Forêt Eco Cabins is a net-zero, wellness-based retreat designed for deep connection with nature. The tiny eco-cabins are a playful reinterpretation of the traditional cabin typology: at 45 m², each includes a full kitchen, washroom, loft bed, and screened porch. Sculptural torqued roofs enhance interior height and frame views of the forest, while interiors emphasize natural tones and finishes. Powered by a solar array, the cabins incorporate Passive House wall assemblies, wood fiber insulation, and low-VOC materials, and are elevated on helical piles for minimal site impact.
