This cabin has a 4 module configuration with the layout A and a full glazing wall that walks out to an expansive deck. 

The open concept ground floor plan features ample living space for gathering and entertaining, and a full glazing wall to appreciate nature’s beauty from the comfort of the indoors. At the center of this idyllic cabin lies a minimalist Stuv wood stove, a symbol of warmth and comfort against the backdrop of the lake and mountains beyond. Positioned strategically to offer both practicality and aesthetic appeal, the wood stove becomes the focal point of the cabin’s interior, inviting inhabitants to embrace moments of relaxation and contemplation.

The cabin’s interior is a testament to thoughtful design and meticulous craftsmanship, with every detail carefully curated to evoke a sense of warmth and hospitality. A custom kitchen, resplendent in its simplicity, boasts a spacious island ideal for entertaining guests or preparing meals with ease. 

The integration of the minimal Stuv wood stove is nothing short of perfection—a timeless centerpiece that embodies the spirit of cozy evenings spent in good company, surrounded by the beauty of nature’s embrace.
