Alpine shelter by OFIS

Tiny aluminium-clad cabin on the Slovenian-Italian border.

OFIS Arhitekti worked with local structural engineers CBD to develop the Kanin Winter Cabin, which is designed to resist extreme weather conditions on its exposed site on Mount Kanin. This tiny 9.7-square-meter cabin has a narrow floor plan containing three shelf-like floors, and has dimensions of just 2.4 by 4.9 meters. It is made from a combination of cross-laminated timber, glass and aluminium panels.
