We are drawn to modern architecture here at The Culture Curators. Today we get a look at a stunning modern design that is sustainable and easy on the land. The M.o.r.e. Cabin is extraordinary. The dwelling is suspended in the trees of a forest in Quebec. The forest-dwelling has a sustainable redesign that preserves the native flora while providing unrivaled views of the area. The home consists of a volume clad in low-waste cross-laminated timber.
Perched on a steel mast and cantilevering over a hillside, the design was constructed to prevent disruption to the land. The mast is held in place by a single concrete footing, which minimizes the need for concrete. It also lowers the project’s carbon footprint. The exterior is also fitted with bat houses that are home to the area’s endangered brown bats.
The structure operates entirely off-grid. Power is sourced from solar units, while breezes and cross-ventilation provide cooling. The home also features a high-efficiency “green carbon” wood stove for heat. The modern dwelling is certainly eye-catching and intriguing.
Take a closer look at the stunning cabin in the images below and find out more about the design from Kariouk Architects. In the meantime, keep it locked with The Culture Curators for more outstanding architecture and modern design coming soon.
