Architectural designer Caspar Schols introduces the new Caban Anna, which is a flatback design that functions as a modular cabin. It was created at the De Biesbosch National Park located in the Netherlands and highlighted by sliding walls that open up to nature. It was then developed into structures that are commercially available and can be used as workspaces, for example.
The cabin, however, is confused to function as a small home complete with a ground floor and mezzanine sleeping section, an outdoor shower, a kitchen, and a bathroom with a tub incorporated into the floor. The aforementioned sliders are built into a wooden base foundation to allow for the cabin's form to be modular and residents to meditate in connection to the outdoors.
