In Furillen, Sweden, a geometric prism home entitled 'Black Lodge,' created by Jagnefalt Milton, blends nicely into the surrounding woodland with its natural timber facade.
This archetypal abode is as simple as it gets. Its structure is built from mainly timber and it's a flexible shelter that can raise and lower its walls. Users can manipulate the panels according to their comfort; it can be lowered to shield bad weather or just for privacy.
The timber frame is extra light so users can easily handle the up and down motion. Milton has maintained the natural essence of the woodland by not incorporating modern decor or technology. It's a shelter for basic needs such as sleeping or mingling while it's raining.
