@ Joe;

no point man,
just some extra visuals from a related language.

I personally really like this and agree that this is more a ‘viewing point’ than what one could really use as a ‘shelter’. Still, it’s more substantial than any umbrella…

I do really like how they have layered this and it does give the designed part of this shelter some depth. Many people use this technique in a very bland topographic manner but this shows some real potential for this manufacturing technique.

As long as the offcuts are put to good use, this is an all-round great design.

@smithy: I think Dariusz above has used the appropriate name for the structure. In the pictures, the snow is both outside and inside. Rain? go figure.

I love the story.. and the structure does remind me of a flower press. However, (as so often happens) the actual cabin doesn’t have the promised fantastical feel.. did freya really have access to cad? I’m not sure that cnc blossoms in this context, although it is interesting to see it try and I would probably have to go and see it for real – perhaps in a year. from the story the art of christina iglesias would seem more apt, something tactile and crafted. Does this mean that stories just are better than architecture?
