The interplay between different levels offers the possibility to better manage storage spaces and technical compartments, while contributing to the definition Minimal and flexible, with the expansive glass wall facing the terrace, the space feels light and contemplative. ‘We paid special attention to the design of the interior space. The summer sun creates different plays of light and shadow inside at different times of the day. The wall that encloses the tiny bathroom houses a fold-out bed that, when open, floats above the sofa. The third and final level, to which one descends after passing through the entrance, is the one that defines the largest area and extends onto the terrace. On the entry-level, there is a countertop that extends across the entire right wall, directing the visitor’s gaze outward while also serving as a seating area, desk, and storage area. Upon entering the cabin, occupants are immediately offered a view of the valley below, mediated by a series of elements that divide the interior space into three different levels. The entrance door is characterized by a pronounced boarding, and is accessible by a footpathįlexible interiors offering expansive valley views The glazing follows the modularity of the brise-sole, which overhangs the terrace and in turn continues the roof structure. Here, the interior space merges into a terrace separated by four floor-to-ceiling glass panels, one of which can be opened. In the southeast, the hut has a fully glazed wall that opens to the valley. The walls that delimit the hut, enclosing it on three sides, are covered with horizontally arranged plywood panels. It is located facing northwest, with an entrance door characterized by a pronounced boarding, accessible by a footpath. The structure has the shape of a rectangular cantilevered volume perpendicular to the steep slope. With this project, the Italian studio seeks to address current environmental and social needs, starting from minimalist living and a close relationship with nature. The design of llabb’s Hermitage was based on a process of experimentation with a simple and modular system, made entirely of wood. Minimalist living and close relationship with nature The Hermitage cabin is located in Italy’s Trebbia Valley in the heart of the ApenninesĪll images courtesy of Anna Positano, Gaia Cambiaggi | Studio Campo The resulting structure can be used as a studio, retreat, tea room, or guest house. Elaborating on modernist themes and drawing inspiration from Japanese teahouses and Scandinavian huts, the cabin is raised off the ground and incoporates a fully glazed wall offering expansive views of the surrounding forest. Located in Italy’s Trebbia Valley in the heart of the Apennines, the structure is dry-sited and off-grid, built by the team during a 15-day construction workshop. Italian architecture firm llabb has completed Hermitage, a 12 sqm wooden cabin designed as a space for contemplation and introspection.
