Freya’s Cabin was designed by Studio Weave and is located in Northumberland in the United Kingdom. The tiny cabin is next to Kielder Water lake, making it extra cold. Well, Freya’s Cabin probably couldn’t be extra cold, as it is basically devoid of insulation. The purpose is mostly to be pretty, although Studio Weave’s creation would provide shelter from the wind.
Studio Weave decorated Freya’s Cabin with elaborate wood carvings, and little else. The entrance to the cabin as well as the interior are beautifully decorated with floral carvings.
