The extremely steep nature of the site left this remote piece of state unoccupied and wild for a long time just and so, in 2015, someone decided it would make a perfect place for a holiday dwelling house. The site is situated in Inverness, Canada and is exposed to the harsh atmospheric condition that bring with them heavy rainstorms, salt spray and strong winds.

Considering of that, the cabin had to exist able to withstand all of that and that meant it needed to accept a robust structural organisation. At the same time, the owners wanted information technology to bear witness their great respect for nature and that in turn meant a minimal footprint.

The nature of the site, all the same, was not the starting point for the project. Information technology all started with the thought of a cabin in the centre of nature, in a remote and wild area where its owners could escape their busy lives and observe some peace every once in a while.

Those in charge of the early stages of the project were Blueprint Base eight, an architecture and design studio led by three talented professionals: Garrett Helm, Jon Siani and Jon Wilson. They started the projection and and then reached out to Omar Gandhi Architects. This resulted in a collaboration on the last design, the details and the structure process.

For the team at Omar Gandhi Architects, the collaboration between builder and client is at the base of everything and the land on which a construction is congenital straight influences and shapes the blueprint. Their focus is on custom modernistic blueprint and believe that good architecture doesn't need to be expensive, all ideas that are reflected into the design of the cabin.

The architects, designs and clients agreed that the environment should be put on display and that the design of the cabin should encourage occupants to get out and explore their surroundings. In order to also comply with the need for a minimal footprint, they designed the cabin in the grade of a alpine tower.

The belfry has two viewing platforms from where expansive views can be enjoyed. One looks directly towards the ocean and the other is aligned with the valley. They both sit higher up the tree canopies. From upward here, the environs with their steep slopes, gorges, forests and rocky cliffs look amazing and a lot less intimidating.

On the ground floor, the entry and the bedrooms were located. This leaves the social areas on the upper levels from where the views are most beautiful. A double-height kitchen and a dining room tin be found on the 2d floor while the third floor is reserved for a spacious living expanse.

The elevated position of the site allows the motel to offer panoramic views of the entire property and beyond. But the views weren't the only business concern. The architects and designers had to discover a fashion to maintain a lightweight advent and to minimize the footprint while making sure the cabin has a strong construction and is sheltered from heavy winds, rain and everything else nature throws at it.
