"The Morisons’ work pushes notions of going green and alternative culture into the realm of alternate reality, largely through their interest in the literary genre of science fiction."
The style is based on the geodesic shapes of 1970s utopian architecture and the idea of do-it-yourself handicraft. The shape and structure was inspired by a rock the couple found whilst travelling through America. It reflects the couple’s interest in nature and the fantastical. This links well with my project as they are artists who create natural structures with a fantasy twist.
From the outside the structure looks strange and alien, creating a sense of danger but inside a small wooden stove provides the cabin with a warm ambiance creating an environment of refuge and safety.
I really like the looks of this cabin- its bulging shapes contrast with the organic landscape yet it looks at peace nestled within the trees. I have always wanted to build my own house within a forest. I love the idea of escaping the hustle and bustle of the manmade city environment and taking refuge in a wooden house hidden amongst the trees of a forest. One day I AM going to build my house in a forest!
