      在歐洲的東北部，拉脫維亞的鄉村，Ozolini農場的草地和森林是客人放松身心的理想場所，周圍環繞著未受污染的環境。

      該項目的目的是創造一個地方，客人可以享受沉浸在森林中沉默冥想。        

In the countryside of Latvia, in the north-east of Europe, the meadows and forests of the Ozolini farm are the perfect place for guests to relax surrounded by the uncontaminated environment.  

The project purpose is to create a place where guests can enjoy silent meditation completed immerse into the forest.

      我們的項目是在考慮到這種自然和野生環境的情況下開發的，這些小屋不僅不會干擾這個位置，而且還想與它建立密切的聯系。

      第一個概念是創建一個可以復制并適應森林內任何環境的小屋。

      這個目的不能僅僅通過顏色和材料來實現，而是創建一個形狀不僅需要匹配環境，而且還要成為它的一部分。為了達到這個效果，我們決定從該地區的主要元素中獲取靈感：樹木。事實上，考慮到北歐松樹的輪廓并從其樹干中獲取靈感，我們運用了一種"幾乎在森林內消失的圓錐形"的建筑概念。由于短期停留需要的家具數量有限，我們設計了一個圓形平面圖，避開角落并最大化可用空間。

      所有主要結構部件均采用當地木材制造，以保證合理的資源成本，結構外層覆蓋木板條，一旦進入森林，就能將建筑物轉變為模擬元素。

      由于需要有一個安靜的地方供客人冥想并與大自然聯系，據此選擇如何分離功能，從而為生活住宿和服務以及冥想建筑提供了獨立的空間。最終結果由三棟建筑組成，其中一個生活吊艙連接到冥想建筑，這是一個獨立的實體，以創造一個獨立和中立的元素，客人可以在沒有干擾的情況下深深地冥想，光和自然創造了自己的氛圍。這些部件通過木制平臺彼此外部連接，建筑物本身放置在該平臺上，從而使這些區域具有內聚和獨特的感覺。這個區域是建筑物的露天額外空間，壁爐前，在只有大自然的聲音中放松。

      最大的建筑，生活吊艙，設計為一個簡單的開放空間，滿足游客的所有需求，設有一個小廚房和一個放松，畫畫或書寫的區域，床被懸掛以充分利用空間。洗手間被放置在另一個連接到居住地的較小的房間，從外面兩個形狀相互交叉。

      對于冥想室，我們設計的是一個安靜和最小的地方，不需要令人不安的元素，更專注于內心的平和研究。兩側的小而高的窗戶被認為是周圍環境的取景器，讓用戶可以專注于細節而不是更大更復雜的環境。

      建筑物的墻體層是根據該地區的氣候特征，寒冷的冬天和溫暖的夏天開發的，具有羊毛保溫層，再加上纖細的內部軟木飾面和建筑本身的形狀，可以完美地完成室內溫度控制。已經開發了附接到附近樹木的太陽能電池板系統，以便在艙內具有人造光和電，并且雨水被收集并存儲放置在平臺下方的罐中。照明在人們體驗空間的方式中起著至關重要的作用，這就是為什么建筑物被自然光線照亮和側面照亮，利用光線本身來增強住宿的強烈情感感受。

      此外，這些朝向外部的開口允許從不同但特定的觀點來看外部環境的恒定視野。

Our project has been developed considering this natural and wild environment, the cabins not only doesn’t interfere with this aspect of the location, but wants to create a close contact with it. 

The first concept was to create a cabin that could be replicated and adapted to any context within the forest.

This  purpose  could  not  be accomplished just with color and material, instead was necessary to create a shape not only is matching the environment but also want be a part of it. To achieve this effect, we decided to take inspiration from the main element of the area: the trees. Indeed, thinking about the silhouette of the Nordic pine and taking inspiration from its trunk we developed a conic building concept that almost disappears inside the forest. Since the amount of need furniture for a short stay is limited we designed a circular plan, avoiding corners and maximizing the usable space.

All the main structural components are made with local wood to keep a reasonable cost in term of resource, the structure outer layer is covered with wooden slats, which are able to transform the building into a mimetic element once inside the forest.

The choice of how separate the functions, dictated by the need to have a quiet place for guest to meditate and to reconnect with nature, has fallen to have separated spaces for living accommodation and services and the meditation building. The final result is composed by three buildings with a living pod connected to the meditation building that is a separate entity in order to create a detached and neutral element where the guest can deeply meditate without interferences and where light and nature create the ambience itself. These components are externally connected between one another by a wooden platform on which the building itself lays, thus giving these zones a cohesive and unique feeling. This area is meant to be an open-air additional space of the buildings where to relax with the only sounds of nature in front of the fireplace.

The largest building, the living pod, was designed to be a simple open space that meets all the needs of the visitor with a little kitchen and an area where relax, draw or write, the bed is suspended to take advantage of space at its best. The restroom is placed in another smaller room connected to the living place, from the outside the two shapes intersect each other. 

For the meditation room we designed be a quiet and minimal place, without need of disturbing elements and more focused on the research of an inner peace. The small and tall windows on the sides are thought as viewfinder for the surrounding envoiorement, allowing the user to focus on the detail instead of a bigger and more complex envoiorement. 

The wall layers of the buildings were developed focusing on the climatic characteristics of the area, on its cold winters and warm summers, with a wool insulation layer that, together with the slim interior cork finishing and to the shape of the building itself, can perfectly control the interior temperature. A system of solar panels attached to the nearby trees has been developed in order to have artificial light and electricity inside the cabin and rainwater is collected and stored in a tank placed under the platform.Lighting plays a vital role in the way people experience a space, that’s why the buildings are illuminated zenithally and sideways by natural light, using the light itself to enhance the strong emotional feelings of the stay.

Furthermore, these openings towards the outside allow a constant vision of the external environment from different but specific point of view.
