Leeward Cabin

Three rooms in a row under one roof. Everything arrived by track vehicle, so nothing weighs more than two people can carry.

The site in Åre set the terms before we drew anything. Wind decides everything on the ridge. The cabin is low, and its long side faces the lee.

A stove sits between the living room and the bunk room and heats both.

We worked from a 1:50 model for most of the design stage and kept it on site through construction. Where the model and the drawings disagreed, the model usually won.
