Text description provided by the architects. Next to an ancient pond built to hydrate pack animals on an old trail in the woods for the transportation of sacks of coffee, a small plateau now houses a new construction: a cabin for temporary stays, oriented towards the agricultural practices of a small family. Inspired by the ideas of the work Walden by Henry David Thoreau, an author who built a cabin as a practical manifestation of self-sufficiency and reflection on the habitable world, the project sought a volume that ensured thermal comfort, simple technologies, and execution by local workers.
