The November 2021 architecture innovations include several cabin-inspired designs for the modern world. One noteworthy and heartwarming home design is Vokin Kusic's rural Bosnian home that can spin 360 degrees. Kusic designed and built the house to provide a full view of the property, giving a new meaning to panoramic views.
Another prominent example is the Kilmakabine built from OSB and stone pine. The climate-controlled micro-cabin sauna harnesses the sense of relaxation one finds in woodland cabins. The micro-cabin provides a view of the surrounding nature while maintaining a sense of privacy.
Recent architectural designs focus on the inclusion of nature and the building's surroundings. This creates a sense of oneness and balance between the indoor and outdoor spaces.
