Adventure in the outdoors is awesome. One of the best sports is mountain biking. In my entry I wanted to design remote mountain biking cabins. They would be put along multi-day trails.

This is inspired by a multi-day hike I did years ago in New Zealand & my love of mountain biking. That trek in NZ has always occupied a very special place in my heart. The idea of combining the fun & adventure of mountain biking with the splendor of a monumental & remote landscape is exciting.

I have started by collecting reference(Google Images & Pixabay) material and ideas. Photos of the trek in NZ as well as photos of timber work used in MTB trail building. This kind of design will be reflected in the architectural elements.
Recently I discovered a free application that quickly and easily collates all this onto one moodboard. The app is called PureRef. Well worth checking out.

I also started thinking and sketching REALLY rough plan views. As part of my process I find listening to certain music will help get the creative juices going. For this concept I have been listening to the soundtracks of BCC Blue Planet 2 & Planet Earth 2.
