Completed in 2021, this cabin retreat in Flores de Cunha, Brazil, was designed as a refuge and retreat into nature for those looking to escape the chaos of everyday life. Designed by Desterro Arquitetos, a design studio located on Santa Catarina Island, Brazil, the property features a main cabin, outhouse, and outdoor living area surrounded by local fruit trees, a small creek, and visiting wildlife.
Dubbed the Solena Cabin, the design focuses on immersing visitors in nature through a variety of design strategies–including the use of fire in different forms. A wood-burning stove is used to heat the cabin, an outdoor fire pit creates a gathering space, a spacious grill, (or parrilla) is used for cooking outside, and to relax, a wood fired hot tub sits awaiting on a modest patio.
