The Kilmakabine is built from OSB and stone pine to create the world's first climate-controlled micro-cabin. Italian carpentry company, Declara, designed the cabin to function as a sauna. It combines the coziness of a log cabin with the relaxation and soothing environment of the sauna into one compact design.
On the inside, Kilmakabine features a single wooden bench constructed from stone pine. The material used acts as a natural antibacterial to keep all users comfortable. The exterior is designed with a sleek glazed front door, which light to seep into the micro-cabin while giving the user a sense of privacy. Declara built the sauna cabin with the intention of bringing users closer to nature. Kilmakabine acts as a meditative space of contemplation.
