The Rock Cabins 

 

Within the framework of our current largest real estate development project in cooperation with Treehouses, we built 6 rock-shaped cabins near Kapolcs. Uniquely, in this project, not only the design but also the construction was done by Hello Wood and even the seamless operation of the resort is our responsibility.

A part of nature

Our main goal when designing the cabins was to create something that blends in with nature completely. Our cabins were inspired by the shapes of rocks, making you feel even more connected with the outdoors during your stay. 

The project was built in Csóromfölde, a former farmstead in Hungary that has been the site of architectural education programs and festivals in previous years. Surrounded by acacia trees and a mystical atmosphere, the pasture area has been classified as a special, educational, and tourist area.

Our aim with building a cabin resort on the premises was to replace intermittent use with year-round usage, taking into account the natural values and further enhancing them by permanent management. Altogether, six unique cabins were built on the land alongside the necessary auxiliary buildings such as the reception building and catering pods.

 
 

Architectural Concept

The main intention behind the project was to build a cabin resort that blends in perfectly with the landscape of fields and hills. The organic forms of the cabins create a link between the natural and the built environment. The use of wood for the houses suggests naturalness, reminiscent of the materials (outbuildings, fences, gable walls) that were always present in traditional architecture.

The lightweight construction technology allows for prefabrication, minimizing on-site construction work. The Rocks were designed to evoke the mood of runestones and are arranged in a way that blends perfectly with the landscape.

 
 

Green Space Concept - Landscape protection

While designing and building the cabin resort, we focused on protecting the landscape as much as possible which we achieved by using organic forms and materials, as well as restraining the scale of the project. The cabin structures we created are temporary and movable, just like the hay bales of the land. The timber cladding ages beautifully, changing and blending into the green environment. This type of cladding is also a characteristic of local architecture aged wood surfaces (e.g. barns, gable walls, fences). The highest point of the buildings is below the level of the canopy. From the hill above the land, the cabin resort area is visible, but from that distance, the dark, natural grey-colored buildings blend in with this natural environment.
