"We start with great design and the understanding that people are going to use the cabins we build," explains the preamble to the cabin concept on Form&Forest's site. "A cabin is a sanctuary. The cabin experience is about recreation, and restoration. It should restore, not diminish your sanity."

Form&Forest hired Vancouver architect D'Arcy Jones to develop three cabin designs, of which the newest is Trapper (shown). Each cabin encompasses approximately 635 square feet. Trapper's design is typical in that it features an open concept living room, generous patio space at the back, and bedrooms tucked behind the terrace. The Cowboy design, by contrast, features wraparound windows in the main space and a soaker tub at the center, from which to enjoy the view.

The designs are intended for those who have a plot of land and are thinking of building on it, and the cabin's prefabricated components are designed to ensure minimal labour and sub trade requirements on the building site. For more on the design process, check out the Form&Forest blog here.
