# Two-Storey Compact Cabins This Rustically Modern Treehouse was Designed to Aid Writers Block By Ady Floyd | Published 2015-09-23 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compact-cabins References: [designtaxi](http://designtaxi.com/news/380029/This-Minimalistic-Timber-Cabin-Was-Built-For-Writers-In-Mind/) & [mymodernmet](http://www.mymodernmet.com/profiles/blogs/hut-on-stilts-nozomi-nakabayashi) Architect Nozomi Nakabayashi designed this beautiful compact cabin that resides atop a lush and supportive tree. The [unique homey tree house](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/secret-camp) was created for the architect's client who needed a [humbling retreat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daria-sheina) to aid with constant writer's block. The compact cabin is actually a two-storey unit made with [beautiful timber wood panels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nature-pod), a fully functional wood-burning stove, a desk and skylight. Additionally, there was a bed placed inside the floorboards that can easily retract or remain stored and out of sight. There is also a large deck-like platform that provides a panoramic view of the glorious trees and forest that surround the uninterrupted tree house. The main goal for this cabin is to provide the user with a retreat to clear their mind and allow the flow of creativity to ensue. This lovely structure is located in the secluded woodlands of Dorset England. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 78% | Activity: 65% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Compact Cabin Design:** Opportunity for architects to design compact cabins that provide a retreat for individuals experiencing writer's block. - **Integrating Nature Into Architecture:** Opportunity to incorporate lush forests and trees into architectural designs, creating a harmonious connection with nature. - **Retreat Spaces for Creativity:** Growing demand for retreat spaces that aid in stimulating creativity and overcoming creative blocks. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Architecture:** Architectural firms can explore designing unique, compact cabins for clients seeking creative retreats. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can focus on creating functional and cozy living spaces within compact cabins. - **Hospitality and Tourism:** Opportunity for hotels and resorts to offer unique and secluded cabin experiences that inspire creativity and rejuvenation. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Treehouse Writing Studios](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casetta-tessino.md) - [Elevated Treetop Modern Cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buitenverblijf-nest.md) - [Minimal Bird-Watching Cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hide-cabin.md) - [Off-Grid Forest Retreats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-nest-cabin.md) - [Tranquil Nature-Centric Cabin Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nortehaus.md) - [Forest-Treetop Retreats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/more-cabin.md) - [Modern Luxury Holiday Cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yimura-cabins.md) - [Dark-Green Minimal Cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scalar-architecture.md) - [Countryside Woodland Cabin Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aralar-cottage.md)
