Minimal and Rustic Interiors

The internal walls and ceilings, designed to be in plywood, manage to keep the cabin simple and rustic. Thanks to the large windows, the occupants are immersed in the surrounding landscape. Natural light is able to filter in on all sides of the house. Energy consumption is kept to a minimum.
