The 'YEZO' cabin is a project developed by the LEAD Architecture and Design Studio as a structure for the northern mountain range in Hokkaido, Japan that would blend in seamlessly to the rural landscape. The structure would be nestled into the landscape to make the most of the surrounding mountain range views and enhance the tranquility of the interior space. The structure is focused on efficiency thanks to the use of GluLam timber beams that would eliminate the need for 90% of the materials that would traditionally be required for conventional straight lines.
The 'YEZO' cabin would feature ample space on the interior for relaxing and enjoying views, while a patio section in the front and an elevated observation deck would further enhance time in the great outdoors.
