Presenting a new tiny cabin design, “The Chamberlain”, the result of a collaboration with Base Cabin, builders of architecturally designed, pre-fabricated cabins and tiny houses.

We were approached by Base cabin to create a design for a distinctive cabin that could also cater to the rapidly changing tourism market. With guests increasingly seeking refined, unique experiences, immersed in nature, Base Cabin and Chamberlain Architecture & Interiors worked together on an architecturally led solution to cater to this niche in the market. Given potentially remote settings and scarce construction resources in remote regions, the Base Cabin pre-fabricated model makes this possible.

We experimented with creating strong, sculptural forms that could become iconic and memorable, while maximising internal spaces. Our focus was to challenge some of the constraints associated with small cabins and use soaring ceilings and oversized windows to create an expansive and light filled interior, intended to connect the cabin with beautiful, natural settings. The highlight is a unique, oversized, star gazing skylight allowing you to become fully immersed amongst the stars, or watch clouds track across the sky, by day.

Material choices were carefully considered to be evocative, yet practical, with both a dark and moody palette and a light and airy colour palette, suitable to a variety of settings, from mountains to coastal. The Chamberlain is a carefully considered, prefabricated cabin that combines modular construction, eco-friendly materials, off grid technology and a design that balances comfort and a distinctive and memorable style. This combination provides all the benefits of architecturally designed spaces, without the hassle of a conventional construction process.
