Architect: Nicholas Mobilia

I was asked to develop a schematic design for a private cabin on a rural site in Warren, PA. Situated on land jointly owned by several families the cabin is intended to serve as a gathering place and weekend home. Two design options were developed.

Version 1 organized the home into two distinct massing volumes - one volume for living and entertaining and another for sleeping spaces. Both volumes are linked by a small entry hall. The living area features an open plan with expansive windows for views out over the property and opens onto a large deck, which serves as an outdoor extension of the space. The exterior incorporates natural materials to help link the cabin to the landscape.
