The 'Niliaitta' prototype cabin has been designed by Studio Puisto in a woodland located near the Salamajärvi National Park in Finland as a structure that would offer the perfect escape for those looking to bask in the beauty of the surrounding landscape.
The cabin is a modern interpretation of the ancient Niliaitta used by the indigenous Samí people as a way to safely store food in the outdoors. The 387-square foot cabin is outfitted with a bathroom, kitchenette and bedroom that puts a focus on the exterior environment thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows and an elevated, single-post design.
The 'Niliaitta' prototype cabin is also focused on having minimal impact on the surrounding environment to further maximize its ecological profile.
