Cabins in the Trees by AOE Architect is a Hotel that Gives You The Experience of Staying in the Jungle CanopyIn Guilin, Guangxi, China, there is a hotel that offers a charming area that showcases nature’s beauty by providing lush trees and a little running river. The magnificent hotel, called the Guilin Lebei Homestay Hotel, was designed and developed by aoe architects, who were inspired by local traditional structures that serve as a kind of shelter with a wide view and designed to keep people safe and out of danger.The structure is elevated 5 meters above the ground and aligned with the forest canopy. It is made up of 13 different units, each with its unique set of forms, regions, and shapes. Each unit is estimated to be 27 square meters, divided into two levels: the first contains a main hall that may be used by adults, while the second serves as a play area or a child's bedroom. A climbing ladder connects the two stories.A raised walkway connects the hotel units and features slides, slings, and other entertainment facilities. It also has a garden and resting areas where you may admire the trees.Images by: Runzi Zhu #Cabin #Homestay #hotel #canopy

This Adjustable Cabin Is The Perfect House For Any OccasionThere are houses that each fit certain occasions, but this particular cabin turns out to be perfect for all of them.Meet ANNA, a cabin designed by Caspar Schols. It's a house that you can adjust to perfectly match every moment you might have with family and friends. You can literally stretch it to have a good view of the outside world from within your home. Or maybe you wanted to host a party then extending it would help you fit more people. The side walls of the ANNA cabin consist of a solid outer wall with an attached metal roof and an inner framed wall with glass roof. Both walls are set on tracked wheels, which can be pushed in and out independent of one another by hand.  When the outer wall is pushed outwards, the inner frame walls and glass roof remain to create an inside space that is open to a lot of natural lights but with a top cover to protect the occupants from the elements. When both walls are pushed out, the interior space is fully open to nature.There’s just so much we can do with the ANNA cabin. Its excellent ability to adapt makes it the perfect house for life's many occasions. This multi-purpose cabin clinched the world-class 2021 Architizer A+ Awards Project of the Year Award. It is an architectural masterpiece!Don't miss the video clips below.Images: Caspar Schols#cabin #Architizer #housearchitecture #architecture 
The Bird Island House: A Rest Stop For Migrating BirdsLocated in Lac Léman in Préverenges, Switzerland, is the Bird Island House — or if you prefer its original French name, La Maison de l'Île aux Oiseaux. The Bird Island House will serve as a rest stop for birds migrating from Africa to the Arctic tundra.Each part of the cabin draws inspiration from things related to birds, like the curved ramp towards the main entrance, which looks like a bird’s tail, as well as the circular windows, which reference common birdhouse designs.On the structure’s exterior are glue-free boards with tiny pieces of wood, which will serve as the place where the birds can rest.Inside the cabin, meanwhile, are wooden shelves filled with wooden bird models. A box, which contains the small kitchen and toilets, can also be found inside the cabin.Last but not least, is the element that adds the most character in the Bird Island House: the large glass window found beside the front door, which gives the public a perfect view of the cabin’s interior.The structure is built by the Swiss firm Localarchitecture, in accordance with the request of the Lausanne ornithology club. The firm hopes that the structure will “raise awareness among the public and the region’s schoolchildren of issues around nature protection, the climate, and the impact of human activities on the loss of stopover sites for migratory waders”.#birds #ornithology #BirdMigration #Switzerland #Cabin(Image Credit: Matthieu Gafsou, courtesy of Localarchitecture via Dwell)
