furthering the utility of the structural pillars, ERA architects makes use of the front pair as a ladder for access to the cabin above. this interior is minimally constructed with a wood base, cork enclosure, and fabric facade. the materiality enhances the camper?s experience with the smell of wood and the filtered light from the trees in the wind. the off the grid cabin is powered by small solar panels lining the roof. interiors are lit by small reading lamps each containing a battery to charge a phone. beneath the cabin, taking advantage of the enclosed foundations beneath the cabin, a wooden picnic area is sheltered from the elements, resting on an swath of ??soft earth and artificial grass.
