology for this main house of 3,900 square feet. The request from the client was to build in a consistent way within the rolling hills dappled with agricultural buildings. A simple, rectangular, two-story form emerged with an asymmetrical gabled roof. The shorter side of the roof faces the southwest sun and reduces heat gain to the structure. Fenestration is limited to this exposure as well and is organized like thin full height ventilation shutters that reference traditional barn building. The entry, a larger version of the vertical slit elements is recessed for shading. The fireplace and chimney, foreign to the barn typology, is displaced from the structure with glazed joints. The east side is more open to the view and morning sun. A continuous, building-sized assembly of steel sash glazing includes large sliding doors that pocket into the adjacent wall and open the kitchen to the rear terrace.  The upper zone of the main space is void of windows and reminds one of the empty shell-like spaces of barns. A large vertical wood shutter located on the southeast gable end is aligned axially with an internal access through the plan on both levels. When open at both ends, prevailing breezes flow through the mass cooling it naturally. In order to leave the hillside intact and avoid grading, the form is excavated into the site uphill and cantilevered over it downhill. A steel grated bridge connects the upper sleeping level with the hillside and tack barn above. A minimal material pallet of reclaimed redwood, corrugated Corten steel and black steel sash windows combined with integral gutters, and lack of overhangs further the minimal feeling of the construction. Inside the singular materiality is continued via California Oak for floors wall and ceilings. Radiantly heated floors and minimal cooling provided only at sleeping areas, coupled with enhanced glazing, insulation and mechanical system efficiencies mitigate energy use.
