My cabin design is driven by symbolism architecture, my site is fictitious but is based on landscape features i grew up around ,through the books i read,films and books i watched. the symbol part is inspired by the spirit of adventure,introvert-ism, women casting in the wheat in the fields during planting season, birds of prey that lived on top of huge trees that would magesticaly fly off from their lofty nests at my grandmothers farm , the noisy rock hyrax who dominated a nearby scraggly hill top that nothing grew apart from the drought resilient cactus.
location of the cabins is inspred by the lofty eagles nest and rock hyrax life and rock climbers lifestyle.
the roofs turned angle is inspired by the “swish” of the action of sowing seeds in the fields and the slanted angle is inspired by the dive angle when an eagle leaps from its nest to catch air before ascending back into the sky above.

The cabins are accessible to the determined and are meant to be accessed by those who deserve them. first access/entry is by climbing the rock face even though there is a staircase in the back for easy access into the building but, for the Adrenalin seekers can scale the rocks and walls , this way it creates a sense of achievement once you get to the top. The buildings are attached to rock outcrops by steel framing strategically and also this is derived from how a rock hyrax adheres itself onto a rock by having large, soft pads at the soles of their feet but in this case the base of the steel structure will be on concrete foot pads.
huge windows and roll up garage doors are inspired by the views across the Kenyan Savannah.
there is a lounge at the bottom of the building to catch up and also an infinity tub at the edge of the building to soak yourself after a long adventurous day or hot afternoon as you watch the sunset over the horizon.
