Chicken Point Cabin Analysis

Designed by Tom Kundig, The Chicken Point Cabin is Located in Idaho, USA. Throughtout Kundig's design is can be seen that he draws inspiration from a mechanical perspective, and the way he portrays this in his work is something to behold.

Olson Kundig Architects described the design by saying:"The idea for the cabin is that of a lakeside shelter in the woods—a little box with a big window that opens to the surrounding landscape. The cabin’s big window-wall (30 feet by 20 feet) opens the entire living space to the forest and lake. Materials are low maintenance—concrete block, steel, concrete floors and plywood—in keeping with the notion of a cabin, and left unfinished to naturally age and acquire a patina that fits in with the natural setting. The cabin sleeps ten. (Interiors by Olson Kundig Architects.)"
