The wooden cabins are placed among the trees as if they were just floating above the ground. The hikers can find a tidy and safe place in-between the trees to spend the night in the forms of our designed cabins.

The wooden units are placed on the trees chosen on the spot. The roots of the trees are used as natural foundations of the cabins. A pair of beams are fixed to the sides of two suitable trunks, which beams clasp a cabin.

Using the same basic structure, the wooden units have three different functions: a sleeping cabin, a sauna cabin and a community cabin.

The basic wooden structure is placed on the bottom pair of beams and it is this structure that the further wooden panels can be attached to. The cabin is fixed by the top pair of beams, and it has a roof of profiled metal sheet.

The timbers are cut into the proper size and the panels are ready-made when transported to the spot. The panels are put on the basic structure according to the functions of the cabin. The sleeping cabin has panels of two layers, the sauna has those of two layers but insulated ones and the community cabin is made up of latticed panels.

The pre-fabricated units are transported to the spot by lorry.
Every connecting joint uses screws and thus, assembling a cabin on the spot doesn’t need anything more than a few hand tools.
The relative position of the cabins may change at each location. They may be closer or further away from one another. Although the cabins are type designs, the position of the cabins is unique in each case as it accommodates well to the demands of the given location.
