Aluminum Cottage Reinforces the Love of Camping

— January 26, 2010 — Art & Design
The aluminum cottage was designed by Toyo Ito and Associates and features one of the strongest camping structures Ive ever seen. Its interior is bright and clean and quite spacious. The aluminum cottage should make sure you never have to be afraid of battling the elements again.

Have you ever stayed at one of those old rustic cottages on a secluded lake only to find out there’s no insulation, no real cover from the rain and no real way to keep critters out who feel it a good idea to be your bunk mates? I definitely have had that experience which is why when I came across the aluminum cottage I could feel a small tear run down my face at the joyous thought of knowing I would never have to go through that again.
