I was truly inspired by the Tree Snake Cabins, designed by the Portuguese architects Luís + Tiago Rebelo de Andrade. The photos on ArchDaily feature the cabins in the pine woods somewhere deep in the mainland. I decided to reposition them on a steep rocky slope going down to the ocean. The horizontal body of the cabin would form a nice contrast to the thin vertical pine trees. The floor plan organisation would basically remain the same, but I imagine the facade more minimalist and with diagonal wood cladding.

I was randomly googling “epic cliff” and “kitesurf beach”, when I found a photo of Cabo da Roca in Portugal and imagined a bright sunny day, the two cabins on the burning hot rocks and a view of a couple of kitesurfers enjoying the wind and the ocean.

Anyway it’s just some first thoughts.
